TER TRACE ACTIVATION FROM THIS PLMN: ALLOWED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37) LOCATION REQUEST MOBILE OR IGINATED: SUPPORTED MOBILE TERMINATED: SUPPORTED DEFERRED MOBILE TERMINATED: SUPPORTED COMMAND EXECUTED Follow the below recommendations when setting PLMN parameter values. 19) CIPHERING This parameter must be set to 'used'. You can do it only when the authentication is in use. The recommended two combinations are (choose only one): A5/2 and NON-CIPHERED ALLOWED A5/1 ALLOWED The use of A5/2 alone should not be allowed because A5/2 cannot be used in these location updates. 20) TRIPLE RE-USE Set the parameter value for triplet reuse to Y. This way, when authentication or ciphering is in use, the network operations are not prevented if new triplets c annot be obtained from the AUC. 21) MSRN GROUP Set the parameter value for home subscribers to 2 seconds and for visitors to 30 seconds. If the lifetime of the roaming number is too short, the call is cleare d with a clear code 405 erroneous request from co-process. There is no recommend ation for the MSRN group. 22) BLACK LIST EFFECT If the effect of unknown IMEI is BLOCK, use the CEIR or manually keep your EIR w hite list always updated. Trace observation reports cause substantial load in th e MSC. The maximum number of traced subscribers has been calculated assuming tha t each of them makes only a few calls per day. We recommend that you limit the n umber of traced subscribers if you expect the traced subscribers to make a lot o f calls roughly at the same time. 23) PNS TIME LIMIT No recommendations. The default value is 20 seconds. When a PNS subscriber has C all Forwarding No Reply service, the no_reply_condition_time of the CFNRy overru les the pns_time_limit. 24) TRAFFIC TERMINATION ON CANCEL LOCATION Traffic termination in the PLMN-specific parameters applies only in roaming (can cel location). 25) ADVICE OF CHARGE PARAMETERS No recommendations. 26) IMEI STATUS CHECK FROM EIR IN CASE OF... Allow the IMEI status check from the EIR in location updates and on IMSI attach. The status check is always done against the IMEI status in the subscriber data, even if the parameters do not require IMEI checking in the EIR. Also, the IMEI checking in the EIR is always done if the IMEI sent by the MS is different from the IMEI in the database. The usage of IMEI checking increases the network load between the VLR and the HLR. 27) TMSI ALLOCATION Set TMSI reallocation to ON with location update, periodic location update, IMSI attach and location update with new visitor. According to GSM specifications, T MSI is location-area-specific. 28) AUTHENTICATION According to specifications, authentication has to be done when the subscriber e nters the network. Authentication in other cases is necessary only for the chang ing of the security key(s). The usage of authentication increases the network lo ad between the VLR and the HLR, that is, the fetching of the triplets/qintets fr om the AUC. 29) IMEI CHECKING Allow IMEI checking when the subscriber enters the network. Note that IMEI statu s is checked from the EIR when location update with new visitor is USED.

30) INTELLIGENT NETWORK MOBILITY MANAGEMENT No recommendations. Using this for home subscribers increases the network load. 31) INTER-PLMN HANDOVER AGREEMENT No recommendations. 32) EQUIVALENT PLMNS No recommendations. 33) UMTS CIPHERING For security reasons and for the subscriber's confidentiality it is recommended to use UMTS ciphering. Authentication and authentication on location update with a new visitor has to be set to ON, and at least one UMTS encryption algorithm o r non-ciphered connection should be allowed in order to be able to give this par ameter the value YES. 34) UMTS EMCRYPTION PARAMETERS Although the subscriber's confidentiality is lowered in non-ciphered connections , due to the fact that non-ciphered connections are rare, and they can be a resu lt of a system malfunction or failure, it is recommended to allow non-ciphered c onnections. The supported algorithm is UEA1, but there are further algorithms to be standardised and used as supported algorithms. It is recommended to set this algorithm to ON. 35) UMTS INTEGRITY PARAMETERS The supported algorithm is UIA1, but there are further algorithms to be standard ised and used as supported algorithms. It is recommended to set this algorithm t o ON. 36) NETWORK ACCESS RIGHT With these parameters you can define access rights for GSM and UMTS subscribers to GSM and UMTS networks. You can also define reject cause codes for those GSM a nd UMTS subscribers who attempt to attach to a not allowed GSM or UMTS network. In case of the access right parameters the recommended value is YES, meaning tha t access rights for GSM or UMTS subscribers are granted to attach to both a GSM and a UMTS network. In case of the reject causes the recommended value is NO (not used), meaning tha t the default value is used. If the PLMN parameter is set to the value NO, the V LR parameter becomes valid. If the VLR parameter is also set to the value NO, th e default value is LA, meaning LOCATION AREA NOT ALLOWED. 37) LOCATION REQUEST No recommendation. 38) EIR ADDRESS Define EIR address here if you use Multiple EIRs based on the subscribers' home PLMN (optional). If you use Multiple EIR functionality and do not define EIR add ress here, the VLR will not perform IMEI status checking for these subscribers.
