Data Communication

Note: The PinPoint-E forwards

messages to and from the

cellular network for only ONE

device per port. The PinPoint-E

is a one-to-one gateway and

does not have advanced routing

features required to do one-to-

many routing.

Tip: When using Public mode, Sierra Wireless recommends

connecting the modem directly to the computer or other end device.

Using a hub or switch may prevent the PinPoint-E from updating the

IP address of the end device when an IP address is received from the

cellular network.
