OnCell G3100 Series Introduction
1-2
Overview
The OnCell G3100, which can be used to connect any serial device and Ethernet device to a cellular network,
supports a number of different operation modes. The OnCell COM driver turns the OnCell G3100’s serial ports
into virtual COM ports that allow you to communicate with your serial and Ethernet 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 and Ethernet device and GPRS/EDGE or UMTS/HSDPA TCP/IP network.
The OnCell G3100 functions as a router to achieve Ethernet to cellular connectivity. All Ethernet devices
connected to the OnCell’s LAN port are hidden from public view via the OnCell’s NAT function.
The OnCell G3100 also supports Secure TCP Server, Secure TCP Client, Secure Real COM, and Secure Reverse
Real COM modes for security critical applications, such as access control, and remote site management.
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, serial data must be delivered reliably even if communication is disrupted. The OnCell
G3100 provides a powerful function to ensure that serial data is buffered in case of a communication failure.
When a communication failure occurs, the serial data is buffered in the OnCell G3100 until communication is
resumed, at which point the buffered data is sent to its destination.
Package Checklist
Each OnCell G3100 serial and Ethernet cellular IP gateway is shipped in a separate box with standard
accessories. In addition, several optional accessories can be ordered separately. When you receive your

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 guidelin es:
• 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 si gnal or communi cation wiring and power wiri ng in the same wi re conduit. To
avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
• 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.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• 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.
Follow these steps to remove or install the SIM card:
1. Re move 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.
(a) Remove the SIM card from the SIM card slot, or
(b) Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot.
4. Reverse the above steps to replace the outer SIM card cover.

ATTENTION
If the modem is in GSM/GPRS mode, SIGNAL LEDs will not be illuminated if the phone number or APN is
incorrect. Check the GSM LED if the SIM car d is installed correctly.
The GSM 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 non e of the GSM and SIGNAL 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 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 i ndicate that the
system is ready.
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 of th e 2 electrically isolated inputs are used:
• +13 to +30 V for state “1” (On)
• +3 to -30 V for state “0” (Off)

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:
• The Ethernet LED glows a solid green when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
• The Ethernet LED glows a solid orange when connected to a 10 Mbps Eth ernet network.
• The Ethernet LED flashes when Ethernet pack ets are being transmitted or received.
Connecting to a Serial Device
The OnCell G3110/G3110-HSDPA/G3110-HSDPA-JPS/G3110-HSDPA-JPN supports one RS-232 port that
connects through a DB9 male connector on the bottom panel.
The OnCell G3150/G3150-HSDPA/G3110-HSDPA-JPS/G3110-HSDPA-JPN 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.
Connecting to the Ethernet Device
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 device.
If the cable is properly connected, the OnCell G3100 will indicate a valid Ethernet connection as follows:
• The Ethernet LED glows a solid green when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet device.
• The Ethernet LED glows a solid orange when connected to a 10 Mbps Eth ernet device.
• The Ethernet LED flashes when Ethernet pack ets are being transmitted or received.
Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for the RS-485 Port (for
RS-232/422/485 models)
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 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 the assigned 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 when using the RS-232 interface. Doing so will degrade the RS-232
signals and shorten the maximum allowed communication distance.

3. Initial IP Address Configuration
When setting up the OnCell G3100 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure its IP address.
This chapter introduces the different methods that can be used. Please refer to Chapter 13: System
Management Settings, for more details about network settings.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Static and Dynamic IP Addresses
Factory Default IP Address
Configuration Options

¾ Web Console
¾ ARP
¾ Telnet Console
¾ Serial Console
OnCell G3100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration

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).
• If your OnCell G3100 is used in a static IP environment, you must assign a specific IP address usin g
one of the tools described in this chapter.
• If your OnCell G3100 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned
automatically from over the network. In th is case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP or BO OTP.
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 accessible from a public network. For example, you would not be able
to ping a device with a private IP address from an outside Internet connection. 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
You may configure your OnCell G3100 with the bundled OnCell Search Utility for Windows. Please refer to
Chapter 14, 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 toChapter 6, 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 command tells your computer to associate the On Cell G3100’s MAC address with an IP address.
Afterwards, use Telnet to access the OnCell G3100 and its IP address will be reconfigured.
OnCell G3100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration

ATTENTION
In order to use the ARP setup method, both your computer and the OnCell G3100 must be conne cted to th e
same LAN. You may use an Ethernet cable to connect the OnCell G3100 di rectly to your comp uter’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. In
addition, note that ARP command must be issued within 3 min utes after the OnCell is turned. After 3 min utes
have elapsed, the OnCell will no longer accept ARP comma nds.
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 Telnet.
