1.Overview
The RB865io terminal is the complete modem solution for wireless m2m applications.
Based on the Telit GL865 or G30 module offers high level GSM/GPRS features in compact
aluminium housing with all the standardized interfaces and configurable I/O. Together with
its small size and wide supply voltage range, makes it easy to integrate into all kinds of
machines.
The RB865io Terminal enabling voice, data, SMS and fax communication is a
universal solution for all low-volume M2M and mobile data applications including metering,
traffic systems, transportation and logistics, security, vending machines, and facility
management.
Device can be controlled by standard AT commands or by customer's application
inside (embedded Python Script Interpreter or AppZone), thus making it the smallest,
complete SMT platform for m2m solutions.
This document contains full RB865io modem description and gives information about
installation and using it.

6.2. External connections
6.2.1. Antenna connector
SMA antenna input is used to connect external GSM antenna. To establish
connection with GSM network an external antenna must be used. Type of antenna depends
on GSM coverage. In good circumstances (level of received signal is high) use antenna
which is attached in the package. If range of GSM is low or none, an outdoor or indoor (for
instance in place where GSM range is sufficient) antenna should be used.
Note: If there is no antenna connected to SMA connector, the connection with GSM
network is impossible.

8.3. Checking the communication with the modem
Once the modem is connected you can check communication between RB865io
terminal and the PC using Telit AT Controller available here:
http://teleorigin.com/download/Tools/Common/Telit_AT_Controller_r2_2_1.zip
Configuration of the DTE (port COM) should be as follows:
Bits per second: 115200 bps,
Data bits: 8,
Parity: None,
Stop bits: 1,
Flow control: hardware.
To communicate with modem use software such as Hyperterminal (AT commands) or
use attached GPRS Control v.2.1.0.0 software. For further information about GPRS Control,
refer to GPRS Control 3.1.0.0 User's Manual and to install refer to GPRS Control Installation
Guide.
Using a communication software such as Hyperterminal, enter the AT and push
'enter' button. The response of the terminal should be 'OK' displayed in the Hyperterminal
window.
If the connection with the modem cannot be established do the following:
Check if modem is connected with PC via RS-232 or USB.
Check the configuration of the COM port.
Examples of AT commands:
ATE1 enables modem echo function,
AT+CGMI modem answers “Telit” when connection is OK.
AT+CPIN? shows current status of SIM card
AT+CPIN=xxxx to enter PIN, where 'xxxx' are digitals
AT+CSQ to verify received signal strength
ATD<phone_number>; to initiate a voice call
ATH to hang up a voice call
For further information about AT commands and their usage, refer to [1] / [2].

8.5. Disabling and enabling echo function
If echo is not displayed when entering AT command, that means:
The local echo function in software (such as Hyperterminal) is disabled
The echo function of the modem is disabled
To enable echo function of the modem enter ATE1 command.
In Machine to Machine communication it is recommended to disable echo function
(type ATE0) in order to avoid useless CPU processing.
For further information about AT commands and their usage, refer to [1] / [2].

8.6. Verifying the strength of received signal
RB865io Terminal can establish connection with network if the received signal
strength is sufficiently strong.
To verify the signal strength and bit error rate, do the following:
Using software such as Hyperterminal enter AT+CSQ. This command displays the
received signal strength indication <rssi> and channel bit error rate <ber>. The modem
answers as follows:
+CSQ: <rssi>,<ber>
OK
<parameter>
Description
<rssi>
0 through 31 - covers the range of -113 dbm (or less) to -51dbm (or
greater)
<ber>
Channel bit error rate (in percent)
0–7 RXQUAL values in the GSM 05.08 table
99 Unknown or not detectable
For further information about AT commands and their usage, refer to [1] / [2].
8.7. PIN code status
To check PIN code status enter AT+CPIN? Command.
The table below shows the most interesting responses of the modem:
Answer
Description
+CPIN: SIM PIN
PIN code has not been entered
+CPIN: READY
PIN code has been entered correctly
For further information about AT commands and their usage, refer to [1] / [2].

8.8. Network registration
8.8.1. GSM network registration
To check GSM network registration status enter AT+CREG? into software (for
instance Hyperterminal) Modem will answer in following format:
+CREG: <n>,<stat>[,<lac>,<ci>]
OK
The following table shows the +CREG parameters:
<parameter>
Description
<n>
0Disables the network registration unsolicited result code.
1Enables the network registration unsolicited result code +CREG: <stat>.
2Enables the network registration and location information in unsolicited
reports and Read command +CREG:<stat>[,<lac>,<ci>].
The default is 0.
<stat>
0Not registered, and the ME is not currently searching for a new operator to which to
register.
1Registered, home network.
2Not registered, but the ME is currently searching for a new operator to which to
