4. OVERVIEW
This manual is specifically provided as a guide to the set-up and operation of the Maxon
TM
MM-5100 modem with Windows
connected to a PC.
Details on loading the Drivers are covered in the initial section where we describe use of the
installation CD.
The MM-5100 modem is a rugged, full duplex 1xRTT CDMA Voice/Data/Fax/SMS modem
designed to operate on CDMA 800MHz networks. CDMA is an efficient and secure cellular
wireless technology that compliments fixed or mobile applications.
Two main data services are available on CDMA networks: 1xRTT, a packet switched
connection; and IS-95A, a circuit switched connection. IS-95A over-air data rates are limited
to 14.4 kbps. The 1x service is capable of data rates as high as 153.6 kbps [network
dependant].
The MM-5100 modem has been specifically designed to be compatible with 1xRTT networks
to take full advantage of the exceptional data speeds and always-on connection, and is
backwards compatible with IS95A circuit switched networks.
When using the MM-5100 for 1x connections, access is achieved via a PPP (TCP/IP)
connection to the CDMA network. The CDMA carrier provides the Internet connectivity,
becoming the ISP for that session.
Applications such as web browsing, email, FTP, LAN access, etc function as normal.

5. LED FUNCTIONS
This section describes the labelling and functions of the LED on the MM-5100.
The RSSI LED will be OFF when RSSI is less than -105dBm, flashing when in-between the 95dBm and -105dBm, and ON when greater than or equal to -95dBm.
NOTE: the higher the negative number i.e. the further away from ZERO, the weaker the received signal.
The smaller the number i.e. the closer to ZERO, the stronger the received signal.
A flashing RSSI LED indicates potential need for an alternative antenna, relocating the
antenna to a site more suited to signal acquisition, or elevation of the antenna to improve
signal acquisition, or a combination of all the above.
A consistent RSSI reading of -95dBm or better [number closer to ‘0’] is advisable.
LED Label Description
pwr Lit continuously when power is applied to modem
dtr To indicate MODEM is live on Host device
sms Blinks if there is unread SMS message
ri/rx
tx Blinks on data from MODEM to PC
rssi
roam
crt To indicate connection in Circuit Switched mode
pkt
1x cell
Note 1: In ALL-LED-OFF state, when you connect ear piece to the MM-5100, the LED’s are enabled for a
value set by AT command AT$$EXT_LED=<1~255sec>. If LED always ON is required, change the
AT command parameter to ‘0’.
Note 2: If the LED’s have been disabled by AT command prior to power cycle, all LED’s will remain in
OFF state until ear-piece is connected.
Blinks on incoming voice call, lights continuously on incoming data call,
blinks on data from PC to MODEM
Lights continuously in RSSI range > -95dBm (This is the preferred range)
Blinks in RSSI range -95dBm > -105dBm, (Signal is marginal)
Turn-off at RSSI < -105dBm (No signal available)
ON when inside a preferred roaming carrier network but outside Telstra’s
network, FLASHES when inside a non-preferred roaming carrier network but
outside Telstra’s network, OFF when inside Telstra network
To indicate active connection in Packet Switched mode (OFF when in dormant
mode)
To indicate that local cell supports Packet Switched data (OFF indicates cell
supports only IS95A)

6. LOADING THE PHONE SOFTWARE
& DRIVERS
As you will be required to connect your MM-5100 to your computer and a power source you
must attach an antenna to MM-5100 NOW. This must be done before ANY
connected to the modem.
NOTE: The MM-5100 can be powered solely through the USB connection to your PC, however the
maximum power draw available on USB is 500mA. Therefore USB power would only be suitable
where the RSSI signal strength LED on the modem is ON solid. If the RSSI LED is flashing we
recommend you use alternative power source such as the optional 240vAC to 12vDC plug pack.
During the following steps you will:
Load UI software from CD supplied
Supply power to MM-5100
Connect MM-5100 to PC via the supplied Serial or USB cable
Load appropriate drivers from CD supplied
Step 1: Load the CD
Insert the supplied CD into your CD drive. It should auto-run without intervention. If not,
locate the CD drive on your computer, then double click on Setup.exe.
power is
Double click
setup.exe to start
the installation
This will start the installation.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 9 of 44 4/09/2003
When the software starts the screen will look similar to this:
If you are NOT intending to use the Maxon Phone UI software and only want to load the
drivers then you may install the drivers only.
If USB is not present on your PC leave ‘Install USB Driver’ un-ticked.
If a Serial port is not present on your PC leave ‘Install Serial Driver’ un-ticked.
If you ticked ‘Install USB Driver’ observe the following alert, then click “OK”.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 10 of 44 4/09/2003

7. SETUP MODEM USING HYPERTERMINAL
This section forward is for advanced users who may wish to control integration of the MM5100 without using the Maxon Phone UI Software. This section should be read in
conjunction with the MM-5100 AT Commands User Manual.
To change the baud rate, start HyperTerminal which is located under ‘Start>
Programs>Accessories>Communications>HyperTerminal’
HyperTerminal starts
HyperTerminal asks you for a Connection Description so enter a name of your choosing for
this connection.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 15 of 44 4/09/2003
E.g. the connection name is “115200_MODEM”. Click ‘OK’.
Drop down the “connect using” dialog box and select the Com Port the modem is connected
to via the serial RS232 cable. (The modem should be powered on). Select your country.
Select COM1 if the modem is connected to Com Port 1 then click ‘OK’.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 16 of 44 4/09/2003
Select Properties from the File menu or the Properties button, then click on ‘Configure’ for
this com port and in this dialog box, select Bits per second (bps).
The default baud rate of the MM5100 is 115200. Select 115200bps.
After selecting the bits per second confirm that the Data bits is set to “8”, Parity “none”,
Stop Bits “1”and “Hardware” flow control. Click “OK” to continue. .
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 17 of 44 4/09/2003
HyperTerminal communicates with the modem at 115200bps.
Type “AT” inside the HyperTerminal window then the Enter/CR key.
The Modem responds to AT command by sending an “OK” back.
This proves that the modem is correctly connected with PC through serial port and is
communicating at 115200bps.
Type “at+ipr?” and then Enter to confirm the Modems communication speed.
Modem responds to the above command with the set IPR value. This should be 115200.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 18 of 44 4/09/2003
Now, change the communication speed to 19200bps by typing the AT Command
“AT+IPR=19200” and then enter.
The response “OK” after sending of “at+ipr=19200” confirms that the speed of the modem
has been changed to 19200.
After the “OK” response, you will not be able to communicate with the modem using AT
Commands in HyperTerminal. This is due to the HyperTerminal comm. speed set at 115200
whereas you have now set the modem comm. speed to 19200.
Disconnect from HyperTerminal by clicking “Disconnect” in the toolbar to release the
connection.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 19 of 44 4/09/2003
Now connection is released, and you can change the properties of HyperTerminal. Click the
“Properties” button on the toolbar.
Properties “Configure”.
The communication speed was set to115200bps.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 20 of 44 4/09/2003
Set communication speed to 19200bps.
Now, you can send the “AT” Commands at 19200bps to the MODEM.
Type “AT” and then enter. The modem should respond back with an “OK”.
Type “AT+IPR?” and then “ENTER” key.
You have successfully changed the communication speed of the modem to 19200bps.
MM-5100 Windows Setup Manual 090803 NZ Page 21 of 44 4/09/2003
You must now shut down the HyperTerminal program. Click the “Yes” button.
Save HyperTerminal so that you do not have to set the properties again.
