Configuration of HLR9820
 Two solutions for HLR9820
Have different in HDU
 SUN solution for HDU
 IBM solution for HDU

SUN Solution
 Only need one cabinet for whole HLR
 Supports 100,000~600,000 subscribers
 Extend Smoothly

IBM Solution
 Two cabinets are

needed for IBM solution.
One for HDU, another
for other equipments
 Support
100,000~2,000,000
subscribers
 Extend Smoothly

Question
 Which part processes SCCP signaling?
 Which part processes MAP signaling?
 Which part provides interface to BOSS?
 Where is subscriber’s data?
 What will happen if SMU failed?
 What will happen if BAM failed?

Answer
 SAU
 HDU
 SMU
 HDU
 Services are OK, but subscriber’s data
can’t be maintained.
 Services are OK, but SAU can’t be
maintained.
