1.2 What is G400E
G400E is a 4-channel (slots) PCI-E GSMcard and works in the GSM
network. One GSMmodule supports one SIM card.The 3rd generation
module basedon chan_extra driver for OpenVoxGSM cards support
3G(WCDMA). With the new module, users easily get the best stability in
voice and SMS function
G400E allows users to choosethe amount of modules and SIM cards
according to their specific requirements. G400E can be implemented in
Asterisk PBX and GSMnetwork. Through this implementation, users
will realize to make an asterisk PBX with flexibility and mobility
perfectly.

while it is not fit for PCIslot (slot2, slot3, slot 4). You should confirm
your slot type, and then insert G400E into a PCI-Eslot. PCIand PCI-E
slot are showed as following:
64-bit 5.0V PCI slot
64-bit 3.3V PCI slot

2.3 Indication LEDs
There are 4 LEDs on the board.Each one indicates the working status of
each SIM card.The details explainations are as followings:
LED off: SIM card does not work
64ms On/800ms: SIM card does not find the network(64ms
On/800ms means the LED is light on 64ms then go out 800ms)
64ms On/3000ms:SIM card finds the network
64ms On/300ms: GPRScommunication

In addition, there are two LEDs located at the bottomof the boardwhich
are D8 and D9, under normal circumstances, they are lit when powered
and D9 flashes more quickly than D8.
2.4 GSM modules and SIM cards
G400E supports2Gand 3G module, detail information about 3G modules
please go to here. One GSMmodule supports one SIM card and one
antenna, please plug a SIMcard into the back of a GSMmodule and
activate it. For more details, please refer to figure 3.
2.5 Introduction of main chipset
Designed for global market, M20 is quad-band GSM/GPRSengine that
works on frequencies, GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
With a tiny configuration of 35mm ×32.5mm ×2.95 mm, M20 can fit
almost all the spacerequirement in yourapplication, such as smart phone,
PDAphone, Car Phone,Wireless PSTN,and other mobile devices.
The M20 provides RF antenna interface. Customer’s antenna should be
located in the customer’s main board and connect to module’s antenna
pad through micro strip line or other type RF traces whose impendence
must be controlled in 50Ω.
The M20 is integrated with the TCP/IPprotocol，ExtendedTCP/IPAT
commands are developed for customers to use the TCP/IP protocoleasily,

Chapter 3 Software Installation and Configuration
3.1 Hardware detection
Detect hardware by executing command:
# lspci –vvvv
Check the outcome and confirm your system has recognized G400E. If it
has been recognized, the output information will be showed like that:
01:04.0 Class ff00: Unknown device 1b74:0100 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1b74:0104
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 66
Region 0: Memory at dedf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
[size=64K]
Figure 6 Hardware detection
If G400E is not recognized by the system, you have to power off and take
out of the card, then try to insert it into another PCI-E slot.
3.2 Dependencies installation
Some dependencies are crucial, if any of them is absent, the software
installation process would not go through successfully. Let’s run "yum
install XX"(XX stands for the dependency’s name) to check the

availability of some dependencies.
# yum install bison
# yum install bison-devel
# yum install ncurses
# yum install ncurses-devel
# yum install zlib
# yum install zlib-devel
# yum install openssl
# yum install openssl-devel
# yum install gnutls-devel
# yum install gcc
# yum install gcc-c++
# yum install libxml2
# yum install libxml2-devel
If there is no kernel-devel sourcein the system, users
should run the following command to install the
kernel-devel to peer current kernel:
# yum install kernel-devel-`uname –r`
While if there is no matched kernel-devel found, you should download
matched RPMpackage to install it, or execute the following command to

updateto the latest and stable kernel version:
# yum install kernel kernel-devel
After installed, please rebootyour machine to apply the new kernel and
install the dependencies. If the dependency has been installed, system
indicates that nothing to do which means youcould go to next one
directly. Otherwise, the systemwill keep oninstalling it.
