Chapter 1 – Introduction and Description
Introduction
This guide describes the MultiModem® rCell intelligent wireless routers with an Ethernet II interface. The
MultiModem rCell Router is configured for one of three connectivity modes: always-on, wake-up on ring, or dialon demand. The always-on network connection automatically establishes a wireless data connection and allows
for around the clock surveillance, monitoring or real time 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
automatically re-establishes 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.
Package Contents
Note: If required, your wireless provider supplies the SIM card.

telecommunication network.
ATTENTION: Ports Ethernet et des ports de commande ne sont pas conçus pour être connecté à un réseau de
télécommunication public.
RF Safety
Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
CAUTION: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and
the body of the user or nearby persons. The modem is not designed for or intended to be used in
portable applications within 20 cm of the user’s body.
Check your local standards regarding safe distances, etc.
● Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is
inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
● Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow restrictions for
any environment where you operate the device.
● Do not place the antenna outdoors.
● Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may
endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction may
lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
● Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle
with fuel.
● Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

ATTENTION: Risque d'explosion si cette batterie est remplacée par un type incorrect. Jetez les batteries
conformément aux instructions.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
● Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
● Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
● Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.

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 on 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.

enabled, use the ‘Wakeup on Call’ settings under the PPP menu to configure the
settings for re-establishment of the connection.
Idle Time Out: Set the amount of idle time that will pass before the router will timeout. The default is
180 seconds. If the time expires, the PPP connection to the Internet will disconnect. Any
IP packets from the LAN side or IP traffic from the wireless side will reset this timer and
prevent the connection from dropping.
Connect Time Out: Set the number of seconds to wait for a connection while in receive mode before timing
out.
Dialing Max Retries: Enter the number of dialing retries allowed. The default is zero, which means an infinite
number is allowed. Range 0 to 100.

setting is set for maximum performance.
PPP > Wakeup-on-Call
The Wakeup-on-Call feature allows the router to wake up and initiate a connection when there is an incoming call
or LAN activity. If you desired some security with this feature, you can set up the router to wake up based on
Caller ID or SMS instead of allowing all incoming calls to wakeup the router. Dial-on-Demand in the IP Setup menu
must be enabled for these settings to have any affect. The Wakeup-on-Call feature will reduce the cost incurred
when a router is online and available 24/7.
Note: When provisioning this feature, you must allow incoming calls, SMS capability, and/or caller-id.
Wakeup-on-Call Configuration
Wakeup on Call: Enable/disable the Wakeup-on-Call feature. The default is Disable. Wakeup-on-Call
occurs when a ring or caller ID is detected. This will trigger the router to reconnect after
the ‘Time Delay’ expires.
Time Delay: Enter the amount of time that you want to pass between the reception of a call and the
initiation of the Wakeup-on-Call connection. A time delay is needed to make sure that
the incoming call has ended before the connection is initiated. The default is 10

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.
Remote IP: Set either Remote IP or FQDN. 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).
or FQDN: Set either Remote IP or FQDN. Enter the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for the
Remote IP, which can be either the IP Address or an FQDN.
Click Add when done. GRE Tunnels display at the bottom of the screen.

IPSec
The IPSec (IP Security) protocol suite, based on modern cryptographic technologies, provides security services like
encryption and authentication at the IP network layer. It secures the whole network traffic providing guaranteed
security for any application using the network. It can be used to create private secured tunnels between two
hosts, two security gateways, or a host and a security gateway. Up to three tunnels can be active at any given
time. Beyond three active tunnels can be saved, but they will not be active.
IPSec provides encryption and authentication services at the IP level of the protocol stack. IPSec can protect any
traffic carried over IP.
IPSec provides the following services:
● Authentication only
● Encryption only
● Authentication and encryption
Transmitting and receiving data securely over an unprotected network involves deciding on the type of IPSec
service, as mentioned above, required for the connection, establishing a secure connection by a key exchange
process and transferring data using that connection.
The key exchange process is done in one of two ways:
● Manual Keying where the authentication and encryption keys are provided manually on both sides of the
connection.
● Auto Keying using IKEv2 Protocol where the authentication and encryption keys are generated on either side
of the connection and exchanged by different methods.
