TOPEX MobiLink
IP
Preliminary Manual
and respectively:
The permanent identification info shown refers to the following elements:
-
Serial Number: each MobiLinkIP device from Topex has a unique identification number, such as
2709052 or 2709057 in the above examples, etc. This is the serial number of the mainboard of the
Topex gateway. According to the requirements of the users, a certain MobiLinkIP motherboard
may be factory-fitted with one or two modems of different types, or other hardware features, but the
serial numbers remain the same;
-
Firmware version: version of the application firmware running on MobiLinkIP: you may see
“
mobililik-ip-1.0.1-M2P-p
. The firmware can be easily updated (a new version) or upgraded (new
software features added);
-
Kernel version (Operating system version), such as system-1.0.1-MXX-SZW or “topex-kernel-
0.0.3.-A” in the example above. The application firmware and the operating system (root or kernel)
may be updated separately, according to the requirements of the users. The operating system
memory is write-protected, thus in case of problems, accidental erasing or power failure during
updating, there is still a functional “system” allowing loading of a new software image;
Also, information related to the two mobile modules may be displayed:
-
IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), subscriber's identity (SIM card identity). This is a
unique 15 digits code number that identifies a mobile subscriber to the network. If the MobiLinkIP's
module detects an active SIM card, it will query (and display) the IMSI code.
-
Since the IMSI code is related to the SIM, when changing the SIM card another IMSI code is
available.
-
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier). 15-digit number that uniquely identifies an
individual mobile wireless terminal device. While IMSI is specific to the subscriber (SIM card), IMEI
is specific to the equipment (each of the two modems of MobiLinkIP in this case).
To be able to see this Status page, one must be logged-on to the MobiLinkIP device.
