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.
