MAP Service Configuration Mode Commands

The MAP Service Configuration Mode is used to configure properties for Mobile Application Part (MAP) service.

Mobile Application Part (MAP) is a protocol which provides an application layer for the various nodes in the core mobile network and GPRS and UMTS core network to communicate with each other in order to provide services to mobile phone users. The MAP service provides the application-layer protocol support used to access the Home Location Register (HLR).

code pt_code } [ source-ssn ssn| check-imei-every-n-eventstimes]no equipment-identity-register { isdn E.164_num |  point codept_code }
no

Deletes the EIR configuration.

isdn number

Enter the E.164 number of the EIR.

number: must be a string of 1 to 15 digits.

point code pt_code
Enter SS7 point code address of the EIR in dotted-decimal format according to variant settings:
  • ITU Range 0.0.1 to 7.255.7
  • ANSI Range 0.0.1 to 255.255.255
  • TTC Range 0.0.1 to 15.31.255
  • or a string of 1 to 11 characters
source-ssn ssn

Identifies the subsystem number (SSN) to be used.

ssn must be an integer from 1 to 255.

check-imei-every-n-events times

Configures the frequency with which a ‘check IMEI’ message is sent to the EIR. When set, the SGSN skips sending the ‘check IMEI’ message for the first N-1 where IMDI/IMEISV is received.

times :
  • For releases 8.0 and 8.1, the value must be an integer from 1 to 15.
  • For releases 9.0 and higher, the value must be an integer from 1 to 255.

IMPORTANT:

This feature requires the enabling of verify-equipment-identity for IMEI or IMEISV as specified with the the gmm retrieve-equipment-identity imei command of the call-control-profile configuration mode.


Usage:

Configure the identity of the EIR that the SGSN uses and the interaction parameters.

Increasing the check-imei-every-n-events frequency enables the EIR to avoid overload as the number of data-only devices attaching to the network increases.


Example:
Configure EIR with point code 1.255.1 to perform IMEI check after every 61st received Attach Request message:
equipment-identity-register
point code 1.255.1 check-imei-every-n-events 62

Identifies the IP address of the GMLC of the local PLMN. The address will be published to the HLR in the MAP Update_GPRS_Location Request.

ipv4 address must be a standard dotted-decimal notation.

IMPORTANT:

Even though gsn-address is optional per the CLI grammar, this keyword is a mandatory parameter when configuring the GMLC for the location service feature in the SGSN.

source-ssn ssn

Identifies the subsystem number (SSN) to be used.

ssn must be an integer from 1 to 255.


Usage:

This command identifies the GMLC associated with the MAP Service configuration in support of the Location Services functionality enabled on the SGSN.

Only one GMLC can be defined per MAP Service configuration.
