The Netkom ES75 terminal is a compact
GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem for the transfer
of data, SMS and faxes in GSM networks.
The Netkom ES75 terminal supports the
EDGE standard and thus permits a far
higher data transmission rate up to 236.8
kbps. Packet-oriented data transmission
and a permanent online connection enable
rapid data access and transmission rates.
Industrial standard interfaces and an
integrated SIM card reader mean it can
be used rapidly, easily and universally
as a quad band GSM/GPRS modem.
Its performance band width and the
robust housing make it easier to quickly
implement new applications in areas such
as telemetry and telematics.
The features, functions and interfaces of
the modem Netkom ES75 are described
below.
The functionality of the modem
corresponds to the features of the MC75
module, to which a SIM card reader, an
RS232 interface, an mini USB interface
and a greater supply voltage range have
been added.
All the external interfaces of the modem
are integrated permanently in the housing.
The plug-in connections are standardised
and suitable for use under vibration.

Plug-in power
supply unit
The modem receives its power supply in a
wide voltage range (+8 V ... +30 V) via the
power supply connectors. Two additional
control lines are used for switching the
modem on/off (resetting). The connection
is implemented by a 6-pin Mini-Western
connector.
connection
Reference potential for
PD_IN and IGT_IN
Use and operation
The power supply is implemented by the
“+” and the GND wire. To switch the
modem on, proceed as follows:
Either activate the DTR control line via •
the RS232 interface
Or connect IGT_IN to +. This connection •
has already been set up in the specified
plug-in power supply unit.
Polarity reversal protection is implemented
by means of a power diode. The diode has
a reverse voltage of 400 V.
Overvoltage protection
Overvoltages are suppressed by a Zener
diode after the polarity reversal protection
diode.
Fuses
A permanently installed, non-replaceable
fuse in the modem ensures electrical
safety in the event of faults. Connect
a fast 1.25 A fuse to the supply line of
the positive supply voltage for general
protection of the modem, see “Safety and
installation information” on page 11.

USB interface is implemented as a 5-pin

Before startup, the components required
for your application must be connected.
The SIM card must be inserted in a
deenergized state.
The modem is ready for operation when
supply voltage is applied and the ignition
line is activated. If the recommended
plug-in power supply unit is used, the
ignition line is already connected to the
supply voltage line, and the modem is
thus immediately switched to the active
state. It starts the network search and
registers with network operator. Please
read the following conditions for switching
the modem on and off:
Simply applying supply voltage (+ to pin 1
and GND to pin 6) alone is not enough to
switch on the modem.
It can be switched on in two different
ways:
Activation of the IGT_IN ignition signal
on the power supply connection
The switching regulator is switched on
with the IGT_IN = high signal. When the
switching regulator is switched on, VBAT is
generated as the operating voltage for the
GSM/GPRS module. This still does not
activate the GSM/GPRS module. Triggered
by VBAT, a transistor switch generates the
IGT ignition signal with a delay of approx.
100 ms for the GSM/GPRS module. Only
then is it switched on. (It exits the POWER
DOWN operating state.)
In its energized state, the GSM/GPRS
module provides the supply voltage (VDD).
VDD ensures that the switching regulator
remains on, even when its closing
condition is lost (i.e. IGT_IN = low).
Explanation:
VBAT = operating voltage for the module
VDD = supply voltage from the module
Activation of the RS232 or USB control
line DTR
The modem can be switched on in the
same way as via IGT_IN by activating the
RS232 control line DTR (high signal).
Note
The modem is switched on immediately
using the recommended plug-in power
supply unit (see the above explanation on
startup).
26
Switching off
/ resetting the
modem
The modem can be switched off in two
different ways:
Using a software command by means
of an AT command
A software shutdown via an AT command
is always advisable for a controlled
shutdown of the modem. In this case, the
GSM/GPRS module signs off before the
watchdog condition results in the specific
switching off of the supply voltages.
Activation of the PD_IN reset signal on
the power supply connection
The POWER DOWN line on the GSM/
GPRS module is connected to the
watchdog input pin of the power supply
ASIC, which can only be switched off
by changing the watchdog condition. To
do this, the PD_IN modem reset line is
active (high) for at least 3.5 s. This results
in immediate, “hard” disconnection, with
the modem unable to sign off correctly
from the base station in the STANDBY and
TALK operating states. In the case of this
hardware shutdown, the software is no
longer able to respond before the voltage
is switched off. This corresponds to a
direct, unannounced disconnection of the
operating voltage. In the application you
can switch off or reset the module without
interrupting the input voltage supply.
Usually, the network search takes only a
few seconds till the modem is registered.
If the flashing continues, this means that
no SIM card is inserted, no PIN number is
entered or no GSM network is available.
POWER DOWN
Once the operating voltage is applied (+
and GND), the modem is in the POWER
DOWN state.
The operating voltage for the GSM/GPRS
module is disconnected (the switching
regulator is off). In other words, the
software of the GSM module is not active.
A transition to the POWER DOWN
state always occurs in the following
circumstances:
When the modem (module) is shut •
down by means of AT commands (e.g.
sleep mode).
When the external reset line is active.•
In the network search state, the modem
searches for a GSM/GPRS network. All the
components in the GSM/GPRS modem
(module) that are not required are shut
down in several stages by the energy
saving software.
This state is reached:
From the POWER DOWN state: by an •
active ignition (on) signal at the power
supply connection or
From the STANDBY state: when the •
network is lost (out of range)

but no data is currently sent or received.

GPRS data transfer in progress. Power
consumption depends on network
settings (e.g. power control level),
uplink / downlink data rates and GPRS

The modem is controlled and programmed
by means of AT commands. The AT
command structure corresponds to the
MC75 module used. The AT commands
can be obtained from the ICM WM home
