Presentation
Entirely dedicated to embedded data services, the modem GenPro 325e combines HSPA / GPRS/ GSM
functions in the same robust casing.
Dedicated to industrial markets, the GenPro 325e provides by default two serial links of communication
allowing the following configurations: either two RS232C, the second one having only RX/TX signals, or one
RS232C and one RS485A.
The modem is quad-Bands (850/900//1800/1900 in 2G GSM/GPRS Class 12/EDGE.
The modem is six-Bands (Band I (2100 MHz), Band II (1900 MHz), Band IV (1700 MHz), Band V (850 MHz),
Band VI (800 MHz), Band VIII (900 MHz)) in 3G UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA.
The GenPro 325e 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_EasePro_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 EasePro_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.

"EasePro" without previous notice.
- To avoid any risk of electrocution, do not open the casing.
- For any functioning, the casing must be closed.
- No internal part can be repaired by the user. The GenPro 325e must be returned to the factory for any
repair.
- The GenPro 325e must be placed in a normally ventilated area, out of sources of heat.
- In order to guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility, the length of the serial cable, the power supply
cable and the inputs/outputs cable must not exceed 3 meters.
- The GenPro 325e must not be connected directly to the mains supply; a voltage adapter must be used.
SCRAP THE WORN BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.

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 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 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 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 modem is physically linked to a site and it is not possible to move it easily to
another site.
"Mobile" application: The 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 powered at a Very Low Security Voltage and at non-dangerous energy level.

1.2 Security in a vehicle
Do not use your modem whilst driving.
Respect the national regulations linked with the use of cellular telephones in vehicles. Road safety is always
a priority.
An incorrect installation of the 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.
The battery is not covered by the warranty when the option S0531B is installed
1.4 Your responsibility
This modem is under your responsibility. Treat it with care, it is not a toy. Keep it always in a secure place
and out of the reach of children.
Try to remember your PIN and PUK codes. Familiarize yourself with the modem and use the security
functions to lock it in case of non-authorized use or in case of theft.

Packet Switched Data Rate
HSUPA category 6, up to 5.76 Mb/s
HSDPA category 8, up to 7.2 Mb/s
WCDMA data up to 384 kb/s DL/UL
Packet Switched Data Rate (GPRS/EDGE)
GPRS multi-slot class 12, CS1-CS4 up to 85.6 kb/s DL/UL
EDGE multi-slot class 12, MCS1-MCS9 up to 236.8 kb/s DL, MCS1-MCS4 up to 70.4 kb/s
UL
GPRS / EDGE multi-slot class determines the number of timeslots available for upload and download and thus the speed at which data
can be transmitted and received, with higher classes typically allowing faster data transfer rates.
GPRS / EDGE multi-slot class 12 implies a maximum of 4 slots in DL (reception) and 4 slots in UL (transmission) with 5 slots in total.
