Common node settings – Node params from Network Settings

Description

The “Node params” feature has been implemented with the main scope to allow users to globally set common node parameters for each equipment type. This can be done from the new “Node params” step of Network settings wizard. Existing node parameters previously set as extra params are automatically moved to the “Node params” step at update. The user still has the option to set parameters individually for each equipment.

The “Node params” feature allows to set parameters for the following equipment types: YateHSS/HLR; YateUDM and YateSMSC.

The “Node params” step has been added in Network settings wizard, between APNs and Extra params steps. This option is available only in Edit Network settings wizard.
