Chapter 1 – Product Description and Specifications

Chapter 1 – Introduction and Product

Description

This User Guide describes the MultiModem® rCell, model MTCBA-H-EN2, 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 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 will automatically re-establish the data link. The wakeup 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.

MultiModem MTCBA-H-EN2 (HSDPA)

The MultiModem MTCBA-H-EN2 wireless router delivers some of the fastest cellular data speeds by utilizing HSDPA technology. It allows users to connect to the Internet and send and receive data faster than possible with an ordinary

GSM/GPRS network making it ideal for highly data-intensive applications. Based on industry-standard open interfaces, the

MultiModem MTCBA-H-EN2 wireless router is equipped with quad-band, high-speed RS232 technology, which means it can be used worldwide on all existing GSM networks.

AT Commands: The MultiModem MTCBA-H-EN2 wireless router is configured using the HSDPA AT

Commands. These commands are documented in the Reference Guide for the MultiModem Wireless

HSDPA Router, document number S000453x.

The APN (Access Point Name) is assigned by your HSDPA wireless service provider, but you may have to ask for it. An access point is an IP network to which a MultiModem rCell Router connects. The Web Management software asks for the APN on the Wizard Setup screen and the PPP screen.

Important Note About Provider Fees

Your provider will charge you for your data usage. Please check with your provider to make sure you are aware of the charges.

If you plan to use the router for large amounts of data transfers, Multi-Tech recommends an unlimited data plan with your account. Multi-Tech will not be responsible for any charges relating to your cellular bill.

Note: Additional features and functions can be set up using the complete Web Management software program, described in Chapter 3.

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 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.

Note:

For routing to take effect, the configuration must be saved after enabling it. It won’t be effective on the fly at runtime.



PPP General

PPP

Dial-on-Demand:

Idle Time Out:

Enable/disable PPP. The default is Disable. When enabled, the unit functions as a router. PPP must be disabled to access the integrated cellular modem directly using telnet port 5000. If

PPP is enabled, you cannot access the integrated cellular modem.

Enable/disable Dial-on-Demand. The default is Disable. If you disable it, the router will always stay connected unless the Idle Time Out expires. When Dial-on-Demand is enabled, use the

‘Wakeup on Call’ settings under the PPP menu to configure the settings for re-establishment of the connection.

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.

Authentication

Authentication Type:

Set the authentication protocol type that will negotiate with the remote peer: pap/chap/papchap. Default is pap-chap.

Username:

Password:

Enter the Username with which the remote peer will authenticate. You can leave this field blank, if desired. Username is limited to 60 characters.

String 2 for the LS LED to display properly.



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

Time Delay: ring or caller ID is detected. This will trigger the router to reconnect after the ‘Time Delay’ expires.

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 seconds.

Dial-on-Demand from LAN: The default is disable. When enabled, the router will reconnect when it sees IP traffic on the LAN is needed to route. If this feature is disabled, Dial-on-Demand initiates a PPP connection to

Init Strings: the Internet only from the WAN, not from the LAN.

Configure the router initialization strings. These init strings need to be specific to the integrated cellular modem. Some initialization may be required for the integrated cellular modem to accept

SMS for ‘Wakeup on Call’. Init-num can range from 1-5. The default is NULL. Refer to the following examples.

61BPacket Filters > DNAT Configuration

Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT) is a process that allows the placing of servers within the protected network and making them available for a certain service to the outside world. The DNAT process running on the router translates the destination address of incoming packets to the address of the real network server on the LAN. The packets are then forwarded.

You can Delete or Edit a DNAT rule after it has been defined and added by using the table at the bottom of the screen.

I mportant Note: When adding rules, at least one host must be defined in the Network Configuration section.

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.

64BGRE 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.

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 four tunnels can be active at any given time. Beyond four 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:

1. Manual Keying where the authentication and encryption keys are provided manually on both sides of the connection.

2.

Auto Keying using IKEv2 Protocol where the authentication and encryption keys are generated on either side of the connection and exchanged by different methods.

Appendix D – WEEE Statement

Appendix D – Waste Electrical 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.
