MultiTech rCell 100 Series cellular modems 

For HTTP SMS support we are implementing the HTTP API provided by 

MultiTech in their rCell 100 Series 

modems

. 

The rCell 100 Series modems support a wide range of cellular networks (GSM/CDMA) and countries.  

Please see our modem information page for the latest information regarding supported modems. 

https://www.exele.com/software-products/topview/resources/cellular-modems-sms/

 

In the US we are using the following models: 

 

Older models 

o

 

MTR-LAT1-B07

 (AT&T/GSM, requires Mini SIM card) 

o

 

MTR-LVW2-B07

 (Verizon, requires Mini SIM card) 

 

Newer models 

o

 

MTR-LNA7

 (AT&T/GSM and Verizon, requires Micro SIM card) 

 

GSM: supported in TopView 6.33 and later 

 

Verizon: 

 

Outgoing: supported in TopView 6.33 and later 

 

Incoming (alarm acknowledge): 
Not supported with firmware 5.1.x 
Supported with firmware 5.2.1 and TopView 6.34 
 

 

SIM Inserted Status: TopView can return the status of the SIM card 
(inserted/not inserted) by querying the SIM card status from the modem.  

“SIM inserted” 

status for the LNA7 currently ret

urns “not inserted” even if the 

SIM card is inserted in TopView 6.33 because the SIM status command used for 
the older models is not available for the LNA7. 
TopView 6.34 can return the correct status but multiple insert/removal of the 
SIM may not be correctly recognized.

 

You will need to obtain a SIM card (correct size) from a cellular provider for use with the cellular 
modem. Please check with MultiTech for the correct rCell 100 Series modem to support your cellular 
carrier.
