RadioFrame Networks, Inc. S-Series GSM/GPRS Radio Base Station 5
1 Getting to Know Your Radio Base Station
Welcome
The S1 GSM/GPRS Radio Base Station is the link between your cell phone (or your
data card) and your service provider, providing your own personal island of coverage.
It has a network connection for Internet access through your cable or DSL modem.
There’s also a router inside and four LAN (local area network) ports for sharing
connectivity with multiple computers.
To create your cell radio link, install and set up the base station. You won’t find a
complicated configuration script because the base station finds your cell service
provider across the Internet by itself! (This assumes, of course that your cable or DSL
modem is “talking” to its ISP, or Internet service provider. Please make sure this step
is taken before you attempt to get the S1 base station working; you will need to
arrange service and make sure it is working by contacting the ISP or your cellular
service provider.)
Once you have confirmed Internet access through your cable or DSL modem, the
Quick Install Guide gives you all the information you need to get on the air. This
reference contains much more information in case, for example, you want to do
special configuration of the base station’s router. By the way, we don’t recommend
manually setting up the router (or the radio base station for that matter) unless you
have unusual needs AND you have the experience to work with Internet Protocol (IP)
communications devices. Chances are the S1 works just the way you need, right out
of the box!
