1. Overview The RB600 Terminal is the complete modem solution for wireless m2m applications. Based on the high quality module, it is available as quad-band version and offers high level GSM/GPRS communication and GNSS receiver in a compact plastic housing with all the standardized interfaces.
3. Package 3.1 Box On the original box of the product you can find a product sticker. It should match the sticker on the modem. This is verification that your modem is an original product. More information about stickers in Product sticker.
5.2 External connections 5.2.1 GSM antenna connector The SMA antenna input is used to connect an external GSM antenna. To establish a connection with GSM network, an external antenna must be used. The type of antenna depends on GSM coverage. In good circumstances (level of received signal is high) use antenna which is included in the package.
5.2.2 RS-232 Interface (EIA574) RB600 terminal is equipped with an RS-232 interface (as shown below). A DE9 DSUB socket is connected via a voltage level translator circuit to the GSM module. Table of RS-232 DB9 pins: Pin No. Name Description Data Carrier Detect.
5.2.3 Power supply connector The power supply connector is a 2-pin connector for an external DC power supply connection, which can handle voltage from range 5..30 V DC, 2.5 W max. continuous power. Singal Description V+BATTERY 5 V – 30 V DC Ground Attention! An attempt to power up the terminal from a DC source outside of 5..30 V range may result...
5.2.4 SIM card holder A SIM card holder is placed at the front of RB600 terminal (as shown below) and is accessible externally. To insert a SIM card into the holder, press the yellow button, eject the little drawer, place the SIM card inside and insert the drawer into the modem (you will hear a click).

7. Using the modem 7.1 Setting up the modem To set up the modem, do the following steps: Eject the SIM card holder using the yellow button and pull out the drawer. Insert your SIM card into the drawer. ...
For further information about AT commands and their usage, refer to [1]. 7.4 Status of the modem (LEDs) The operational status of the RB600 Terminal is shown by external LEDs placed on the front panel of the modem. The table below shows the meaning of the LEDs.
7.5 Disabling and enabling echo function If echo is not displayed when entering an AT command, that means: The local echo function in software (such as Hyperterminal) is disabled The echo function of the modem is disabled To enable echo function of the modem enter the ATE1 command. In Machine to Machine communication it is recommended to disable echo function (type ATE0) in order to avoid non-essential CPU usage.
7.6 Verifying the signal strength The RB600 terminal can establish a connection with a network if the received signal strength is sufficiently strong. To verify the signal strength and bit error rate, do the following: Using software such as Hyperterminal enter AT+CSQ. This command displays the received signal strength indication <rssi>...
7.8 Network registration 7.8.1 GSM network registration To check the GSM network registration status enter AT+CREG? into the software (for instance Hyperterminal). The modem will answer in the following format: +CREG: <n>,<stat>[,<lac>,<ci>] The following table shows the +CREG parameters: <parameter> Description <n>...
7.9 GPRS network registration To check GPRS network registration status enter AT+CGREG? into the software (for instance Hyperterminal) Modem will answer in the following format: +CGREG: <n>,<stat>[,<lac>,<ci>] The following table shows the +CGREG parameters: <parameter> Description <n> 0 Disables the network registration unsolicited result code. 1 Enables the network registration unsolicited result code +CGREG: <stat>.
