> GPRS Service Configuration Mode Commands
> The GPRS Service Configuration Mode is used within the context configuration mode to define the criteria the SGSN needs to operate within a GPRS network. The GPRS Service works with other services, such as SGSN GPRS Tunneling Protocol (see SGTP Service Configuration Mode Commands) and Mobile Application Part (see MAP Service Configuration Mode Commands), to handle communication parameters required to work with other network entities such as the base station subsystem (BSS).
> The prompt for this mode appears as:
> [context_name]hostname(config-gprs-service)#
> Important: The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).
> accounting
> Defines the accounting context name and enables/disables specific types of CDR generation for the accounting in the GPRS service.

> • | scdr : Enables generation of S-CDRs.

> • | sms : Enables generation of SMS-type CDRs based on one of the following:

> • | mo-cdr : SMS CDRs orignates from the mobile.

> • | mt-cdr : SMS CDRs terminates at the mobile.

> +
> This symbol indicates that more than one keyword can be used and repeated. This enables you to include more than one type of CDR selection in a single command.
> context cntx_name
> Specifies an accounting context to be associated with the GPRS service.
> cntx_name : Define a string of 1 to 79 alphanumeric characters.
> Usage
> Use this command to define the type of CDRs to generate for GPRS service. By default all types of CDRs are generated. Note that change of this configuration will be applied to new calls and/or to new PDP contexts only.
> By default, generation of the S-CDR, M-CDR, SMS-MT-CDR, and SMS MO-CDR types is enabled.
> Example
> The following command configures the system to generate only M-CDRs for accounting in the current GPRS service:
> accounting cdr-types mcdr

> Removes the a specific charging characteristics configuration definition.
> default
> Resets the charging characteristics to system defaults.
> index
> Configures a profile index for the parameter to be specified. index can be configured to any integer value from 0 to 15.
> Important: 3GPP standards suggest that profile index values of 1, 2, 4, and 8 be used for hot billing, flat rate billing, prepaid billing and normal billing, respectively. A single charging characteristics profile can contain multiple behavior settings.
> buckets number
> Default: 4
> Specifies the number of statistics container changes due to QoS changes or tariff time that can occur before an accounting record should be closed.
> number can be configured to any integer value from 1 through 4.
> interval time
> time is measured in seconds and can be configured to any integer value from 60 to 40,000,000.
> tariff time1 mins hours time2 mins hours time3 mins hours time4 mins hours
> Specifies time-of-day time values to close the current statistics container (but not necessarily the accounting record). Six different tariff times may be specified. If less than six times are required, the same time can be specified multiple times.
> Important: The system assumes that the billing system uses the day/date to determine if the statistics container represents an actual tariff period.
> For each of the different tariff times, the following parameters must be configured:

> • | mins: The minutes of the hour, an integer value from 0 to 59.

> • | hours: The hour of the day, an integer value from 0 to 23.

> volume { downlink vol_down_octets uplink vol_up_octets | total total_octets }
> Specifies the downlink, uplink, and total volumes that must be met before closing a CDR.
> vol_down_octets : Measured in octets; can be configured to any integer value from 100,000 to 4,000,000,000.
> vol_up_octets : Measured in octets; can be configured to any integer value from 100,000 to 4,000,000,000.
> total_octets : The total traffic volume (up and downlink) measured in octets; can be configured to any integer value from 100,000 to 4,000,000,000.
> Usage
> Charging characteristics consist of a profile index and behavior settings. This command configures profile indexes for the SGSN’s charging characteristics. The SGSN supports up to 16 profile indexes.
> This command works in conjunction with the cc-sgsn command located in the APN configuration mode that dictates which CCs should be used for subscriber PDP contexts.
> Example
> The following command configures a profile index of 10 for tariff times of 7:00 AM and 7:30 PM:
> cc profile 10 tariff time1 0 7 time2 30 19

> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> check-imei-timeout-action [ continue | reject ]
> default check-imei-timeout-action
> default
> Rejects the Attach or ISRAU procedure if a Check-IMEI timeout occurs.
> continue
> Instructs the SGSN to continue the Attach or ISRAU procedure if a Check-IMEI timeout occurs because the EIR is not reachable. This functionality matches standard call flow.
> reject
> Instructs the SGSN to reject the Attach or ISRAU procedure if a Check-IMEI timeout occurs.
> Usage
> Use this command to control the SGSN reaction if a Check-IMEI fails due to a timeout.
> The continue option allows the SGSN to go forward with the MS Attach if the first Check-IMEI fails to reach the EIR due to a timeout. Any subsequent activity (such as a RAU or Service Request would force another Check-IMEI towards the EIR. If this subsequent MAP Check-IMEI should fail, then the same policy of continuing the procedure would apply.
> Example
> Use the following command to reject Attach Requests if the Check-IMEI timer runsout:
> check-imei-timeout-action reject

> default
> Resets the SM parameters to the defaults.
> activate-max-retransmissions num_retries
> Defines the maximum number of retries to transmit ‘activate PDP context request’.
> num_retries : Must be an integer from 1 to 10.
> Default: 4
> deactivate-max-retransmissions num_retries
> Defines the maximum number of retries to transmit ‘deactivate PDP context request’.
> num_retries : Must be an integer from 1 to 10.
> Default: 4
> ignore-pco-decode-error
> Enables the SGSN to ignore received decode errors that are due to incorrectly encoded PCO IE length in SM Requests.
> Default: disabled
> modify-max-retransmissions num_retries
> Defines the maximum number of retries to transmit ‘modify PDP context request’.
> num_retries: integer from 1 to 10.
> Default: 4
> partial-apn-match
> Enables partial matching of requested APN during APN selection.
> Partial APN or APN with trailing spaces may be present in an Activate Request because incorrect information was keyed in by the user. Though it is valid to reject such Activation Requests, it increases the signaling between the MS and the SGSN. This has an impact on the radio resources.
> requested-apn-from-first-subrec
> Enables use of a ‘requested APN’ from the first subscription record. When this feature is enabled, the PDP Activation is not rejected during APN Selection; instead, the APN from the first subscription record is used as the requested APN and the SGSN continues with the rest of the APN Selection process.
> A requested APN is an optional IE in an Activate PDP Request. To get the requested PDP type, if multiple PDP subscription records exist for the subscriber, then the MS has to include the APN information to choose the PDP subscription record during APN selection. Otherwise, such activations will be rejected during APN selection (per TS 23.060 Appendix A). Though it is valid to reject such activation requests, it increases the signaling between the MS and the SGSN, which impacts the radio resources.
> t3385-timeout secs
> Defines the maximum amount of time for retransmission of ‘activate request’ messages.
> secs : Must be an integer from 1 to 60.
> Default: 8
> t3386-timeout secs
> Defines the maximum amount of time for retransmission of ‘modify request’ messages.
> secs : Must be an integer from 1 to 60.
> Default is 8 seconds.
> t3395-timeout secs
> Defines the maximum amount of time for retransmission of ‘deactivate request’ messages.
> secs : Must be an integer from 1 to 60.
> Default: 8
> trim-trailing-spaces-in-apn
> Enables SGSN to strip off any trailing space(s) in requested APN.
> If a requested APN in an Activate PDP Context Request has any trailing spaces, then those trailing spaces will be removed and the length field will be updated.
> Usage
> Repeat this command with different keywords (parameters) to configure the SM (session management) as needed for this GPRS service. Keywords can be used to optimize signaling between the MS and the SGSN to reduce the impact on the radio resources.
> Example
> Reset the number of retransmission messages for deactivate PDP context request to 5.
> sm deactivate-max-retransmissions 5
> sndcp
> Define the SNDCP reassembly-timeout interval associated with this GPRS service.
> Product
> SGSN
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> sndcp reassembly-timeout time
> default sndcp reassembly-timeout
> default
> Resets the timer configuration to the default value.
> time
> Defines the interval.
> time: Must be an integer from 1 to 5. The default is 5 seconds.
> Usage
> Use this command to modify the SNDCP reassembly timer.
> Example
> Reset the default for the timer.
