8: Data Communication and Host 8 Modes

• Basic Modes
• Serial Modes
• Data Communication	The PinPoint X plays the part of a HOST when a computer or
	another device is connected directly to its port and routes data
	to/from the connected device to the cellular network.
	Caution: The PinPoint X moves data from one port to the cellular
	network in a simple one-to-one routing. It does not employ a routing
	table or any complicated routing protocol.
	Tip: If you need to have one-to-many routing, you can connect the
	PinPoint X to a router. The router would provide the multiple routing
	and the PinPoint X would provide one-to-one for the router to the
	cellular network and the Internet.
	As the host, the PinPoint X can use different communication
	modes:

Basic Modes

•AT: The PinPoint X accepts and responds to standard AT commands.

•PassThru: Direct connection to internal hardware (OEM Module) of the PinPoint X.

•Telnet: The PinPoint X auto‐answers TCP connections to allow terminal emulation using either a local Ethernet connection or remotely using the cellular connection.

Tip: By default, the PinPoint X is in AT Mode and allows AT Commands to be entered via terminal connection (through the local port connection) or remotely (through the cellular network). PassThru Mode can only be exited by resetting the PinPoint X. All serial modes are entered by use of a startup mode command.

Serial Modes

•PPP Mode: The PinPoint X uses PPP to communicate with a device or computer connected to the serial or USB port.
