Hello,

I needed to model MSS and GCS for a NMS in my company. I modelled MSS but I can't find enough information about GCS. The biggest hint I've found so far is "The GCS is a functionality in the MSS. The HW and SW are same as the standalone MSS, but pure GCS does not have VLRUs and BSUs and thus it does not include mobility management functionality" I need to model this even if it's the same hardware. Does anyone know if it really is the same model just without VLRU or BSU compability or is there anything else? Also MSS uses 3 cabinet in 14th version which are 14AC, 14BC, 14CC. Is there a GCS for all these cabinets?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it is the same hardware and the same software.
the BHCA capacity is somehow increasing due to missing VLR functionality.
You can even add VLRU and BSU to make it MSS again later.
