2General
2.1 Function Overview
The INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial is a DIN rail device for industrial applications.
It has a compact design, a robust plastic housing and offers the following charac-
teristics:
Quadband GSM engine for all four frequency ranges: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
MHz (The INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial can be used worldwide)
Before using the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial you should check the certifica-
tion requirements in the country of deployment.
Integrated TCP/IP and PPP stack for transparent modem emulation via GRPS
(GRPS modem emulation)
GSM services: GSM/CSD data connection, SMS, GPRS Class 12, EDGE Class 12
Support for the virtual COM port driver VCOM from INSYS icom
Integrated TCP/UP stack for modem-compatible behavior with transparent
transfer of data from and to the serial interface (“TCP transparent”).
Active dialing of IP addresses or domain names with TCP connections to a
server
Accepts TCP connections ("TCP Listen")
Dedicated line function (leased line); design as CSD or TCP/IP possible; intelli-
gent re-dialing time-outs for TCP/IP cost cutting; configurable substitute ac-
cess for redundant paths.
Callback function for incoming calls; callback as CSD or “TCP transparent" pos-
sible
Defined termination of GPRS connections for incoming CSD calls ("CSDPRIO")
Access protection via phone number analysis (CLIP) for incoming CSD calls, in-
coming SMS, when starting a callback, and when the priority for CSD calls is
set.
Password protection for remote configuration and configuration via SMS
Storage of the SIM card PIN enables automatic login into the GSM network af-
ter reset/restart
Timer-controlled logout and login into the GSM network or restart of the de-
vice, to prevent undefined login states in the GSM network
Automatic dispatch of a predefined SMS when the switch input is activated.
Advance switch input functionality: Connection setup and "IO tunneling"
(transmitting the input states via a TCP connection)
Standard AT command set according to GSM 07.05 and GSM 07.07
Extended AT command set (INSYS AT command for additional functions)

Automatic processing of incoming SMS for configuration or connection setup,
also during existing connections
Firmware update (locally and remote)
Integrated SIM reader and external SIM interface for 3V / 1.8 V SIM cards
Hardware watchdog
Extended data formats for the serial interface
Hardware and software handshake at the serial interface
Field strength of the GSM network, status display of the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial

Utilization Notes

3Utilization Notes
This manual uses the symbol for especially important notes. Further notes will
be marked accordingly.
All factory settings are marked “default”.
In Chapters 4.6 to 7 the description consists of two columns. Individual functions
are described on the left side. The according AT commands and the modem re-
sponses can be found in the right column.
Function description AT command
Example:
Dialing IP 192.168.0.2 and port 1234 ATD192.168.0.2:1234
All AT commands start with the letters AT and end with a “Return” (Carriage Re-
turn - CR). AT commands can be entered in capital or small letters. The command is
processed after the modem received a CR input.
In the following, the used syntax is explained:
ATD AT command (font: Courier, bold)
<expression> Input of a parameter
(font: Courier, bold)
[expression]Input of an optional parameter
(font: Courier, bold)
expression Response from the modem
(font: Italic)
Examples:
ATD<ip>:<port> Dialing the IP address <ip>:<port>
ATD192.168.0.1:1234 Dialing the IP address 192.168.0.1 and
the IP port 1234
AT**CALLBACK=0,2,0 The phone number that was stored with
AT**CLIP2 is assigned the action “IP
Callback”.

4.4 HSComm GPRS
The configuration of the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial takes place via AT commands which
are entered by a terminal program or a control program in the form of character
sequences. For a simpler set-up, all basic functions of the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial can
be entered without knowing the individual AT commands and their parameters,
using the configuration software HSComm GPRS.
The software can be installed on the operating systems Microsoft Windows 2000
and Microsoft Windows XP. A terminal window to enter commands directly is
available (menu item “Terminal”).
In Chapter 5 - Connections - and Chapter 6 - Functions -, the HSComm GPRS or an-
other terminal program can be used for the configuration. The AT commands can
be directly entered into the HSComm GPRS at the menu item “Terminal”.
The HSComm GPRS checks the connected device during startup. By default, only
those settings can be selected which are implemented in the identified device.
The buttons in the right column can be used to select the current settings, to re-
start (reset) the device, or to set the factory settings (default).
The current can be saved as a file at the menu item "File" in the main menu at the
top window border, and reloaded at a later date.
The selected configuration of the parameters is only sent to the INSYS GPRS
5.1 serial after you click on the button Send settings.

9. Install the configuration software HSComm GPRS and/or your terminal
program.
10. Start the program HSComm GPRS on the PC.
11. Synchronize the serial interfaces of the PC and the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial
At delivery, the serial interface settings of the INSYS GPRS 5.1 se-
rial are as follows: 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, data rate
19,200 Bits/s.
To synchronize the interfaces in the Software HSComm GPRS,
use the button "Synchronise RS232".
For the configuration, the settings of the serial interface of the PC and the
INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial must always be identical!
4.5.2 Driver Installation
The installation of a driver is not required when using a terminal program or the
software HSComm GPRS. When using another application, a driver may be neces-
sary. Please find our current drivers at http://www.insys-icom.com/driver/ or in-
stall the standard modem 336 under Windows.

4.5.3 Entering the SIM PIN into the Device
1. Start the program HSComm GPRS.
2. Read out the settings.
3. Enter the PIN of the SIM card you are using.
4. Transmit the value to the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial.
Use the button "Send settings".

4.5.4 Inserting the SIM Card
1. Disconnect the power supply.
The LEDs of the INSYS GPRS 5.1 serial will go out.
2. Remove the SIM card holder.
Press the sunken button (see image) above the SIM card holder
using a pointed object and remove the card holder.
Caution –Danger of short-circuit for your SIM card!
A short-circuit may occur due to sliding contacts when the card is
removed.
When inserting the SIM card, interrupt the supply voltage to pre-
vent damaging the card when sliding it along the card reader con-
tacts and creating a short-circuit.

3. Insert the SIM card into the card holder.
4. Reinsert the SIM card holder into the SIM card reader.
Insert the card holder. The contacts of the SIM card must point
to the left when looking at it from the front of the device.
5. Switch the power supply on.
The device will boot, the power LED will light up continuously, and the
status LED will blink.
6. Wait until the boot process is completed.
The Status LED goes out which indicates that the boot process is com-
pleted.
The signal LED is blinking.
4.5.5 Checking the Settings
1. Read out the settings.
Click on the button "Read settings" in the software HSComm
GPRS.
A symbol next the entry field of the PIN will show, if the INSYS GPRS 5.1
serial has been registered.

4.5.6 Checking the Field Strength of the GSM Signal
2. Read out the GSM field strength.
Use the button "GSM signal" in HSComm GPRS.
The field strength is displayed.
The response should be a field strength of at least 12 –other-
wise the antenna location needs to be changed to ensure fault-
less communication.
