GPRS/UMTS Networks
The table below lists the APN commands. Additional commands may be available for your devices. New
commands are often provided in Prime Network Device Packages, which can be downloaded from the
Prime Network software download site. For more information on how to download and install DPs and
enable new commands, see the information on “Adding Additional Device (VNE) support” in the Cisco
Prime Network 4.0 Administrator Guide.
Before executing any commands, you can preview them and view the results. If desired, you can also
schedule the commands. To find out if a device supports these commands, see the Cisco Prime Network
4.0 Supported Cisco VNEs.
Note You might be prompted to enter your device access credentials while executing a command. Once you
have entered them, these credentials will be used for every subsequent execution of a command in the
same GUI client session. If you want to change the credentials, click Edit Credentials. The Edit
Credentials button will not be available for SNMP commands or if the command is scheduled for a later
time.
Working with GPRS Tunneling Protocol Prime (GTPP)
GPRS Tunneling Protocol Prime (GTPP) is used for communicating accounting messages to CGs.
Enhanced Charging Service (ECS) supports different accounting and charging interfaces for prepaid and
postpaid charging and record generation. GTPP accounting in ECS allows the collection of counters for
different types of data traffic including the data in a GGSN CDR (G-CDR) that is sent to the CGF.
GTPP performs the following functions:
• Transfers CDRs between the Charging Data Function (CDF) and CGF.
• Redirects CDRs to another CGF.
• Advertises to peers about its CDR transfer capability; for example, after a period of service down
time.
• Prevents duplicate CDRs that might arise during redundancy operations. The CDR duplication
prevention function is carried out by marking potentially duplicated CDR packets, and delegating
the final duplicate deletion task to a CGF or the billing domain, instead of handling the possible
duplicates solely by GTPP messaging.
