Default Service Settings

A Base Station/Micro Base Station can operate in either Advanced or Quick mode of services provisioning.

Advanced Mode enables operators to completely deny services to SUs that are not defined in the system. This increases the security of the system but complicates slightly the installation process, because an SU must be defined in the system before it can be registered and receive any service.

Quick Mode is intended primarily for scenarios where the operator is not concerned with potentially "stolen" SUs, and wishes to provide basic services also to SUs that are not yet defined in the system. It may also be used as a temporary operation mode during SUs installation phase.

In both modes, defined services are provisioned to defined SUs. The difference between the two modes is in provisioning of services to SUs that are not defined in the system.

In Advanced mode, an undefined SU that is authenticated by the system will be added to the database of the NPU (NMS) as Temporary. The database will include also its MAC address and the configured registration parameters. No services are provided as long as the SU is defined as Temporary. To receive services, the SU should be defined in the system. Then it becomes a Permanent SU and the required services should be assigned to it.

In Quick mode, an undefined SU that is authenticated by the system will be added to the database of the NPU (NMS) as Temporary. The subscriber will be able to use only services based on the Default Service Profile(s). Once the SU is defined as Permanent and services are assigned to it, it will be able to use the defined services.
