so the performance is not compromised. Devices were approved with the following antenna(s) and for alternate
antennas meeting the given specifications.
The antenna system is defined as the UFL connection point from the device to the specified cable specifications
and specified antenna specifications.
Requirements for Cellular Antennas with regard to FCC/IC Compliance
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below and having a maximum antenna gain of
6.18 dBi for the 700 MHz band, 6.00 dBi for 1700 MHz band, and 9.01 dBi for the 1900 MHz frequency band.
Antennas not included in this list or that have a gain greater than specified are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

FCC & IC Information to Consumers
The user manual for the consumer must contain the statements required by the following FCC and IC regulations:
47 C.F.R. 15.19(a)(3), 15.21, 15.105 and RSS-Gen Issue 3, Dec 2010; 7.1.2 and 7.1.3
FCC Grant Notes
The OEM should follow all the grant notes listed below. Otherwise, further testing and device approvals may be
necessary.
FCC Definitions
Portable: ( §2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the
radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
Mobile: (§ 2.1091) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally
maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.
Actual content pending Grant: This device is a mobile device with respect to RF exposure compliance. The
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons, and must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product guidelines. Installers and end-users must be provided with specific
information required to satisfy RF exposure compliance for installations and final host devices. (See note under
Grant Limitations.) Compliance of this device in all final host configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee.
Note: Host design configurations constituting a device for portable use (<20 cm from human body) require
separate FCC/IC approval.
Note: Only use antennas approved respectively as listed for the unlicensed radios (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi)
Host Labeling
The following statements are required to be on the host label:
This device contains FCC ID: {Add the FCC ID of the specific device}
This device contains equipment certified under IC ID: {Add the IC ID of the specific device}
For additional labeling requirements, see the product's Labeling Requirements. For the FCC and IC IDs, see specific
certificate information in the Regulatory Statement chapter.
SIM CARD AND ACCOUNT ACTIVATION
18 SocketModem
®
Cell MTSMC-MNA1 Device Guide
Chapter 5 – SIM Card and Account Activation
To use the device, set up a wireless account with your network provider:
1. Contact your network provider to obtain an account and a SIM card for their network. This device
requires a mini SIM (2FF).
2. Give the provider the following:
a. The device’s unique 15-character IMEI number located on the device label.
b. The device model number, also located on the device label. This number allows the carrier to verify
that the device is approved for operation on their network.
Important: Check your product’s label for the correct information to provide your wireless carrier.
Provide the model number (not the ordering part number) listed on the label.
3. Follow your provider's instructions for activating their SIM card on their network.
DUAL CARRIER FIRMWARE FOR CELLULAR RADIO
SocketModem
®
Cell MTSMC-MNA1 Device Guide 19
Chapter 6 – Dual Carrier Firmware for Cellular Radio
This device uses a cellular radio with dual carrier firmware meaning that it can be used on different carrier
networks (not simultaneously). The device can be used on either the Verizon or AT&T/other networks. The device
is configured for AT&T/others by default.
To check that your device is configured for the desired network:
AT#FWSWITCH?
If response is:
#FWSWITCH: 0
The device is configured for AT&T/other networks.
If response is:
#FWSWITCH: 1
The device is configured for Verizon.
To switch carrier networks:
From AT &T to Verizon:
AT#FWSWITCH=1,1
From Verizon to AT&T:
AT#FWSWITCH=0,1
Note: For the Link status (LS) LED to function, you must issue the command AT#GPIO=1,0,2 any time you use
the firmware switch command (AT#FWSWITCH=0 or AT#FWSWITCH=1).

Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) Script
Verizon Requirement: Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) - Scripting
Products: MultiTech MTC-MVW1, MTC-MNA1, MTC-LNA4, MTSMC-MVW1, MTSMC-MNA1, MTSMC-LNA4, MTSMC-
MNG2, MTCM-LNA3, and MTCAP-LNA3 Series
Cellular Radio Modules:
For MVW1 (Cat M1): ME910C1-NV
For MNA1 (Cat M1): ME910C1-NA
For MNG2 (Cat M1): ME910C1-WW
For LNA4 (Cat 4): LE910-NA V2
For LNA3 (Cat 1): LE910-NA1
At times, your device may require a critical update to radio firmware for devices connecting to the network. To
stay compliant to Verizon’s LTE requirements you must implement FOTA. Failure to perform a critical update could
result in losing access to the Verizon network.
MultiTech has developed a script for customers to use in order to initiate a FOTA update from the (the customer’s)
local host processor (pull FOTA).
MultiTech LTE Category M1, Cat 1, and Cat 4 devices for Verizon will allow the customer to initiate a FOTA update
from a remote server (push FOTA) as required and communicated by Verizon.
If your device does not include local processing capabilities, you will be required to upgrade when that release
becomes available.
Below is an example of a FOTA process for an LTE cellular module (the same steps would work for other LTE
devices just using different file names) you could implement in your host system. You may implement the process
below or implement your own FOTA solution.
In the example below, your host system application periodically accesses a file placed on an FTP server of your
choosing and reads file contents to determine if a firmware update is required. Contact MultiTech at
support.multitech.com for test delta files and to review your process prior to deployment.
Cellular Module FOTA Script Example Process
1. Set up an FTP server to contain a folder for future module firmware files.
2. Assign a unique username/password to access the FTP server.
3. Create and place a file on your FTP server named firmwarecheck.csv to be downloaded and read by your
cellular radio module FTP client host application. Include the following types of information in the file.
You can include additional information as needed.
a. The firmware version and build your LTE device should currently be using.
b. Path on current FTP server where firmware update file resides.
c. The date/time interval at which the host application should next perform a FOTA check in.
d. FTP server IP address which the host application should access during next FOTA check in.
e. Credentials for the FTP server where host application should next perform a FOTA check in.
