Issue: 1.5 Page 2 of 34 1: About this document 1 About this document 1.1 Scope This configuration guide explains how to set up and configure a primary link using the GSM (3G) modem on a GW2040 Series router. 1.2 Readership This document is for engineers who have previous experience configuring and managing GW Series routers. 1.3 More information 1.3.1 Assigned interface number Throughout this guide we have used ppp-2 as the assigned interface number. You can configure any PPP interface number for connections. For example, ppp-1 could be substituted for each ppp-2 task covered in this document. 1.3.2 References to GSM (3G) The GW2040 web interface refers to GSM, not 3G, so screen grabs of the web interface will vary. 1.4 Terminology Abbreviation Description APN Access Point Name GSM Global System for Mobile communications HSDPA High-Speed Downlink Packet Access UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System EDGE Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution 1.5 Prerequisites 1.5.1 Inserting the SIM card Ensure the unit is powered off. Hold the SIM card with the chip side facing down and the cut corner top left. Gently push the SIM card into SIM slot 1 until it clicks in. To remove the SIM card, gently push the SIM card. The card will click out. WARNING The SIM card MUST be inserted into the SMG before the unit is powered on. Configuring a GSM (3G) modem on a GW2040 Series Router © Virtual Access Ltd. Issue: 1.5 Page 3 of 34 1: About this document Do not insert or remove the SIM card after the unit has been powered on. 1.5.2 Internet Service Provider details Before you configure the GSM (3G) modem, check with your Internet Service Provider for the following information: Number Username and password PIN PUK, and Access Point Name Configuring a GSM (3G) modem on a GW2040 Series Router © Virtual Access Ltd. Issue: 1.5 Page 4 of 34 2: Introduction 2 Introduction 2.1 3G overview 3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of standards under the International Mobile Telecommunications programme, IMT-2000. 3G technologies enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment. The GW2040 Series router contains a GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) 3G wireless modem. The modem in connection with a SIM card establishes a WAN connection to the Internet. The GW2040 Series router supports a maximum download speed of 7.2 Mbps and a maximum upload speed of 384 kbps. 2.2 Typical uses of the GSM (3G) modem You can use the GSM (3G) modem on the GW2040 Series in two ways. You can create a primary WAN link over the GSM (3G) modem. Figure 1: A primary WAN link over the 3G modem You can use the GSM (3G) modem as a backup WAN link. If the primary interface link fails, the GW2040 Series router uses its GSM (3G) modem to automatically route traffic across the Internet via its alternative interface. This set up is not covered in this document. For further information contact Virtual Access. Configuring a GSM (3G) modem on a GW2040 Series Router © Virtual Access Ltd. Issue: 1.5 Page 5 of 34 2: Introduction Figure 2: A primary link using the 3G modem on the GW2040 series router 2.3 Types of data bearers that the GSM (3G) modem supports Data bearers are frame protocols that transport data streams. The GSM (3G) modem supports GPRS, HSDPA, and CSD. 2.3.1 GPRS GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) uses packet-switched technology to transmit small bursts of data. The maximum data rate available to the 3G modem depends on provisioning by the network operator. 2.3.2 HSDPA HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) uses circuit-switched technology to transmit data at speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. 2.3.3 HSUPA HSUPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol with up link speeds of 5.76Mbps. 2.3.4 UMTS UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is a 3rd generation technology providing higher transfer rates. 2.3.5 Edge Edge uses the same frequencies as GPRS but offers better speeds. It is used when the signal strength for 3G is not sufficient. Configuring a GSM (3G) modem on a GW2040 Series Router © Virtual Access Ltd. Issue: 1.5 Page 6 of 34 3: Configuring the 3 Configuring the GW2040 series The GW2040 Series contains an internal web server that is used to configure the router. Before you can access the internal web server and start the configuration, you must ensure that your PC has the correct networking set up.

Related test challenges and how they can be access network infrastructure is just one of these new test addressed by using Tektronix’ G35 protocol test platform challenges being faced by Network Equipment are then highlighted. Finally, the impact of new services Manufacturers and service providers alike. such as Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) and Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services (MBMS) on the 2.5G/3G core network infrastructure are explained. White Paper I www.tektronix.com/G35 White Paper | 2.5G / 3G Core Network Testing with G35 Introduction The adoption of recently standardized UMTS R5 and R6 features like HSDPA and HSUPA is transforming mobile networks into real broadband communication systems. Declining voice revenues require carriers to seek out alternative sources of revenues by developing new services for their customers. The advent of IEEE 802.16e, commonly known as “Mobile WiMAX”, as alternative mobile broadband technology will reinforce this trend. With this new technology, competing service providers appear on the horizon, thereby enabling more and more end users to adopt and incorporate IP-based services into their daily lives.

    Wireless WAN (WWAN) with AT&T Commercial Connectivity Service (CCS) I. Service Overview II. Service Components, standard and options I. Service Overview Wireless WAN (WWAN) with AT&T Commercial Connectivity Service (CCS) is a network-based option that extends the reach of the corporate network to mobile devices and workers with security enhanced back-end connectivity between the customer’s WAN and the AT&T Mobility network. WWAN is ideal for backup connectivity for bandwidths up to T1.5 and for primary connectivity where wired network connectivity is unavailable. CCS with network-based connectivity to AVPN or IPeFR allows customers to connect directly to AT&T MPLS solutions using customer or 3rd party managed routers. The example here depicts a Cisco router with an integrated 3G HWIC to provide cellular capabilities. A customer with older Cisco routers that cannot accept the 3G HWIC, may choose to go with a dual router configuration, using one of the devices from the WWAN portfolio. This allows the continued use of existing resources and eliminates the need for costly router upgrades. WWAN with CCS works by configuring the routers with a CCS Access Point Name (APN) which segregates traffic from other customer traffic. Traffic is then routed from the Cellular network to the customer AVPN or IPeFR network via a backend connection between the Mobility network and the MPLS networks. Traffic from multiple customer remote locations is aggregated into a single stream based on the APN. Traffic does not traverse the public Internet and IPSec from the remote device is not required as part of the solution.

The carrier will then examine this identifier to determine what type of network connection should be created, for example: what IP addresses should be assigned to the wireless device, what security methods should be used, and how/or if, it should be connected to some private customer network. More specifically, the Access Point Name (APN) identifies an IP Packet Data Network (PDN), that a mobile data user wants to communicate with. In addition to identifying a PDN, an APN may also be used to define the type of service, (e.g. connection to wireless application protocol (WAP) server, multimedia messaging service (MMS)), that is provided by the PDN. APN is used in 3GPP data access networks, e.g. general packet radio service ( GPRS ) , EDGE , 2G , 3G , 4G 5G , evolved packet core (EPC).
