Step 9. Connecting to the Internet

Connecting to the Internet Through Your Cellular Provider’s Service

This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting to the Internet, which must be accessed through your cellular provider.

This step includes parts of some of the previous steps; they are repeated here to show you the entire process for connecting to the Internet.

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.

Connecting to the Internet Steps

1.Turn on your PC and login. Make sure your LAN connection is set to Obtain an IP Address Automatically.

2.Connect the Multi-Tech router at the 10/100 port and the PC to a hub or switch using the Ethernet RJ- 45 cable. Turn on the MTCBA-x-EN by plugging in the power cable. Make sure your antenna is connected.

For GPRS and EDGE models, make sure your SIM card is inserted correctly.

3.From the workstation, open the command window by clicking the Start button and selecting Run.

4.Type CMD to open the command window. Click OK.

5.When the command window opens, type IPCONFIG.

6.Check to make sure your LAN connection has received an IP address in the 192.168.2.x subnet from the router. If not, type IPCONFIG /RELEASE, and then type IPCONFIG /RENEW to see if you receive an IP address. Close the command window.

7.Open a Web browser and complete the following:

•In the Address bar type http://192.168.2.1

This opens the Web Management software included with your wireless product.

•Click Go. A Login screen displays.

•Type the following: For Username: admin For Password: admin

8.Once you are logged in, select PPP from the Menu bar. The PPP screen displays. The following settings will be configured into the PPP dialer:

PPP:

Enable

Dial-on-Demand:

Select Disable (select disable to stay connected at all times).

Idle time out:

0 (zero indicates that the connection will not disconnect)

Username:

You can keep the default (ipmodule) unless your wireless account requires

 

your own user name.

Password:

You can keep the default (ipmodule) unless your wireless account requires

 

your own individual password.

Baud Rate:

For CDMA and GPRS models, select 115200.

 

For EDGE models, select 230400.

Dial Number:

For CDMA models, type #777

 

For GPRS and EDGE models, type *99***1#.

Init String 1:

For GPRS and EDGE models, type AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<APN>"

 

Note: The APN (Access Point Name) is assigned by your wireless service

 

provider. APN is the name of an access point for GPRS. An access point is an

 

IP network to which a mobile can be connected.

Submit:

Click the SUBMIT button.

9.Click Save & Restart (located on the Menu bar). The PC will shut down and reboot.

10.After your router has restarted and the IP LED is flashing, wait for about 1 minute to be sure that the TR and CD LEDs are lit and showing a solid light (not blinking).

RJ-9, RJ-45 specifications

Multi-Tech Systems offers a range of communication solutions, prominently featuring the RJ-45 and RJ-9 connectors that are crucial in networking and telecommunications. These connectors are foundational to many applications, enabling efficient data transfer and ensuring reliable voice communications.

The RJ-45 connector is primarily used in Ethernet networks. It features eight pins and is designed for high-speed data transmission, making it the standard for wired local area networks (LANs). This connector supports various Ethernet standards including Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T), Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), and even 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). An essential characteristic of the RJ-45 is its versatility, as it can be used with both straight-through and crossover cable configurations. This flexibility allows for straightforward connectivity between devices such as computers, routers, and switches.

Multi-Tech Systems employs advanced technology in their RJ-45 connectors, including support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This innovation permits electrical power and data to be transmitted over the same cable, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional wiring. The robust design of these connectors ensures durability and minimizes signal interference, thereby maximizing data integrity during transmission.

On the other hand, the RJ-9 connector, also known as the RJ-9 or RJ-10 connector, is typically used in telephone and headset applications. Characterized by its smaller size and four or six pins, the RJ-9 is optimized for voice frequency communication. It connects devices such as telephones, headsets, and other VoIP equipment, delivering clear audio quality that is essential for effective communication.

One standout feature of the RJ-9 connector is its ability to provide superior noise resistance, making it ideal for environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
