Page 4: Introduction
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. -
Page 5: Host Rj-11 Ip Gateway Features
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. The RJ-11 IP Gateway and... -

Page 7: Cellular Account Required
Installation If you will be connecting the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway to a Raven-E, you will need a cross-over Ethernet cable to configure your Raven-E unless your computer’s Ethernet port is auto-sensing. The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway has an auto-sensing Ethernet port, you can use either a cross-over cable or a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway to the Raven-E or your computer. -
Page 8: Configuring The Raven-E
Configure the Raven-E for Public Mode. Set the *HOSTPRIVMODE to 0. In this mode, the modem assigns the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway the IP address it has received from your cellular pro- vider. This is the default setting for the modem. -
Page 9: Private Mode
Host RJ-11 IP Gateway User Guide, version If the modem and the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway are going to be on a LAN with other computers and devices you may want to use Private Mode. On a LAN, a DHCP server other than the modem may give the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway an IP address to which the modem would not know to send its messages. -

Page 20: Configuration Settings And Commands
Configuration Settings and CHAPTER 4 Commands The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway can be configured to handle a variety of devices which need to connect to an RJ-11 port. Web-based Interface The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway employs a web-based user interface. To access the web interface, you will need to know the IP Address given to your Raven-E by the cellular carrier (or the modem domain name if you have configured IP Manager settings for the modem). -
Page 21: Service Configuration
Most of the Service Configuration menu options deal with the RJ-11 port. Welcome The Welcome screen is the first page displayed when you connect to the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway. Current settings and status are shown in a table. FIGURE 3. -
Page 22: Serial Settings
Ethernet Address: MAC Address of the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway. • IP Address: The current IP Address of the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway and how the IP address was assigned (in the example, a Raven-E in Public Mode used DHCP to give the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway the IP addressed assigned by the cellular network). -
Page 23: Port Services
Port Services By default, the RJ-11 port is configured to accept incoming TCP connections from TCP/telnet cli- ents with outgoing service based on phone numbers dialed by the attached device (Modem Ser- vice). -
Page 24: Phone Number Translation
The Default Translation entry is used if the dialed phone number is not found in the list. (The dial backup number is not used in the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway.) The phone number table has a number of features to ease initial configuration. When an attached device dials a number that is not in the table, the device server creates a dummy entry in the table. -
Page 25: Network Translation
TCP hosts. This functionality is called network translation and behaves much like a TCP “pipe” between two systems. The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway also uses Network Translation to allow connections to the web-base interface on a port other than the http protocol defined port of 80 which is frequently blocked by cellular carriers. -
Page 26: Protocol Settings
IP address contains the network number, and which portion contains the host number. The default netmask depends on the “class” of the IP address that you are using. Host RJ-11 IP Gateway User Guide, version... - Page 27 In one type of configuration, the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway has been designed to work in conjunction with an AirLink Raven-E. The IP address for the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway and the IP address for the Raven-E need to be on the same network. If you need to set a specific IP address for the Raven-E and the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway, you will need to use Private Mode for the Raven-E.
