PREFACE

This is one of four manuals for the EDACS

 Data Gateway (EDG).  It contains instructions for installing and

maintaining an EDG.  Network planning and the boot sequence are also documented in this manual.  Other
relevant documents are:

EDG Technical Description (LBI-38961):

This manual contains a detailed description of the EDG capabilities, interfaces, and hardware.

EDG Configuration Reference Manual (LBI-38964):

This manual contains the information required to configure the IP Version of the EDG.

EDG User's Reference Manual (LBI-38963):

This manual contains information for using the EDG command shell.  This command shell services the
Diagnostic Terminal and Telnet logins.

Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume I, by Douglas E. Comer:

This is an excellent (but unofficial) source of information about Internet Protocol.

EDACS CommServ Programmers Guide (LBI-38835):

This manual documents the CommServ product.  CommServ provides an application program interface
that simplifies Radio Data Terminal (RDT) programming by providing an RDI Data Link Layer.  It is for
use with MS-DOS (trademark of Microsoft Corporation) and PC-DOS.

Landline Data Release Notes (SRN1036-1):

This manual documents the installation procedure for the IMC and Sites.

Mobile Data Terminal Interface, Hardware and Protocol, Version 1.92

This manual documents the RDI Interface.  Contact Ericsson-GE for more information.
