Hardware Installation
1. Insert or Remove SIM Card
Please ensure to insert the SIM card before starting. If the PIN of the SIM
card is unlocked, and if the corresponding PIN code is incorrect at the time
of device configuration, the SIM card is unavailable.
Insert or remove the SIM card as shown in the following steps.
Insert SIM card
1. Make sure the modem is powered off.
2. To insert SIM card, press the card with finger until you hear a click.
Remove SIM card
1. Make sure the modem is powered off.
2. To remove SIM card, press the card with finger until it pops out, and
then take out the card.
Note:
1. Recommended torque for inserting is 0.5 N.m, and the maximum
allowed is 0.7 N.m.
2. Use the specific card when the device is working in extreme
temperature (temperature exceeding 40 °C ), because the regular card
for long-time working in harsh environment will be disconnected
frequently.
3. Do not touch the metal of the card surface in case information in the
card will lose or be destroyed.
4. Do not bend or scratch the card.
5. Keep the card away from electricity and magnetism.
6. Make sure the modem is powered off before inserting or removing the
card.
2. Attach External Antenna (SMA Type)
Attach an external SMA antenna to the modem’s antenna connector and
twist tightly. Make sure the antenna is within the correct frequency range
provided by the ISP and with 50 Ohm impedance.
Note: Recommended torque for tightening is 0.35 N.m.
3. Connect the Modem to External Device
Connect a serial cable to the DB9 female connector at the bottom of the
M1000 MP Modem, and connect the other end of the cable to an external
controller or computer. Here takes RS-232 port as an example.

- 5 -
Connect an USB cable to the mini USB connector at the bottom of the
M1000 MP Modem, and connect the other end of the cable to an external
controller or computer.
4. Mount the Modem
The modem can be placed on a desktop or mounted to a wall or a 35 mm
DIN rail.
Two methods for mounting the modem
Wall mounting (measured in mm)
Use 3 pcs of ST2.9*6 pan head self-tapping Phillips screws to fix the
wall mounting kit to the modem, and then use 2 pcs of M3 drywall
screws to mount the modem associated with the wall mounting kit on
the wall.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the
maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.
DIN rail mounting (measured in mm)
Use 3 pcs of ST2.9*8 pan head self-tapping Phillips screws to fix the
DIN rail to the modem, and then hang the DIN rail on the mounting
bracket. It is necessary to choose a standard bracket.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the
maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.

5. Power Supply
M1000 MP supports reverse polarity protection, but always refers to the
figure above to connect the power adapter correctly. There are two cables
associated with the power adapter. Following to the color of the head,
connect the cable marked red to the positive pole through a terminal block,
and connect the yellow one to the negative in the same way. The last step is
to plug the power adapter into your socket.
Note: The range of power voltage is 6 to 18V DC (for 2G model) or 6 to 26V
DC (for 3G model).

Modem Operation
You can use AT commands to operate and configure the M1000 MP Modem
through the mini USB port or serial port. This chapter will mainly introduce
AT commands examples about how to configure the M1000 MP Modem.
1. AT Command Set
M1000 MP supports the guidelines known as “AT Command Set”. AT
Command Set is an industry standard line-oriented command language
used to communicate with the modem. You can enter AT commands to
configure the M1000 MP Modem by serial software, such as SecureCRT.
Download link: https://app.box.com/s/arkn6xk1asgs1myvuuie
Start SecureCRT
1. Double-click “SecureCRT Potable.exe” to open the software.
2. Click File > Connect, and create a new session.
3. Choose “Serial”as the protocol.
4. Choose the relevant COM port and match the parameters as below,
then click “Next”.
Note: Please be sure to configure the parameters as following: 115200,
8, n, 1, and disable “RTS/CTS”.

2. Using Short Message Service
Cellular technology offers the benefit of using SMS (short message service)
as an easy way to communicate over the mobile network. The following
topics are covered in this chapter:
Sending a Short Message
1. Type AT+CMGF=1 and press Enter.
2. Type AT+CMGS=“<phone number>” and press Enter. The terminal will
automatically move to the next line, which starts with a “>”. Type your
message on the right of the “>”.
3. Enter Ctrl + Z to deliver the message.
Note: AT+CMGF=1 is used to set the SMS as Text mode.
AT Command Examples
Following are some examples of the AT commands. For more detailed
description, please refer to the AT command guide for the module.

Reading a Short Message
1. Type AT+CMGF=1 and press Enter.
2. Type AT+CNMI=2,1 and press Enter.
3. When a short message is received, the window will show +CMIT:
“SM”, x, in which the x is the index number for SMS save position.
4. Type AT+CMGR=x to read the message, in which the x is the index
number for SMS save position.
5. The x=5 means that the message is stored in the 5th storage location,
as shown below.
Deleting a Short Message
Type AT+CMGD=x,n and press Enter.
Here the x represents one of the following options:
“REC UNREAD” showing the unread messages
“REC READ” showing the read messages
“STO UNSENT” showing the unsent and saved messages
“STO SENT” showing the sent messages
“ALL” showing all the messages
Here the n represents one of the following options:
0 Delete the message in the save position, including the index number
1 Delete all read messages
2 Delete all read and sent messages
3 Delete all read, send, and unsent messages
4 Delete all messages
Note: The SMS sending command may a little different vary from
module to module. For the specific command of different module, the
corresponding AT document shall prevail, or contact our Technical
Support.
