Introduction
The Wireless Data Gateway (WDG) is a modem pool
that acts as the termination point for cellular calls and the
origination point for PSTN calls. The WDG consists of
dial modems and a T1 access platform directly connected
to the T1 looparound trunks of a cellular switch.
The WDG dynamically matches the protocol of a
user’s modem to take full advantage of Enhanced
Throughput Cellular (ETC) or MNP 10 to enhance
performance. The WDG eliminates the impact of echo,
clipping, and cell handoff impairments to provide greater
reliability in mobile-to-host communications.
Calls originating from a cellular data user, identified
with a special prefix (such as *DATA), are routed through
the WDG. The WDG allows call information to be passed
through the system unimpaired. When the WDG detects
that the destination has answered with a data tone, the
WDG intercepts the data start-up sequence and inserts
itself into the VF path.
The WDG then establishes two separate data
connections, one with the originator and one with the
destination, each optimized for its particular line
conditions. See Figure 1-1.

Network/Switch Interface
The Network/Switch Interface terminates two digital
T1 or E1 signals from the loop-around connections of a
mobile switch and provides a 4-wire E&M signaling
interface to the modem banks.
The interface is implemented using the ACCULINK
Access Controller (AAC).
• The CSU WAN modules on the AAC terminate the
T1 signals.
• The bus architecture of the AAC routes individual
DS0 slots of the T1 to a 4-wire analog interface on
4-wire E&M interface cards within the AAC.
• Each pair of E&M ports map to a time slot on the
T1 looparound trunks.
• Each 4-wire E&M card provides 8 analog interfaces
in the form of a 50-position connector.
Modem Bank
The modem bank terminates 4-wire E&M signals from
the Network/Switch Interface with paired analog modems
in a carrier. Modems are either idle or active.
When . . .
Then . . .
When two paired
modems are idle
The modems act as an E&M
pass-through circuit.
Transmit signals from one
E&M port on the AAC are
routed to the receive path of
the next E&M port.
When fax calling tone is
detected
The detecting modem
signals its partner not to
answer. The modems are in
fax pass-through mode.
When a modem goes
active (detects answer
tone)
It signals its partner modem
and they begin training.
When both modems are
active
The pass-through function is
disabled and the modems
terminate the signals from
the E&M ports on the AAC.
See Figure 1-3.

System Overview
1-33981-A2-GN31-20 November 1996
The modem bank is implemented using the
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier and 3811Plus
modems.
• A 4-wire E&M Network Interface Module (NIM)
provides the physical termination for eight 4-wire
E&M connections in the form of a 50-position
connector.
• A single 50-position cable connects the eight
analog interfaces on each NIM to a single 4-wire
E&M interface card on the AAC. (This is the only
interconnection supported for the modem 4-wire
interface; it cannot be directly connected to the
network.)
The WDG always attempts to match the modulation
and error correction (EC) protocol of the remote cellular
and PSTN modems. In addition, the WDG rejects calls on
the cellular connection which attempt to connect without
an EC protocol. (Calls on the PSTN, however, are allowed
to connect without an EC protocol.)
Fax calls and voice calls are identified by the WDG
and handled in passthrough mode.
Network Management
Network Management for the carrier is implemented
using an IBM AT-compatible personal computer running
the COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network Management
System (NMS) under the Microsoft Windows
environment.
The AAC is directly controlled by VT100 terminal
emulation software running on a personal computer. The
AAC supports SNMP, and can be placed under the control
of an SNMP manager such as SunNet Manager or
HP OpenView.
Audio Timeout
The WDG can be used for voice calls. However, this
diminishes the number of connections available for data
calls. The Audio Timeout feature helps maintain
availability of the WDG by disconnecting a voice call
after a user-selected number of seconds (001 to 999)
elapses.
The Audio Timeout configuration option is available
from the Shared Diagnostic Control Panel (SDCP). Audio
Timeout follows the CellularRJ11Adpt configuration
option in the Misc group of the Configure branch.

The and keys are used to move the cursor
from one digit to the next, and the F2 key (under the ↑
symbol) is used to increment the digit position.
The default is 000 seconds, meaning that voice calls
are not automatically disconnected.
The Audio Timeout value must allow sufficient time
for the call to complete. A minimum setting of 30 seconds
is recommended. Set the value in both the land-side and
cellular-side modems.
See the COMSPHERE 3800Plus Modems User’s Guide
(3980-A2-GB30) for more information about configuring
the modem using the SDCP.

Mounting Equipment
The following information should be used in
conjunction with the site requirements described in the
ACCULINK Access Controller Reference Guide and the
COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier Installation Manual.
A single WDG system comprises one ACCULINK
Access Controller (AAC) and up to three COMSPHERE
3000 Series Carriers. These require one of the following
for mounting and support:
• One COMSPHERE 72-Inch Equipment Cabinet
(Part Number 4000-B2-200).
• Any standard EIA 19-inch or 23-inch equipment
cabinet with sufficient vertical space for one AAC
(10 inches), up to three COMSPHERE 3000 Series
Carriers (11 inches each), and any power
distribution equipment.
Allow sufficient space in the front and rear of the
cabinet to permit access for installation and maintenance.
Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain temperatures
in the normal operating range for the equipment. See
Appendix A.
Power
The WDG requires –48 Vdc power, and the maximum
configuration uses 519 watts.
Calculate fuse requirements according to the following:
• 2 amps for the AAC
• 3 amps for each fully-loaded carrier
T1 Interface
A fully-configured WDG requires two T1 lines. Either
DSX or CSU operation is supported, controlled by the
type of plug-in card attached to the WAN card in the
AAC. Either D4 or ESF formats are supported, controlled
by software in the AAC.
Note that the RJ48 T1 cables supplied with the AAC
use stranded wire; they should not be used for a wire wrap
connection. Obtain solid-wire cables for a wire wrap
connection.
Call Routing
So that cellular calls can be identified and routed
through the WDG, the cellular user dials a special prefix
(typically *DATA, or *3282) before the destination phone
number.
Configuring the switch for proper routing according to
the prefix is the responsibility of the switch administrator.
Once the routing has been arranged, it can be tested
using a cellular phone, a laptop PC, a PCMCIA modem,
and standard communications software. See Chapter 6.
