Cancel Location |
Select to remove the subscriber from the HLR using the location cancellation procedure defined in sections 3.6.1.3 and 4.2 in 3GPP TS 23.012. This causes a failure in the next attempt (by the modem in the device) to send data, which typically causes the device firmware to restart the connection. Restarting the connection can be useful if you suspect the firmware or modem are in an unusual state, or to terminate data sessions. For example, if an operator API gateway does not support RADIUS packet of disconnect (PoD) messages, the cancel location procedure can terminate the data session between the device and the operator API gateway. |
