Rev Version 1.0
Modem Use
The 615M-1 Series modems are designed and intended for use in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” assumes
the device is physically secured at one location and not easily moved to another location. Always keep the cellular
antenna a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in.) from anyone’s head or body while the modem is in use. This modem is
designed for use in applications that observe the 20 cm separation distance.
Interference Issues
Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by following these guidelines:
• The use of cellular telephones or devices in aircraft is illegal. Use in aircraft may endanger operation and
disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe this restriction may result in suspension or denial of cellular
services to the offender, legal action or both.
• Do not operate in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel fuel pumps unless use has been approved and authorized.
• Do not operate in locations where the device could interfere with medical equipment that may be in use.
• Do not operate in fuel depots, chemical plants, or blasting areas unless use has been approved and
authorized.
• Use care if operating in the vicinity of protected personal medical devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers.
• Operation in the presence of other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is incorrectly
protected. Follow the installation recommendations provided by the equipment manufacturers.
Mobile Application Safety
• Do not change parameters or perform other maintenance on the 615M-1 modem while driving.
• Road safety is crucial. Observe national regulations for cellular telephones and devices while in vehicles.
• Avoid potential interference with vehicle electronics by correctly installing the 615M-1 modem. ELPRO
recommends installation by a professional.
UL Listed Models
When operating at elevated temperature extremes, the surface may exceed +70°C. For user safety, the
615M-1 should be installed in a restricted access location.
The SIM/SVC connectors are used for maintenance purposes only.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD, do not connect while circuit is live unless the area is known to be non-
hazardous.

ChapTEr 1 - INTrODUCTION
The 615M-1 Series from ELPRO is the ideal solution for a wide range of cellular data network serial and Ethernet
connectivity requirements. All 615M-1 Series feature both high-speed 3G HSPA and EVDO cellular communications
in a single device, with full GSM and CDMA backward compatibility. The 615M-1 delivers two LAN, one serial, and
Rx diversity connections.
The GSM mode features a Tri-Band UMTS/HSUPA (850/1900/2100) and Quad-Band GSM/GPRS network support
with data rates up to 14.4Mbps downlink and 5.76Mbps uplink for HSPA, and is backward compatible to HSUPA,
HSDPA, EDGE and GPRS, dependent on carrier service availability.
The CDMa mode features EV-DO Rev A speeds with data rates up to 3.1Mbps downlink and 1.8Mbps uplink,
and is backward compatible to EV-DO Rev 0 and 1xRTT, dependent on carrier service availability. This occurs
automatically to the level of service available. Dual Band Digital CDMA 800MHz and CDMA PCS 1900MHz models
supports packet-switched services.
1.1 Module Identification
The module identification label is located on the bottom of your 615M-1 device. This label contains the product part
number, the serial number, FCC and IC identifications, as well as carrier specific information that is required when
activating your data account.
The module identification label contains information for GSM and CDMA:
• The GSM information contains an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number in decimal format.
This number is used by the GSM network only to identify and validate the device. It has no permanent or semi-
permanent relation to the subscriber.
• The CDMa information contains the device MEID numbers. This number is required by your cellular carrier
when activating your data contract. The MEID number is provided in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.
The format required for activation is carrier dependent.

If SVC is solid on, the modem is connected to the Internet. If SVC is flashing, the modem is trying to connect to the
network. NET indicates the direction of data. At boot, the LEDs act differently than described in Table 5. The boot
sequence for LEDs is as follows:
All Red, All Amber, All Green, All Flash Green 3 times. Boot sequence is complete.
1.7 Antenna
The primary antenna connections are SMA female connectors, and must be used with antenna with SMA male
connectors. When using a direct mount or rubber duck antenna, choose the antenna specific to your band
requirements. Mounting options and cable lengths are user’s choice and application specific.
The AUX antenna connector is installed on all standard models and can be used for diversity. The diversity port
supports two bands, Cellular (850 MHz), and PCS(1900 MHz). Connect a dual band cellular antenna to this port to
implement RX diversity on the unit and increase receive sensitivity on the cellular network.

Date Displays the current date and time (UTC), as received from the cellular carrier. The
date and time information is updated at the start of each PPP connection, and
maintained internally until the modem is rebooted. If no PPP connection was made
this boot cycle, the time display will not be accurate. The date is not a user-settable
function—it is controlled only by the carrier-supplied date and time. Not all carriers
support this function.
System Up Time Displays the system uptime in seconds:

to ping this address to determine if a PPP IP address assigned is routable from the
Internet.
Primary DNS The Primary DNS server, as assigned by the cellular carrier, when PPP is UP.
Secondary DNS The Secondary DNS server, as assigned by the cellular carrier when PPP is UP.
