GSN-Lite Deliverables

The GSN-Lite offering is a software package built on the Linux operating system, available in four distinct configurations:

1. The first configuration allows communication with the BSS, the HLR, the MSC/VLR, the SMS-GMSC, and other SGSN/GGSN(s) over the IP (IPv4) interface. In this configuration, Frame Relay over E1 and ITU-T compliant interfaces towards the HLR, the MSC/VLR, and the SMS Gateway are used.
   
   
2. The second configuration allows communication with the BSS, the HLR, the MSC/VLR, the SMS-GW, and other SGSN/GGSN(s) over the IP (IPv4) interface. In this configuration, Frame Relay over T1 and hybrid ANSI/ITU-T interfaces towards the HLR, the MSC/VLR, and the SMS Gateway are used as per the following:
   
   
   • The HLR interface: MAP services are run as per the ETSI specification, which uses the services of ITU-T defined TCAP with 24bit point code.
     
     
   • The SMS Gateway interface: The SMS module utilizes ETSI MAP services, which use ITU-T defined TCAP with 24-bit point code.
     
     
   • The MSC/VLR Gateway interface: The 2.5G GSN uses the ETSI BSSAP+ with 24-bit point code support. The HLR, the SMS, and the BSSAP+ use ANSI SCCP services over SIGTRAN (M3UA/SCTP/IP). This configuration is targeted at ANSI networks, such as the US.
     
     
3. The third configuration allows communication interface with the BSS to be frame Relay/E1 and those with the HLR, the MSC/VLR, and the SMS-GW to be SS7/E1.
   
   The HLR, the SMS, and the MSC/VLR interfaces run over ITU-T SS7 with 14-bit point code.
   
4. The fourth configuration allows communication interface with the BSS to be Frame Relay/E1 and those with the HLR, the MSC/VLR, and the SMS-GW to be MTP2/T1 as per the following:
   
   
   • The HLR interface: MAP services are run as per the ETSI specification, which uses the services of ITU-T defined TCAP with 24-bit point code.
     
   • The SMS Gateway interface: The SMS module utilizes ETSI MAP services, which uses ITU-T defined TCAP with 24-bit point code
     
   • The MSC/VLR Gateway interface: The 2.5G GSN uses ETSI BSSAP+ with 24-bit point code support. The HLR, the SMS, and the BSSAP+ use ANSI SCCP services over ANSI MTP3. The ANSI MTP3 utilizes the ANSI MTP2/T1 interface of Adax's HDC PCI card.
     

The software package contains the following documentation:

• User Manual: It contains the installation instructions, network management details including configuration, status, statistics, alarms, troubleshooting procedures and sizing information.
• Release Bulletin: This will contain a summary of the product release, highlighting the features, assumptions, standard compliance, delivery file details etc. This will contain a summary of the changes made in each release over the previous commercial release. It will also detail the enhancements, bug fixes for a patch release.
• MIB and installations instructions for SNMP Agent
