HOW IT WORKS IN MODEM MODE
Referring to the flow chart on the next page, the TX/RX and LAN indicators are used to
indicate a specific stage of initialization, data connection, as well as firmware download.
They are explained below (by number).
1) Initializing
After powering on, the TX/RX and LAN indicators will flash by turns at the time
interval of 0.25 seconds for about 30 seconds, indicating the cradle is in initialization
process.
2) Initialization OK
If initialization is done successfully, the LAN indicator will flash at the time interval of
1 second, waiting for AT commands.
3) Initialization NG
If initialization fails, the TX/RX indicator will flash at the time interval of 0.5 seconds,
indicating an error occurs. For example, it might fail to pass PIN authentication, the
signal strength is weak for the GSM network, the Access Point name is incorrect, etc.
For details on the specific initialization error, use “
Although initialization fails, the cradle can still accept AT commands. In case of the
ATDT” command, it will re-initialize before dialing out.
“
AT+ERR?” to get the error code.
4) Dialing out
When in Dial mode (
ATDT), the LAN indicator will flash at the time interval of 0.3
seconds for about 20 seconds.
5) Connected
When in Dial mode (
ATDT), the LAN indicator will be green after successfully
establishing a connection.
6) Data Transmission
When in Dial mode (
ATDT), the TX/RX indicator will flash as long as data transmission
occurs.
7) Download Ready/Downloading
When in Download mode (

Chapter 2 How It Works in Modem Mode
2.1 DIALING OUT
When the mobile computer is seated in the cradle, it can send the collected data back to
a remote server, as well as download lookup files, via GSM or 3G/GPRS.
When dialing out (
ATDT), the LED of LAN will flash at the time interval of 0.3 seconds for
about 20 seconds. When connected, the LED of LAN will be green after successfully
establishing a connection. The LED of TX/RX will flash as long as data transmission
occurs.
Note: It is suggested to issue the command “
AT” every five seconds for best practice, in
order to check whether the mobile computer is seated in the cradle.
The escape sequence, consisting of three characters “
+++”, is used to terminate
the data connection.
2.1.1 GSM CONNECTION
When initialization is done, issue ATDT(phone number) to establish data connection via
GSM.
Note: This type of connection is only available for 2G SIM Card.
2.1.2 3G/GPRS CONNECTION
When initialization is done, issue ATDTxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:kkkk or ATDT[HostName:Port] to
establish data connection via 3G/GPRS. The buffer size of the cradle is 1460 bytes, and
data packet will be sent out as long as it satisfies any of the following requirements:
buffer is full (= maximum packet size is 1460 bytes)
delimiter character is encountered
end of transmission timeout (= no transmission for 5 milliseconds)
