Mobile Number Portability in India

What is Mobile Number Portability (MNP) ?

Mobile Number Portability enables the mobile phone end-user to retain their telephone number without compromising on quality, reliability and operational convenience when they change their service provider in a service area. It requires the originating network to determine the correct destination for a given number and forward the call to the destination network.

Why port? What are the benefits of Mobile Number Portability?

Benefits to subscribers:

  • Better quality & bouquet of value-added services offered by any operator
  • Competitive tariff package will be offered by all providers
  • Survival of the most competent and promising providers in the market

Benefits to mobile network providers and the mobile industry:

  • Updated technology and latest sophistication prevent stagnation of resource upgradation
  • Healthy competition between providers

What are the requirements for Mobile Number Portability?

An effective MNP system requires a database having information of the networks and associated imported or exported numbers. In India, a central as well as regional databases are being planned. Most countries have a centralized database service managed by a neutral third party. A centralized clearing house for electronically processing the importing / exporting requests also needs to be setup, to minimize the time to port (i.e. to transfer the numbers from one network to another).

Who manages the Ported Number Database?

The number database is managed by a neutral third party. The cost of the database is to be borne by each operator depending on the strength of their subscribers i.e. depending on their market share.

In India, Telcordia Technologies, formerly Bell Communications Research, Inc. has been granted a license by DoT to manage the portability clearing house for Zone 2 (Kolkata, Tamil Nadu including Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, North East, and Orissa).

What are the hurdles / issues faced by the MNP system?

  • Handset portability from GSM to CDMA type of networks
  • Constant updation of the database to keep it consistent
  • SMS routing (i. e. forwarding SMS's between networks)
  • routing of Long Distance (National / International) calls
  • Altering the National Numbering Plan (which maintains the number format and series allocation of phone numbers for different services)
  • Cooperation of all stakeholders and mobile phone service providers
  • Dispute Resolution Machinery and Guidelines for mobile service providers
  • Coordinated billing for multi-mode facilities
  • Porting Fees and guidelines

When will MNP be implemented in India?

MNP was earlier to be implemented as below:

  • Phase 1 - 31-Dec-2009: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and circle A service areas (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu)
  • Phase 2 - 20-Mar-2010: Other Parts of India.

12-May-2010:

MNP will be implemented from 30-Jun-2010 across India, for all circles, zones and operators. The decision was taken by the Department of Telecomm., since most of the providers had not upgraded their network and methods of working, for enabling ease of Number Portability. Testing phase is to be completed by 15-May-2010, by which all providers are to test the porting of dummy numbers and notify the DoT of their success.

Latest Update:

Mobile Number Portability to be implemented from 31-Oct-2010, since most of the Service Providers are still in the testing phase and some have not even bought the necessary equipment.

What is the procedure for porting numbers?

  • The end-user must submit a letter to the existing service provider, stating that he/she wishes to transfer their number to a new mobile service operator.
  • Within 5 days there will be a subscriber verification and identification by the existing service provider.
  • Within 2 days of verification, the application is to be sent to the clearing house to import/export the number.
  • The service providers must inform the customer about the exact date and time the porting will take place.

What are the regulations, terms and conditions for porting numbers?

  • The mobile number should have been with the current service provider for a term of 90 days or more. This prevents frequent change of provider and reduces the load on the porting database.
  • A non-refundable fee, not exceeding Rs. 19 is to be paid to the gaining provider for every porting transaction. This is due to the fact that the gaining provider has to complete more formalities than if they get a new subscription.
  • The porting request may be cancelled within 24-hours of making the application, but the porting fee will be non-refundable.
  • The portability of the number will be restricted only to a given license service area / circle within a zone. You will not be allowed to shift your number to a provider in another zone/region.
  • Post-paid customers can transfer their numbers only if they have cleared all outstanding payments.
  • Pre-paid customers who transfer their numbers to a different provider, will forfeit the remaining pre-paid balance in their account, just as if they were terminating their account.
  • The gaining provider, is not bound to pay any deposits or outstandings which are due from the old provider.

What is the Statute / Law governing Mobile Number Portability?

The Statute governing mobile number portability is called the Telecommunication Mobile Number Portability Per Port Transaction Charge and Dipping Charge Regulations, 2009. It is to come into effect on 31-Dec-2009, although the date for actual porting has been delayed to March 2010.

Cloud Computing

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is basically Web-based / Internet facilitated technology. The entire application pool / softwares / resources run off the internet, which a user can access remotely.

It is just like ordering food from a restaurant. You do not have to bother about the cooking / dishes / heating / re-heating etc. You only have to enjoy the food when it arrives.

Why Cloud Computing?
It is called cloud computing, because everything is internet based and works off the internet, it is not dependant on a certain computer or server or service. It is like a huge pool of information, which is used for multiple mammoth services.

It is called "Cloud" computing because in Network diagrams, we use the cloud as a symbol for the Internet.

Benefits:

  • Cloud computing is seen as a way to break the barriers of space / resources and limited capacity of computers, by putting everything on the cloud i.e. the internet. This reduces cost and allows scalability in seconds.
  • Instead of running your applications yourself, they run on a shared data center. When you use any application that runs in the cloud, you just log in, customize it, and start using it. That’s the power of cloud computing.
  • CRM, HR, accounting etc. Cloud-based apps can be up and running in a few days
  • No need to buy servers and software. When your apps run in the cloud, you don’t buy anything. It’s all rolled up into a predictable monthly subscription, so you only pay for what you actually use. Perfect for the Indian Econo-Budgets.
  • It also does away with multiple IT Professionals / Support staff, since there is no maintenance required from the users end.


Examples:
Skype / Windows Live / Zoho (which mirakle couriers uses as an ERP) / SalesForce

Ping

The Ping utility is essentially a system administrator's tool that is used to see if a computer is operating and also to see if network connections are intact. Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo function.

What does ping symbolise?

Ping maybe considered an acronym for the words 'Packet INternet Groper'.

It may have also been adopted from a verb that the US Navy used to describe what its submarines do when looking for objects under the sea. Their subs send out sonar waves and then wait for a return wave when it bounces off something, such as another sub, whale, ocean floor etc. This, in turn, was adopted from bats and dolphins, who navigate in roughly the same way. This is what a system administrator does when Ping is used. As such, Ping has also evolved into a verb in the computer industry, and it is used in somewhat the same manner of the Navy.

How ping works

A small packet is sent through the network to a particular IP address.

This packet contains 64 bytes - 56 data bytes and 8 bytes of protocol reader information.

The computer that sent the packet then waits (or 'listens') for a return packet. If the connections are good and the target computer is up, a good return packet will be received.

PING can also tell the user the number of hops that lie between two computers and the amount of time it takes for a packet to make the complete trip. Additionaly, an administrator can use Ping to test out name resolution. If the packet bounces back when sent to the IP address but not when sent to the name, then the system is having a problem matching the name to the IP address.
The time it takes for the packet to get to the target computer and back again is known as the round trip time. If this takes an extended period of time, it is indicative that something may be wrong.

How to configure WEP/WPA Security on a linksys wireless router / access point

Step 1: Login

  • Open your Internet browser and enter the following in the address bar: http://your_routers_ip.

By default, the address is 192.168.1.1.

  • Enter the user ID and password for your router. The default password is admin.

Step 2: Limiting the no. of users connecting through DHCP

  • You should now see the Basic Setup Web page display in your browser. Scroll down the page until you see Maximum Number of DHCP Users.
  • This option will assign a specific number of IP address to computers. If more than this number of computers tries to connect to your router, they will not be able to.
  • Count the number of computers that will connect to the router, and type it into the Maximum Number of DHCP Users textbox.
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the Web page and click Save Settings. Once the settings have been saved, click Continue to return to the Web page.

Step 3: Change your Admin Password.

  • At the top of the Web page, click the Administration option in the menu bar.
  • On the Management Web page, you should see two password text boxes. This is where you should * change your administrative password. Type in a new secure password into both boxes.
  • Once you have typed in your password, click Save Settings at the bottom of the Web page.
  • You may be prompted to login again, if you are then enter you new password in the password field.
  • Navigate back to the Management Web page by clicking the Administrative option in the menu.

Step 4: Encrypting Traffic

We will now encrypt your connection to your router setup from your computer.

  • Click the HTTPS checkbox next to the Access Server option.
  • Once again, click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the Web page.
  • You won’t get the settings saved page again because the URL in the address bar is not longer correct. Since you have changed your connection to HTTPS, it you need to specify that in the address when you connect to the router setup.
  • In your browser, change the address to: https://192.168.1.1. If you get a security error, ignore the error and continue to the Web page.
  • Login with your password and then click the Wireless menu option.

Step 5: Specify an SSID

  • Beside the Wireless Network Name (SSID) option, type in a name for you network connection.
  • Click the Save Settings button and the Continue button to return to the Basic Wireless Settings page.

In order for DHCP to work when WEP is enabled, the SSID Broadcast setting must be set to "enabled".

Step 6: Assigning WPA

  • Click the Wireless Security sub-menu option at the top of the page. This is where we will provide the most important security setting.
  • Next to Security Mode, select WPA – Personal from the drop-down list. If you have trouble connecting to your wireless connection, you can try selecting WEP, but your connection will be much less secure.
  • Next to WPA Algorithms, select AES. Once again if you have trouble connecting to your wireless router, select TKIP.
  • Specify a long WPA Shared Key with a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and punctuation. The longer the better.
  • Make sure you write down this key somewhere, either on a piece of paper or in a text document on your computer. You will need this information when you connect to your wireless network.
  • Click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the Web page, and then the Continue button.
  • Now you are all done securing your wireless router and network.

After Securing how do you connect to the network?

  • Connect to your network, and enter your WPA Shared Key exactly as you specified it.

Why WPA and not WEP?

The previous standard called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was easy to crack within about 30 seconds. The new Wi-fi Protected Access (WPA) is more secure and should be enabled. You must also choose a passphrase that will be needed for each computer to connect to your router. Choose a passphase that is long, hard to guess, but easy to remember. Write it down somewhere so you don't forget it.

How to configure a linksys wireless router / access point

How to configure a linksys WAP54G (access point) This device offers 4 modes of configuration. But you have to be careful because we cannot just set this access point into any mode without checking first for its compatibility. I will show you how to configure the device manually. Before the steps, here are the four ways this device is capable of functioning.

First as a plain Access Point, needs to be connected into a wired device (e.g. router, switch).

Second, as a Repeater, now you have to take note that it only works as a repeater with another linksys wireless router, not any wireless router but specifically WRT54G all versions.

Another configurations, Access Point Client and as a Wireless Bridge, also take note that when set to “AP Client” and “Wireless Bridge” mode, this device will only communicate with another Linksys Access Point (WAP54G), preferably same hardware and firmware version.

Important Note:AP Client, Wireless Repeater, and Bridging modes, make sure the SSID, channel, and Security/WEP key settings are the same for all access points. WPA will not work with an AP Client, Wireless Repeater and Wireless Bridge modes. Device IP is 192.168.1.245.
ACCESS POINT MODE - this mode allows wireless client to connect to the access point and routes traffic between the wireless and wired interface. Use this mode to create a standard wireless Infrastructure network.

By default the AP mode is set to Access Point.

1. Push the reset button while it’s powered up, release the reset button then unplug and replug the power cord.

2. If your router’s IP address is 192.168.1.x, you may just hardwire your access point directly to the router and on your computer launch an Internet Explorer or any browser. On the address bar type in 192.168.1.245, type in admin as password, no username.

3. If you are configuring the device without a router or if the router has a local IP address other than 192.168.1.x, get your computer and, hardwire the access point to it and assign a static IP address, eg. 192.168.1.25. Open a browser an access 192.168.1.245 on your address bar, password is admin.

4. By default in the setup page under Network Setup, Configuration type is set to Static IP, leave it as it is or if your router has different Network settings (ex. 10.10.10.1), you may change the IP address following the range of your existing network (10.10.10.245), default gateway should be the IP address of your router, save settings. Click now on AP MODE subtab, select on Access Point and save the settings.

5. Click now on Wireless and configure your wireless settings (WIRELESS SECURITY subtab and select the desired encryption (WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA2-mixed, WPA-enterprise, RADIUS), these are the security supported on the latest version releases. Take note of your encryption and of course save the settings. Turn off the access point and unplug it from the computer, set the computer’s IP address back to Obtain. Connect the access point to your router/switch regular port and power it up. It’s ready now for testing. Should there be any problem, try to powercycle the whole network (modem-router-access point).

Wireless Repeater - This mode will turn the access point into a wireless repeater. Enter the wireless MAC address of the access point whose signal you would like to repeat.

- Do the same things you did in setting the device to AP but this time on the AP Mode tab, select on WIRELESS REPEATER radio button and make sure you know the WIRELESS MAC ADDRESS of your router or another WAP54G (STATUS tab > Wireless) since you need to input that in the blank field alloted. Save the settings and check if you can connect.

AP Client - this will allow the device to act as a wireless client. You can enter the Wireless MAC address of the Access Point or use the Site Survey button to select the Access Point you want to connect. - Under the AP Mode tab, select AP Client and push on the Site Survey button to check for the wireless network you want to connect and select it, automatically it will copy its Wireless MAC or you can manually type in the wireless mac of your network source.

Wireless Bridge - This is to create a wireless connection between two or more wired networks. This mode connects the physically separated, wired network using multiple access points. Wireless clients will not be able to connect to the access point in this mode. Enter the wireless MAC address of the wireless access points that you would like to bridge together.

- Know the Wireless MAC of your other Access Point and input it on the blank field. And do the same thing to the other WAP, they just change Wireless MAC to ensure that they only recognize each other. No intrusion from another network.

That’s it!! If you are having hard time connecting after configuring everything, make sure you perform a complete power cycle.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Network Address Translation (NAT) Technology -

  • Prevents hackers from seeing and attacking your network address while you are surfing the web.
  • NAT takes a public IP address and translates it into several private IP addresses, so a computer behind a router with NAT technology is difficult to see by outside hackers.
  • translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet.
  • Each computer on your network has a local IP address. When the router gets the data transmission to forward out to the Internet, the router puts a different IP address on the transmission. This way, whoever receives the data transmission doesn't know what the actual IP address of the computer is. The computer is hidden, safe from prying eyes.

Hardware v/s Software Firewall

What is the difference between a hardware security firewall device like a router and a software security firewall like Norton's Internet security?

The term firewall is a blanket term describing security measures that protect a network and are implemented in hardware or software. The hardware firewall in a firewall router protects an entire network. Software firewalls implemented on individual computers protect the computers themselves. If you have both a firewall router and firewalls installed on your computers, the different firewalls will work at the same time; they won't interfere with each other.

5Aug/090

Increasing Wireless Security

Make your own unique SSID (Service Set Identifier)

One of the first things you should do to secure your wireless network is to change the default SSID on your wireless router.

Choose a unique and difficult-to-guess SSID.

Disable the SSID Broadcast. With the SSID Broadcast enabled, someone could obtain your SSID with simple Site Survey software and possibly gain access to your Wireless network. Change the default administrator password and username for your router The default login and passwords for your router’s web tools are simple and well-known, making them easy for hackers to figure out. Important information such as your network address, account and security settings should only be accessed by you. These settings should be changed when you install the router.

Set up security for your wireless network at the push of a button

Some Linksys routers feature SecureEasySetup (SES). SES utilizes push buttons to automatically set up and secure your wireless network. Push the SES button on your router or access point and your wireless client will automatically set up a unique Wireless Network Name or SSID, and secure your network using Wi-Fi Protected Access™ security.

Which type of encryption should I set up -- WEP or WPA?

Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP) is a type of wireless security which does not change. It provides comparable confidentiality to a traditional wired network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a type of wireless security which is dynamic in nature. Hence, WPA is more secure compared to WEP. It is recommended that you enable WPA or the strongest level of encryption that your router supports.

Wireless Networking Tips

Tip 1: Reduce interference on your wireless network

Since wireless networks use radio waves to transmit signals, it's possible that typical household electronics-your microwave, cordless phone or even the baby monitor- can interfere with this signal. Make sure you move your wireless router away from those devices that use the same 2.4GHz frequency range.

Other causes of interference are brick and cinderblock walls, metal doors, metal frames around windows and doors, and metal filing cabinets.

Take these simple steps to reduce wireless interference:

  1. Move the router further away from the interfering device or object.
  2. If there is interference with a phone, you can change the channel of the phone or the Router so they use different channels. If there is still too much interference, you may have to buy a different phone system, operating at either 900MHz or 5GHz.
  3. Place the wireless router in a central location of your house, such as a family room or office.
  4. Arrange the desktop or laptop's wireless antenna so that it points toward the wireless router.
  5. Avoid placing the antenna close to an outside wall (unless outside is where you want to be).
  6. If you want to connect while you're outside, place the router near a window.
  7. Place your Access Point as high as possible. If your network goes through multiple floors, try to place the Access Point on the upper floor.
  8. Put large furniture along the exterior walls of your home.
  9. Minimize mirrors. All metallic surfaces reflect WiFi signals, including the thin metal layer found in most mirrors.
  10. Keep antennas as far away from power cords and other computer wires as possible. Those cords and wires can interfere with radio reception.
  11. Reflectors can also be used to good advantage. Use NetStumbler to tune your placement of the reflector. Compact disks can be used, as can anything that actually looks like a parabolic reflector. The reflector, of course, should be placed behind the receiving device or antenna. Large increases in signal strength can be expected. This trick also works with cellphones.
  12. The addition of a "high gain" (higher dBi) external antenna will often provide increased reception signal and performance. Note that a higher dBi increases the signal horizontally, but decreases vertically. If you need to cover several floors, a higher dBi will probably not help. In this case, you might consider buying a Wi-Fi amplifier, which will boost your signal.
  13. purchasing a WiFi repeater, which is a piece of hardware can be used to boost the signal between the router and your device

Tip 2: Change the channel on your wireless router

If you are experiencing frequent loss of connections on your wireless network, interference from another network using the same channel is the likely cause. If you and a neighbor both have a wireless network set at channel 6, then you may experience interference. Try changing to a different channel, either 1 or 11.

If your wireless signal is intermittent, then you are most likely experiencing 2.4 GHz interference. Before switching channels see Networking Tip #1 for easy ways to reduce or eliminate interference.

Here are some simple steps to take if you want to try switching channels:

  1. First, be sure to have the latest firmware installed for your router.
  2. Follow the instructions for your router model (see your User Guide or follow the link above) and change the channel to 1, 6, or 11. These are the best channels to use for wireless networking.
  3. If you are still experiencing interference try switching the router to one of the other channels (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10) until you find one that makes a good connection.
