1 Overview
The ELT-865 Terminal is the complete modem solution for wireless m2m
applications. Based on the Telit GL865 module, it is available as DUAL or QUAD band
version and offers high level GSM/GPRS features in compact aluminium housing with all
the standardized interfaces. Together with its small size and wide supply voltage range,
makes it easy to integrate into all kinds of machines.
The ELT-865 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), thus making it the smallest, complete SMT
platform for m2m solutions.
This document contains full ELT-865 modem description and gives information about
installation and using it.

5.2 External connections
5.2.1 Interfaces and connectors
5.2.1.1 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.

7.3 Checking the communication with the modem
Once the modem is connected You can check communication between ELT-865
terminal and the PC using Telit AT Controller available here [6]:
http://www.m2mgsm.com/download/Tools/Common/Telit_AT_Controller_r2_1_0.zip
Configuration of the DTE (port COM) in TATC settings should be set as follows:
•Bits per second: 115200 bps,
•Data bits: 8,
•Parity: None,
•Stop bits: 1,
•Flow control: hardware.
If the connection with the modem cannot be established do the following:
•Check if modem is connected with PC via RS-232.
•Check the configuration of the COM port.
Examples of AT commands:
•ATE1 enables modem echo function,
•AT+CGMI modem answers “Motorola” 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 Telit AT commands and their usage, refer to [1].

7.4 Python scripts
ELT-865 terminal integrates embedded Python interpreter. See simple guides here or
refer to [5] for more details. To find more information about python programming refer to [7].
7.4.1 Downloading script
Command: AT#WSCRIPT=“< script_name >“,< size >,< know-how >
<parameter>
Description
< script_name >
file name
< size >
file size (number of bytes)
< know-how >
know how protection, 1 = on, 0 = off (default)
The script, the compiled script, any text or binary file, can be downloaded on the
module using the #WSCRIPT command. In order to guarantee your company know-how,
you have the option to hide the script text so that the #RSCRIPT command does not return
the text of the script and keeps it "confidential", you can see the name of the script only
using the #LSCRIPT command. Remember that if you chose to hide the script text, it is your
responsibility to keep the information about what is executed on the module.
In order to download the (compiled) script, you have to choose a name for your script
on the module, taking care of the following:
the extension for scripts is .py
the maximum length allowed is 16 characters
script names are case sensitive (“Script.py” and “script.py” are two different
scripts).
Then you have to find out the exact size of the script in bytes (or pre-compiled script,
or generic text or binary file). For example, right clicking on the file and selecting “size” in
“properties” (attention: this is different from selecting “size on the disc”).
For further information refer to [5] Telit_Easy_Script_Python.pdf
