separate Gateways. The PPP session will be dropped and
will have to be reestablished by the modem.
Once on a new Gateway, automatic re-registration will be
performed and a new dynamic IP address will be assigned
to the modem.
Roaming support for “fixed” IP addressing outside the
“home” Gateway service area is not currently supported.
Future design work to allow a DNS server to map IP
addresses to IMSIs is envisioned, which would permit
worldwide fixed IP address roaming.
If service alerts are enabled, a service alert is sent out the
Data/Control port whenever the Service Provider or Gateway
changes. This includes the modem changing from roaming to
home service area and vice versa.
Using Asynchronous Data
The GSP-1620 modem lets the application device (DTE)
connected to the modem originate or receive an asynchronous
data call. It can dial or be dialed by a modem at the host
server, connecting through the Globalstar Satellite
Communications System and the PSTN.
Figure 5-3 shows the various modems (the GSP-1620 DCE
modem, the Gateway IWF modem, and the host modem) and
other components involved in an asynchronous data call.
