AccessPointNameNI

Validations ASN.1 Parent Types

The logical Access Point Name (APN) used to determine the actual connected access point for a GPRS connection.  This item contains the Network Identifier part of the APN in dot notation.

Derivation:

In the case of GPRS usage, from the GSM item AccessPointNameNI as defined in 3GPP TS 32.015.  Pre GSM Release ’98 from the GSM item AccessPointName (see conditionality note below).

In the case of WLAN usage, actual contents are at the discretion of the Sender.

Conditionality:

Mandatory within group GPRS Destination.

Networks which have not yet upgraded to at least GSM Release ’98 do not yet support the separation of the APN into the Network Identifier and Operator Identifier parts and, therefore, must populate a concatenation of both parts within this item.
