MSC Node


Landslide provides SG interface to a simulated Mobile Switching Center (MSC) Node in MSC Node and MME Nodal, test cases.

Also used as MSC I2 Node when I2 Interface is used in MME Nodal, MME Node and SGW Nodal. Used in SMS Network test case when emulating an MSC. 

Also used as MSC MAP Node when MAP-D Interface is used in MME Nodal.

Define the following:

MSC Addr

Enter MSC Address (In MSC I2 Node, MSC MAP Node).

Default : @msc.cisited1.net

Tcl Parameter : MscNodeAddr

Tcl Parameter : MscI2NodeAddr

Tcl Parameter : MscMapNodeAddr

Multi-Homed

Select to indicate that SCTP endpoint is multi-homed, where more than one destination transport address is used to reach the endpoint.

When SGs is enabled : 

Consecutive Secondary Node Address - Select to enable for consecutive address for multi-homed capabilities. Two test nodes provides with consecutive IP addresses.

Separate Secondary Node Address - Select to enable Separate address that is not consecutive. Enable second node and enter Physical Interface, IP address and Outbound traffic port.

Enter the Primary and Secondary Nodes.

Tcl Parameter : MscNodeSecAddr

Tcl Parameter : MscSctpMultiHomedMultiSrcEn

Tcl Parameter : MscSctpMultiHomedSrcSecAddrEn

SCTP 2x2 Mesh

Available when Multi-Homed is enabled. Select to enable SCTP multi-homed 2x2 Mesh capabilities.

One SCTP association has 2 multi-homed endpoints (EP1 and EP2), and each of them has 2 IP addresses, one primary address (Pri) and one Secondary address (Sec). Without enabling this parameter the communication paths are: EP1 Pri <==> EP2 Pri, EP1 Sec <==> EP2 Sec (total of 2 paths). After enabling this parameter the communication paths are: EP1 Pri <==> EP2 Pri, EP1 Pri <==> EP2 Sec,, EP1 Sec <===> EP2 Pri. and EP1 Sec <===> EP2 Sec. (total of 4 paths).

Tcl Parameter: MscSctpMeshEn

MSC Host

Enter MSC Host (In MSC I2 Node).

Default : @msc.cisited1.net

Tcl Parameter : MscNodeHost

Tcl Parameter : MscI2NodeHost

MSC Port  

Enter MSC Port (In MSC I2 Node).

Default : 5060

Tcl Parameter : MscNodePort

Tcl Parameter : MscI2NodePort

UTRAN Cell ID

Enter UTRAN Cell IDt (In MSC I2 Node).

Default : 234151D0FCE11

Tcl Parameter : MscNodeUtranCellId

Tcl Parameter : MscI2NodeUtranCellId

Visited Network ID

Enter Visited Network ID (In MSC I2 Node).

Default: Visited Network Number 1

Tcl Parameter : MscNodeVisitedNtwId

Tcl Parameter : MscI2NodeVisitedNtwId

 

MSISDN

Used in the SMS Network test case and MME Nodal when MAP-D is enabled.

Enter the address of the MSC. Default: 17962490141

Tcl Parameters: MscNodeMsIsdn

Tcl Parameters: MscMapNodeMsIsdn

 

 

Ethernet Configuration

With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:

 


1 Maximum rates, number of sessions, and number of emulated nodes vary depending on the test configuration and the test system's licensed capacity.
