Page 15: Verify Smc Modem Connectivity
Verify SMC Modem Connectivity Power on the SMC test board (+12VDC typical), then start HyperTerminal. Figure 5.2 HyperTerminal screen responses The ATI command prints the cell module product information. If you get an Error or no communication, verify the modem is connected to the proper COM port and powered on. Refer to Figure 5.2 for all the AT commands listed below. -
Page 16: Smc-Cdma Provisioning
OMA-DM SPRINT Sprint provides customer functionality and miscellaneous services that will utilize "server-initiated" OMA DM sessions. These services include, but are not limited to, firmware updates, PRL updates, and application downloads, etc. The OMA-DM sessions can be initiated by the network (NI) or by the Client (CI). Sprint requires that OMA-DM runs in profile 0, and other data sessions run in profile 1. -
Page 17: Verify Activation Using Hyperterminal
Verify Activation using HyperTerminal With the provisioned SMC-CDMA modem installed, power on the SMC test board (+12VDC typical) and start HyperTerminal as described in Section 5. Type the AT+MIPCALL=1 command to start a PPP connection with the carrier network. If the module is provisioned properly, an IP address will be assigned. Type AT+MPING=1,”www.google.com”. -
Page 18: Verify Activation Using A Dial-Up-Network Connection
Verify Activation using a Dial-Up-Network Connection A Windows Dial-up network connection can be used to verify carrier activation on the network. Create a dial-up network connection using a standard modem set to 115200 bps. Go to the Network Connections screen and double click on the Dial-Up connection (example: SMC-CDMA). When the connect window appears, set the username and password as defined for your carrier (usually blank). - Page 19 The modem will attempt to connect to the provider network. If the configured baud rate for the COM port, the modem, and the DUN do not match, the DUN will not be able to talk to the modem properly and you will get a hardware error message. Otherwise the DUN will contact the cellular network and authenticate the user on the network.
- Page 20 Right click on the connected Dial-Up connection icon and select the Details tab. The status of the connection will be displayed, including the IP address assigned by the carrier network. 001-0004-819 Rev01 Page 20 of 62...

Page 21: Smc-Cdma Operational Features
This section provides information on various features and call scienerios using the SMC-CDMA modem with the SMC Development/Test board and HyperTerminal. The SMC-CDMA modem integrates Telit’s MOT-C24 cell module and uses it’s serial UART interface. See related document, MOT by Telit C24 Developer’s Guide, AT Commands Reference Manual [1] for more detailed descriptions and examples for all features and call types. -
Page 22: Circuit Switched Data (Csd)
Circuit Switched Data (CSD) Data transfer over Circuit Switched Data (CSD) is possible. Once the connection is established, data can be transferred to and from the remote side. CSD operation enables the terminal to perform a data transfer over a circuit switched link. It enables the user to: Connect to a remote modem without any Internet network involvement. -
Page 23: Short Message Service (Sms)
Short Message Service (SMS) The SMS feature provides means for SMS messages handling and the reporting of SMS reception events. The SMC modem SMS implementation is based on the 3GPP 23.040 specification. The SMS, as defined within the GSM 800/1900 digital mobile phone standard: A single short message can be up to 160 characters of ASCII text in length (7-bit coded). -
Page 24: Fax
The SMC modem supports FAX Service Class 2.0. A Service Class 2.0 facsimile provides a level of services necessary to support Group 3 facsimile operation. This requires support from the facsimile terminal to implement the recommended T.30/T.32 procedures for document facsimile transmission and recommended T.4 for representing facsimile images. -
Page 25: Internet Services
Internet Services The modem has an embedded TCP/IP stack that is driven by AT commands and enables the host application to easily access the Internet. The advantage of this solution is that it eliminates the need for the application manufacturer to implement their own TCP/IP and PPP stacks, thus minimizing cost and time to integrate Internet connectivity into a new or existing host application. -
Page 26: Udp/Ip
3. After connecting to the CDMA 1x network, the "server" sends its IP address to the SMC modem using an alternative connection (for example, CSD, SMS and so on). 4. The server application listens on a known port, waiting for SMC modem to connect. 5. -
Page 27: Online Data Mode
5. Sending (accumulating) data is done using the +MIPSEND command. 6. Actual send is done using the +MIPPUSH command, by specifying the IP address and port number of the destination. NOTE: Every +MIPPUSH sets the destination IP address and destination port number for the current and future transactions. - Page 28 Each socket, opened in Online Data Mode, allocates an accumulating buffer whose size is 1372 bytes. When the user sends amount of data, less then the buffer size, the data is being sent to Network after a spooling timeout (200 mS), otherwise the data is being sent to Network immediately.

Page 29: Ftp Connection
FTP Connection SMC modem implements FTP connection feature, based on RFC959 standard, and operates as a FTP client. When connected to a remote FTP server, SMC modem is able to receive information about remote file system, manage it and perform files transfer operations. The AT+FTPOPEN command is used to open a FTP connection with a remote FTP server. - Page 30 The file transfer operation allows the user to transfer a file over an established FTP connection. To avoid end-of-file detection problem for user in download case and for SMC modem in upload case, SMC modem implements a special format of transferred files over FTP connection. The format proposed "escaping"...
