Sms Map Tab


The Sms MAP tab is used to define the information,  in the SMS Network test case, to obtain routing information from the HLR and to deliver (or receive) SMS messages to/from the SGs-IWF/MSC. Map Specification per 3GPP 29.002.

MAP-D interface is also available in the MME Nodal test case.

 

The MAP-C Interface is used by the SMS-SC to obtain routing information for an SMS message so that it knows which SGs-IWF to send SMS message.

The MAP-D interface is used by the MSC/VLR to inform the HLR of the whereabouts of the mobile subscriber.

The MAP-E Interface carries SMS messages (embedded in MAP Messages) either Mobile Terminating (MT) from the SMS-SC towards the MN, or Mobile Originating (MO) from the MN towards the SMS-SC.

Related Measurements

Measurements collected for HSS related processing are reported on the MAP, TCAP, M3UA, and SCCP report tabs.


Requester App Context Version

This is the MAP Operational Version. Select the version from the dropdown list to indicate the protocol version used to MAP-user signaling procedures.  

Range: 1 — 3

Default: 3

Tcl Parameter: MapCVersion

Tcl Parameter: MapDVersion

Tcl Parameter: MapEVersion

Client

Use the checkbox to designate the role of the MAP node. When the box is checked, the node will initiate the SCTP connection. Clear the checkbox if the SUT will initiate the associations.

Tcl Parameter: MapCM3uaClient

Tcl Parameter: MapDM3uaClient

Tcl Parameter: MapEM3uaClient

Point Code Format

The point code is an identifier for a node that can be represented in different formats. Use the radio buttons to select the point code format required by the SUT. Existing values Destination Point Code fields are converted when you change the format.

When you change/select different formats, the current value is converted to decimal value and then converted to the new format.

Options:

  • 3-8-3 — Code is split into 3-bit, 8-bit, and 3-bit fields

  • 4-3-4-3 — Code is split into 4-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, and 3-bit fields

  • 8-8-8 — Code is split into three 8-bit fields, that is, 24-bit value.  

  • 24 — Code is represented by a decimal value (16777215 for 24-bit value).

Tcl Parameter: MapCMscMsIsdn

VLR MSISDN

ISDN number used by the VLR. Used by the MSC when sending a MAP-UPDATE_LOCATION to the HLR.

Operation Timers

The four operation timers, each having different time value are assigned to different operations for identifying the longest wait time for an expected result of an operation.
