Chapter 3 – Initial MultiConnect
Configuration
Configuration varies slightly depending on which model you have. The MT100A2W-G, which has the
internal GPRS/GSM wireless modem, has more configuration options than the MT100A2W unit. The
MT100A2W requires a Multi-Tech CDMA, RS232-based external modem for its cellular connection. The
differences are detailed in the Cellular Port Configuration topic.
The following configuration procedures are based on the Windows XP Operating System. If you cannot
find HyperTerminal in a different Windows operating system, check Windows Help for access
