Introduction
The CM744B 3G radio module allows you to interface
compatible security control panels to the GSM/GPRS /SMS
network providing a high reliability primary or backup
reporting path.
The unit is designed to plug onto the main control panel
with the supplied antenna mounting onto the metal
cabinet.

Getting Started
There are four main steps required to configure the
CM744B for reporting to the control room. The instruc-
tions assume that you already have purchased a SIM card
and that the card has been charged with credit and acti-
vated on the network if necessary.
1. Install the CM744B hardware on the control panel.
2. Install the antenna.
3. Configure the module's features and parameters.
4. Configure the control panel for reporting.
Step 1 - Installing the Radio Module
Ensure that the panel is powered off before proceeding.
Plug the 3 short plastic standoffs into the module and
then plug it onto the Expansion Port header pins on the
panel as shown in. If you are connecting the CM744B to a
panel which also has a CM101B Voice Module fitted then
you should use the longer standoffs from the HW750 Riser
Kit.
Install the SIM card into the SIM 1 card position.

Step 2 - Installing the Antenna
Remove the knockout in the top of the cabinet and pass
the antenna lead through the hole ensuring the antenna
is on the outside of the cabinet. Screw the lead to the
socket on the radio module before power the panel.
Do not fix the antenna in place at this stage.
Step 3 - Configuring The Module
Once powered the radio will attempt to connect to the
network. This may take up to a minute to complete. Dur-
ing this time the online indicator on the module will be on
solid. Once the radio has registered the online indicator
will begin to flash and the signal strength indicators will
show the current signal condition.
Experiment with the position of the antenna to find the
best signal strength before fixing it in place.
Step 4 - Configuring The Panel Reporting
Reporting configuration will vary depending on the re-
quired options and whether or not the GSM module is to
be used as the primary or secondary reporting route.
Configure the required reporting formats in MENU 5-4-0
and 5-4-1. The system can be configured to report to the
base in CID and also to selected phone numbers via SMS,
or to the base in CID via PSTN line and then CID via GSM if
the PSTN line is cut.
All reporting scenarios are configured by varying the pro-
gramming of the reporting format and reporting routes
configurations options.
Module Indicators
The module includes 7 led indicators which are used to
show status and signal strength. See table below.
