2 New and Improved Features
AT command / feature Brief description
SMTP client This release implements a more stable handling of SMTP Server
return codes.
ASC0 interface This release fixes a rare condition of failed communication over
the ASC0 serial interface after AT^CALA had been set and the
module switched off with AT^SMSO.
Internet services This release adds transparent UDP client support including
support for appropriate UDP profiles. For details see [2].
AT^SIPS This release introduces the AT^SIPS command to save and load
the settings of the Internet connection and service profiles in the
non-volatile memory. The command can also be used to reset the
settings to their default values without saving. For details see [2].
AT^SNMON This release introduces the AT^SNMON command that can be
used to monitor more detailed radio network information. For
details see [2].

3 Known Issues
AT command / feature Brief description
Unsolicited result codes
“^SISR: x,2”,
“^SISW: x,2”
At the end of an Internet session, a download job may sometimes
return the “SISW: x,2” URC instead of the expected “^SISR: x,2”
URC, or vice versa, an upload job may return “^SISR: x,2” instead
of “^SISW: x,2”. Both URCs are correct in either case – they
notify that data transfer has completed and that the service can
be closed with AT^SISC.
Example:
The FTP put service (“ftpput://…”) returns the URC “^SISR: x,2”
instead of “^SISW: x,2” if used with mode=”d” to delete a given
element name on the FTP server.
For greater flexibility, to cover all cases, we recommend that the
host application shall be parsing for the URC “^SIS*: x,2” rather
than for the full URC text.
(x = <srvProfileId>, i.e. ID of the Internet service profile).
Concatenating ATV and
ATX If you wish to concatenate the two commands ATV and ATX please only use the sequence ATV0X0. The sequence ATX0V0
returns “+CME ERROR: 21”.
AT^SNMON Although the network monitoring command AT^SNMON permits a
value range of 1-15 for the <rb> radio band parameter, BGS2-E
supports only the values 1-3 (GSM 900 MHz and GSM 1800
MHz).

4 Getting Started with BGS2-E
For testing and debugging purposes BGS2-E is supplied as an evaluation module. The
evaluation module comprises of the actual SMT module soldered onto a PCB with a 60-pin
board-to-board connector on its bottom side that can be connected to Cinterion’s
Development Support Board DSB75 1.
DSB75 is an evaluation kit designed for a wide range of Cinterion wireless modules. It pro-
vides an application interface between the module and a PC. A detailed DSB75 interface
description and operating instructions can be found in [4]. The focus of this chapter is only on
how to operate a BGS2-E evaluation module at a DSB75.
4.1 Technical Requirements
BGS2-E evaluation module, Revision 01.301
DSB75 Development Support Board
BG2-DSB75 Adapter required for mounting the evaluation module to the DSB75.
Accessories:
- External 50 Ohms RF antenna connecting to the SMA connector on the BG2-DSB75
Adapter (e.g. a SMARTEQ MiniMag antenna such as delivered with each DSB75
Development Support Board)
- 9 to 15 Volts power supply applied at the DSB75 for powering up the DSB75 and the
connected BGS2-E module (not supplied by Cinterion)
- Optional: Votronic Handset (delivered with each DSB75)
- RS-232 cables for the module’s asynchronous serial interfaces ASC0 and ASC1
Appropriate application for controlling the module from within Windows, e.g. Windows
Hyperterminal
4.2 Connecting the BGS2-E Evaluation Module to DSB75
To properly connect the BGS2-E evaluation module and all accessories to the DSB75 follow
the steps listed below.
Prepare the DSB75 as shown in Figure 2:
- Ensure that all jumpers and slide switches marked green are correctly set on your
DSB75 (i.e., factory default settings except for S730 and S731).
Prepare the BG2-DSB75 Adapter as shown in Figure 4:
- Ensure that the four jumpers and the slide switches X201 and X210 are set to the
default positions marked green.
Attach the 80-pin header (X135) of the BG2-DSB75 Adapter to the 2x40-pin header
(X101/X202) located on the DSB75. Take gentle care that all pins are aligned correctly,
then press down evenly on the adapter until it is firmly seated.
Mount the BGS2-E evaluation module onto the 60-pin board-to-board connector (X100)
located on the BG2-DSB75 Adapter.
1A specialized SMT Socket provides a further possibility for testing and debugging SMT modules
during development. The SMT Socket allows multiple connect/disconnect cycles and eliminates the
need of soldering your test samples. A detailed description of how to get started using the SMT
Socket is not yet available.

Plug the 50 Ohms RF antenna to the SMA connector (X305) of the BG2-DSB75 Adapter.
Connect RS-232 cables to the 9-pin SubD connectors on the DSB75:
- Use COM1 (X201) for the module’s first asynchronous interface ASC0.
- Use COM 2 (X202) for the module’s second asynchronous interface ASC1.
Insert the SIM card into the card holder placed on the bottom of the BG2-DSB75 Adapter.
Do not use the SIM card holder (X503) located on the DSB75.
Connect the Western plug of the handset to the Western jack (X502) on the DSB75.
Make sure that the power supply adapter delivers 12 Volts, and connect the power
cables to the red (X400 = BATT+) and black (X401 = Ground) connectors of the DSB75.

Note: The PWR_IND signal is generated by a power indication circuit integrated on the BGS-
DSB75 Adapter, similar to the power indication circuit recommended in [1] for the final
product. The PWR_IND signal notifies the on/off state of the connected module. If the
module is switched on the PWR_IND signal switches on the DSB75.
