Possible Causes
The subscriber has powered off. The location message is deleted, for example, by sending the Cancel message.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Create a message tracing task, and double-click the SRI RSP ERR message. The error code is displayed as follows:
2. On the PGW Web LMT, run the LST DYNSUB command to check whether the VLR or MSC number in subscriber dynamic data is empty. If yes, run the LST LOG command to query logs of the subscriber on the PGW, and check whether the logs indicates that the SND CANCEL command is executed. 3. Run the LST DYNSUB command to query the value of MsPurgedForNonGprs. If it is set to TRUE, the subscriber is purged. When the MS is powered off by the subscriber for some time, the VLR deletes data of the subscriber and sends the PURGE MS message to the HLR.

2. Run the LST SUB command to query whether the LOCK service and the SABLOCK service are provided for the subscriber. 3. Run the LST ODBDAT command to check the setting of the ODBIC service. If the parameter ODBIC is set to BICROAM, run the LST DYNSUB to check the value of VLR Number Type and determine whether the subscriber is roaming internationally. Then, run the LST CBAR command to check whether the subscriber has subscribed to the BAIC service. 4. Run the LST CUG command to query whether the subscriber has subscribed to the CUG service. If yes, determine how the intra- or inter-CUG group calls are restricted, and whether the calling and called subscribers are CUG group members.

2. On the PGW Web LMT, run the LST ISDN command to check the properties of the MSISDN in the SEND-ROUTING-INFO-FOR-SM request message.
INDICATOR = MASTER indicates that the MSISDN is a master number. In this case, go to step 5. INDICATOR = AUXILIARY indicates that the MSISDN is an auxiliary number. In this case, go to step 3.
3. On the PGW Web LMT, run the LST ALS command to check whether the MSISDN subscriber registers the ALS service (ALS = PROV).
Yes = go to step 4 No = the auxiliary number of non-ALS service cannot receive short messages. It is not a fault.
Page14
Yes = go to step 5 No = the auxiliary number of non-ALS service cannot receive short messages. It is not a fault.

Possible Causes
The GT data is incorrectly configured on the FE side. As a result, messages cannot be sent to or by the HLR. The subscriber is not defined in the HLR. Authentication parameters are incorrectly configured.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Create a message tracing task, and check whether location update messages can be received by the HLR or sent to the MSC or VLR. If messages cannot be sent or received, the cause of the fault is that data on the FE side is incorrectly configured. Modify the data configuration based on the number segment of the subscriber contained in the message.
Page18
In this case, run the LST KI command to query subscriber authentication parameters. For USIM card authentication failure, run the LST MAPSERV command to query authentication parameters.

Possible Causes
The HLR GT translation is incorrectly configured on the visited SGSN. The subscriber has subscribed to the roaming restriction services or the lock service. The HLR global data is customized.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Create a message tracing task for the subscriber, and view messages in the location update procedure. If the ISD message is not responded, check whether the HLR GT translation is incorrectly configured on the local SGSN. If yes, check whether the HLR GT translation is incorrectly configured on the visited SGSN.

3. The GPRS Network Speed Is Low or the GPRS Service Cannot Be Used
Fault Symptom
GPRS The GPRS network speed is low, or the GPRS service cannot be used.
Possible Causes
The GPRS location update fails. The QoS parameters are set incorrectly. The parameter 2G/3G Qos mapping is set to TRUE, causing change of the QoS parameter distributed by the HLR.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. The GPRS location update failure leads to the unavailability of the GPRS service. Create a message tracing task for the subscriber to check whether the GPRS-attach is normal.
Page22
3. The GPRS Network Speed Is Low or the GPRS Service Cannot Be Used (Cont.)
2. Run the LST GPRS command to check the configuration of QoS parameters. If the QoS parameters are not compatible with the live GPRS network parameters, the GPRS service quality of the subscriber is compromised. 3. If the parameter 2G/3G Qos mapping is set to TRUE and the SGSN supports the enhanced QoS, the HLR converts 3G QoS parameters into 2G QoS parameters for distribution. Therefore, you are advised to set 2G/3G Qos mapping to FALSE. For details on how the HLR performs data conversion, see the attachment.

Possible Cause
The subscriber is not authorized to receive calls. The CAMEL criteria causes the subscriber calls to be locked, or data exception occurs in the CAMEL service center. The value of the parameter Default call process is incorrectly configured.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Run the LST LCK, LST CBAR, and LST ODBDAT commands to check whether the subscriber is authorized to receive calls. 2. Run the LST CSI command to query the O-CSI and T-CSI templates of the subscriber, and then run the LST TCSITPL and LST OCSITPL commands to query template data. Check whether the parameter ReturnBAIC is correctly configured. 3. Run the LST SUB command to check whether the parameter Default call process is set to TS11.

5. VPN Group Members Cannot Call or Be Called by Each Other Using Short Numbers
Fault Symptom
When a VPN group member dials the short number of another VPN group member, calls cannot be connected and the announcement indicates that the number does not exist.
Possible Causes
The CAMEL template of the subscriber is incorrectly configured. Functional data in the CAMEL services is incorrectly configured.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. On the PGW Web LMT, run the LST OCSI or LST TCSI commands to query data in the CAMEL template of the subscriber. 2. Create a message tracing task for the subscriber, and then make the subscriber restart the MS. View the location update message, and check whether the O-CSI or TCSI of the subscriber is inserted into the VLR. 3. Run the LST MAPCONF command to check whether the parameter CSIRESTRICTION is set to TRUE, and then run the LST CSIR to check the CSI restriction list.

Possible Causes
The call forwarding data is set incorrectly. The subscriber has no call forwarding authority. The subscriber has no registration authority.
Fault locating
1. Check whether the call forwarding data is set correctly.
Check the forwarded-to number analysis table (LST CALLEDNA), IMSI area code table (LST IMSIAR), forwarded-to number prohibition table (LST FRFWDNO), blacklist and white list (SET BWFTN), and domestic area code table (LST DAREA). The call forwarding area restriction may cause the call forwarding registration to fail. Run the LST MAPSERV command to check the settings of call forwarding area restriction and number structure restriction.

Possible Causes
The service registration is faulty. The CRBT service settings are incorrect.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check whether the subscriber registers the CRBT service.
Run the LST SS command to confirm that the plmn-specificSS registered by the subscriber is the CRBT service code of the current network (plmn-specificSS-1 is corresponding to 241, and plmn-specificSS-F is corresponding to 255). Generally, the plmn-specificSS is used as the CRBT service code on the current networks. You can also run the MOD RBT command to register the CRBT service for the subscriber.

7. The HLR Does Not Deliver the CRBT Service Code (Cont.)
2. Check the CRBT service scheme on the HLR. 3. The HLR supports multiple CRBT schemes. When the CRBT service of the subscriber cannot be triggered, firstly check the CRBT scheme on the current network, and then check the data configuration of the HLR. The parameters related to the CRBT in the LST MAPSERV command are as follows:
ISD: The service code set by this parameter is delivered only in the subscriber data insertion flow. Generally, the calling party CRBT uses this scheme. SRI_MSRN: The service code set by this parameter is delivered only when the roaming number is returned. SRI_MSRNCF: The service code set by this parameter is delivered when the roaming number is returned or when the forwarded-to number is returned, but the CRBT must be activated (run the LST DYNSUB command to query the activation state). PLMNSPECSSENE: This parameter is only meaningful for plmn-specificSS-E. In the entire network scheme, it triggers the CRBT service only when the roaming number is returned. When it is set to GMSC, the CRBT is triggered for each SRI response. CRBT_PLMNSS: The service code set by this parameter is delivered when the roaming number is returned. Different from SRI_MSRN, this parameter requires that the private cell to be contained in the SRI message.
4. For the transition network scheme, you need to run the LST SELIST command to check the supporting capability of the GMSC serving the calling party and the CRBT call continuity platform for selection. If the connecting GMSC is not configured, the CRBT triggering may fail.

Possible Causes
The system does not support the USSD service. The USSD service code is not configured. The subscriber is not authorized to operate the USSD service on the MS. The customization of the CAMEL service has caused the fault.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. In the MML Command - GU-HLR-FE window, run the DSP LICENSE command to check whether USSD Function is 1. On the PGW Web LMT, run the LST MAPCONF command to check whether USSDSUPP is set to TRUE.

Possible Cause
The GT routing data of subscribers migrated to the new site is not configured on the FE. Global MAP service data is not configured. The system has started flow control.
Troubleshooting Steps
Create a message tracing task for the C and D interfaces. If a U_ABORT message is traced, an timeout error has occurred in the service. Check data configuration on the FE of the HLR.
Page32
Determine whether subscribers whose calls are lost are defined in the same HLR. If yes, determine whether the HLR cutover or upgrade is in process. If no such operations are being performed, check the signaling data configuration on the HLR for communication between the HLR and other NEs. Check the alarms and determine whether the system has started flow control.
