no
Using no in the
command deletes the definition from the SGSN Global configuration.
mcc mcc_num
mcc defines
the mobile country code (MCC) of an IMSI.
mcc_num: Enter
a 3-digit number from 100 to 999 - 000 to 099 are reserved.
mnc mnc_num
mnc defines
the mobile network code (MNC) of an IMSI.
mnc_num: Enter
a 2 or 3-digit number from 00 to 999.
msin
MSIN (mobile subscriber
international number) portion of the IMSI.
first start_num: Defines
first MSIN prefix number in a range
last stop_num: Defines
the last or final MSIN prefix number in a range.
operator-policy policy_name description description
Identify the operator
policy that the IMSI range definition and/or the PLMN-ID
is to be associated.
policy_name :
Enter a string of 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters.
description:
Enter a string of 1 to 100 alphanumeric characters to provide range
clarification for converted Release 9.0 configurations.
If a PLMN-ID is to
be included in the definition, enter the plmnid before
entering the operator policy name.
plmnid plmn_id
The 5-6 digit PLMN-ID
consists of the MCC (mobile country code) plus the MNC (mobile network
code) to identify the public land mobile network (PLMN) for a specific
operator. This keyword associates a specific PLMN with this specific
SGSN operator policy.
plmn_id :
Enter 5 to 6 digits.
+
This symbol indicates
that command can be repeated to create repeated definitions.
Usage:
An IMSI = maximum
of 15 digits. An IMSI consists of the MCC (3 digits) + the
MNC (2 or 3 digits) + the MSIN (the remaining 10 or 9 digits
depending on the length of the MNC ).
MCC and MNC are the
minimum amount of information required to identify a unique operator
policy with IMSI filtering. The MCC and MNC combine uniquely to
identify the country and the network operator, for example: Cingular
Wireless in the United States = mcc 311mnc 180
To improve the granularity
of call handling, an operator policy with additional IMSI filtering
parameters can be defined, to include filtering based on the MSIN,
by defining a MSIN range - first (or start-of-range) MSIN and last
(or end-of-range) MSIN. The range numbers do not include the maximum
allowed for the MSIN but should include a sufficient number to enable
the operator policy to filter effectively.
For the most efficient
IMSI filter, the operator policy should include all of the above parameters
and the PLMN ID which defines the current location of the MS --
this parameter is particularly useful for highlighting which calls
are roaming.
And if none of the
operator policies contain useful filtering information, then the
default operator policy will be applied as the information in this
command is never defined for the default operator policy.
The following table
will illustrate how these filtering parameters determine which operator policy
will govern a call:

The filtering selects
which operator policy will be used to determine how a call is handled -
the operator policy that best matches the IMSI. So, a call with
IMSI 123456789012345 PLMNID 23232 is best matched with OpPol-6.
In most cases, the
operator policy with the most information defined will be used as
a combination of PLMNID and IMSI provides the best match. But OpPol-6
won’t always be the best match. Using the table above:
OpPol-1 is the best
match for IMSI 123456789011111
OpPol-2 is the best
match for IMSI 123456789099999
OpPol-5 is the best
match for IMSI 123456789012345 if the PLMNID is 12344
