Diameter Common Configuration Overview

References:

The following documents describe Diameter Common Configuration components, provide configuration procedures, and list the sequence in which to perform the configuration of the components.

Diameter Common User's Guide
Help > Diameter Common

The Diameter Common User's Guide and Help provide information about how to use the Diameter Common GUI pages to configure Network Identifiers and MP Profiles, and how to export and import configuration data for Diameter, Diameter Common, IPFE, MAP-Diameter Interworking, and DSR Applications.

The Diameter Common GUI pages perform configuration and DSR Bulk Import/Export tasks.

Diameter Common on the NOAM

The Diameter Common menu items on the NOAM provide access to GUI pages to perform the following tasks:

Configure Diameter Common > Network Identifiers >MCCMNC
Configure Diameter Common > Network Identifiers >MCCMNC Mapping
Perform DSR Bulk Import/Export operations (see DSR Bulk Import and Export)

MCCMNC Mapping

MCCMNC Mapping is used to configure mapping of MCC+MNC combinations to Diameter Realms, MSIN prefix digits, and CC+NDC combinations.

The MCC+MNC combinations must first be configured using the MCCMNC GUI pages before the MCCMNC Mapping configuration is performed.

Diameter Common on the SOAM

The Diameter Common menu items on the SOAM provide access to GUI pages to perform the following tasks:

Configure Diameter Common > Network Identifiers >MCC Ranges
Configure Diameter Common > MPs > Profiles and Diameter Common > MPs > Profile Assignments
Perform DSR Bulk Import/Export operations (see DSR Bulk Import and Export)

MCC Ranges

The MCC Ranges component defines up to 10 distinct, non-overlapping Mobile Country Code (MCC) Ranges, which are the first 3 digits of the IMSI. The FABR and RBAR applications consider an IMSI to be invalid for address lookup if the MCC portion of the decoded IMSI falls within any of the Reserved MCC Range configured by the user.

MPs

A Diameter Agent Message Processor (DA-MP) is a computer or blade hosting the Diameter base protocol and one or more DSR Applications. Multiple DA-MPs are supported in a DSR system.

An SS7 Message Processor (SS7-MP) is a computer or blade hosting the MD-IWF SS7/TCAP Application that is used in translating MAP Request messages to Diameter Request messages.
