Setting the value to zero causes the link to stay active continuously.

Dial Number

Enter the dial number. This number connects you to the Internet.

 

For GPRS and EDGE, the number is *99***1#.

 

For CDMA, the number is #777

Init String

You can set up to 5 modem initialization strings.

 

For GPRS and EDGE: Include the Access Point Name by typing:

 

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<APN>"

 

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

 

provider.

PPP Authentication

Authentication Type

Click the button corresponding to the authentication protocol you want to

 

use to negotiate with the remote peer. PAP, CHAP, or PAP-CHAP.

 

Default = PAP-CHAP

User Name

Enter the PPP User Name. This name authenticates the remote peer. The

 

default is ipmodule.

Password

Enter the PPP Password. This password authenticates the remote peer.

 

The default is ipmodule.

A Note About the Access Point Name

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

5.Click the Submit button.

6.Click the Save & Restart button.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SUBMIT AND SAVE & RESTART

Click the Submit button located at the bottom of most screens in order to save any changes you make. Then you must click the Save & Restart button, located on the Menu bar, in order for your settings to take effect.

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. Multi-Tech Systems' RJ-9 connectors are designed for ease of use, allowing quick and simple connections. These connectors can often be found in various telephony devices, ensuring that they remain a staple in personal, commercial, and industrial communication systems.

In conclusion, Multi-Tech Systems continues to lead in the provision of reliable RJ-45 and RJ-9 connectors, integrating innovative technologies that enhance performance in data and voice communication. Whether in a high-speed networking environment or in everyday telephony applications, these connectors deliver the functionality and quality demanded by modern users. Their design and engineering reflect a commitment to excellence, helping users stay connected in an increasingly digital world.
