Overview
The OnCell G3100, which can be used to connect any serial device to a cellular network, supports a
number of different operation modes. The Real COM driver turns the OnCell G3100’s serial ports
into virtual COM ports that allow you to communicate with your serial devices remotely over the
cellular network. The OnCell G3100 comes pre-installed with the TCP/IP protocol suite to transmit
data back and forth between the serial device and GPRS/EDGE TCP/IP network.
The OnCell G3100 also comes with a built-in relay output that can be configured to indicate the
priority of events when notifying or warning engineers in the field, and the two digital inputs allow
you to connect basic I/O devices, such as sensors, to the cellular network.
For some applications, data must be delivered reliably even if communication is disrupted. The
OnCell G3100 provides a powerful function to ensure that data is buffered in case of a
communication failure. When a communication failure occurs, the data is buffered in the OnCell
G3100 until communication is resumed, at which point the buffered data is sent to its destination.

Connecting the Hardware
This section describes how to connect the OnCell G3100 cellular IP-modem to a host PC or serial
devices for first time testing purposes. We cover Wiring Requirements, SIM Installation, DIN-Rail
Mounting, Connecting the Power, Connecting to a Serial Device, Adjustable Pull High/Low
Resistors for the RS-485 Port, and LED Indicators.
Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your device. The OnCell
G3100 should be secured at one location.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes
above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the device. When plugged in, the device’s internal components generate
heat, and consequently the casing may feel hot to the touch.
You should also heed the following guidelines:
y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring
paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit.
To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
y Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept
separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
y Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
y Where necessary, it is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
SIM Card Installation
In order to protect the SIM card, the SIM card slot is located inside the OnCell G3100’s casing.
You will need to unscrew and remove the outer SIM card cover before installing or removing the
SIM card.
OnCell G3100 Series User’s Manual Getting Started
2-5

Follow these steps to remove or install the SIM card:
1. Remove the screw holding the outer SIM card cover.
2. Push the outer SIM card cover to the left to remove it.
3. Rotate it upwards to expose the SIM card slot.
4. (a) Remove the SIM card from the SIM card slot, or
(b) Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot.
5. Reverse the above steps to replace the outer SIM card cover.
ATTENTION
The SIGNAL LEDs on the front panel provide a convenient way of checking if the SIM card is
installed properly. If the antenna is installed and the network is operating normally, then at least
one of the three SIGNAL LEDs should be illuminated at all times. If none of the LEDs are
illuminated, then the SIM card may not be installed properly. This is because the PIN code is
stored on the SIM card; if the PIN code cannot be accessed, then the modem will not be
accessible from over the network.
Connecting the Power
The dual power inputs that connect to the 4-pin power terminal block (2 terminals per power input)
can be used to connect the OnCell G3100 to a variety of field power sources that support 12 to 48
VDC. After connecting the power wire to the OnCell G3100’s terminal block, the “PWR” LED
will glow a solid green color to indicate that the system is ready.
OnCell G3100 Series User’s Manual Getting Started
2-6
Power Input
Connecting the I/O Port
Six terminals on the terminal block are reserved for the I/O ports, with 2 terminals used for each
input, and 2 terminals used for the output.
Digital Input
Digital ON and OFF determine which power input is used:DIN OFF: 0 to 3.3 VDC; DIN ON: 10
to 48 VDC (I1 to COM_1/I2 to COM_2)
Digital Output:
The default for relay output (DOUT) is open (normal condition). If relay output (DOUT) is
connected, it's short (exception).

Digital Inputs
OnCell G3100 Series User’s Manual Getting Started

Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the OnCell G3100's 10/100M Ethernet port and the other
end of the cable to the Ethernet network.
If the cable is properly connected, the OnCell G3100 will indicate a valid connection to the
Ethernet as follows:
y The Ethernet LED glows a solid green when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
y The Ethernet LED glows a solid orange when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
y The Ethernet LED flashes when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.
Connecting to a Serial Device
The OnCell G3110 supports one RS-232 port that connects through a DB9 male connector on the
bottom panel.
The OnCell G3150 supports one RS-232 port that connects through a DB9 male connector on the
bottom panel, and one RS-422/RS-485-4w/RS-485-2w that connects through a 5-pin terminal
block on the bottom panel.
Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for the RS-485 Port (G3150)
In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of
serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors
correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since a particular pull high/low resistor value
cannot fit all environments, the OnCell G3150 uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor
values for the serial port.
To set the termination resistor to 150 KΩ, make sure both of t he assi gn ed DIP switches are in the
OFF position. This is the default setting.
To set the termination resistor to 1 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the
ON position.
ATTENTION
Do not use the 1 KΩ setting on the OnCell G3150 when using the RS-232 interface. Doing so
will degrade the RS-232 signals and shorten the maximum allowed communication distance.

Static and Dynamic IP Addresses
Determine whether your OnCell G3100 needs to use a static IP address or dynamic IP address (either
DHCP or BOOTP application).
y If your OnCell G3100 is used in a static IP environment, you must assign a specific IP address
using one of the tools described in this chapter.
y If your OnCell G3100 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned
automatically from over the network. In this case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP or
BOOTP.
ATTENTION
Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your OnCell G3100
in the MAC-IP mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. For most
applications, you should assign a fixed IP address to your OnCell G3100.
Factory Default IP Address
The OnCell G3100 is configured with the following default private IP address:
192.168.127.254
Note that IP addresses that begin with “192.168” are referred to as private IP addresses. Devices
configured with a private IP address are not directly accessi ble from a publ ic network. For example,
you would not be able to pi ng a device wit h a private I P address from an outside Int ernet connectio n.
If your application requires sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, your OnCell
G3100 will need a valid public IP address, which can be leased from a local ISP.
Configuration Options
OnCell Search Utility
Y ou may configure your OnCell G3100 with the bundled OnCell Search Utility for Windows. Please
refer to
Chapter 10, Software Installation/Configuration, for details on how to install and use OnCell
Search Utility.
Web Console
You may configure your OnCell G3100 using a standard web browser. Please refer to Chapter 5,
Using the Web Console, for details on how to access and use the OnCell G3100 web console.
ARP
You may use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your
OnCell G3100. The ARP co mmand tells your computer to associate the OnCell G3100’s MAC
address with an IP address. Afterwards, use Telnet to access the OnCell G3100 and its IP address
will be reconfigured.

ATTENTION
In order to use the ARP setup method, both your computer and the OnCell G3100 must be
connected to the same LAN. You may use a Ethernet cable to connect the OnCell G3100 directly
to your computer’s Ethernet card. Before executing the ARP command, your OnCell G3100 must
be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.127.254) and your computer and the
OnCell G3100 must be on the same subnet.
To use ARP to configure the IP address, complete the following:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for your OnCell G3100 from your network administrator.
2. Obtain your OnCell G3100’s MAC address from the label on the bottom panel.
3. Execute the arp -s command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt as follows:
arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>
For example,
C:\> arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-04-00-11
4. Next, execute a special Telnet command by entering the following exactly:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000
When you enter this command, a Connect failed message will appear, as shown below.
5. After the OnCell G3100 reboots, its IP address will be assigned to the new address and you can
reconnect using Telnet to verify that the update was successful.
Telnet Console
Depending on how your computer and network are configured, you may find it convenient to use
network access to set up your OnCell G3100’s IP address. This can be done using T elnet.

Serial Console
The OnCell G3100 supports configuration through the serial console, which is the same as the Telnet
console but accessed through the RS-232 console port rather than ov er the network. Once you have
entered the serial console, the configuration options and instructions are the same as if you were
using the Telnet console.
The following instructions and screenshots show how to enter the serial console using PComm
T erminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lit e suite. You may use a
different terminal emulator utility, although your actual screens and procedures may vary slightly
from the following instructions.
1. Turn off the power to the OnCell G3100. Use a serial cable to connect the OnCell G3100’s serial
console port to your computer’s RS-232 serial port.
2. From the Windows desktop select Start Æ All Programs Æ PComm Lite Æ Terminal
Emulator.
3. The PComm Terminal Emulator window should appear. From the Port Manager menu, select
Open, or simply click the Open icon as shown below:
4. The Property window opens automatically. Select the Communication Parameter tab, and
then select the appropriate COM port for the connection (COM4 in this example). Configure the
parameters for 115200, 8, N, 1 (115200 for Baudrate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for
Stop Bits).
5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and
then click OK.
