Radio Control Manager Tasks – Disabling Radios Temporary Subscription Disable •
•
•
Dimetra IP allows the Network Manager to temporarily disable (stun) a MS, by sending a message over the air interface. While stunned, the MS will be unable to make or receive calls. Although it will appear to be turned off to the user, it will continue to register with the system, so that the Network Manager can track it. The radio can be re enable by sending the command Temporary Subscription Enable –
Dimetra IP Configuration and Administration R8.2
Permanent Subscription Disable •
•
•
•
Permanent disabling is intended to protect a network from attack from a compromised or faulty MS. Can be used when the MS is known to have been compromised, or has been suspected of compromise for a long time. One way function, there is no equivalent enable. The MS would need to be recovered and reprogrammed before it could be used again.
