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..

3.4 Power supply
If the battery option is present, the fact of removing the power supply +V
DC
will not turn the
modem OFF. For this, see the § 5.2 Turning the modem OFF
3.4.1 Power supply cables
The modem is powered with the cable supplied with the equipment (ERCOGENER reference: 4402000107
or 4402304215). (See § ANNEX 1 – 4-pin Micro-FIT cable )

See ANNEX 1 – 4-pin Micro-FIT cable without fuse, ANNEX 2 –
4-wire Micro-FIT cable with fuse
The pins 1 and 2 are used for the functions Input/Output.
The power supply to the modem is done only via the pins 4 (+V
DC
) and 3 (GND).
3.4.2 Power supply
The modem must be powered by an external DC voltage (+V
DC
) between:
Standard
+7.2V ≤ +V
DC
≤ +32V
With battery option
+8V ≤ +V
DC
≤ +32V
The internal regulation is done by a DC/DC converter and allows the supply of all necessary internal DC
voltages.
The modem is also internally protected against voltage peaks of more than 32 V
DC
.
The following table describes the consequences of an overvoltage or drop of voltage on the modem.
Table 6 : Effects of power supply defect
Then:
Voltage falls below 7.2V
The functioning and the radio communication are not
guaranteed.
Voltage above 32V (Punctual
peaks)
The modem guarantees its own protection.
Voltage above 32V (Continuous
overvoltage)
The modem is protected by an internal resettable
fuse.

3.4.3 Internal battery option (S0531B)
This battery allows to maintain the operation of the GenPro 325e in case of absence of its external power
supply.
The internal charging circuit allows to keep permanently the charge of the battery from the external power
supply.
When the battery is completely discharged, 4 h are necessary to obtain a new complete charge. It is normal
if the box is becoming a little bit hot in this case.
The autonomy of the battery mainly depends on the mode of use of the GenPro 325e (attachment in
3G/GPRS/GSM, Inputs/Outputs, RS232 connected...).
In the case where the software management of the battery guarantees that the voltage V
BAT
does not goes below 3,3 V, with a battery having 3 charging cycles and completely charged,
the autonomy is around:
1h in WCDMA Band I communication, serial link not connected, no input output
connected, max. power.
4h in GPRS communication - 900 MHz - 1Rx/1Tx P = 29.2 dBm, serial link not
connected, no input output connected, max. power.
11h attached to GPRS network without data transfer, serial link not connected, no
input output connected, max. power.
When the battery is charged, it is not possible to do an ON/OFF of the device. Only putting the
Reset input (pin 10 of the 16-pin Micro-FIT connector) to the Ground or sending the command
AT+EGMRST allows a reset of the modem.
When the temperature exceeds 45 °C inside the box, the protection of the battery management
triggers. The battery will not be charged..
If the battery is present, prepare the modem for storage or transport conditions, in order to
limit high discharges of the battery. For this, see § 5.2 Turning the modem OFF
Table 7 : Characteristics of the polymer lithium battery
The battery cannot be replaced or modified by the user; the device must never be opened.
For any intervention on the battery: the device must be returned to the factory.
Do not throw the modem and the battery on fire.

3.6.1 Connection recommendations
The use of rigid wires is recommended.
In the case of use of flexible multi-stranded wires, and in order to guarantee a correct insertion, using needle-
nose pliers is mandatory.
As the spring contact connector is soldered on the printed circuit, the method of intermediate connection is
recommended, in case it would be necessary to disconnect the device.

The wires extraction is strongly NOT recommended; in case of absolute necessity, they have
to be pulled gently.
3.6.1.1 Connection with intermediate connector
Using rigid wires of 0.75mm² diameter and 5 cm length between the GenPro 325e and the connector allows
an easy connection and minimizes the risks of interference.
The outgoing wires can have a diameter less important.

5 Use of the modem
5.1 Specific recommendations for the use of the modem in vehicles
The power supply connector of the modem GenPro 325e must NEVER be connected directly
to the battery of the vehicle.
5.1.1 Recommended connection on the battery of a truck
All trucks have a circuit breaker outside the cabin. The circuit breaker is used for security reasons:
The circuit breaker is connected to the ground of the truck, usually connected to the fuse box.
Most of truck circuit breakers do not cut the
+ 'PLUS' of the battery, but cut its 'GROUND'.
Figure 23 : Recommended connection on the battery of a truck
The scheme above shows a recommended power connection where the connection of the modem ground is
not directly connected to the battery, but connected after the circuit breaker (on the ground of the truck or in
the fuse box).
If this scheme is not respected, the modem can be damaged when starting the truck if the
circuit breaker is open. It cannot support important starting currents.

without the written consent of ERCOGENER SAS Dct_426_02
5.2 Turning the modem OFF
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case, it is strongly advised to un-register from the network with the command
AT+COPS=2
When the battery is present (Option S0531B), a mechanism allows to stop completely the
application if the external power supply is unplugged, and also to prepare the modem for
storage or transport, in order to limit high discharges of the battery.
If the device is not used, it has to be deactivated by sending the following command:
If the modem contains an application developed with EGM
Disconnect the external power supply of the modem.
And send the command AT+GPIOSET=35,0
If the modem does not contain any embedded application, via the Boot-Loader menu
Bootloader V4.20 GP325 UA Gener SAM7SE256B Ublox (HWE4 rev A/B)
GSM voltage = 3628 mV
1 - Update application
2 - Erase objects
M - GSM direct access (external supply required)
A - Advanced
P - Power off
E – Exit
Disconnect the external power supply of the modem.
And Enter "P"
Important note: The switching of the battery and its auto-maintain will be automatically
reactivated once the modem will be plugged again to its external power
supply.

5.4.1.5 The owner application
The GenPro 325e contains your application.
Set the RS232 port of the DTE according to your parameters (speed, data bits, parity and stop bit).
Check the display and the dialogue with the GenPro 325e according to your own characteristics.
5.5 Checking the quality of the GSM reception signal
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case, the modem will be able to make a call only if the received GSM signal is
powerful enough.
The command AT+CSQ allows to know the reception level (rssi) of the signal sent by the closest GSM Base
Transceiver Station (BTS), as well as the reception error code (g).
When the SIM card is inserted and the PIN code entered, the command AT+CSQ allows to measure the
signal from the BTS of the subscribed operator network.
This command cannot be used without the SIM card.
To check the quality of the GSM signal, do the following operations:
Use a communication software like Hyperterminal, enter the command AT+CSQ.
The response has the following format:
+CSQ : <rssi>, <ber> with:
<rssi> = indicates the reception level,
<ber> = receive bit error rate.
Check the returned value <rssi> with the help of the table below.
Table 36 : RSSI value
Value of <rssi> Gain in dbm Interpretation Value of <ber> Interpretation
0 -113 dbm Insufficient 0 to 7
See Standards ETSI
GSM 05.08
1 to 10 -111 to -95 dbm Insufficient
11 to 30 -93 to -53 dbm Sufficient
31 (max) -51dbm Perfect
99 Unknown/not detectable 99 Unknown/not detectable
For a normal operation in GSM, the minimum <rssi> must be between 11 and 15.
Below 10, the signal level is insufficient, the modem cannot work depending on the geographical
situation or the vehicle mobility. Above 15, the signal is sufficient.
This does not apply for UMTS communications where the level can be a lot lower.
For more information about the AT commands, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER.

5.6 Verification of PIN code
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case, the PIN code is necessary to make a call or to accept a response coming from
the GSM network. This code is held in the SIM card and can be modified by the user.
To check that the PIN code has been entered, use a communication software like Hyperterminal, and enter
the command AT+CPIN?
The table below shows the main responses given by the modem:
Table 37 : Verification of PIN code
Command Response Interpretation
AT+CPIN?
+CPIN : ERROR
The SIM card is absent or not
recognized
+CPIN : READY
The PIN code is correct
+CPIN : SIM PIN
The PIN code is wrong or not entered
yet
+CPIN : SIM PUK
The PUK code is required
For more information about the AT commands, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER.
5.7 Verification of modem registration on cellular network
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case:
1. Make sure that a valid SIM card is inserted in the SIM card reader of the modem.
2. Use a communication software like Hyperterminal, and enter the following AT commands:
a. AT+CPIN="xxxx" to enter the PIN code. The user has only 3 attempts to enter the PIN code. After
the third attempt, only a second code (code PUK) supplied by the operator, will allow you to choose
a new PIN code.
b. AT+CREG? to check the registration status on the network. The response has the following
format:+CREG : <mode>, <stat> with :
<Mode> = configuration of the registration message not solicited,
<Stat> = registration status.
3. Check the registration status according to the value returned in the table below.
Table 38 : Verification of modem registration on cellular network

If the modem is not registered: check the connection between the modem and the antenna or the
reception level of the signal (cf. paragraph 5.5 Checking the quality of the GSM reception signal ).
For more information about AT commands, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER.
5.1 Verification of modem registration on GPRS network
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
ERCOGENER); in this case:
1. Make sure that a valid SIM card is inserted in the SIM card reader of the modem.
2. Use a communication software like Hyperterminal, and enter the following AT commands:
a. AT+CPIN="xxxx" to enter the PIN code. The user has only 3 attempts to enter the PIN code. After
the third attempt, only a second code (code PUK) supplied by the operator, will allow you to choose
a new PIN code.
b. AT+CGREG? to check the registration status on the network. The response has the following
format :+CGREG : <mode>, <stat> with:
<Mode> = configuration of the registration message not solicited,
<Stat> = registration status.
3. Check the registration status according to the value returned in the table below.
Table 39 : Verification of modem registration on GPRS network
Command Response Interpretation
AT+CREG?
+CGREG : 0,0
The modem is not recognized by the
network.
+CGREG : 0,2 or 0,3
The modem is searching for a network
operator.
+CGREG : 0,1
The modem is attached in GPRS to the
local operator.
+CGREG : 0,5
The modem is attached in GPRS to the
roaming operator.
If the modem is not registered: check the connection between the modem and the antenna or the
reception level of the signal (cf. paragraph 5.5 Checking the quality of the GSM reception signal ).
For more information about the AT commands, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of
