Antenna
The ETM9420-1/9400-1 Terminal has a standard FME Jack (Male) antenna Plug on the end of an
approximately 90mm cable.
SIM Card
The SIM card connector is located on the underside of the ETM9xxx (x) Terminal. The unit
supports both 3V and 1.8V SIMs. Any SIM card used needs to be correctly provisioned for the
services and network upon which it is intended to be used.
If the terminal is intended to be used for remote access to a device a terminating data number for
Circuit Switch Data (CSD) will need to be provisioned by the network operator, this number will
usually differ from any voice/SMS number. Other key configuration settings are;
◩ Telstra NextG® SIMs to be used for CSD require 2620 bearer capability
SIM Pin
If the SIM used has a PIN either;
The device connected to the modem needs to enter the SIM pin using the appropriate AT
command
OR
The SIM PIN should be deactivated, insert the SIM in a mobile phone and deactivate then
transfer the SIM to the ETM9420-1/9440-1
Caution
Always disconnect power supply before
inserting or removing SIM Card.
Care should be taken in inserting and
removing the SIM card so as not to
dama
g
e the SIM holder or cover.

Data call: Connected to remote party or exchange of parameters while setting up
or disconnecting a call.
Permanently off ME is in one of the following modes:
- POWER DOWN mode
- AIRPLANE mode
- CHARGE ONLY mode
- NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode
- CYCLIC SLEEP mode with no temporary
wake-up event in progress
ETM9440-1
The operation of the units LED is determined by the setting of the AT^SLED command, typically
the unit is set to AT^SLED=2,10 and operation of the LED will be as follows.
Yellow LED (GSM) Function
10 ms on / 990 ms
off
ME is registered to a network.
GSM CS data or voice call or UMTS voice call is in progress.
10 ms on / 1990 ms

ME is either awake or in power saving state.
500ms on / 500 ms
off
ME is in Limited Network Service, e.g.
no SIM/USIM, no PIN or during network search.
Should alternative LED status indication be desired then the appropriate AT commands need to be
set. Refer to the AT command list for more details.

Common AT Commands
The Terminal can be controlled and by means of AT commands. The AT command structure
corresponds to;
The Cinterion AT Command Set for the TC63i Module – ETM9420-1
The Cinterion AT Command Set for the PH8-P Module – ETM9440-1
ATI Returns the module (TC631/EU3) name and firmware version.
At+CPIN=xxxx (this will allow you to input the SIM Card PIN Number)
AT+CSQ returns signal strength e.g. CSQ 8,99 where 8 is the signal and 99 is the service quality
AT+CREG? Verifies network registration status, 0 – not registered, 1 – registered, 2 – not registered
searching, 3 – registration denied, 5 – registered roaming
AT+COPS? Indicates connected operator if applicable
AT&V will return the current settings for the terminal.
AT&W Stores the current configuration of the unit.
AT&Z sets current parameters to the user profile stored with AT&W. If a connection is in progress, it
will be terminated. Note some parameters are not changed refer to AT Command document
AT&F sets all current parameters to the manufacturers default profile.

SMS Specific Commands
AT+CMGF=1 Changes the unit from PDU (Default Setting) to text mode.
AT+CSCA=“XXXXXXXXXX” Sets the SMS Central Number which is network dependant. Normally, this
should be read automatically from the SIM Card at start-up.
AT+CMGS=“YYYYYYYYYY” To send a SMS in Text Mode to a mobile number, where YYYYYYYYYY is
the mobile phone number. Next, wait for prompt >, then enter the text message followed by the
<CTRL Z> to send the message.
AT Commands for Incoming Circuit Switch Data Calls
ATS0=2 Will set the unit to answer an incoming call after 2 rings. Please note that for this to work
the SIM Card must be provisioned with a Terminating Data Number by your network operator.
AT+CRC=1 Sets call type indication, voice or incoming data call. Only terminating data calls displayed
as REL ASYNC will be answered. Note, no external access to the voice channel is provided on the
ETM9420-1/9400-1.
Typical AT Commands Applied to the ETM9420-1 / ETM9440-1
The following settings are typically made to the ETM9420-1 / ETM9440-1 prior to delivery, specific
customers may have different or no (default for module TC63i/PH8-P) settings.
