MultiModem rCell User Guide 7
Chapter 1 – Product Overview
This User Guide describes the MultiModem® rCell intelligent wireless routers with an Ethernet II interface. You
can configure the MultiModem rCell Router for one of three connectivity modes: always-on, wake-up on ring, or
dial-on demand.
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 due to poor reception or a complete loss of service, this feature automatically re-
establishes the data link.
The wake-up on ring configuration allows the router to “wake up” and initiate a connection when it detects an
incoming ring. For security reasons, you can setup the router to wake up based on a particular caller ID number.
This configuration is ideal for reducing the costs associated with the modem being online and available 24/7.
When configured for dial-on demand, the router only accesses the Internet when data is present. This
configuration is ideal for sharing Internet access among networked computers.

Safety Warnings
Ethernet Ports Caution
Ethernet ports are not designed to be connected to a Public Telecommunication Network or used outside the
building.
Handling Precautions
To avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge, use proper precautions when handling any cellular
device. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of static
build-up, use proper precautions to avoid exposure to electronic discharge during handling and mounting the
device.
Caution: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and the
body of the user or nearby persons. The modem is not designed for or intended to be used in portable
applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the user’s body.

Chapter 1 – Product Overview
MultiModem rCell User Guide 9
RF Interference Issues
Follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF)
interference. Follow the safety advice given below.
●Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using cellular telephones in an aircraft may endanger
aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction may lead to
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, legal action, or both.
●Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle
with fuel.
●Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
●Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting
operations are in progress.
●Operating your wireless device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment
is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
●Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
●Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
●Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.
●Keep the device on the opposite the side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the
pacemaker and the device.
●Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or
jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Chapter 1 – Product Overview
10 MultiModem rCell User Guide
Vehicle Safety
●Do not use your device while driving, unless equipped with a correctly installed vehicle kit allowing Hands-
Free Operation.
●Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones in vehicles.
●If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, operating the wireless device could interfere with the vehicle’s electronics.
To avoid such problems, use qualified personnel to install the device. The installer should verify that vehicle
electronics are protected from interference.
●Using an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn is not permitted on public roads.
Internal Lithium Battery
A lithium battery on the board provides backup power for the time-keeping capability. The battery has an
estimated life expectancy of ten years. Contact Multi-Tech if you suspect a failed battery. If data and time are
incorrect after having the unit powered off, it may be due to a weak battery or incorrect setup.
Warning: You risk explosion if you replace the battery with the wrong type.
●This product uses a lithium battery to provide backup power for timekeeping. This battery has an estimated
life expectancy of ten years. When the battery starts to weaken, the date and time may be incorrect. If you
suspect battery failure, contact Multi-Tech.
●Lithium cells and batteries are subject to the Provisions for International Transportation. Multi-Tech Systems,
Inc. confirms that the lithium batteries used in the Multi-Tech product(s) referenced in this manual comply
with Special Provision 188 of the UN Model Regulations, Special Provision A45 of the ICAO-TI/IATA-DGR (Air),
Special Provision 310 of the IMDG Code, and Special Provision 188 of the ADR and RID (Road and Rail Europe).
Front Panel
The front panel contains the following LEDs:
●Power and Status LEDs—The Power LED indicates that DC power is present. The Status LED blinks when the
unit is functioning normally
●Two Ethernet LEDs—The two Ethernet LEDs indicate transmit and receive activity and connection speed of 10
or 100Mbps on the Ethernet link.
●Two modem LEDs—The two modem LEDs indicate carrier detection and link status.
●Three signal LEDs—The three signal LEDs display the signal strength level of the wireless connection.
The SIM door on the right side of the router provides access to the SIM card holder on the E1, G2, and H5
versions.
