5.1.3 Checking the communication with the modem 5.1.3.1 Without Library The GenLoc 41e does not contain any library, it will return the menu of the Bootloader. Connect the link RS232 between the DTE (the COM port) and the modem (DCE).
Set the RS232 port of the DTE according to your parameters (speed, data bits, parity and stop bit). Use a communication software like Windows HyperTerminal ®. Check the display and the dialogue with the GenLoc 41e according to your own characteristics. Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only.

Module in data, voice or GPRS communication. 5.3.1.4 The owner application The GenLoc 41e contains your application. The led status depends on your parameters. 5.3.2 GPS led The positioning status of the modem is indicated by the GREEN GPS LED situated on the back side of the Description modem.
5.5 Checking the quality of the GSM reception signal The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER) in this case, the modem will be able to make a call only if the received GSM signal is sufficient.
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the PIN code is necessary to make a call or to accept a response coming from the GSM network. This code is held in the SIM card and can be modified by the user.
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the reading of a GPS position can be done with the command AT+GPSPOS. This command allows to get the information received of the current position. After powering on the modem, an acquisition time is necessary (around 45 seconds).

5.9 Main AT commands (HAYES) The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the table below shows the main AT commands necessary for the control of the modem. Other AT commands are available, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER.
5.11 Updating procedure of the modem To be able to benefit from the latest functions of the GenLoc 41e, an updating procedure can be used to upgrade the software program in the modem. This procedure consists in downloading the software into the internal Flash memory of the modem via the RS232 link available on the 15-pin Sub HD connector.
Is the modem without echo and Send the command ATE1Q0 followed by AT&W without message reporting? if a backup is required . Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only. ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications. Dct_427_02...
The modem returns a message "ERROR" (in response to an AT command) in the following cases: ▪ The COM port is not directed to the modem GenLoc 41e but to another modem. Enter ATI0, and the response must be "LEON-G100-xxx-yy". Any other response indicates a dialog with another modem.
For more information about the error codes returned after having sent the command AT+CEER, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER. Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only. ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications. Dct_427_02...
) falls below 6.5 V or 7.2 V depending on the presence of the battery option or not. Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only. ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications. Dct_427_02...
7.2.2 Internal battery option 7.2.2.1 Presentation of internal battery option The battery is fixed inside the GenLoc 41e. It is connected to an additional charging circuit cabled on the mother board of the GenLoc 41e. This battery allows to maintain the GenLoc 41e functioning in case of absence of its external power supply (power supply connected on the Micro-FIT 4-pin female connector).
7.2.2.4 Indication of presence/absence of the external power supply The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the command AT+GPIOGET=27 allows to know the status of the external power supply for the internal battery.
The RS232 interface is internally protected (ESD protection) against electrostatic peaks coming from the RS232. Filter guarantees: following certification CE. Descriptions and non-contractual illustrations in this document are given as an indication only. ERCOGENER reserves the right to make any modifications. Dct_427_02...

7.4 Inputs/Outputs functioning The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, the modem GenLoc 41e provides 3 inputs (opto-coupled) and 1 output (open collector) available for an external use. These functions can be controlled by AT commands: AT+GPIOSET for a writing access to a GPIO with the GPIO used as an output, AT+GPIOGET for a reading access to the GPIO with the GPIO used as an input.
Using the RESET does not restore the factory parameters. For more information about the Software RESET, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER and see paragraph 5.10 and detach it correctly from the operator network. 7.6.2 RESET sequence To activate the emergency RESET sequence, the RESET signal must be put to a low level during at least 10 As soon as the modem has been RESET, if a SIM card is inserted inside the SIM reader, you must wait for the end of the initialization before accessing it again.
The audio interface is standard to connect a telephone handset (the command AT+UHFP allows the Handset selection, see the document "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER). ERCOGENER advises the use of the cable DATA/AUDIO Sub D 9pts Fem / Sub HD 15pts Male / RJ9 (order code 4404000205) and a telephone handset (order code 3153400000).
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, by default, the GenLoc 41e provides a Buzzer output on output 1 (instead of the DCD) of the 15-pin Sub-D connector. This output provides a PWM output, and is used to drive a Transducer.
The modem contains the EGM standard library (see the documents "EG_EGM_CL_xxx_yy" of ERCOGENER); in this case, it is possible to use directly the GPS frames via the RS232 (V24). In this case, the internal analog switch allows to transfer the transmission and reception signals of the GPS module directly to the RS232 serial link.
7.11 Internal processor 7.11.1 EGM presentation The GenLoc 41e has an ARM7 processor that allows to have an embedded application developed from the EGM libraries and based upon eCos. The EGM libraries supplied by ERCO &GENER contain the following elements: ●...
