1. Introduction

The Nokia 30 is a GSM Connectivity Terminal with many advanced functions.

With the Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal connected to your compatible PC or to a compatible device, you can, for example, make data calls, send messages, connect to the Internet and so on.

The Nokia 30 offers high speed wireless connections and it supports several data connection types such as GPRS, highspeed data, USSD and text messages over EGSM900/GSM1800 networks.

The Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal also has highly useful security-related features such as AutoPIN, GSM security codes and GSM encryption for end-user privacy.

The Nokia 30 has an internal antenna but if the signal strength is insufficient for optimal use, an external antenna can be attached to the terminal.

When the Nokia 30 is attached to the data adapter RS-232, it can be used as a stand-alone modem

when connected to a compatible PC or compatible device. This user’s guide describes how to use of the Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal as a wireless modem.

Introduction

Page 7

■ Three ways of using the Nokia 30 with a compatible PC or other

compatible device:

Connected to a PC as a wireless modem

The Nokia 30 is connected to your computer and is installed on your computer as a modem. Communications applications can subsequently be used to send and receive data over the wireless connection provided by the Nokia 30. For more detailed information, see Modem installation for Nokia 30 terminal on page 21.

Connected to a PC and typing the AT commands on a terminal software application

The AT commands are typed directly in an application, for example Hyper Terminal®. The Nokia 30, used as a modem, follows these commands. See Entering the PIN code as an example of this on page

17.

Connected to an electronics application

When the Nokia 30 terminal is connected to the data adapter RS-232, it can be attached to a device with a serial interface for a modem. This device communicates with the Nokia 30 via the RS-232 interface using integrated AT commands. Read more about the use of Nokia 30 for M2M communications on page 49.

2. Features of the Nokia 30

In this chapter the main features of the Nokia 30 terminal are described in brief.

Note: Do not switch on the terminal when wireless device use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. These are special services that you arrange through your wireless service provider. Before you can take advantage of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to them through your service provider and obtain instructions for their use from your service provider.

For example, features like wireless data connections and supplementary services are network dependent features in Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal.

■ Data connections and messaging

The Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal supports five technologies for wireless data transfer, which can be used where GSM networks support them. It is possible to use different AT commands depending on the data bearer in use.

Note: Before you can use GPRS, HSCSD, CSD or USSD, you must subscribe to these services. You must also save the settings for the applications used with these technologies. See Modem installation for Nokia 30 terminal on page 21.

Features of the Nokia 30

Page 10

GPRS

With GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) data is transferred over the network in small, standardized packets. Transferring data as packets makes the transfer more efficient. Given that the Nokia 30 supports GPRS multi-slot class 6, multiple timeslots can be used for data transfer at the same time.

HSCSD

With HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) the Nokia 30 acts as a multi-slot class 6 terminal and it offers data transfer speeds of up to 43.2 kbit/s.

CSD

CSD (Circuit Switched Data) offers data speed of up to 14.4 kbit/s.

SMS

SMS (Short Message Service) is used to send and receive messages containing a maximum of 160 characters via the Nokia 30. SMS is a convenient way to pass data quickly and easily to and from Nokia 30 terminals.

USSD

USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Services Data) offers reliable interactive messaging services. USSD can be used to send and receive messages containing a maximum of 182 characters via the Nokia 30. With USSD, the session is established for the duration of the connection. This increases data transfer reliability and shortens response times as the delay is known.

Note: USSD messages can only be sent to the network, not directly to another mobile terminal.

Features of the Nokia 30

Page 11

■ Supplementary services

The Nokia 30 terminal also supports additional network dependent services such as:

• Call forwarding to forward your calls to another number you specify.

• Call restriction to restrict outgoing and incoming calls.

• Call transfer to connect two different callers with each other and then disconnect one’s own call

without disturbing the other two callers.

• Call waiting alerts you of another incoming call during a phone call.

• In-call handling to switch between incoming and active calls.

• Multiparty call to connect several callers to one conversation.

• Security options such as Call barring.

You can take these supplementary services into use by changing the settings of Nokia 30. This can be done using e.g. the Nokia 30 Configurator.

■ AutoPIN

SIM security in the Nokia 30 terminal can be achieved by using the AutoPIN feature that makes the SIM card useless to any unauthorized user. The standard PIN request is used by default in the Nokia 30, however, the AutoPIN feature can be switched on with the Nokia 30 Configurator software. The PIN code is then programmed in the terminal’s memory where it is relayed in unusual situations, for example when the terminal is restarted.

If there are problems with reception, for example interruptions in the service, the signal may be too weak. Check the signal strength with the following AT command for example in the HyperTerminal connection window: at+csq.

The response is +csq: <rssi>, 99. The parameters for <rssi> are from 0 through 31 at 2 dBm intervals:

0 ... 6 -101 dBm or less -> Unacceptable coverage

7 ... 11 -100 dBm ... -91 dBm -> Weak coverage

12 ... 16 -90 dBm ... -81 dBm -> Moderate coverage

17 ... 31 -80 dBm or greater -> Good coverage

99 Not known or not detectable

Troubleshooting

Page 44

For example, the response +csq: 31, 99 means that the signal strength is excellent. If the signal is weaker than -91 dBm (the <rssi> parameter is 11 or less), move the terminal to another location. If the terminal does not receive a stronger signal, contact your service provider. An external antenna may improve the reception.

■ Blocked PIN code

If the PIN code you enter fails three times in succession, the code is blocked. You can unblock it by entering your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code. See Access codes on page 46.

When the PIN code is blocked, the light indicators 1 and 2 blink red. To unblock the code, proceed as follows:

• For example, in the HyperTerminal connection window, type the AT command at+cpin? and press ENTER. If the PUK code is required, the response is +cpin: SIM PUK.

• Enter the PUK code via the command at+cpin="PUK","PIN" where PUK is your PUK code and PIN is your old or new PIN code. Press ENTER.

■ No connection

If you do not get an OK response when you enter the at<enter> command in the HyperTerminal connection window, for example, first check that the port settings are correct. See Entering the PIN code on page 17.

Check also that

• you use correct RS-232 adapter (the DAU-12 marking can be found at the bottom of the adapter)

• you have set the Connection Type with the Configurator software correctly:

HW selection (default) or AT Commands

Troubleshooting

Page 45

• you have downloaded the latest Configurator Software from the Nokia website www.forum.nokia.com.

■ No Internet connection

• Check the Nokia Modem Options settings are correct.

• Check that the new Dial-up Connection settings are correct.

• Contact your Internet service provider.

■ Modem driver

Check that no other device uses the same COM port with your PC to which you have connected the Nokia 30 terminal.

If you wish to see the log file to check what the Nokia 30 terminal has responded to the AT commands, you can find the file named Modem_Nokia30.txt on your PC in the WINNT or Windows folder. If the log file is not found, select (in Windows 2000) Control Panel-> Phone and Modem options -> Modems

-> Nokia 30 -> Properties -> Diagnostics and select the Append to Log option in the Logging

section.

9. Nokia 30 as an M2M Communications device

M2M stands for machine-to-machine, man-to-machine and machine-to-man communication. M2M is a simple way to use wireless data transmission as a link between systems, remote devices or locations and individuals.

With the Nokia 30 connected to a machine through a control application, you can remotely control a pool of devices and receive status information, for example storage statuses. The Nokia 30 can be easily integrated into various applications such as vending, security, elevator control and so on.

As an M2M communications device the Nokia 30 can be used in three operation modes:

• User control mode

• AT command mode

• M2M system mode

■ User control mode

A user can control and monitor devices by mobile phone using text messages. An example of controlling a device would be to lock a door remotely with a mobile phone.

With the User Control mode of Nokia 30 it is easy and economical to develop e.g. this kind of door locking system. This is possible using the built in services of the Nokia 30 and the specific input and output pins located on the M2M System Connector, see page 15. For more information on User control mode, see the Nokia website www.forum.nokia.com for more specific documentation.

Page 49

■ AT command mode

In AT command mode the Nokia 30 operates as a wireless modem. The wireless connection is established and data is sent using AT commands integrated in the application module.

The AT command mode is available either on the D9 connector of the RS-232 adapter or on the 50-pin M2M System Connector located on the bottom of the Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal.

The AT commands, which are used to control the terminal, can be found in the AT Command Guide for Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal on the Nokia 30 CD-ROM and on the Nokia website at http:// www.forum.nokia.com. The Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal supports most ITU-T V.25ter, ETS GSM 07.05 and ETS GSM 07.07 commands.

■ M2M System mode

In M2M system mode the Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal operates as a part of the Nokia M2M Platform, which is a complete, wireless end-to-end solution for machine communication. Together with the Nokia M2M Gateway the Nokia 30 forms an application platform.

The Nokia 30 incorporates a host of features that can be used in M2M System mode. For example, enhanced reliability and security is available in M2M System mode. The connection between the Nokia 30 and the application module is checked periodically by live checks and if the connection is broken, it can be reset automatically. Mutual authentication can also be ensured between the Nokia 30 and the Nokia M2M Gateway. In M2M System mode the wireless connection is established and data is sent using the CORBA method calls integrated in the application module.
