Presentation
Entirely dedicated to geolocation and embedded data services, the modem GenLoc 354e combines the
GSM / GPRS / HSPA and GNSS functions in the same robust casing.
The GNSS data can be transmitted by SMS or data communication GSM/GPRS/HSPA.
This product includes the 72-channel GNSS function. The high sensitivity GNSS solution ensures the data
collection in difficult environments.
The modem is Quad-Bands (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS Class 12.
The modem is six-bands (I, II, IV, V, VI, VIII) UMTS / HSPA.
The GenLoc 354e provides 3 operating modes depending on the embedded application:
External mode (standard): The control is done by an external application. The modem is used with
the AT command set (see Commands List EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy of ERCOGENER).
Autonomous mode: Once configured, the modem is autonomous; it cyclically registers the positions
and automatically transmits them to the client’s application via different services: SMS, GSM Data,
TCP socket GPRS/UMTS (see EG_EaseLoc_Vx_CL_yyy_UK of ERCOGENER).
Specific development mode: the EGM development tool allows the development of additional and
customized embedded applications. For more information about the tools and the training, please
contact our sales department.
Its protocols of IP connectivity integrated in the embedded application EaseLoc_Vx, are also available under
EGM libraries for a specific development, allowing a quick installation of embedded telematics solutions with
strong added-value.
This document describes the modem and provides the following information:
- General presentation,
- Functional description,
- Available basic services,
- Installation and use of the modem (first level),
- Recommended accessories for the use of the modem.

1 Security recommendations
1.1 General security
It is important to respect the specific regulations linked with the use of radio equipment, in particular with the
possible risks of interference due to radio frequency (RF). Please respect carefully the following security
recommendations.
Turn OFF your GSM modem:
On an aircraft, the use of cellular telephones can endanger the plane operations; disturbing the
cellular network is illegal. The non-observance of this instruction can lead to the suspension or the
exclusion of the cellular phone services, or even to a trial, or both,
At a refueling station,
In any area with a potential explosive atmosphere that could cause an explosion or a fire,
In hospitals and other places where medical equipment may be used.
Restrictions of use of radio equipment in:
Fuel warehouses,
Chemical factories,
Places where destruction operations are in the running,
Other places where signs indicate that the use of cellular phones is prohibited or dangerous.
Other places where you should normally turn OFF the engine of your vehicle.
There can be a danger associated with the use of your GSM modem close to insufficiently protected medical
equipment such as audio devices and pacemakers.
Consult the manufacturers of medical equipment to know if it is adequately protected.
Using your GSM modem close to other electronic equipment may also cause interferences if the equipment
is insufficiently protected.
Pay attention to the warnings and the recommendations of the manufacturers.
The modem is designed to be used with "fixed" and "mobile" applications:
“Fixed" application: The GSM modem is physically linked to a site and it is not possible to move it
easily to another site.
"Mobile" application: The GSM modem is designed to be used in various places (other than fixed) and
is intended to be used in portable applications.
The modem must be used at more than 20cm from the human body.
This equipment is supplied in Very Low Security Voltage and at non-dangerous energy level.
Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only.
ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications.

1.2 Security in a vehicle
Do not use your Modem whilst driving, unless equipped with a correctly installed ear-piece/hands-free kit.
Respect the national regulations linked with the use of cellular telephones in vehicles. Road safety is always
a priority.
An incorrect installation of the GSM modem in a vehicle could cause an incorrect functioning of the vehicle’s
electronics. To avoid such problems, make sure that the installation was made by a qualified person. During
the installation, a verification of the electronic protection system of the vehicle must be done.
The use of a warning equipment that activates the headlights or the horn of a vehicle on a public highway is
not authorized.
1.3 Care and maintenance
The following suggestions will help you to preserve this product for many years.
Do not expose the modem to the extreme environments, to high temperature or high humidity.
Do not use or store the modem in dusty or dirty places, it could be damaged.
Do not try to disassemble the modem, at the risk of cancelation of the guarantee.
Do not expose the modem to water, rain or spilled beverage, it is not impermeable.
Avoid dropping, striking, or shaking the modem violently. The lack of care can damage it.
Do not place the modem next to computer disks, credit or travel cards or other magnetic supports. The
information contained on disks or cards can be affected by the modem.
The use of other equipment or accessories not made or not authorized by ERCOGENER can cancel the
warranty of the modem.
