3. Configuring FM3101 Module
Nokia 12 Configurator is used to start new modules and prepare them for work. For this few
requirements are to be met: SIM cards must have activated SMS and GPRS services, VPN or global
Internet access, static IP address and roaming function enabled. SIM card provider should also
present you with the following SIM card data: phone number, SMS center number, CHAP user
name and password (if any), access point name (APN) and static IP address (not necessary but
highly recommended).
For general use of configurator a computer with COM port (RS232) and installed Nokia
(Aplicom) 12 Configurator (available on TrakGPS CD included in the package) application is
needed as well as configuration files. To connect the module to the computer, FM3101 cable
marked PORT 1/2 is used.
PORT 1/2 cable is used to operate module with Configurator while plugged to
PORT 2 in the device, and for monitoring purposes while plugged in PORT 3 of the
device. PORT 3 cable is used as GPS serial output NMEA (could be used for
navigation in the vehicle when connected to portable PC).
3.1 Connecting
For the first time, when launching Nokia 12 Configurator, you need to specify what port it
will use to connect to module. Plug the cable to FM3101 Port2. Click "File" -"Preferences". In the
new window mark "M2M system protocol", choose the Communication Port that you are using
and set Baud Rate to 115200. Enter SIM card’s, which is inserted in the module, PIN code and
click "Ok". The picture below shows the main window with operators name or logo.
