6.2 E ternal connections
6.2.1 Antenna connector
SMA antenna input is used to connect external GSM antenna. To establish connection
with GSM network an external antenna ust be used. Type of antenna depends on GSM
coverage. In good circu stances (level of received signal is high) use antenna which is
attached in the package. If range of GSM is low or none, an outdoor or indoor (for instance
in place where GSM range is sufficient) antenna should be used.
Note: If there is no antenna connected to SMA connector, the connection with GSM
network is impossible.
6.2.2 Memory slot
RB800 can be optionally equipped with e ory card slot to store all the easured
data. The slot type is icroSD. Me ory card can be controlled only by Python script using
special AT co ands which is sends through SER2 interface, see chapter Python Script
Interpreter and AT Reference manual.

Connect the antenna to the SMA connector
Optionally it can be connected using RS-232 and iniUSB cables
Plug the power supply cable to the power supply input
Now the ode is ready to work.
8.2 Mounting the modem
8.2.1 On DIN bus
To ount ode on DIN bus install DIN handle as shown below
17

8.2.2 On the wall
To ount ode on the wall install wall handles as shown below.
8.3 Checking the communication with the modem
Once the ode is connected you can check co unication between RB800 ter inal
and the PC using Telit AT Controller available here:
http://teleorigin.com/file_upl/pliki/1/Telit_AT_Controller.zip
You can use any Ter inal progra also. Configuration of the DTE (port COM) should be
as follows:
Bits per second: 115200 bps,
Data bits: 8,
Parity: None,
Stop bits: 1,
Flow control: hardware.
To co unicate with ode use software such as Hyperter inal (AT co ands) or use
attached Telit AT Controller.
Using a co unication software such as Hyperter inal, enter the AT and push 'enter'
button. The response of the ter inal should be 'OK' displayed in the Hyperter inal
window.
If the connection with the ode cannot be established do the following:
Check if ode is connected with PC via RS-232 or USB.
Check the configuration of the COM port.
Exa ples of AT co ands:
ATE1 enables ode echo function,
AT+CGMI ode answers “Motorola” when connection is OK.
AT+CPIN? shows current status of SIM card
AT+CPIN= to enter PIN, where 'xxxx' are digitals
18

AT+CSQ to verify received signal strength
ATD<phone_number>; to initiate a voice call
ATH to hang up a voice call
For further infor ation about AT co ands and their usage, refer to [1].
8.4 Status of the modem (LEDs)
The operational status of the RB800 Ter inal is signalized by external LEDs placed on
the front panel of the ode .
The table below shows what is the eaning of LEDs.
LED
na e
LED colour Description
DATA blue Software controlled:
In GPRS ode variant: AT#GPIO=5,1,1 – diode ON, AT#GPIO=5,0,1 – diode OFF
In UMTS ode variant: AT#GPIO=5,0,1 – diode ON, AT#GPIO=5,1,1 – diode OFF
GSM orange Software controlled using AT#SLED (GPRS ode variant) or AT#GPIO=8 and
AT#SLED (UMTS ode variant):
Blinking every second – ode is not logged on to GSM network
Blinking every 3 seconds – ode is logged on to GSM network.
PWR green Lights when ode is power on
8.5 Disabling and enabling echo function
If echo is not displayed when entering AT co and, that eans:
The local echo function in software (such as Hyperter inal) is disabled
The echo function of the ode is disabled
To enable echo function of the ode enter ATE1 co and.
In Machine to Machine co unication it is reco ended to disable echo function (type
ATE0) in order to avoid useless CPU processing.
For further infor ation about AT co ands and their usage, refer to [1].
19

8.6 Verifying the strength of received signal
RB800 ter inal can establish connection with network if the received signal strength is
sufficiently strong.
To verify the signal strength and bit error rate, do the following:
Using software such as Hyperter inal enter AT+CSQ. This co and displays the
received signal strength indication <rssi> and channel bit error rate <ber>. The ode
answers as follows:
+CSQ: <rssi>,<ber>
OK
<para eter> Description
<rssi> 0 through 31 - covers the range of -113 db (or less) to -51db (or greater)
<ber> Channel bit error rate (in percent)
0–7 RXQUAL values in the GSM 05.08 table
99 Unknown or not detectable
For further infor ation about AT co ands and their usage, refer to [1].
8.7 PIN code status
To check PIN code status enter AT+CPIN? Co and.
The table below shows the ost interesting responses of the ode :
Answer Description
+CPIN: SIM PIN PIN code has not been entered
+CPIN: EADY PIN code has been entered correctly
For further infor ation about AT co ands and their usage, refer to [1].
