1. Introduction
n the above application, the PC will be able to connect to the Easy Relay device using a
GDW-11 modem connected to the GSM network. The PC will need to have an external
modem connected to establish a call to the remote location. t is not possible to use an internal
modem, as EASY-SOFT Pro only allows communication via COM ports.
This application note will explain what is required to setup a GDW-11 modem and the Easy-
Soft Pro software to enable programs to be downloaded and uploaded to the Easy Relay unit.
n order to complete these instructions you will need the following items as a pre-requisite:
CSD Enabled S M Card with a separate data number assigned
EASY-SOFT Pro V6.20
Moeller PC-CAB Serial nterface lead
GD-Tool configuration software
Straight through, male to female, 9 way serial cable (for programming GDW-11)
A suitable S M card can be bought through Westermo. We will arrange for the data number to
be assigned at the time of purchase.
f you only have EASY-SOFT Pro V6.10, update to V6.20 by using the update link within the
menu of the program.
The GD-Tool configuration software is supplied on a CD-ROM with the GDW-11, or it can be
downloaded from the Westermo website: www.westermo.co.uk
The serial cable will need to be fully terminated, GD-Tool will not work with just pins 2,3 & 5
connected!

Application Note
The main terminal window will
now be displayed. To test the
modem is responding type the
command:
AT <CR>
The modem should respond with
“OK”.
f you don’t see any characters when you type the commands, it is likely that the echo is
switched off. This will not affect the operation of the modem, but if you wish to see what
you’re typing, use the command:
ATE1<CR> (switches the echo on)
Now type the following commands in turn:
AT&D0<CR> (this will tell the modem to ignore the DTR line status)
AT&W<CR> (this will store the above setting into memory)
To dial out to the GDW-11:
ATDxxxxxxxxxxx<CR> (where xxxxxxxxxxx is the data number of the GDW-11)
Note: Remember to precede your data number with a 9, if you are calling from an internal
exchange.
Once the modem has connected, a status message will appear on the screen to indicate a
successful connection. The screen shot shown above details the sequence more obviously.
Now that the modem connection is established, it is necessary to disconnect the
Hyperterminal session to allow the EASY-SOFT Pro program to use the same COM port
connection.
t is not necessary to close Hyperterminal to
disconnect the session. Just click on the button on
the tool bar shown on the left.
