Configuring 3G Wireless WAN on Modular and Fixed ISRs (HWIC-3G-GSM, HWIC-3G-HSPA, PCEX-3G-HSPA-x)
First Published: March 14, 2007
Revised: April 23, 2012The Cisco 880G series integrated services routers (Cisco ISRs) provide Internet, VPN, voice, data, and backup capability to corporate teleworkers, and remote and small offices of fewer than 20 users. These fixed routers are capable of bridging and multiprotocol routing between LAN and WAN ports, and provide advanced features such as antivirus protection.
The Third Generation (3G) Wireless High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) is a multiband, multiservice WAN card for use over WCDMA Radio Access Networks (RAN).
Both the fixed and the modular 3G routers can be used as the primary WAN connectivity and as a backup for critical applications, and can also be used as the primary WAN connection.

Overview of UMTS/GSM Data Network
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is the most widely deployed cellular network in the world. It is based on the specification from European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). GSM was primarily designed for voice and was circuit switched but due to the popularity of cellular networks and the great demand for data services, GPRS was introduced as a packet switched data overlay over the GSM radio network. The radio and network resources of GPRS are accessed only when data actually needs to be transmitted between the GPRS mobile user and the GPRS network.
GPRS introduced several new network nodes into the GSM architecture for packet switching, they form the Mobile Packet Core. The Mobile Packet Core includes the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and the GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN). The SGSN is the node which in some ways carries out the same function as the Foreign Agent in Mobile IP. It tunnels IP packets towards the GGSN and detunnels packets back from the GGSN. It also carries out mobility managed and billing. The GGSN is the node which carries out the role in GPRS equivalent to the Home Agent in Mobile IP. The GGSN provides the connectivity to the IP network and the SGSN. It is responsible for IP address assignment and is the default router for the connected User Equipment (UE).
Figure 4 shows a GSM network and the network elements it contains.
Figure 4 GSM Network Overview
The Base Tranceiver Station (BTS) and Base Station Controller (BSC) are located at the Cell site and are the common nodes for both voice and data services. They provide the radio or the physical layer connectivity between the mobile user and the mobile network. As the BSC voice and data traffic get segregated, the voice traffic goes to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), while the data traffic is sent to the GGSN. From the GGSN, the data packets either go directly to the internet or they can be backhauled to the customer data center for a VPN connection.
UMTS is a 3G wireless system that delivers high-bandwidth data and voice services to mobile users.UMTS evolved from GSM. UMTS has a new air interface based on Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) and an IP core network based on general-packet radio service (GPRS). The nodes in a UMTS network are almost the same as in a GSM/GPRS network. BTS and BSC have been renamed to Node B and Radio Network Controller (RNC), respectively. UMTS addresses the growing demand of mobile and Internet applications for new capacity in the overcrowded mobile communications sky. The new network increases transmission speed to 2 Mbps per mobile user and establishes a global roaming standard.
High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is a collection of two mobile protocols - High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), that extends and improves the performance of existing WCDMA/UMTS protocols. HSDPA and HSUPA provide increased performance by using improved modulation schemes and by refining the protocols by which 3G modem and base stations communicate. These improvements lead to a better utilization of the existing radio bandwidth provided by WCDMA. HSPA improves the end-user experience by increasing peak data rates of up to 14 Mbit/s in the downlink and 5.76 Mbit/s in the uplink. It also reduces latency and provides up to five times more system capacity in the downlink and up to twice as much system capacity in the uplink, reducing the production cost per bit compared to original WCDMA protocols.
Multiple PDP contexts
The multiple PDP contexts feature is supported on the HWIC-3G-HSPA SKU. The 8790 modem supports two primary PDP contexts.
Each PDP context is the separate data link over common 3G data connection. It has its own IP address and its own data and QoS profile. For each PDP context, the new IOS cellular interface is created once the HWIC is initialized in the system. In addition to that, each cellular interface has a corresponding TTY line. This is similar to HWICs with multiple ports.
The HWIC-3G-HSPA has Cellular 0/<hwic_slot>/0, Cellular 0/<hwic_slot>/1, Cellular 0/<hwic_slot>/2 IOS interfaces. The last number in the triple numbering scheme is the port number.
The multiple cellular interfaces in 3G HWICs behave independently. Any of them can be used to establish data connection. However, only the first interface, e.g. Cellular 0/<hiwc_slot>/0 can be used to exercise the full set of modem AT commands using the Reverse Telnet feature.
The HSPA cellular modem allows you to configure up to16 profiles. The QoS profile configured for an interface is selected by the ATDT*98*#<profile_number># command in the chat script corresponding to a cellular interface. The basic data profile configuration is enhanced with the QoS profile configuration. You must use a different data/QoS profile for each cellular interface.
Note
Overview of SNMP MIBs
Simple Management Network Protocol (SNMP) development and use is centered around the Management Information Base (MIB). An SNMP MIB is an abstract data base, i.e., a conceptual specification for information that a management application may read and modify in a certain form. This does not imply that the information is kept in the managed system in that same form. The SNMP agent translates between the internal data structures and formats of the managed system and the external data structures and formats defined for the MIB.
The SNMP MIB is conceptually a tree structure with conceptual tables. Cisco 3G MIB is discussed in more detail in the next section. Relative to this tree structure, the term MIB is used in two senses. In one sense it is actually a MIB branch, usually containing information for a single aspect of technology, such as a transmission medium or a routing protocol. A MIB used in this sense is more accurately called a MIB module, and is usually defined in a single document. In the other sense a MIB is a collection of such branches. Such a collection might comprise, for example, all the MIB modules implemented by a given agent, or the entire collection of MIB modules defined for SNMP.
A MIB is a tree where the leaves are individual items of data called objects. An object may be, for example, a counter or a protocol status. MIB objects are also sometimes called variables.
MIBs can be classified into three categories:
•
•
•
3G Cellular WAN MIB Architecture
This section describes the MIB definition and implementation support for Cisco's cellular 3G WAN products on the customer premises equipment (CPE) end.
The 3G Cellular WAN MIB supports both CDMA and GSM set of cellular standards and includes the following technologies:
•
•
The 3G cellular MIB uses indexes from the cellular interface and from the modem. You can obtain the interface index using IF-MIBs and the modem index using the ENTITY MIBs.
The 3G MIB definition includes the following major sub-trees:
•
•
•
•
You can use MIB object c3gStandard defined in the c3gWanCommonTable to distinguish between CDMA or GSM and implementing MIB for CDMA or GSM.
Note
At a high level architecture, the Cisco 3G WAN MIBs are divided into two groups and have the following structure:

Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
The ESN number is located directly on the modem label in hexadecimal notation. It can also be retrieved using the Cisco IOS CLI using the show cellular all command.
The sample output below shows the ESN number:
Profile Information====================Electronic Serial Number (ESN) = 0x603C9854Converting Hexadecimal ESN to Decimal Notation
To convert the ESN number from hexadecimal notation to decimal notation, follow this procedure:
Step 1
•
•
Step 2
Hexadecimal 0x60 equals decimal 96.
If decimal value is two digits only, prepend it with a zero to expand it to three digits.
Manufacturer's code is thus 096
Step 3
Hexadecimal 0x3C9854 equals decimal 3971156
If decimal value is less than 8 digits, add enough zeros to make it into an 8 digit number.
Serial number is thus 03971156
Step 4
Manufacturer code: 096
Serial #: 03971156
Decimal ESN: 09603971156

The RJ-45 port on the faceplate of the 3G HWIC provides access to the debug port on the Sierra Wireless modem. By connecting an industry-standard diagnostic tool like Qualcomm CAIT/QXDM or Spirent UDM to this port, you can perform radio-level diagnostics and traffic monitoring on the modem. Use the following test command to turn diagnostics on:
router# test cell-hwic slot/port/wic dm-port on
The cable used to connect the PC/Laptop running the diagnostic tool is the standard Cisco router console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9).

Modem Settings for North America and Carriers Operating on 850 MHz and 1900 MHz Bands
For HWIC-3G-GSM deployments in North America and for carriers operating in the 850MHz and 1900 MHz bands, the following changes to the modem settings are required to prevent long network attach times.
The output of show cellular x/x/x all command shows the following:

Note
Step 2
In the following example, 0/0/0 is a sample interface number. Replace it with the correct interface number based on the slot in which the 3G HWIC is plugged in.
Router(config)#interface cellular 0/0/0Router(config-if)#shutStep 3
Router(config-if)#exitStep 4
Router#start-chat prl 0/0/0Enabling "debug chat" and monitoring the console logs will indicate whether the chat-script executed successfully. For example,
Router#config tRouter(config)#logging enableRouter(config)#exitRouter#debug chatStep 5
Router#conf tRouter(config)#interface cellular 0/0/0Router(config-if)#no shutBelow is a sample output after the debugs are enabled for a successful PRL change after invoking the chat-script:
