1. INTRODUCTION
Embedded Modem
The embedded modem of BYTTON is a HSDPA/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE/GSM multi-mode device. It
measures in real-time the RF signal level strength of the mobile network and lets the user to freely
choose the 2G/3G network. Thus it provides access rates up to the maximum possible for each network.
This way you may talk, download files or surf the Web without cabled connections almost
anywhere, at any time. When you are out of the coverage of high speed networks such as
HSDPA/UMTS, you can still get services on the wireless Internet with alternative access via
GPRS/EDGE/GSM network in your area. The embedded multiband modem covers almost all of the
frequency bands of the world!
WiFi
Wireless LANs are complementary extensions to existing wired LANs, offering complete mobility
while maintaining continuous network connectivity to both corporate and home Intranets. PC users stay
connected to the network anywhere throughout a building without being bound by Ethernet cables or
other LAN wires. This is accomplished through the use of Access Point functionality of BYTTON HSDPA.
The TOPEX equipment with built-in Internet gateway capability allows your house or company to share
an UMTS account or other broadband connection, working simultaneously from different rooms, without
need for cables or wires. The embedded Access Point of the TOPEX Gateway complies with wireless
standards IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b. The 802.11g is as extension to 802.11b (used in majority of
wireless LANs today) that broadens 802.11b’s data rates to 54 Mbps within the 2.4 GHz frequency band
using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) technology.
In order to ensure a correct installation / configuration and a good operation of the BYTTON
HSDPA equipment, the manufacturer strongly recommends you to study this manual before attempting
operation.

3. What is BYTTON HSDPA?
Still, if you are in an area where you have only UMTS or
GPRS or even GSM coverage, you may use BYTTON in
conjunction with the respective networks.
The BYTTON HSDPA equipment is
versatile advanced router for wireless
broadband Internet access using 3G
technology.
At the same time, it is a voice and data
interface between a single phone or a PBX
exchange and GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA
mobile network.
As data router, BYTTON achieves a direct
connection, transparent for the user,
between the local network (Ethernet and/or
WiFi) and the
HSDPA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS mobile
communications network.
For wireless WAN connection, it uses an
embedded radio modem for the HSDPA
mobile network. Its 3G capabilities assure
high speed Internet access.
The parameters of the FXO and FXS interfaces are
software programmable, by means of the web interface.
This facility is very helpful when your phone exchange
has only ISDN interfaces or there are no available analog
trunks (all of them are used).
As a voice interface, it allows wireless
connection of the local subscribers and
decreases the cost of fixed–to-mobile and
mobile–to-fixed calls. BYTTON achieves a
direct contact between a trunk or a local
subscriber extension of a PBX over the
mobile network. This way the fixed-to-
mobile calls are converted into mobile-to-
mobile calls. Thus you will pay only the
mobile-to-mobile cost.
Since BYTTON HSDPA features both FXO
and FXS interfaces, it is highly versatile:
you may connect it either to a trunk of the
phone exchange or to a local extension of
the same phone exchange.
