Usage

Allows to receive and send SMS messages (2G, 3G). Provides Ethernet over LTE (4G).

VT740 allows you to receive notifications over Ethernet, SMS notifications, SNMP connection, and others.

Provides network reservation: e.g. if the LAN connection fails, the Ethernet connection is secured using LTE 4G.

Can be installed in VT335t, VT336t, VT825t, VT855t, and VT960t monitoring systems. Power cycling is an embedded function.

Info

The same PCB of VT740 is used for i and t series (e.g. VT335i and VT335t). But The metal enclosures use a different metal panel for holding the modem. t series have an additional screw to hold the panel. Thus the installation is slightly different. But in all other regards, it is the same.
