1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The MTX-65i modems family is an innovative and powerful all-in-one solution that enables GSM,
SMS, fax and 2.5G (GPRS) data transmission. It has an intrinsic TCP/IP communication stack with
Internet Services such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and POP3.
The MTX-65i is Java J2ME programmable and can host and control your wireless applications,
minimizing the need for extra hardware components.
It has a complete set of interfaces (RS232, RS485, USB, Analog audio, GPIO, I2C, optoisolated IOs,
Analog-to-Digital converter) avoiding need for further hardware components, shortening the time to
market and reducing costs. It also has a wide range of options (depending on the model) allowing it
to be used in infinite M2M applications:
Ultra Low Power: 2.5µA power consumption in sleep mode. Ideal in remote-battery
operated systems
GNSS module inside: GPS and GLONASS receiver modules allows track & location
applications. GLONASS feature must be ordered as an option
Hardware Watchdog and internal Li-Po battery
RS485 port: isolated input/output for industrial use
Please read Section 1.3 to view the specific features of each modem.
The MTX-65i family is industrially featured: the modem can be used in industrial environments due
to its extended operating temperature range. It also features an automatic restart after shutdown
function in case of power glitches or faulty conditions.
The MTX-65i is a self contained modem with its own SIM card holder, USB 2.0 High Speed and
RS232/485 interfaces (among others), which minimize the need for further hardware development.
This modem can be used as a powerful and flexible device that can be integrated in a wide range of
telemetry applications that rely on the remote exchange of data, SMS or faxes via the GSM cellular
network.
With quad-band 900/1800MHz and 850/1900MHz, your applications can be deployed all over the
world.
The MTX-65i modems can also be controlled via AT commands and standard interfaces such us USB
2.0 High Speed or RS232 with Linux and Windows® drivers.
The MTX-65i family is RoHS & WEEE compliant and it is manufactured following the ISO 9001 & IS0
14001 Quality certifications.
A full list of antennas, cables and accessory supplies are available.
The MTX-65i modems are powered by an internal Cinterion® TC65i module

1.4 Differences between MTX-65i+G V6 and MTX-65+G V3
MTX-65i+G V6 is an enhanced version of the old MTX-65+G V3 modem, with full backwards
compatibility but with differences in its functional features
Internal Hardware Watchdog
A hardware watchdog can be used to restart the module inside. By default, the watchdog is not
active. It is handled by two GPIOs.
MTX-65+g V6 has a new internal hardware watchdog component which allows the module to be
reset when the internal Java program is not refreshed in a period of 120 seconds, meaning that it
hang-ups or does not respond in this time.
The internal GSM module has been changed from TC65 to TC65i:
o ARM9 MTX65i+G V6 vs. ARM7 in MTX-65+G V3. More computational power
o Operational temperature range has been extended to support restricted operation
down to -40ºC
o Lower current consumption in all sleep modes, cut down to less than the half the
range of TC65. When in Idle mode, the current is about 40% lower than TC65
o In transfer modes the current consumption has been minimized by up to 50%
depending the connection type
o Manufacturer Name, USB Vendor ID changed from Siemens to Cinterion
o With TC65i, Cinterion introduces an improved multiband selection procedure.
o TC65i provides dedicated Java APIs for direct access to module interfaces: I2C, SPI,
DAC and ADC.
o Simple AGPS feature
The internal GPS module has been changed
o A Condor C1216 GS module can be put in low power and active mode with the NMEA
command
o NMEA command for GPS antenna supervision is available
o Better sensitivity. 5Hz update rate
Added I2C bus IO expander chip (optional)

1.7 Main features and services
The MTX-65i performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to GSM standard phase 2+, ETSI and
ITU-T. The services and functions of the MTX-65i are implemented by issuing customized applications
embedded on the device, by AT commands issued internally or over the USB, RS232 or RS485
interface.
1.7.1 Key features at a glance
The MTX-65i is a GSM/GPRS band mobile station with the characteristics shown in the table below.
Feature

General
Frequency bands
GSM/GPRS: Quad band, 850/900/1800/1900MHz

JavaTM Open
Platform
JavaTM Virtual Machine with APIs for amongst others AT Parser, Serial Interface, FlashFile System and
TCP/IP Stack.
Major benefits: seamless integration into Java applications, ease of programming, no need for
application microcontroller, extremely cost-efficient hardware and software design – an ideal
platform for industrial GSM applications.
The memory space available for Java programs is around 1.7MB in the flash file system and around
6MB RAM. Application code and data share the space in the flash file system and in the RAM.

Access by AT commands
Remote SIM
Access
MTX-65i supports Remote SIM Access. RSA enables MTX-65i to use a remote SIM card via its serial
interface and an external application, in addition to the SIM card locally attached to the modem. The
connection between the external application and the remote SIM card can be a Bluetooth wireless
link or a serial link. The necessary protocols and procedures are implemented according to the “SIM
Access Profile Interoperability Specification of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group”
Firmware update
Firmware update from host application over RS232/USB. Over-the-air (OTA) firmware is also possible.

1.7.2 Operating modes
The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following
chapters.
Limits
Function
Normal operation
GSM / GPRS
SLEEP
Various power saving modes set using the AT+CFUN command. Software
is active to a minimum extent. If the modem was registered to the GSM
network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP
mode too. Power saving can be chosen at different levels: the NONCYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC
SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 can be used to alternately activate and
deactivate the AT interfaces to allow permanent access to all AT
commands.
GSM IDLE
Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network, paging with BTS
is carried out. The modem is ready to send and receive.
GSM TALK
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption
depends on the individual settings of network coverage such as DTX
off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, and antenna.
GPRS IDLE
Terminal is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is currently sent or
received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS
configuration (e.g. used multislot settings).
GPRS DATA
GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network
settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and
GPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings).
Sleep mode
Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command. The internal GSM engine enters in a
power down mode where only a voltage regulator is active for powering the internal RTC.
Software is not active. Interfaces are not accessible.
Ultra Low Power
mode
Only available in MTX-65i-ULP modems. All the electronic systems remain disconnected from the
power supply input, with the exception of a little piece of logic which allows for waking up the
modem again.
Airplane mode
Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the modem, causes the modem to log off from the
GSM/GPRS network, and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection.
Airplane mode can be controlled by using the AT commands AT^SCFG and AT+CALA:
With AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane/OnStart, the modem can be configured to enter
Airplane mode each time it is switched on or reset
The parameter AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane can be used to switch back and forth
between Normal mode and Airplane mode at any point during operation.
Setting an alarm with AT+CALA followed by AT^SMSO wakes the modem up into
Airplane mode at the scheduled time.
