1 Introduction
Cellular Router provides application and network designers with a bridge between the world of IT
infrastructure and the evolving wireless data networks. With Cellular Router the wireless transport is fully
integrated into the product’s routing fabric meaning that you can approach the setup and operation of this
product much as with any other IP addressable device. Wireless considerations are reduced to the absolute
minimum necessary to register and make connections on a network.
1.1 Theory Of Operation
The Series 1000A Cellular Router is a complete IP router that routes traffic over LAN Ethernet
(10/100baseT) connections. The wireless features of Cellular Router simply extend the IP routing capabilities
to include routing and network address translation (NAT) over CDMA2000/1XRTT wireless networks. As
with most routers IIM’s Series 1000A Cellular Router can be viewed as having a Local Area Network (LAN)
side and a Wide Area Network (WAN) side. Traffic originating at Cellular Router’s Ethernet ports is
considered LAN traffic. The Wide Area Network connection is over the wireless network’s 1XRTT
transport.
