Product Description
This User Guide describes the MultiModem Wireless EDGE, GPRS, and CDMA modems with an Ethernet Interface.
Product and Interface Descriptions
Ethernet Interface
The MultiModem wireless modems with an Ethernet interface provide shared Internet access with one IP
address. The built-in routing capabilities provide DHCP services and firewall security using Network Address
Translation. Due to the routing capabilities, these modems are sometimes called routers.
These modems support "always-on" network connection as well as "dial-on-demand" for Internet services. The
"always-on" network connection automatically establishes a wireless data connection and allows for around the
clock surveillance, monitoring or real-time data acquisition of any remote Ethernet device such as a Web
camera. If the data link is dropped in the event of poor reception or a complete loss of service, it will
automatically re-establish the data link. When configured for "dial-on-demand" the wireless modem only
accesses the Internet when data is present. This configuration is ideal for sharing Internet access among
networked PCs.
Software features include remote configuration, firmware upgrade, load configuration screen, and a save
configuration screen.
MultiModem EDGE
The MultiModem ® EDGE wireless modem delivers some of the fastest cellular wireless data speeds utilizing
EDGE technology. It allows users to connect to the Internet and send and receive data up to three times faster
than possible with an ordinary GSM/GPRS network making it ideal for highly data-intensive multimedia
applications. The MultiModem EDGE wireless modem is equipped with quad-band GSM, which means it can be
used worldwide on all existing GSM networks.
AT Commands: The MultiModem EDGE wireless modem is configured using the EDGE AT
Commands. These commands are documented in the Reference Guide for the MultiModem

The MultiModem ® GPRS wireless modem offers standards-based quad-band GSM/GPRS Class 10
performance. The ready-to-deploy, standalone data/fax/voice modem allows developers to add wireless
communication to products with a miniumum of development time and expense. The MultiModem
® GPRS
wireless modem is base on industry-standard open interfaces and can be desktop or panel mounted.
AT Commands: The MultiModem GPRS wireless modem is configured using the GPRS AT
Commands. These commands are documented in the Reference Guide for the MultiModem
