Field Description
Charging Characteristics
Home Bit Behavior The behavior bit for charging a home subscriber.
Home Profile The profile index for a home subscriber.
Roaming Bit Behavior The behavior bit for charging a roaming subscriber.
Roaming Profile The profile index for a roaming subscriber.
Visiting Bit Behavior The behavior bit for charging a visiting subscriber.
Visiting Profile The profile index for a visiting subscriber.
All Bit Behavior The behavior bit for charging all subscribers. This value is used only if all
subscribers are configured to use the same charging characteristics. This
value is overridden by the behavior bit set for a subscriber type.
All Profile The profile index for all subscribers.
Use GGSN The type of the subscriber using the charging characteristics configured on
the APN. Value could be Home, Roaming, Visitor, or None. None indicates
that the subscriber is using the charging characteristics from the SGSN.
Use RADIUS Returned Specifies whether the GGSN accepts charging characteristics returned from
the RADIUS server for all subscribers for the APN. Value could be True or
False.
DHCP
Lease Expiration Policy The action taken when leases for IP addresses assigned to PDP contexts that
are facilitated by the APN, are about to expire. For example, auto renew.
GSM-QoS
SDU Error Ratio Code The SDU error ratio code based on which the negotiat ion of QoS att ribute
reliability class needs to be configured on the APN. Value is an integer
between the range 1 and 7. Each code has an assigned value.
Residual BER Code The residual bit error rate (BER) based on which the negotiation of QoS
attribute reliability class needs to be configured on the APN. This value is
specified if the SDU error ratio code is 1, 2, 3, or 7.
Residual BER code is an integer in the range 1 and 9. Each code has an
assigned value.
