Office Data
Before configuring service data, you need to set the local office

information, that is to set the properties of the local MSC Server, including: office type; signaling point (SP) code of the local office; signaling network to which the office belongs; whether the office is a signaling transfer point (STP);

whether the office supports signaling connection control part (SCCP)

SS7 Network Identifier

Network identifier:

Four types of SS7 signaling network identifier: international

network, international reserved network, national network, national

reserved network MSOFTX3000 supports that the local office exists in four networks at the same time, but usually no more than two.

Before configuration confirm which network SS7 signaling network

belongs to.

Signaling Point Code

SPC uniquely identifies a node in the signaling network.

The length of SPC in international reserved network and national network in China is 24 bits.

The length of SPC in international network and national reserved network is 14 bits.

SP in two networks at the same time has two SPCs.

MSC Number and VLR Number

Currently, MSC and VLR are configured together in the network.

Therefore, MSC number is the same as VLR number.

MSC/VLR number adopts E.164 coding mode, and the coding

format is: CC+NDC+LSP

In this format, CC is country code and NDC is national

destination code, and LSP is the number used in SS7 signaling messages to stand for MSC.

MSRN and HON

MSRN is used to route the call to the MSC which MS is currently

located. HON is used by the MSC-A to set up a connection to the MSC-B. So, MSRN/HON is a temporary number.
The format of MSRN/HON adopts E.164 coding mode, and the coding

format is: CC+NDC+ individual number. Usually, the format of MSRN/HON is based on MSC number and another several digits are added.

Parameter Relationship
The commands for configuring office data and their parameter

relations are shown in the following figure.

SET OFI/ADD OFI [National Network Code] [National Reserved Network Code] [Local Area Code] ADD SCCPSSN [Network indicator] [SSN] [SPC] [OPC]

[Nation/Region] [Inter MGW Media Type]

SET INOFFMSC/ADD INOFFMSC [MSC Number] [VLR Number] [MCC] [MNC] ADD VLRCFG [MCC] [MNC] [CC] ADD SCCPGT [SPC] [Network indicator] [GT address information]

Local Office Data Configuration

Adding local office information

Command: SET OFI/ADD OFI MSOFTX3000 support 16 local office information tables( numbered 015). The local office data index added for the first time is "0". SET OFI is used for the first time to add local office data. Currently, MSOFTX3000 supports multi-SP configuration at the local office, so we could use the command ADD OFI to add SPs to break the number limitation of 16 signaling links.

Local Office Data Configuration

Setting local mobile network information

Command: SET INOFFMSC/ADD INOFFMSC One MSOFTX3000 can be configured with 16 MSCs in maximum, and each MSC has its own local office

information.
Use the command SET INOFFMSC to configure the first MSC and ADD INOFFMSC to configure the other MSCs.

Local Office Data Configuration

Adding local VLR information

Command: ADD VLRCFG Maximum number of users is used to set the maximum user number allowed by each VLR module. MSRN release timeout refers to the roaming number auto-release time. Roaming number can be allocated according to MSC number, LAI number, or randomly.

Local Office Data Configuration

Adding MAP information

Command: ADD MAPACCFG ODB_SS is operator determined barring supplementary services. Prepaging means that VLR starts paging immediately after receiving the message PRN, and then it returns PRN_ACK to HLR after receiving PAGING RESPONSE.

Local Office Data Configuration

Adding Local SCCP Subsystem

Command: ADD SCCPSSN SCCP manages the users of OMAP, MAP, HLR, VLR and such users through TCAP, all these users are called SCCP subsystem. Adding SCCPSSN increases the users of MTP messages, enlarges the addressing area. When MSOFTX3000 functions as a visited MSC, configure the local MSC, VLR and SCMG subsystem. When MSOFTX3000 functions as a gateway mobile switching

center (GMSC), configure the local MSC and SCMG subsystems.

Local Office Data Configuration

Adding local GT information

Command: ADD SCCPGT GT is short for global title, and is used globally. It implements the circuit independent message transmission between random SP. Adding SCCPGT is used to address globally through GT information. Set [Translation type] as default value 00 for the mobile network and set [GT indicator] as GT4. For the local user of SCCP, set [Translation result type] as SPC.

Questions
Which commands does local office configuration include? How many SS7 signaling links can MSOFTX3000 support

when connecting to a SP?

Which SCCP subsystems should be added in local office data

configuration of VMSC?
