How Does MOBTEK Q24 STK MODEM HUB (model B-8-L-SG) Work?

 

MOBITEK® Q24 STK MODEM HUB, model B-8-L-SG, has 8 modems supporting 8 SIM cards. Each modem in the hub has an IP address with different port number:

  • modem 1 => 192.168.1.10:961
  • modem 2 => 192.168.1.10:962
  • modem 3 => 192.168.1.10:963
  • modem 4 => 192.168.1.10:964
  • modem 5 => 192.168.1.10:965
  • modem 6 => 192.168.1.10:966
  • modem 7 => 192.168.1.10:967
  • modem 8 => 192.168.1.10:968

On PC side, you will need to install a virtual com port driver that will map com port to the IP address, e.g.:-

  • COM Port no. 11 => modem 1 (192.168.1.10:961)
  • COM Port no. 12 => modem 2 (192.168.1.10:962)
  • COM Port no. 13 => modem 3 (192.168.1.10:963)
  • COM Port no. 14 => modem 4 (192.168.1.10:964)
  • COM Port no. 15 => modem 5 (192.168.1.10:965)
  • COM Port no. 16 => modem 6 (192.168.1.10:966)
  • COM Port no. 17 => modem 7 (192.168.1.10:967)
  • COM Port no. 18 => modem 8 (192.168.1.10:968)

Then your Reload System/Software communicates with the COM port number, e.g.:-

  • Reload1.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload2.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload3.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload4.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14

Or if you are using multi-threading, then

  • Reload.exe => thread no. 1 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 2 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 3 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 4 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14
