CHAPTER
Introduction
Many
existing
meters,
data
loggers,
RTU's,
PLC's,
point-of-sale,
and
other
remote
devices
only
have
physical
interfaces
designed
to
access
the
telephone
network.
They
do
not
have
serial
or
Ethernet
ports.
They
currently
use
analog
cellular
or
standard
phone
lines
to
connect
in
circuit-
switched
mode
for
data
transfer.
Analog
cellular
phone
service
is
being
discontinued.
The
combination
of
the
Host
RJ-11
IP
Gate¬
way,
RJ-11
IP
Gateway,
and
the
AirLink
Raven-E
enables
remote
connectivity
between
host
appli¬
cations
and
these
remote
devices
over
cellular
packet
data
networks.
The
RJ-11
IP
Gateway
provides
the
bridge
between
a
device
requiring
an
RJ-11
interface
and
the
Raven-E,
with
its
Ether¬
net
interface.
The
Host
RJ-11
IP
Gateway
can
provide
Ethernet-based
Internet
connectivity
to
a
Legacy
Host
system
with
only
RJ-11
ports.

One
RJ-11
phone
port
The
phone
port
is
a
phone
line
designed
to
function
just
like
standard
wall-jack
analog
phone
line.
It
is
designed
primarily
to
connect
dial-up
devices,
with
internal
modems,
to
the
RJ-11
IP
Gateway,
which
then
routes
data
from
the
devices
over
the
network.

modem
to
an

device.
t
Caution:
The
Host
RJ-11
IP
Gateway’s
RJ-11
phone
port
should
never
be

into
the
Public

This

is
designed
to
emulate
the
PSTN
for

designed
to
be
connected
to
either
an
AirLink
modem
with
an
Ethernet

such
as
the
Raven-E
or

If
you
will
be
connecting
the
Host
RJ-11

Gateway
to
a
Raven-E,
you
will
need
a
cross-over
Ethernet
cable
to
configure
your

your
computer’s
Ethernet
port
is

has
an

you
can
use
either

You
will
need

and
power
source
for
both
the
Host
RJ-11

Gateway
and
the
Raven-E
(as
applicable).
•

-
To
configure
both
the
Host
RJ-11

Gateway
and
the
modem
(as
applicable),
you
will
need
a
computer
with
Internet

Required
•
Cellular
Account
-
If
you
will
be
connecting
the
Host
RJ-11
IP
Gateway
to
a
Raven-E,
you
need
to
already
have
an
active
account
with
a
cellular
provider
and
to
have
activated
your
modem
with
that
provider.
The
AirLink
Raven-E
is
certified
to
work
with
a
variety
of
cellular
providers.
If
you
need
to
activate
your
modem,
you
can
use
the
Setup
Wizard
for
your
cellular
provider
which
you
can
obtain
from
the
AirLink
website:
http://www.airlink.com/support/.

Port
Blocking
-
Many
cellular
providers
and
other
ISPs
block
ports
below
1024
which
are
the
default
ports
for
many
server
protocols
(such
as
HTTP,
telnet,
and
SSH).
If
your
provider
blocks
these
ports,
you
will
need
to
configure
a
port
you
can
access.
