A Note About the Access Point Name
The APN (Access Point Name) is assigned by your wireless service provider, but you may have to ask for it. An access
point is an IP network to which a MultiModem rCell Router connects. The Web Management software asks for the APN
on the Wizard Setup screen and the PPP screen.
Important Note About Provider Fees
Your provider will charge you for your data usage. Please check with your provider to make sure you are aware of the
charges.
If you plan to use the router for large amounts of data transfers, Multi-Tech recommends an unlimited data plan with
your account. Multi-Tech will not be responsible for any charges relating to your cellular bill.
Note: Additional features and functions can be set up using the complete Web Management software program,
described in Chapter 3.
