Depending on changes performed in a network configuration, one or multiple equipment may need reconfiguration. Below we described which equipment needs reconfiguration based on what configuration was changed.

Network settings changes

If network settings are edited, some changes may require reconfiguration of different equipment or reconfiguration of the entire network.

General step

modifying Network name field will trigger changes for set operator request in YateHSS, YateUDM and HSS Slice members equipment types, so if it is set, equipment will need reconfiguration
modifying MCC / MNC / CC / NDC fields, will require reconfiguration for all network equipment

– YateSTP, YateUSGW, 2Greet, GrandeSTP equipment types will automatically be disabled;

– other equipment types with SS7 support active will need reconfiguration as ss7 support will be disable on them as well: YateHSS, YateSMSC, YateOTA, YateUCN, YateUDM, YateUCN5G, HSS Slice Members.

– YateDRA, GrandeDRA equipment types will be disabled;

– other equipment types with active diameter support will need reconfiguration as diameter support will be disabled on them as well: YateUCN, YateHSS, YateSMSC, 2Greet, YateUDM, YateUCN5G, HSS Slice Members.

– YateNRF equipment types will be disabled;

– other equipment types with 5G support active will need reconfiguration as 5G support will be disabled on them as well: YateUDM, YateUCN5G

enabling / disabling Multidevices support will require reconfiguration for the following equipment types that will require reconfiguration: YateHSS, YateSMSC, YateUCN, UCN Group Members, HSS Slice Members

adding, deleting or editing fields from Extra params / Routing / Scripts step,will require reconfiguration for all equipment of the selected equipment type

Core Network equipment

Changes on STP/DRA/NRF equipment

when adding/deleting an equipment of type YateHSS, all other YateHSS equipment (if present) will also require reconfiguration
adding editing or deleting an equipment without SS7 / Diameter /5G support, only current equipment will need reconfiguration
when editing HSS cluster related fields in a YateHSS (name, IP /Port for cluster support, or IP management if no specific IP for cluster support is set) then all other YateHSS equipment (if present) will also require configuration
by adding ,editing or deleting the equipment with Diameter / 5G support no changes will be generated for YateDRA / YateNRF equipment
adding, deleting of an equipment with SS7 support, will need reconfiguration for current equipment and for YateSTP
editing port in SS7 step from HSS equipment with SS7 support active current equipment and YateSTP linked to it will require reconfiguration

SS7 support equipment

modifying fields values in SS7 step from equipment with SS7 support active, current equipment and YateSTP equipment which is linked to it will require reconfiguration
by disabling or enabling SS7 support from equipment, YateSTP and current equipment that has SS7 support will require reconfiguration

Diameter support equipment

making changes in diameter step from within the quipment wizard with diameter support active, reconfiguration is required for current equipment only
by enabling / disabling diameter support, current equipment will require reconfiguration and this will not affect YateDRA towards which equipment had connection to

5G support equipment

by making changes in 5G step from equipment (UDM / UCN5G) current equipment will require reconfiguration except for NRF equipment
by enabling / disabling 5G support current equipment will require reconfiguration and this will not affect YateNRF towards which equipment had connection to

HSS equipment when cluster support active

by adding / deleting equipment of type HSS when cluster support is active from Network settings, the equipment will require reconfiguraton
by editing IP management and Clustering Configuration fields from first step of an equipment with HSS type, the equipment will require reconfiguration

Core equipment + Grande HSS equipment

adding / editing / deleting core equipment with SS7 / Diameter support active will require reconfiguration of current equipment also for YateSTP
