Chapter 1 - System Description
1.1 Introducing the V o ice Gateway
Alvarion's Voice Gateway enables operators and service providers using Alvarion's
Broadband Wireless Access system to provide subscribers with a number of
broadband services transparently. The Voice Gateway enables bundling services
such as telephony (Voice over IP) and high speed Internet to end-users.
IP-telephony services are supported for standard analog phones or G3 fax
machines. The VG-1D1V has a single POTS interface, and the VG-1D2V has two
POTS interfaces. The Voice Gateways are available with either H.323 or SIP
standard, and support both narrow (compressed) and wide band (uncompressed)
speech codecs, silence suppression with comfort noise, line echo cancellation and
regional telephone parameters. Class 5 services such call waiting and 3-party
conference call are also supported.
Up to 3 telephones can be connected in series to each telephone port. Daisy
chaining of Voice Gateways enables the service provider to offer certain end users,
for example small offices, additional telephone numbers.
The Voice Gateway also supports Internet access or any other Ethernet based
services. The unit can be installed behind a router/NAT due to NAT traversal
support allowing signaling as well as voice packets to correctly reach Softswitch or
Gatekeeper for bi-directional call initiations. The Gateway can handle up to 16
simultaneous VLANs, enabling the operator to offer different services to different
end users behind the unit.
These Gateways incorporate the proprietary DRAP (Dynamic Resources Allocation
Protocol) protocol for automatic registration and allocation of resource. DRAP is a
protocol based on IP/UDP between the Gateway and a DRAP server (e.g. the
BreezeMAX base station). The protocol provides an auto-discovery mechanism for
the Gateway, so no specific configuration is required and the Gateway can
automatically locate and register with the DRAP server. The protocol uses a few
simple messages enabling a Voice Gateway to request resources when calls are
made, and the DRAP server to dynamically allocate them.
The Voice Gateways are designed for remote management and supervision using
either the built-in internal web server or SNMP.
The Voice Gateways are easily updated and upgraded as they support remote
software and configuration file download.
For a complete list of new features, refer to Appendix C.

system administrator. The mandatory parameters that must be configured
properly are:
Enable DRAP (in BW Reservation page) only if DRAP is supported by the
wireless system (currently DRAP is supported by BreezeMAX equipment
with SW version 1.5 or higher and BreezeACCESS VL with SW version 4.0).
Uncheck if DRAP is not used.
LAN/WAN VLAN Tagged Port Membership parameters (VLAN page) and
VoIP VLAN parameters (VoIP VLAN Configuration page).
Telephony parameters (per line) in the SIP Configuration/H323 Telephone
page: Telephone Line Enable/Disable, primary SIP Server/H323 Gate
Keeper parameters, User Name and Password (SIP model), Telephone
Number, Telephone domain name (SIP model). Certain H323 Gatekeepers
require configuration of a unique H323 Alias.
WAN IP parameters (WAN Configuration page): For operation as a DHCP
client, check the Obtain WAN Configuration dynamically. For static IP
configuration, check the Specify fixed WAN configuration option and
specify the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
8 Restart the unit from the Restart page.
9 If VLANs are configured for management, you will lose management from the
PC, unless the packets are tagged from the PC towards the Voice Gateway. To
resume management capabilities, return to factory defaults (see
Section 2.2.2).
10 Disconnect the PC used for configuration.
11 Use a straight Ethernet cable to connect the WAN port on the rear panel of the
unit to the Ethernet port of the SU-IDU. The length of the indoor-to-outdoor
Ethernet cable should not exceed 90 meters. The length of the Ethernet cable
connecting the indoor unit to the user's equipment, together with the length of
the Indoor-to-Outdoor cable, should not exceed 100 meters.
12 Connect the data equipment using a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable to the LAN
port. The length of the Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m. Use a straight
cable for connecting to a PC, or a crossed cable for connecting to a
hub/switch).
12 Installation
Installation and Commissioning
13 Use standard telephone cord(s) with RJ-11 termination to connect the
telephony equipment to the unit.
14 Verify proper operation using the LED indicators (see Table 2-2).
15 To verify data connectivity, from the end-user's PC or from a portable PC
connected to the unit, try to connect to the Internet or to ping another unit in
the network.
16 Verify proper telephony operation by establishing a call to another telephone
(for each enabled line).

2.4 Notes on Using the Voice Gateways in Alvarion's Systems
2.4.1 BreezeMAX System (Version 1.5 and higher)
Access the Monitor program of the SU from a PC connected to the LAN port of
the Gateway. The SU's Monitor program uses the fixed IP address
192.168.254.251 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC used for
accessing the Monitor program should be configured to belong to the same
subnet. It is recommended to set the PC's IP address to 192.168.254.250,
which is the default TFTP Server IP address in the Monitor (required for
downloading SW versions and for downloading/uploading configuration files).
Information about the DRAP-enabled Gateways that are connected to each SU
can be viewed in the Base Station's Monitor program (in the Voice/Networking
Gateways option of the Configuration menu for a selected SU). The displayed
information includes Gateway's type, IP Address, and the VLAN ID used for
management.
In general, the same VLAN should be configured in the Voice Gateway for
Management (Default VLAN ID) and Voice (RTP and Signaling) as the Voice
Gateway uses one IP address for two VLANs and the default router in the
backbone cannot operate in this mode.
To support the required quality of service when DRAP is used, provision the
correct VoIP Service. If DRAP is not used, provision an L2 Service with a CG
connection (refer to the BreezeMAX System Manual for details).
2.4.2 BreezeACCESS VL System (Version 3.1)
To access the Monitor program of the SU from a PC connected to the LAN port
of the Gateway, the WAN port must be configured with static IP address that is
in the same subnet as the IP Address of the SU, and subnet mask
255.255.255.0 (the default IP address is 10.0.0.1 with a Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0). The PC used for accessing the Monitor program should be
configured to belong to the same subnet.
Configure the Traffic Prioritization parameters in both the SU and the AU to
ensure high priority for RTP traffic. Refer to the BreezeACCESS VL System
Manual for details.
