wi h GSM ne work an ex ernal an enna mus be used. Type of an enna depends on GSM
coverage. In good circums ances (level of received signal is high) use an enna which is
a ached in he package. If range of GSM is low or none, an ou door or indoor (for ins ance
in place where GSM range is sufficien ) an enna should be used.
Note: If there is no antenna connected to SMA connector, the connection with GSM
network is impossible.
5.2.2 GPS antenna connector

•Connec he an enna o he SMA connec or
•Op ionally i can be connec ed using RS-232 and miniUSB cables
•Plug he power supply cable o he power supply inpu
•Now he modem is ready o work.
7.2 Mounting the modem
7.2.1 On DIN bus
To moun modem on DIN bus ins all DIN handle as shown below
19

7.2.2 On the wall
To moun modem on he wall ins all wall handles as shown below.
7.3 Checking the communication with the modem
Once he modem is connec ed you can check communica ion be ween RB900 erminal
and he PC using Teli AT Con roller available here:
http://www.teleorigin.com/file_upl/pliki/1/Telit_AT_Controller_r3_1_2.zip
You can use any Terminal program also. Configura ion of he DTE (por COM) should be
as follows:
•Bi s per second: 115200 bps,
•Da a bi s: 8,
•Pari y: None,
•S op bi s: 1,
•Flow con rol: hardware.
To communica e wi h modem use sof ware such as Hyper erminal (AT commands) or use
a ached Teli AT Con roller.
Using a communica ion sof ware such as Hyper erminal, en er he AT and push 'enter'
bu on. The response of he erminal should be 'OK' displayed in he Hyper erminal
window.
If he connec ion wi h he modem canno be es ablished do he following:
•Check if modem is connec ed wi h PC via RS-232 or USB.
•Check he configura ion of he COM por .
Examples of AT commands:
•ATE1 enables modem echo func ion,
•AT+CGMI modem answers “Mo orola” when connec ion is OK.
•AT+CPIN? shows curren s a us of SIM card
•AT+CPIN=xxxx o en er PIN, where 'xxxx' are digi als
