1. Overview
The RB800 Terminal is the complete modem solution for wireless m2m applications.
Based on the Telit GL865 or UL865 module, it is available as quad or dual-band version
and offers high level GSM/GPRS/UMTS features in compact aluminium housing with all
the standardized interfaces. Together with its small size and wide supply voltage range,
makes it easy to integrate into all kinds of machines.
The RB800 terminal enabling voice, high speed data transmission, SMS and fax
communication is a universal solution for all low-volume M2M and mobile data applications
including metering, traffic systems, transportation and logistics, security, vending
machines, and facility management.
Device can be controlled by standard AT commands or by customer's application inside
(embedded Python Script Interpreter), thus making it the smallest, complete SMT platform
for m2m solutions.
This document contains full RB800 modem description and gives information about
installation and using it.

6.2 External connections
6.2.1 Antenna connector
SMA antenna input is used to connect external GSM antenna. To establish connection
with GSM network an external antenna must be used. Type of antenna depends on GSM
coverage. In good circumstances (level of received signal is high) use antenna which is
attached in the package. If range of GSM is low or none, an outdoor or indoor (for instance
in place where GSM range is sufficient) antenna should be used.
Note: If there is no antenna connected to SMA connector, the connection with GSM
network is impossible.
6.2.2 Memory slot
RB800 can be optionally equipped with memory card slot to store all the measured
data. The slot type is microSD. Memory card can be controlled only by Python script using
special AT commands which is sends through SER2 interface, see chapter Python Script
Interpreter and AT Reference manual.

6.2.3 USB Interface
RB800 terminal (only UMTS variant) is equipped with USB interface (as shown below) –
miniUSB connector type.
6.2.4 RS-232 Interface (EIA574)
RB800 terminal is equipped with RS-232 interface (as shown below). DE9 DSUB
socket is connected via voltage level translator circuit to the GSM module.
