The MTCMR contains an embedded TCP/IP protocol stack to bring Internet connectivity to any device without making
changes to its hardware design. Using the Internet protocols and the wireless connection to an IP network, the modem
sends and receives data over the Internet. The modem offers short message service (SMS) features such as text and
PDU, Point‐to‐point (MT/MO) and cell broadcast. Cell broadcast is not available on EV2 models.
The MultiModem iCell modem delivers some of the fastest cellular wireless data speeds using the various Internet
protocols. This is ideal for highly data‐intensive applications such as remote video surveillance and other multimedia
applications where you are sending digital images, web pages and photographs.
The MultiModem iCell modem is designed around a wide variety of interface options including serial RS‐232, USB, and
General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO). The serial RS‐232 and USB connections provide seamless connectivity for
configuration of your application. The GPIO interface provides five user‐configurable GPIO's as CMOS input or output
ports to be connected to a customer's peripheral device. A customer application in which the GPIO interface could be
used is one with a monitoring device connected to the GPIO interface in which the monitoring device triggers an event in
the IP stack to establish a TCP or UDP socket connection or send an email stating that the monitoring device was
triggered by high water.
