1Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
The BlueTree 5000v2 and 6000 series modems are rugged cellular modems built to provide simple and reliable
communication over a CDMA or GSM cellular data networks. They are typically used in applications such as Public
Safety, Transportation, Vehicle Tracking, Telemetry, SCADA, Remote / Temporary Offices, Landline Replacement, and
WAN backup / Business Continuity.

The modem supports two operational modes: router mode, and IP pass-through mode.
1.1.1 Router mode
In Router mode, which is the default mode, the modem manages local and wireless connections independently, and is
capable of routing data packets back and forth between the two.

Figure 1 - Router mode
The modem manages two connections at the same time, thus acting as a gateway/router:
Cellular WAN connection: This is the Wide Area Network connection to the cellular network/Internet. The
modem can be configured to automatically and autonomously establish a packet data connection to the cellular
carrier and acquire a WAN IP address.
LAN connection: This is the local connection between the modem and any device attached to its Serial / Ethernet
/ USB ports. In the case of Ethernet and USB, the modem acts as a DHCP server and assigns a private LAN IP
address to the attached device.
The modem then routes packets back and forth between its WAN and LAN connections, and in turn allows the locally
attached device to communicate with computers or devices at a remote location.
1.1.2 IP pass-through mode
In IP pass-through mode, the modem assigns its WAN IP address directly to the attached host, thus becoming a fully
transparent actor in the communication process. The modem remains reachable through its reserved TCP and UDP ports
so that remote administration and configuration is still possible. Note that this mode allows only one IP address to be
assigned to the first connected device via DHCP (This configuration is not recommended for BT-6x21).
Figure 2 - IP pass-through mode
1.2 Modem features

Table 1 –Modem features
3 different data connection
interfaces
Serial/RS-232/COM, Ethernet, and USB
Ethernet switch
Available on the BT-6x21 models only. These models have an embedded 5-
port Ethernet switch.
Power-over-Ethernet
Models ending in EB (BT-6x01EB) are models with built in power sourcing.
Power-over-Ethernet compatible devices can be powered simply by
connecting it to the modem’s Ethernet port.
Autonomous & persistent
connection management
Fully integrated TCP/IP protocols allow the modem to connect
autonomously to the packet network (Internet). This feature enables
capabilities such as: in-call diagnostic, Serial-IP, stand-alone GPS, remote
configuration and remote firmware upgrades.
DHCP server
The modem’s DHCP server allows easy administration and setup of the local
network by automating IP address assignment
IP pass-through
The modem can assign its WAN IP address to the attached host, thus
disabling the DHCP server’s Network Address Translation. Even when
performing pass-through, the modem remains reachable for remote
administration through its reserved TCP ports.
IP security
The modem can be configured with up to 10 IPSEC tunnels for increased
security in communications.
In-call diagnostic
The user can get modem status information while in a data call, without
interrupting the data session
Serial IP
The modem can provide a reliable means of communication with serial-only
legacy devices. It can encapsulate data coming from the serial port into a
TCP or UDP packet and send it to a remote server on the packet network or
Internet. It can decapsulate IP packets coming from the network and send
raw data to the serial port.
Remote configuration
The modem can be remotely configured or diagnosed using BlueVue Device
Manager or a terminal session
Remote firmware upgrade
The modem’s firmware can be remotely upgraded using BlueVue Device
Manager software
Password protection
The modem’s configuration can be protected from tampering by requesting
the user to enter a password before the existing modem configuration can
be viewed or modified
Integrated GPS receiver
BT-5000v2 models include a GPS receiver for Automatic Vehicle Location
(AVL). The modem can report this positioning data locally to any of the local
data interfaces (serial, Ethernet, or Ethernet-over-USB), and/or remotely to
a predefined server (see stand-alone).
Standalone GPS
BT-5000v2 modems can be used for remote asset tracking by sending GPS
data to a remote server without the need for a client application or
computer connected to the modem.
Store and forward
If a unit loses its connection to the cellular network, the event data being
collected from I/O, GPS and other sources will be stored in memory and
automatically forwarded when the connection is reestablished. This is
available when using TCP (with or without BEP ACK) or UDP (with BEP ACK

only).
Inputs and outputs
Sensors can be connected to the I/O ports of the modem. Depending on
models, the modem is capable of monitoring up to four digital inputs for
any change in state, and up to three analog inputs for changes in gradient
data sources. The modem also has up to three digital outputs that can be
used to remotely trigger relays.
The inputs and outputs can be used with the event reporting protocol to
allow automatic reports and triggers.
Event reporting
The modem can send a report to up to 10 destinations when a user-defined
event is triggered. Up to 30 events can be defined based on I/O signals, GPS
data, RF status. The modem has an embedded event reporting protocol
that automatically formats the messages reported to the remote server.
Mobile Originated Management
The modem can connect to a remote server and perform management
actions (firmware upgrade, configuration changes …). This feature uses
Event Reporting.
Partner apps
The modem can host partner applications used for example to report
cellular traffic usage, vehicle diagnostics, alarms, …
