USR-GM3 is highly-integrated UART to GSM/GPRS module, Users can easily make
communication between serial device and cellphone and network device with it.
This module is different from the common modules on the market, it is the smallest GPRS DTU,
plug-and-play device. Later version USR-GM3S will be with SIM card inside, more easier to use,
it just need power supply.

This chapter is a quick start guide for using USR-GM3 module. If it is the first time to use
USR-GM3 for you, you should read this chapter carefully, and then follow the tips, try to do
some tests by yourself. It will help you to know about USR-GM3 generally. If you have
experience of using USR-GM3, please escape this chapter.
In this chapter, you will be told how to make communication between serial device and TCP
server. Under default setting, GM3 module works in network transmission mode, it connects
to our TCP test server, address is test.usr.cn, port is 2317. The server will respond what it
receives.

1. Put SIM card into the socket on EVM, connect COM1 to PC ’ s serial port with cable.
2. Open test software ” USR-TCP232-Test ” , set right serial port number and baud rate, and
open it. As the following figure.
3. Power up the EVM with DC 5V adapter, then the POWER led will be on, several seconds
later, the WORK led will twinkle, and then GPRS LINKA led will be on.

USR-GM3 User Manual www.usr iot . c o m
Jinan USR IOT Technology Limited 5 / 52 [e-mail]
Meaning of led:
POWER “ on ” means normal power supply, “ off ” means power supply failure.
WORK “ blink ” means running correctly, “ off ” means not running.
GPRS “ on ” means attached, “ off ” means attach failure.
LINKA “ on ” means socket A has connected to server, “ off ” means not connect.
LINKB
“ on ” means socket B has connected to server, “ off ” means not connect.
DATA
“ blink ” means transmission, “ off ” means no transmission.
4. Wait for LINKA led on, send data to module via serial port. For example, if you send
“ http://www.usr.cn ” , at the same time, the DATA led will be on for a while. Then, you will get
“ http://www.usr.cn ” in the receiving window from our test server.
