Network node Configuration Parameters

To configure each mobile network node type, you need the parameters below:

Parameter name	Description	Applies to	Values or example	Notes
PC Type	Type of the SS7 Point Codes	Entire network	ITU, ANSI
NI	Network Indicator	Entire network	national, reserverdnational, international
PC	SS7 Point Code	Each SS7 node	1035, 1-107-5
GT	SCCP Global Title	MSC, VLR, SGSN, HLR	882500010	May be shared by all components running on a SS7 node
MGT Type	Type of GT used for IMSI addressing	Entire network	E.212, E.214
CC	Country Code prefix	Usually entire network	882	VPLMN components located abroad should have local CC
Node number	Identity in a cluster	VLR, SGSN	1 to 10 bits integer	Can be same for VLR and SGSN if a 1:1 relationship exists
Node bits	Bits for identity	VLR, SGSN, YateBTS	1 to 10	Can be same for VLR and SGSN if a 1:1 relationship exists
IGWMSC	Outbound calls gateway	MSC	Protocol specific	Typically the GMSC is also IGWMSC
Roaming No	Pool of Roaming Numbers	VLR	882990020-882990049	The pool can be shared with handover numbers
Handover No	Pool of Handover Numbers	MSC	882990050-882990059	The pool can be shared with roaming numbers
SGSN GTP-C	GSN IP Address	SGSN	IP Address	Alternative (or only) IPv6 address may be present
SGSN GTP-U	GSN IP Address	SGSN	IP Address	May be same or different from the GTP-U Address
