Connection methods

You can connect the MP modem to a USB, Ethernet (RJ45), or serial (DB9) port

on a computer. When connected to a USB or Ethernet port, the MP modem

behaves like a network card. When connected to a serial port, the MP modem

behaves like a dial-up modem.

The MP modem also supports connections via IEEE802.11b/g if you are

implementing a WiFi version.

USB

The MP is equipped with a USB port which increases the methods by which you

can send and receive data from a connected computer. The USB port can be set

to work as either a virtual Ethernet port or a virtual serial port. A driver installation

is required to use the USB port in either mode.

Note: It is recommended that you use a USB 2.0 cable with your MP and connect directly

to your computer for best throughput.

Virtual serial port

The MP modem supports one virtual serial port over USB and one virtual serial

port over Ethernet. This VSP can be used, for example, to send AT commands, or

to run applications such as HyperTerminal
