cables with cross section 0.5mm ÷2.5mm
are shown in the figure and the tables below:
C1 'Power' – 3P terminal block
No Description
1, 3 Power input L, N
2 Power Grounding input PE
С2 'RS-232C' – RJ-45 (programming/readout)
No Description
1, 4, 6, 7, 8 Not connected
2 RXD
3 TXD
5 GND
The cable, connecting MBGP-1 to an m-bus converter type
MBRS (RS-232 RJ45-RJ45 cross) is part of the package.
The cable for initial programming (RS-232 DB9-RJ45 cross) is
not delivered with MBET-2 as it is part of the package of every
m-bus converter type MBRS.
4. Warranty
The warranty of the device is limited to 3 years from the date of sale. If the device shows any
defect or malfunctions during that period, the manufacturer is obligated to repair the device in its own
service for manufacturer's expense, or, if the repair is impossible, to replace the device with new one. The
transportation costs to the manufacturer's service are due to the client. The warranty voids if this manual'
instructions are not met, warranty seals are removed or the device was opened by unauthorized by the
manufacturer personnel.

Instruction manual
MBGP-1 is a GSM/GPRS data transceiver for use in remote reading systems, mostly m-bus. It
has one RS-232C interface for connection to the network master converter (like MBRS-xx) and for initial
programming. It operates in GSM networks and needs operational SIM card (mini-SIM) with activated
GPRS service.

2. MBGP-1 operation
МBGP-1 begins operation immediately after power-up. After initialization (about 2s), the
programmed MBGP-1 enters "Command mode"/ checks for connection time. The connection with servers
is initiated by MBGP-1 (client). All of the contacted servers must have static real IP-addresses in order for
MBGP-1 to be able to connect to them. MBGP-1 can contact up to six servers – two "control" operators
and four "data" operators. The two control servers can program all network access settings and have no
access to the transmitted data. Otherwise, the data operators can access only the data, but cannot
program any network parameters. If it is needed for an operator to have access both to the network
settings and the data, its IP-address must be set both as control and data operator. Accessible mediums
for every data operator may be programmed, so, for example, the operator which monitors water
consumption, cannot access the data, monitored by gas supplier and vice-versa.
MBGP-1 tries to connect to the servers after predetermined period of time (default 1h). Each of the
servers can accept or reject the incoming connection. If the connection is accepted, MBGP-1 starts with
identification data packet to identify the remote reading network, connected to this particular MBGP-1.
After identifying the network the server can reprogram network parameters (for control operators) or
access network data (data operators). After reprogramming the parameters or gathering the data, the
server sends packet for closing the connection. After receiving this packet, MBGP-1 closes the connection
and tries to connect to the next server in the list until all the servers in the list are contacted. Then MBGP-
1 waits for predetermined period of time before attempting to connect again to the first server in the list.
If the connection is accepted by the server, but then there is no communication for predefined period
of time (default 300s), MBGP-1 drops the connection and goes to the next server in the list. The
connection is dropped after the same period of inactivity from the server.
Initial parameters programming is essential and includes setting the connection parameters (Access
Point Name, user id, password, SIM PIN) and remote reading network parameters (baud rate and parity of
serial connection, remote reading network number). These parameters must be set first, and after
successful connection all the parameters can be set remotely by the server.
Direct programming of the parameters can be done with simple terminal program (like GiCom) or by
special software. When using terminal program, the parameters are set as follows: each line starts with
the keyword "SET", then space, then parameter code, "=" sign, value of the parameter. Like this:
SET IPMA=77.70.121.93 sets the first control operator (manufacturer) IP-address for this network
to 77.70.121.93
After parameter value there should not be any additional characters (like CR, LF, etc.), the string
should be send to the MBGP-1 directly. MBGP-1 responds to every command with either success or error.
