5. Software Features

5.1. Easy GPRS Extension

5.1.1. Overview

The Easy GPRS feature allows the Telit GE865-QUAD user to contact a device in internet and establish with it a raw data flow over the GPRS and Internet networks.

This feature can be seen as a way to obtain a "virtual" serial connection between the Application Software on the Internet machine involved and the controller of the Telit GE865QUAD module, regardless of all the software stacks underlying.

GE865-QUAD Product Description

80309ST10054A Rev.6 – 2013-09-05

This particular implementation allows to the devices interfacing to the Telit GE865-QUAD module the use of the GPRS and Internet packet service without the need to have an internal TCP/IP stack since this function is embedded in the module.

For more detailed information regarding the use of the Easy GPRS feature, please consult Easy GPRS User Guide and AT Commands Reference Guide.

5.2. Multisocket

The multisocket is an extension of Telit Easy GPRS feature, which allows the user to have two contexts activated (that means two different IP address), more than one socket connection (with a maximum of 6) and simultaneous FTP client service.

For more detailed information please consult the Easy GPRS User Guide.

Page 23

5.3. Jamming Detection

5.3.1. Overview

The Jammed Detect feature allows the GE865-QUAD to detect the presence of a disturbing device such as a Communication Jammer and give indication to the user.

This feature can be very important in alarm, security and safety applications that rely on the module for the communications. In these applications, the presence of a Jammer device can compromise the whole system reliability and functionality and therefore shall be recognized and reported to the local system for countermeasure actions.

5.4. CMUX

CMUX (Converter-Multiplexer) is a multiplexing protocol implemented in the GE865QUAD that can be used to send any data, SMS, or TCP data.

GE865-QUAD Product Description

80309ST10054A Rev.6 – 2013-09-05

5.4.1. Architecture

The Multiplexer mode enables one serial interface to transmit data to four different customer applications. This is achieved by providing four virtual channels using a Multiplexer (MUX).

This is especially advantageous when a data/GPRS call is ongoing. Using the Multiplexer features, e.g. controlling the module or using the SMS service can be done via the additional channels without disturbing the data flow; access to the second UART is not necessary.

Furthermore, several accesses to the module can be created with the Multiplexer. This is of great advantage when several independent electronic devices or interfaces are used.

To access the three virtual interfaces, both the GSM engine and the customer application must contain MUX components, which communicate over the multiplexer protocol.

In Multiplexer mode, AT commands and data are encapsulated into packets. Each packet has channel identification and may vary in length.

5.4.2. Features

• 3GPP 27.010 CMUX Basic Option used

• CMUX implementation support four full DLCI (Serial Port)

• Every CMUX instance has its own user profile storage in NVM

• Independent setting of unsolicited message.

• Every CMUX instance has its own independent flow control

NOTE: More details about the Multiplexer mode are available in the CMUX User Guide.
