Introduction
1. Introduction
The Nokia 30 is a GSM Connectivity
Terminal with many advanced
functions.
With the Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity
Terminal connected to your compatible
PC or to a compatible device, you can,
for example, make data calls, send
messages, connect to the Internet and
so on.
The Nokia 30 offers high speed wireless
connections and it supports several data
connection types such as GPRS, high-
speed data, USSD and text messages
over EGSM900/GSM1800 networks.
The Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal also has highly useful security-related features such as
AutoPIN, GSM security codes and GSM encryption for end-user privacy.
The Nokia 30 has an internal antenna but if the signal strength is insufficient for optimal use, an
external antenna can be attached to the terminal.
When the Nokia 30 is attached to the data adapter RS-232, it can be used as a stand-alone modem
when connected to a compatible PC or compatible device. This user’s guide describes how to use of the
Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal as a wireless modem.

Introduction
■Three ways of using the Nokia 30 with a compatible PC or other
compatible device:
Connected to a PC as a wireless modem
The Nokia 30 is connected to your computer and is installed on your computer as a modem.
Communications applications can subsequently be used to send and receive data over the wireless
connection provided by the Nokia 30. For more detailed information, see Modem installation for Nokia
30 terminal on page 21.
Connected to a PC and typing the AT commands on a terminal software
application
The AT commands are typed directly in an application, for example Hyper Terminal®. The Nokia 30,
used as a modem, follows these commands. See Entering the PIN code as an example of this on page
17.
Connected to an electronics application
When the Nokia 30 terminal is connected to the data adapter RS-232, it can be attached to a device
with a serial interface for a modem. This device communicates with the Nokia 30 via the RS-232
interface using integrated AT commands. Read more about the use of Nokia 30 for M2M
communications on page 49.

2. Features of the Nokia 30
In this chapter the main features of the Nokia 30 terminal are described in brief.
Note: Do not switch on the terminal when wireless device use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger.
A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. These are special services that
you arrange through your wireless service provider. Before you can take advantage of any of these
Network Services, you must subscribe to them through your service provider and obtain instructions for
their use from your service provider.
For example, features like wireless data connections and supplementary services are network
dependent features in Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal.
■Data connections and messaging
The Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal supports five technologies for wireless data transfer, which
can be used where GSM networks support them. It is possible to use different AT commands depending
on the data bearer in use.
Note: Before you can use GPRS, HSCSD, CSD or USSD, you must subscribe to these services. You must
also save the settings for the applications used with these technologies. See Modem installation for
Nokia 30 terminal on page 21.

Features of the Nokia 30
GPRS
With GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) data is transferred over the network in small, standardized
packets. Transferring data as packets makes the transfer more efficient. Given that the Nokia 30
supports GPRS multi-slot class 6, multiple timeslots can be used for data transfer at the same time.
HSCSD
With HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) the Nokia 30 acts as a multi-slot class 6 terminal and
it offers data transfer speeds of up to 43.2 kbit/s.
CSD
CSD (Circuit Switched Data) offers data speed of up to 14.4 kbit/s.
SMS
SMS (Short Message Service) is used to send and receive messages containing a maximum of 160
characters via the Nokia 30. SMS is a convenient way to pass data quickly and easily to and from Nokia
30 terminals.
USSD
USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Services Data) offers reliable interactive messaging services. USSD
can be used to send and receive messages containing a maximum of 182 characters via the Nokia 30.
With USSD, the session is established for the duration of the connection. This increases data transfer
reliability and shortens response times as the delay is known.
Note: USSD messages can only be sent to the network, not directly to another mobile terminal.

■Supplementary services
The Nokia 30 terminal also supports additional network dependent services such as:
•Call forwarding to forward your calls to another number you specify.
•Call restriction to restrict outgoing and incoming calls.
•Call transfer to connect two different callers with each other and then disconnect one’s own call
without disturbing the other two callers.
•Call waiting alerts you of another incoming call during a phone call.
•In-call handling to switch between incoming and active calls.
•Multiparty call to connect several callers to one conversation.
•Security options such as Call barring.
You can take these supplementary services into use by changing the settings of Nokia 30. This can be
done using e.g. the Nokia 30 Configurator.
■AutoPIN
SIM security in the Nokia 30 terminal can be achieved by using the AutoPIN feature that makes the
SIM card useless to any unauthorized user. The standard PIN request is used by default in the Nokia 30,
however, the AutoPIN feature can be switched on with the Nokia 30 Configurator software. The PIN
code is then programmed in the terminal’s memory where it is relayed in unusual situations, for
example when the terminal is restarted.

Entering the PIN code
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. It is
usually supplied with the SIM card. If the SIM card requires a PIN code, you must enter this code to be
able to use the Nokia 30 terminal.
When the AutoPIN feature is switched on e.g. with the Nokia 30 Configurator software, the PIN code is
saved in the terminal’s memory and there is no need to type in the PIN code separately.
In a MS Windows environment, several applications can be used to establish the connection. One such
applications is HyperTerminal®. You can enter the PIN code with HyperTerminal as follows (in Windows
2000):
1. Start the HyperTerminal program (Start ->Programs ->Accessories ->Communications ->
HyperTerminal, then double-click the HyperTrm.exe icon).
2. In the Connection Description dialog box, type a
name for the connection in the Name box (for
example GSM1) and click OK.

Changing the PIN code
To protect your SIM card against unauthorised use, it is a
good idea to change the factory setting PIN code supplied by your service provider. Note that the PIN
code request must be set to on before you can change the PIN code with an AT command.
For example, to change the PIN code in the
HyperTerminal connection window:
1. Type in the following AT command
at+cpwd="sc","OLDPIN","NEWPIN"
where OLDPIN is the old PIN code and NEWPIN the
new code.
2. Press ENTER.
Note: The PIN code can also be changed using the
Nokia 30 Configurator software.
