MultiModem rCell Intelligent Wireless Router

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Quick Start Guide 3

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to cover safety concepts, the basic connections,

and general setup of the MultiModem rCell Intelligent Wireless Router. For

detailed information refer to the User Guide which is available on your

MultiModem CD accompanying your router product and on the Multi-Tech

Web site.

Check Multi-Tech’s Web site for current versions of our product

documentation.

Safety

Ethernet Ports Caution

The Ethernet ports are not designed to be connected to a Public

Telecommunication Network or used outside the building.

Handling Precautions

All devices must be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage

due to the accumulation of static charge. Although input protection

circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of

this static build up, proper precautions should be taken to avoid

exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling and mounting.

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, nor intended to

be, used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the

user.

Vehicle Safety

●Do not use your Wireless MultiModem while driving, unless equipped

with a correctly installed vehicle kit allowing ‘Hands-Free’ Operation.

●Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones in

vehicles. Road safety always comes first.

●If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, the operation of Wireless

MultiModem telephone could interfere with the correct functioning of

vehicle electronics. To avoid such problems, be sure that qualified

MultiModem rCell Intelligent Wireless Router

4Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Quick Start Guide

personnel have performed the installation. Verification of the

protection of vehicle electronics should be part of the installation.

●The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on

public roads is not permitted.

Internal Lithium Battery

●A lithium battery located within product provides backup power for

the timekeeping capability. The battery has an estimated life

expectancy of ten years.

●When the battery starts to weaken, the date and time may be

incorrect. If the battery fails, the board must be sent back to Multi-

Tech Systems for battery replacement.

●Lithium cells and batteries are subject to the Provisions for

International Transportation. Multi-tech Systems Inc. confirms that

the Lithium batteries used in the Multi-Tech product(s) referenced in

this manual comply with Special Provision 188 of the UN Model

Regulations, Special Provision A45 of the ICAO-TI/IATA-DGR

(Air), Special Provision 310 of the IMDG Code, and Special

Provision 188 of the ADR and RID (Road and Rail Europe).

Warning! There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly

replaced!

Insert SIM Card, If required

The MultiModem requires the power supply connection to begin operation.

It also requires a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) to operate on a GSM

network. To install the SIM, do the following:

1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the two SIM door screws

and remove the SIM door.

Note: When changing a SIM, ensure that power is removed from the

unit.

2. Insert the SIM card into the card holder. The above graphic illustrates

the correct SIM card orientation.

3. Verify that the SIM card fits into the holder properly and then replace

the cover.

Connect the Antenna and Power

MTCBA-XX-EN2

MTCBA-XX-EN2-GP

1. Connect a suitable antenna to the SMA connector (see antenna

specifications in Appendix B of the User Guide).

Optional: If you have the GPS version, connect a suitable GPS

antenna to the GPS connector. Ensure that when you position the

GPS antenna, that it can see the sky to locate the satellites for

accurate values.

6Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Quick Start Guide

2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to the

ETHERNET connector on the back of the router and the other end to

your PC either directly or via a switch or hub.

3. If you are connecting a customer’s legacy device to the router,

connect the serial, RS232 cable from the customer’s device to the

RS232 connector on the back of the router.

4. Depending on the power source, connect either the power supply

module with the appropriate blade or the optional DC power cable.

If you are using the power supply module, remove the protective

shipping cover. Attach the appropriate interchangeable blade piece

to the power supply module.

5. Screw-on the power lead from the power supply module into the

power connection on the router. Now, plug the power supply into

your power source.

For Optional Direct DC Power

●Screw-on the DC power cable into the power connector on the router.

●Then attach the two wires at the other end of the DC power cable to a

DC fuse/terminal block in which you are mounting the MultiRouter.

●Connect the red wire to the "+" (positive) terminal and the black wire to

the "–" (negative) terminal. Be sure the GND connection is correct.

Warning: Over-voltage protection is provided on the device. To ensure

complete protection, you may want to add additional filtering to the DC

input.

Note: For an application involving a battery, you can use permanent “+”

or key-switched “+” source. Connect the power supply to its source

(for example, in a mobile situation, to the vehicle’s DC fuse/terminal

block).

memory (flash).

AT+CFUN=0 (issue this command)

+WIND:10 (Wait for this response from the modem)

Router is now ready to be powered off or reset.

If you do not see the +WIND:10 response, you may need to activate

the unsolicited message by using the command

registration and roaming status, you can issue commands to the router to

verify network connectivity.
