Access Point Names
Your wireless service provider assigns an APN (Access Point Name), 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.
Provider Fees
Your provider charges you for data usage. Check with your provider for rates and limitations. 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 is not responsible for any charges relating to your cellular bill.
Verifying Signal Strength
To communicate directly with the cellular modem to verify signal strength, telnet to the modem.
Note: Ensure that the Status LED is blinking, indicating that the router is ready. Ensure that PPP is disabled
before verifying signal strength.
