1 About the Access 1000/4000 Gateway
1.1 Overview
The Access 1000/4000 Gateway has serial and Ethernet ports to provide a number of serial/IP
conversions. It comes with a number of standard and optional applications that make use of these
interface conversions. An easy to use, intuitive, web-based server is built in, allowing any standard
Internet browser for configuration and monitoring. Context-sensitive help is available.
1.1.1 Serial-TCP Terminal Server
The Terminal Server provides conversion of asynchronous/serial interfaces to TCP/IP sockets. This
allows external TCP applications, or internal applications like the MWI Gateway and CDR Collection
Manager to make a connection to a serial interface.
The Terminal Server comes standard.
1.1.2 HDLC-TCP/UDP Synchronous Server
The Synchronous Server provides conversion of synchronous/HDLC interfaces to TCP/IP sockets.
This allows external TCP or UDP applications, or internal applications like the CDR Collection Manager
to make a connection to a synchronous interface.
It can also act as a bridge to interconnect 2 synchronous interfaces, replacing any leased line or dial-up
modem with an IP network connection.
The Synchronous Server comes standard.
1.1.3 X.25-TCP/IP Gateway
The X.25/TCP Gateway provides conversion of X.25 and TCP/IP for external and internal applications
like the CDR Collection Manager. X.25 logical channels are mapped to TCP/IP sockets using a
comprehensive routing table that allows for full control of call setup and recognition. Several message
encapsulation methods are supported for preservation of messages to suit a variety of applications.
Connections can be made from one X.25 port to another to provide X.25 switching, and X.25 network
replacement can be achieved using XOT (X.25 Over TCP).
1.1.4 SIP/SMDI MWI Gateway
The MWI Gateway provides routing and translation of Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) notifications
from VoIP Unified Messaging Servers and legacy Voice Mail Systems to one or more legacy or VoIP
telephone switches or PBX's.
1.1.5 CDR Collection Manager
The CDR Collection Manager provides collection of Call Detail Records, and other file types, from
legacy X.25 Central Office voice switches and IP-based soft switches.

All microcomputers are sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD). A direct ESD discharge to the
chassis or cables can disrupt unit operation, induce a latent failure condition, or even permanently
damage circuit components. For these reasons, you must use good ESD control procedures that
electrically ground you when making direct physical contact with the unit or cables. The use of
grounding wrist straps and cords is strongly recommended for controlling discharges and preventing
ESD damage.
WARNING:
To prevent damage to port drivers and receivers, you must use proper electrostatic control
precautions when attaching or handling cables.

3 Initial Start-up Procedure
The first step in the initial setup is to configure the IP address and network parameters. This may be
accomplished through the serial console port, or using a web browser from a PC on a reachable
Ethernet network.
Obtain the following information from your network administrator:
● IP address to be assigned to the Access Gateway
● subnet mask
● address of the default gateway
● Domain Name Server (DNS)
3.1 Configuring IP from the Ethernet port
The IP address can be configured using a standard Internet browser from a PC. The default IP address
of the Access Gateway is 10.1.1.240. The procedure is:
1) Configure a PC's Ethernet/LAN to have an IP Address on the same subnet, for example:
10.1.1.200, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
2) Connect an Ethernet patch cable between the PC and the unit, or connect to a common hub.
3) Connect power cord to the Access Gateway unit
4) Open an Internet browser on the PC to navigate to http://10.1.1.240.
5) Login with username “admin” and password “admin”.
6) Select the Ethernet option from the menu in the left pane of the main screen.
7) Configure the desired IP address and network parameters as outlined in the Ethernet section.
8) Remove the cable from the PC and connect to the network.
9) Restore the PC's previous IP settings.
3.2 Configuring Default IP from the Console port
WAN port 0 on the Access 1000 and WAN port 1 on the Access 4000 also serve as console ports
during boot-up after power is applied. There is a 10 second window that interrupts the boot process to
allow configuration using the console port.
To configure default IP network values in the bootup environment:
1) Connect the Console Cable (DB25M-DB9F) between a PC COM port and the console port of the
Access Gateway. A USB serial adapter will be required on the PC if it does not have a serial COM
port.
2) Start a terminal emulator like putty or HyperTerminal on the PC and select the correct COM port.
3) Set the COM port for: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
4) Connect power cord to apply power to the Access Gateway unit. Startup messages will appear
followed by the message: “Autoboot in 10 seconds (Enter password to stop)…”
5) Before the 10 second timer expires, type the password “foad”. (The “A4K:>” prompt will be
displayed). Retype from the beginning if an error is made.

6) Enter the following commands replacing the example values with those provided by your network
administrator:
set ipaddr 10.1.1.240
set netmask 255.255.255.0
set gatewayip 10.1.1.1
7) (optional) Enter a new host name:
set hostname NEWNAME
8) Enter the following commands to save the changes and restart the system.
save
boot
3.3 Emergency IP Address Recovery
The u-boot console may be used to recover a forgotten IP address. While in the U-Boot console mode, the
default IP address and other parameters may be displayed:
print ipaddr
print netmask
print gatewayip
If the default values are not in current effect, they may override the system-defined values temporarily by setting
new default values (if desired) and entering the U-Boot commands:
set ipaddr 10.1.1.240
set netmask 255.255.255.0
set gatewayip 10.1.1.1
set runlevel 2
save
boot
When the system starts up, it will be using the default IP address information, and should be reachable on that
network. Browse into the web interface and access the Ethernet page to view the “forgotten” values. Restart the
system to get the U-Boot console, and reset run level:
set runlevel
save
boot
The system will restart with the system-defined values.
