FCC/INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
Your device may cause TV or radio interference (for example, when using a telephone in close proximity to
receiving equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can require you to stop using your telephone if such
interference cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, contact your local service facility. This device
complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.
The Nokia 12 GSM connectivity module has been designed for M2M (machine-to-machine)
applications and other wireless solutions. There are two versions of the Nokia 12:
• RX-2 dual-band GSM device supporting EDGE, GPRS, HSCSD, CSD, and SMS in EGSM 900/GSM
1800 MHz bands
• RX-9 dual band GSM device supporting EDGE, GPRS, CSD, SMS in GSM 850/GSM 1900 MHZ
bands.
The Nokia 12 can be used in several applications due to its three different operating modes.
Simple I/O applications can be easily implemented using the Nokia 12 in the User control mode
that offers message personalising, secure messaging, and timing functionality for SMS controlled
I/O applications. Additional intelligence for I/O applications can easily be implemented with
Java. In the AT command mode, the Nokia 12 can be used as a GSM modem that supports Java
for creating extra intelligence. In modem use, all supported bearers are available, subject to
network support.
The Nokia 12 is compatible with the Nokia M2M Platform. In the M2M system mode, the Nokia 12
communicates with the server application through the Nokia M2M Gateway, and all the
compatible features of the Nokia 12 are available for developing a wide range of M2M
applications.
In addition to these operating modes, the Nokia 12 has an integrated TCP/IP stack which
enables direct GPRS or GSM data connection between a remote end application and a server
application. Due to the integrated TCP/IP stack, the HTTP and Socket APIs of the Nokia 12 are
available for application development.
In addition to the bearers and operating modes listed above, the Nokia 12 supports several Java
APIs, location service for external GPS module integration, reliability features like AutoPIN, GSM
encryption and security codes, reset mechanism and Nokia M2M Platform authentication. Java™
technology support enables upgrading the application software over the air, and smart
messaging makes the installation flexible. GSM phase 2+ supplementary services enable
developing voice applications.
Note that all data bearers as well as TCP/IP are dependent on network support.
This document describes the main characteristics of the Nokia 12 and is intended to help the
system integrator both integrate the Nokia 12 in an application and gain the correct approvals.
Basic product information is available in Ref 1.
2. MECHANICAL INTEGRATION
The Nokia 12 contains two holes for mounting screws. The screws can be used in mounting, but
are not compulsory. The Nokia 12 has been tested according to the automotive standard DIN
72300-3. The module can be assembled to various applications without the screws.
All signals are routed through the M2M system connector, except the antenna, which is routed
through the MMCX RF connector.
The M2M system connector is a 60-pin (2 rows, 30 per row) 1.27 mm pitch pin header connector.
It has a frame that helps in the assembly and also holds the Nokia 12 firmly in position.
The possible mating connector is described in Table 1.

The IO Voltage pin 52 selects the logic level of all digital outputs/inputs. The specifications of the
digital audio interface are the same as the digital inputs and outputs specifications.
All the M2M system connector pins can handle 4 kV ESD (human body model).
3.1.2 Connector pin-out
The odd number pins (1, 3, 5, 7…) are on one side of the connector and the even number pins (2,
4, 6, 8…) on the other side. Numbering and pin-out are shown in Figure 2 and Table 9.
