A fixed wireless terminal utilizes a method for accessing a wireless local loop (WLL) telephone network to provide both a diagnostic mode of operation and a digital data delivery mode of operation in a system which utilizes a protocol which provides support for only the digital data delivery mode of operation. The method includes setting up a call to a WLL device which includes a mobile station and a communication interface. The mobile station receives call setup signals followed optionally by a predetermined guard time. The communication interface is responsive to a predetermined guard time for switching to a diagnostic mode, and in the absence of the predetermined guard time being transmitted, the communication interface maintains the digital data delivery mode.

Access method and apparatus for a wireless local loop telephone network

A fixed wireless communication system (,) is a hybrid of a fixed wire-line telephone system and a conventional cellular radio system. In particular, this fixed wireless telephone system (,) provides an instant communication link between a user's fixed wireless terminal (,) and a wire line communication system (,), allowing a user to dial another user's number, as well as, receive call progress tones such as the dial tone. This link is established by detecting (,) an off hook signal at the communication device, transmitting (,) a call set up request with a &ldquo;ghost&rdquo; telephone number over the conventional cellular system, and recognizing (,) the &ldquo;ghost&rdquo; telephone number, requesting (,), responsive thereto, an audio link on the wire line communication system (,), and linking (,) the audio link on the wire line communication system with the first communication device over the conventional cellular radio communication system.
