    Connectors are found on the front of the series 4100e cellular router . Ethernet ports 1 – 4 are auto polarity sensing and can be used with either a standard ethernet cable or a reverse (cross over) ethernet cable. Terminal block connector j1 supports three separate functions, power, relay contact c...

    Even if you elect to use a static ip address a ddns service will add value in two ways. First, when the networks static addressing assignment fails there is a mandatory waiting period before the endpoint is allowed to reinitiate the request for a static address registration. During this period of ti...
