PCC-Sp-Endpoint Configuration Mode Commands

PCC-Sp-Endpoint Configuration Mode Commands
 
 
The PCC-Sp-Endpoint Configuration mode provides a mechanism at IPCF to support Sp interface endpoint. It represents a client end for SSC interactions. The PCC-Sp-Endpoint configuration mode facilitates the configuration of Sp interface as well as manage the connection and operational parameters related to its peer.
note_smallImportant: This configuration mode is supported from StarOS Release 12.1 onward.
