2.1 Overview

The Telit GG863-SR Gateway is an all-in-one gateway solution with a completely innovative approach focusing on data transmission and routing between short range devices and IP networks.
Equipped with GSM/GPRS cellular and short range technology, GG863-SR provides gateway functionalities to short range networks allowing remote access to each device connected to the network.
Thanks to the modular design of GG863-SR Gateway, customers have great flexibility in designing the short range network by choosing among:
1. different ISM bands (433, 868, 915 MHz and 2,4 GHz),
2. different protocol stacks (ZigBee, M-bus or Telit proprietary),
3. various network topologies (Star, Mesh, Cluster Tree),
4. wide coverage ranges (from 70m to 4km open air),
5. flexible transmission power specifications (from 1 to 500 mW).
Telit GG863-SR Gateway comes with a gateway application that dramatically reduces time to
market, and a user friendly web management console that allows easy maintenance of installed devices.

3.12 SIM Interface Characteristics

The Telit GG863-SR support plug-in type Subscriber Identity Modules (SIM) according to GSM11.14 Phase 2 – with 1.8 and 3 Volts supply.
For the technical characteristics of the SIM, refer to the documentation supplied together with the SIM by the Mobile Network Operator or Service Provider.
The Telit GG863-SR has an enhanced SIM card reader with a sensor that allows detecting of hot plug and removal of the SIM, therefore the SIM can be extracted and re-inserted while the module is still on.
Warning – Hot plug/removal of the SIM is not supported during power saving mode

3.12.1 Insertion and Removal of the SIM

The terminal has a built-in toggle spring (Push-Push) SIM holder, accessible through a slot in the panel as shown in Figure 2 - Connectors placement.
Do not inser To insert and remove the SIM, a plastic strip of the same width of the SIM and appropriate length
of ca. 50-100 mm shall be prepared as a tool. The figure printed on the panel shows the position of the cut edge and the direction, how the SIM shall be inserted.
Insert the SIM and push it with the tool slightly inside until the spring snaps in. Removing the tool, the SIM shall remain inside the Telit GG863-SR.
To remove the SIM, push the tool slightly inside until the spring is released so that it pushes the SIM outside when the tool is retracted.
t or remove the SIM when the product is in power saving mode.

3.13 Antenna

3.13.1 Antenna Output

NOTE: BEFORE connecting the Telit GG863-SR to a Power Supply source, a suitable Antenna shall be connected and properly installed.
The antenna has to be installed with care in order to avoid any interference with other electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from persons (20 cm). In case this requirement

GG863-SR Product Description
80322ST10058a Rev.0 15/06/09
cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final product against the SAR regulation.
For a good efficiency of the antenna and minimum interference with other electronic systems, a space of min. 40 cm around the radiating part should be free, at least of electrically conducting materials (except the ground plane on which it is attached).
Less distance and fewer obstacles there are between the antenna connected to the Telit GG863-
SR Terminal and the antenna of the GSM/GPRS network base station, the less power is radiated
by the Terminal under normal conditions and the higher is the safety margin in case of disturbances.
A check for interferences can be made when the Telit GG863-SR transmits at maximum power level to register to a GSM 900 network (see frequency channel numbers), immediately after being switched on.
3.13.1.1 Antenna Connector
The Telit GG863-SR includes two SMA bulkhead female, class 4 (2W) co-axial connectors for the external antennas.

3.14 User Interface

GG863-SR provides various interfaces for management and configuration purposes: mainly, the
web based control panel user interface and a unix-like shell are accessible via USB connection.

3.14.1 Switching the GG863-SR Gateway ON and OFF

3.14.1.1 Switching ON
The GG863-SR Terminal switches on automatically each time the Power Supply is connected the first time or re-connected.

GG863-SR Product Description
80322ST10058a Rev.0 15/06/09
The gateway operating system is fully operational after 20 seconds. Logging onto a GSM or SR network may take longer than this and it is beyond the control of the GSM/GPRS and SR modules.
Note – When the power supply cable is disconnected, it is recommended to wait for
approximately 5 seconds before applying the power again.
3.14.1.2 Switching OFF
GG863-SR can be switched off either by disconnecting the power supply or by software command.
Warning – Please note that hardware power off should be done only after a proper GSM logoff. Any GSM device is requested to issue a “detach” request at turning off.
Software shutdown can be done by means of the “halt” command on the Linux shell. For further information on available Linux shell commands on GE863-PRO
3
, please refer to [3].
Normal shutdown sequence will take up to 8 seconds. An additional delay of up to 10s is experienced as the GSM module logs off the network.

3.14.2 LED Indicators

The GG863-SR Terminal has 2 double LED indicators, one for the GSM technology and one for the ZB/RF technology.

3.14.3 GSM Led indicators

The green Power LED indicates whether the GSM Engine is powered: if permanently ON, the GSM is powered, if OFF, the GSM is not powered.
The red LED shows information on the network service availability and Call status.

The GG863-SR gateway provides support for direct communication to end nodes (devices) in a wireless PAN from a parent application running on an IP network. Different types of data collection are available:
direct connection between parent application and end points (request-response)
automatic data collection from end nodes, via alerts or polling, sending consolidated data to
the application on a periodic basis over a cellular technology
The gateway provides, in integrated form, support for ZigBee/802.15.4 or proprietary short range technologies plus cellular GSM/GPRS functionalities.
The behavior of the gateway can be customized through the Telit development environment and dedicated libraries.

and its Linux OS please refer to [3].

3.15.2 Data management

3.15.2.1 Send/Receive data from parent application to SR end node
The SR/GSM-GPRS gateway provides support for direct communication to end nodes (devices) in a wireless PAN from a parent application running on an IP network.
The main features consist in:
Standard BSD-like TCP/UDP socket APIs are used to send a receive data
Gateway is generic and does not require knowledge about the application and network
The application running on the end node of a short range network is connected to an IP
application hosted in the back end – or another device – in the IP network.
Example of typical application (device administration): a light server application runs on the end node, to which the back-end system can connect, thus controlling or configuring device settings.

3.15.3 Network Management

3.15.3.1 Automatic setup Short Range and GSM/GPRS network
automatic setup and start the SR range and GSM/GPRS network.
automatic mode for network startup
3.15.3.2 Event management for end node network association
Complete management of the SR end node event notification: parent application on the IP network can be informed immediately if end nodes state changes;
Example: if one of the end devices joins the network or disconnects, application on IP host will be informed.
