Power & Serial Connector, RJ45

The ETM8xxx-xxx modems utilise a single RJ45 socket (or plug for -4 versions) for connection of
serial interface and power.

The RS232 Port is the primary interface for the application software and connection to external
devices. ET/AT commands are used to communicate with the terminal.

Antenna

The ETM8xxx-xxx Terminal has a standard FME M antenna Plug on the end of an approximately
120mm cable.

FME M Antenna Connector

SIM Card

The SIM card connector is located on the underside of the ETM8xxx-xxx Terminal. The unit
supports both 3V or 1.8V SIMs. Any SIM card used needs to be correctly provisioned for the
services and network upon which it is intended to be used.

If the terminal is intended to be used for remote access to a device a terminating data number for
Circuit Switch Data (CSD) MAY need to be provisioned by the network operator, this number will
usually differ from any voice/SMS number, eg for Telstra;

◩ Telstra NextG® SIMs when used for CSD requires 2620 bearer capability

SIM Pin

If the SIM used has a PIN either;

 The unit can be configured to enter the SIM pin, refer configuration tool section

OR

 The SIM PIN should be deactivated, insert the SIM in a mobile phone and deactivate then

transfer the SIM into the ETM8xxx-xxx unit.

Caution

Always disconnect power supply before
inserting or removing SIM Card.

Care should be taken in inserting and
removing the SIM card so as not to
dama

g

e the SIM holder or cover.
