Supported Registration Reply Codes

PDSN Service Reply Codes

The following registration reply codes are supported by the system’s PDSN service in accordance with the 3GPP2 A.S0001-A v2: 3GPP2 Access Network Interfaces Interoperability Specification (also known as 3G-IOS v4.1.1).

Table 1. Supported PDSN Service Registration Reply Codes

Reply Code (Hex / Base 10)	Description	Notes
00H / 0	Registration Accepted	Sent when he subscriber session is successfully set up.
80H / 128	Registration Denied - reason unspecified	Sent when internal errors are encountered when processing the Request packet.
81H / 129	Registration Denied - administratively prohibited	Sent when a newcall policy is set to reject.
82H / 130	Registration Denied - insufficient resources	Sent when no memory or session managers are available to process the session.
83H / 131	Registration Denied - mobile node failed authentication	Sent when the mobile node failed authentication. When multiple errors occur on authentication this message takes precedence and is listed first.
85H / 133	Registration Denied - identification mismatch	Sent when the PCF's timestamp does not match the PDSN. The PDSN sends a corrected timestamp to be used as the ID by the PCF in subsequent requests.
86H / 134	Registration Denied - poorly formed request	Sent when an unsupported Service option is received or the packet is malformed in any way.
88H / 136	Registration Denied - unknown PDSN address	Sent when PDSN redirect policy is invoked.
89H / 137	Registration Denied - requested reverse tunnel unavailable	Sent when reverse tunneling is requested by the mobile node but it is not enabled on the system.
8AH / 138	Registration Denied - reverse tunnel is mandatory and ‘T’ bit not set	Sent when reverse tunneling is enabled on the system but is not supported by the mobile node.
8DH / 139	Registration Denied - unsupported vendor ID or unable to interpret data in the CVSE	Sent when the Airlink records from the PCF contain a Vendor ID value other than 0x159F or the Accounting VSE contains an Application Sub Type other than RADIUS or the Request contains a Critical Vendor Specific Extension Type that is not recognized by the PDSN.
