Methods, apparatus and computer program products for configuring a network interface of a wireless mobile data base station

摘要

A wireless base station of a wireless mobile data communications system, such as a Mobile Data Base Station (MDBS) of a Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) system, is configured. A port number and/or an internet address to be assigned to the wireless base station is determined. A datagram including the assigned port number and/or internet address is transmitted from a controller of the wireless mobile data communications system to the wireless base station via a backbone network of the wireless mobile data communications system. Responsive to receipt of the datagram at the wireless base station, the wireless base station is configured to accept datagrams addressed to the assigned port number and/or internet address. Related apparatus and computer program products are also described.
