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

■ 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.

Introduction

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

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

■ 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.

3. Getting started

■ Setting up the terminal

To use the Nokia 30 GSM Connectivity Terminal for the first time, proceed as follows:

1. Install the SIM card as described on page 13.

2. Mount the terminal on the data adapter RS-232.

3. Place the terminal in a proper location considering the field strength and antenna’s functionality.

4. Connect the data cable RS-232 to the terminal and to a compatible PC or other compatible device. Connect the power supply ACW-5A to the terminal and to an AC wall outlet.

5. Enter the PIN code if your SIM card requires it.

Warning! To avoid damage to the SIM card, do not install, move or remove the SIM card if the power supply is connected to an AC wall outlet. Mount the terminal on the data adapter RS-232 before connecting the power supply.

Getting started

Installing the SIM card

Keep all miniature SIM cards out of the reach of small children.

The Nokia 30 SIM card reader supports 3V small-size SIM cards.

The SIM card is attached in its position with the plastic SIM cover. If you need to remove the SIM card from the terminal, do so carefully, for example using a sharp-pointed tool.

Note: Removing the SIM card when the Nokia 30 is connected to the data adapter RS-232 is not possible.

1. Remove the SIM cover from the terminal by first lifting the wider end of the SIM cover upwards.

2. Insert your SIM card into the slot and make sure the golden contact area is facing upwards and the bevelled corner is on the left.

3. Replace the SIM cover by pushing the narrow end in first, then snapping the cover closed.

Note: If the SIM card is installed but the Nokia 30 terminal still requires the insertion of a SIM card, this means that your SIM card is not supported by the terminal. The Nokia 30 supports 3V SIM cards only.

Getting started

Mounting the terminal

Mount the terminal downwards on the data adapter RS-232 and use the screws supplied in the sales package to tighten the terminal in the right position.

Note: If you wish to mount the terminal on a wall, first attach the data adapter RS-232 to the wall before mounting the terminal onto it.

Placing the terminal

Install the terminal either horizontally or vertically on the wall or on a horizontal surface. The best installation location can be found with the help of the Intensity of Field strength (IoF) function through the Nokia 30 light indicators (LEDs). See "Light indicators" on page 39.

If the internal antenna is not adequate, the use of additional external antenna is recommended.

For more detailed information on placing the terminal, refer to http:// www.forum.nokia.com if needed.

Getting started

Caution: In order to comply with RF exposure requirements, install the terminal so that a minimum

distance of 20 cm can be maintained between the antenna and all persons. If you use an external antenna, install the antenna so that a minimum distance of 20 cm can be maintained between the antenna and all persons, with antenna gain not exceeding 3 dBi.

Note: All radio transmitting devices send signals which may cause interference in different electronic devices ( PC, television etc). To avoid interference, place the terminal far enough from other electronic devices.

Terminal connectors

The Nokia 30 has four interfaces to connect to: M2M System, RS-232, power interface and external antenna connector.

• M2M System connector

The M2M System connector is located at the bottom of the terminal. When mounting the terminal the M2M system connector is attached to the matching connector on the data adapter RS-232.

Getting started

• RS-232 connector

1. Mount the Nokia 30 on the data adapter RS-232 first in order to connect the terminal with a compatible PC or other compatible devices.

2. Attach the data cable RS-232 to the adapter.

3. Connect the data cable from the terminal to a compatible PC or other compatible device. Use only the data cable RS-232 supplied by Nokia.

• Power connector

The Nokia 30 power connector is at the back end of the terminal, opposite the light indicators. When the Nokia 30 terminal is mounted on the RS232 adapter the power interface is found under the edge of the adapter.

- Connect the power cord from the power supply to the terminal.

- Connect the power supply to an AC wall outlet.

• External antenna connector

The external antenna connector is located next to the SIM card slot ( see picture on page 39). The external antenna can be used with the external antenna cable (XRM-1) accessory if the signal strength is insufficient.

- To connect the external antenna cable to the Nokia 30, cut off a piece of the SIM cover to fit the

cable in.

- Connect an external antenna with the FME connector to the other end of the external antenna cable.

Getting started

Entering the PIN code

The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. It is usually supplied with the SIM card. If the SIM card requires a PIN code, you must enter this code to be able to use the Nokia 30 terminal.

When the AutoPIN feature is switched on e.g. with the Nokia 30 Configurator software, the PIN code is saved in the terminal’s memory and there is no need to type in the PIN code separately.

In a MS Windows environment, several applications can be used to establish the connection. One such applications is HyperTerminal®. You can enter the PIN code with HyperTerminal as follows (in Windows

2000):

1. Start the HyperTerminal program (Start ->Programs ->Accessories ->Communications -> HyperTerminal, then double-click the HyperTrm.exe icon).

2. In the Connection Description dialog box, type a name for the connection in the Name box (for example GSM1) and click OK.
