PRODUCT OVERVIEW Product Overview About MultiConnect rCell 100 Series Router This guide describes the MultiConnect rCell 100 Series router. The rCell family of routers is carrier approved and ready-to-deploy. You can use your device to provide secure data communication between many types of devices that use legacy as well as the latest communication technologies. Some device models support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication to devices with these technologies. Also some device models support GPS.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Product Build Options Product Description MTR-H5-B07 Supports HSPA+ MTR-H5-B08 Supports HSPA+ and GPS MTR-H5-B09 Supports HSPA+, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth MTR-H5-B10 Supports HSPA+, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Descriptions of LEDs The top panel contains the following LEDs: ■ Power and Status LEDs—The Power LED indicates that DC power is present and the Status LED blinks when the unit is functioning normally.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW LED Indicators SIGNAL Signal strength for cellular. ALL OFF—Unit is off, not registered on network, or extremely weak signal (0 < = RSSI < 6). 1 Bar “ON”—Very weak signal (7 < = RSSI <14). 1 Bar and 2 Bar “ON”—Weak signal (15 < = RSSI <23). 1 Bar, 2 Bar, and 3 Bar “ON”—Good signal (24 <= RSSI > = 31). Side Panels The device has connectors on either side. The figure that follows shows the side which has a SIM card holder, as well as Wi-Fi, Auxiliary, GPS and cellular antenna connectors.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Ethernet LED Descriptions Two Ethernet LEDs are physically on the RJ-45 connector(s). The table that follows describes these LEDs. Ethernet Link Right LED on Ethernet connector. Blinks when there is transmit and receive activity on the Ethernet link. It shows a steady light when there is a valid Ethernet connection. Ethernet Speed Left LED on Ethernet connector. Lit when the Ethernet is linked at 100 Mbps. If it is not lit, the Ethernet is linked at 10 Mbps.
