4000/5000 Modems’ User Guide
Chapter 2:
Product Description
Introduction
BlueTree 4000/5000 series modems are rugged wireless modems built to provide
simple and reliable communications over the CDMA wireless data network to
applications such as Public Safety, Field Force Automation, Asset Tracking, Telemetry,
Meter Reading and WAN backup.
The modem manages two connections at the same time, thus acting as a
gateway/router:
Wireless WAN connection: this is the Wide Area Network connection to the
wireless network. The modem is typically configured to autonomously establish
a packet data connection to the wireless carrier and acquire a WAN IP address.
The LAN connection: this is the Local Area Network connection between the
modem and any terminal attached to its serial/USB/Ethernet ports. The modem
in this case acts as a server and assigns a private LAN IP address to the
attached terminal.
