Configuring Custom APNs

Custom Access point name (APN) configuration on the MPE device, when the setting is set to true, overrides the behavior of the DIAMETER.ENF.AFDirectReply setting on a per APN basis.

When the DIAMETER.ENF.AFDirectReply setting is set to true, all Rx processing can be synchronous for specific APNs.

The Custom APNs Configuration display has three screens:
