Protocol

The protocol type that you want the agent to use: TCP or UDP. For further information, see Limitations - GTP' Transported Over TCP in GTP' Agent MZSH Commands, Events and Limitations(3.1).

Port

GSN IP Address

The IP addresses or hostnames of the GSN nodes that provide the data.

Server Port

The server port number for each node. The agent will detect GGSN source port changes via the Node Alive Request or Echo Request messages. If a change is detected, it is is registered in the System Log. The agent's internal configuration is updated.

Format

Format must match the Data Record Format in Data Record Packet IE. This is applicable if the Packet Transfer Command is either Send Data Record Packet or Send possibly duplicated Data Record Packet.

When selected, the Data Record Format Version in Data Record Packet IE must be identical to the setting in Format Version.

Format Version

Format version must match the Data Record Format Version in Data Record Packet IE. This is applicable if the Packet Transfer Command is Send Data Record Packet or Send possibly duplicated Data Record Packet.

Directory

Acknowledgement from APL

Select this checkbox to enable an acknowledgement from the APL module that connects to the GTP' agent. This enables you to make sure that data is transmitted completely.

No Private Extension

Select this checkbox to remove the private extension from any of the agent's output messages.

Use seq num of Cancel/Release req.

Select this checkbox to change the type of the sequence numbers that are populated in a Data Record Transfer Response to either Release Data Record Packet, or Cancel Data Record Packet, in the Requests Responded field. Otherwise, the agent applies the sequence number of the released, or cancelled, Data Record Packet.

Max Wait for a Response (sec)

Max Number of Request Attempts

Specify the maximum number of attempts to perform in order to receive a Node Alive Response and Redirection Response.

Max Outstanding Numbers

Specify the maximal number of packages that you want kept in memory for sequence number checking.

Max Drift Between Two Numbers

Specify the maximum numbers that can be skipped between two sequence numbers.

Clear Checking

Select this checkbox to avoid saving the last sequence number when the workflow has been stopped.

Clear the checkbox to save the sequence number of the last collected package when the workflow is stopped. This way, as soon as the workflow is restarted, a package with the subsequent number is expected and the workflow continues processing from the where it had stopped.

Agent Handles Duplicates

Select this option to store duplicates in a persistent data directory that you specify on the Miscellaneous tab. The packet will remain in the directory until the agent receives a request to release or to cancel it.

Route Duplicates to

Select this option to route duplicates to a link that you select from the drop-down list.

Alternate Node

Decoder

Tagged UDR Type

Click Browse and select a pre-defined Tagged UDR Type. These UDR types are stored in the Ultra and Code servers. The naming format is:

<internal>(<module>)

If the decoder is intended to reprocess UDRs of an internal format, the Decoder MZ format tagged UDRs has to be selected enabling this list. Once enabled, the internal format must be selected.

Full Decode

Select this check box to enable full decoding of the UDR, before it enters the workflow. This, in turn, might reduce performance rate.

Clear this check box empty to minimize decoding work in the agent. By leaving this check-box empty, you postpone decoding, and discovery of corrupt data to a later phase in the workflow.
