document. Details about Gateway hardware specifications and technical information are available in the
Hardware Guide
section of this document.
And this Gateway design can be licensed to third party hardware and software developers who want to
create custom expansion cards and software images for specific needs. For information on the
developer program, contact USRobotics Customer Support.
Introducing the USR Universe
The USR Universe is the configuration and deployment mechanism for the Gateway. From the factory,
the Gateway base units have no customization.
On
power-up
, the Gateway connects to the USR Universe over the wired Ethernet port and
automatically downloads the appropriate update. If the Ethernet interface is unavailable, then the
Gateway uses the
WWAN interface
to download the updates.
The Gateway can download the following files from the USR Universe:
Gateway firmware: System firmware provided by USRobotics.
Gateway radio firmware image: software that updates changes to wireless operator firmware
Gateway config file: configuration settings that can be applied to one or more Gateways
Gateway application: customized software that provides additional functionality to the device or
controls third-party expansion cards.
