1. Introduction

The Smart SAM3S is a compact, light-weight, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA+ based modem. It
provides GSM, GPRS, UMTS and HSPA+ connectivity.

The Smart SAM3S is designed for both mobile and fixed M2M applications. It has an RJ45 socket for
input voltage and the serial RS232 signals, an FME-male for antenna connection, a SIM holder and an
LED indicator.

The Smart SAM3S is capable of sending/receiving SMS; Circuit switched data and Packet-switched data.

2. Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed whenever the Smart SAM3S modem is in operation or
in service. Failure to comply with these precautions violates the safety standards of the design,
manufacture and intended use of the product

- Switch off the Smart SAM3S modem :

 In hospitals or places where medical equipments may be in use.
 In an aircraft
 Refuelling points
 Explosive areas

- Restricted use of the Smart SAM3S modem

 Near any chemical plant
 Near any Fuel depot
 Areas with mobile phone warning signs

Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices. Road safety always comes first
The Smart SAM3S modem receives and transmit radio frequency energy while switched on, therefore

interference can occur if the Smart SAM3S is near TVs, radios, PCs or any inadequately shielded
equipment.

3. Radio frequency exposure - SAR

The Smart SAM3S modem is a low-power transceiver, similar to a typical handheld GSM/GPRS/UMTS
mobile phone. When it is turned on, it will emit low-level radio frequency energy.

There are different guidelines and standards around the world that govern the permitted levels of radio
frequency exposure for general population. The levels include a safety margin to a human body.

The Specific Absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency energy is absorbed
by the body when exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic field. The SAR value is determined at the
highest certified power level in the laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while
operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use minimum
power to connect to the network.

The Smart SAM3S modem is approved to use in applications where the antenna is placed more than

21cm from the body.

For other applications, the integrator is responsible for the local SAR requirements.

8. THE SAM3S TCP/IP Operation

The SAM3S has a MCU (Microcontroller) to control the 3G module PHS8-P, the SAM3S can be operating
in there different modes, defined by parameter SAMMODE:

-SAMMODE=0, modem is in dumb mode, when power on the MCU turn on the 3G module, check its
baud rate, turn on LED and release control of the 3G module to the connecting device, AT commands
can be send from serial port here after, the MCU keep monitor the 3G module Rx pin for AT$ commands
and check time in the POLLPERIOD parameter (to reset itself and the 3G module.

-SAMMODE=1, modem is in GPRS or PSD (Packet Switch Data) smart mode, the MCU is in total control
of the 3G module, on power up the software reads all parameters from flash and activates a GPSR
connection, it then creates an UDP and a TCP socket to listen for data transfer connection, opens an
UDP and a TCP socket to listen for remote AT commands connection, if programmed as TCP client it
will tries to connect to a remote TCP server, the modem then stays in GPRS online idle state waiting for
CSD call, SMS, UDP data or TCP connection, the software maintains GPRS connectivity by the mean of
IP TRACE using POLLPERIOD parameter stored in flash.

-SAMMODE=2, modem is in CSD (Circuit Switch Data) smart mode, this mode is used if SIM card is not
setup for GPRS, MCU is in total control of the 3G module, modem is always in waiting for CSD call or
SMS.

The reason for using SAMMODE=1 for PSD and SAMMODE=2 for CSD is because it is not possible to
configure the SAM3S for simultaneous operation of PSD and CSD, when the SAM3S (3G) is connected
to PSD (IP mode), the modem status is busy when one try to make a data call to it, this is the behaviour
the of the 3G network.

The modem supports DDNS, for SIM card that has dynamic public IP address the software can performs
dynamic DNS updating to a DNS server (supporting dyndns.com and noip.com).

The modem provides security for remote management by keeping a list of SMS sending mobile numbers,
a list of CSD calling numbers, a list of PSD sending IP addresses and username and password login,
password data is encrypted for remote transaction.

8.1 Communication Sockets

TCP Data: Socket connection allows transparent data to pass through from host computer to the

modem serial port and vice versa, this operation is similar to the CSD data
communication, in TCP server mode the socket will be disconnected after 5 minutes of
no data transfer.

UDP Data: Socket connection allows transparent data to pass through from host computer to the

modem serial port and vice versa, this operation is similar to the CSD data
communication, a block of data received from a remote UDP server will open a 2 minutes
window for data to be transfer from the serial port.

TCP AT Command: Socket connection allows a user from the host computer to send AT commands

to the modem and receive its responses, socket will be disconnected after 5 minutes of
no activity, and socket also can be used for remote firmware update.

UDP AT Command: Socket connection allows a user from the host computer to send AT commands

to the modem and receive its responses, and socket also can be used for remote
firmware update.

LUDPPORT=Local binding UDP port (modem listen for UDP data on this port)
RUDPIP=Remote binding UDP IP (modem only accept data from this IP)
RUDPPORT=Remote binding UDP port (modem send UDP data to this port)
POLLPERIOD=Modem use this time to send TRACE packet to check for GPRS connectivity.
SBREAKTIME=Serial port break time, modem will wait for this break in serial port transmission before

packetize the data and send.

AT$SMSTOSERIALON

This command allows the connecting device to receive SMS notification for 300s: e.g. “+CMTI:

"SM",1”, the connecting device must send AT+CMGR to read SMS and AT+CMGD to delete it,

during this 300s period, modem will not able to decode AT$ commands sending to it over SMS.

8.3 CSD Call Escape Sequence

During CSD call to the Smart SAM3S modem, send three consecutive EscEscEsc or hex number
sequence 0x1B 0x1B 0x1B to switch the modem between data mode and remote AT commands mode.

Notices

-In SAMMODE=0, after power on the MCU turns on the 3G module, checks its baud rate, turns on LED
before releases control of the 2G module to the connecting device, all this take between 5 to 10
seconds, so the modem is only ready for AT commands here after.

-In SAMMODE=1, the modem take 30 to 60 seconds to connect to GPRS, modem only response to AT
commands from serial port once it is connected to GPRS or after it has failed , if it failed to connect it will
reset after 120 seconds.

-In SAMMODE=2, the MCU take about 20 seconds to set up the 3G module , the modem only response
to AT commands from serial port after setting up is finished.

-In SAMMODE 1 and 2 if the SAM3S modem is powered up without a SIM card it will go into AT
command mode after 20 seconds.

The parameter POLLPERIOD which keep the time in minute which when expired will reset the modem
if SAMMODE=0 or SAMMODE=2, if SAMMODE=1 for PSD mode the modem will use this time to send

TRACE IP packet to check for network connectivity.

-In SAMMODE=1 and 2 the modem can be reset remotely by calling the voice number.
