Chapter 1 – Introduction and Product

Descript ion

This User Guide describes the MultiModem® rCell Intelligent Wireless Router with an Ethernet 2 interface. The MultiModem rCell
Router configured for one of three connectivity modes: always-on, wake-up on ring, or dial-on demand. The always-on network
connection automatically establishes a wireless data connection and allows for around the clock surveillance, monitoring or
realtime data acquisition of any remote Ethernet device such as a Web camera. If the data link is dropped in the event of poor
reception or a complete loss of service, it will automatically re-establish the data link. The wake-up on ring configuration allows
the router to “wake up” and initiate a connection when it detects an incoming ring. For security reasons, you can setup the
router to wake up based on a particular caller ID number. This configuration is ideal for reducing the costs associated with the
modem being online and available 24/7. When configured for dial-on demand, the router only accesses the Internet when data
is present. This configuration is ideal for sharing Internet access among networked PCs.

The MultiModem rCell routers are available in two models:

PPP

PPP > PPP Configuration

NAT Configuration

NAT Enable/disable NAT (Network Address Translation). The default is Enable.

If NAT is enabled:

● Your LAN can use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for

external traffic. In other words, the router with NAT does the simple IP routing between the LAN
interface and the WAN interface. NAT hides the LAN address behind a single IP address won
the wireless side.

● Your internal addresses are shielded from the public Internet.

If NAT is disabled:

● The router functions without performing any address translation on the packets passing through

it.

● Masquerading of packets originating from the LAN is disabled.

● Address translation of packets arriving from the WAN is also disabled.

● Any DNAT Configuration previously setup in the DNAT Configuration screen is disabled. This

prevents the user from adding any DNAT rules, which if allowed would defeat the purpose of
enabling Routing.

Note: For routing to take effect, the configuration must be saved after enabling it. It won’t be effective

on the fly at runtime.

GRE Tunnels

GRE tunneling and GRE routing together are referred to Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE). GRE Routing is an integral
part of GRE tunneling. First, the GRE Tunnels are created using the GRE Tunnel Configuration. Then the routes for the
remote networks that are to be routed through a tunnel need to be specified in the GRE Routes Configuration. Thus, all the
traffic destined to remote networks associated to a tunnel will get routed through that tunnel.

GRE Tunnels > GRE Tunnels

Tunneling allows the use of a public network to convey data on behalf of two remote private networks. It is also a way to
transform data frames to allow them to pass networks with incompatible address spaces or even incompatible protocols. If you
want to read more about how this works, see the online Help.

GRE Tunnel Configuration

Tunnel Name: Enter a name for the new tunnel.
Local IP: Select the local interface on which the tunnel is being created. Eventually, the packets destined for

this tunnel will be routed through it.

Note: When adding a tunnel, use only one of the following: Remote IP or FQDN.

Remote IP: Select the Remote IP address that marks the other end point of the tunnel (this is the one to which

the routed packets will be received).

Appendix B – W ireless Antenna

The Antenna

The antenna sub-system and integration in the application is a major issue: Choice of antenna (type, length, performances,
thermal resistance, etc.) These elements could affect GSM performances such as sensitivity and emitted power.

PTCRB Requirements Note:

There cannot be any alteration to the authorized antenna system. The antenna system must be the same type with

similar in-band and out-of-band radiation patterns and maintain the same specifications.

FCC Requirements Note:

The antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 3.0 dBi at 1900 MHz / 1.6 dBi at 850 MHz for mobile
operating configurations and 7.0 dBi at 1900 MHz / 2.3 dBi at 850 MHz for fixed mounted operations, as defined in

2.1091 and 1.1307 of the rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Appendix D – WEEE Statement

Appendix D – Waste E lectrical and

Electronic Equipment

July, 2005

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to take-back
electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design
phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products imported into the EU as of August 13, 2005. EU-based
manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection
points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.

Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be disposed of with
other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your
waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that
protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for
recycling, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product.
