Chapter 1 – Safety Information and

Product Description

The Multi-Tech iSMS is an intelligent Short Message Services (SMS) server that empowers businesses with the

ability to broadcast and receive SMS text messages with a click of a button. The ready-to-use solution simply

plugs into the Ethernet network and connects to the wireless network via an integrated quad-band GSM

modem. Now anyone on the network can broadcast messages allowing organizations to reach clients,

subscribers, members and prospects in real-time via SMS.

Safety Warnings

Ethernet Port Caution

The Ethernet port is not designed to be connected to a Public Switched Telecommunication Network

(PSTN).

Handling Precautions

All devices must be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage due to the accumulation of static

charge. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect

of this static build up, proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge

during handling and mounting.

Before servicing any part of the MultiModem iSMS system, read the instructions and cautions in this

section. This information explains how to work safely when servicing product. Observe the following safety

precautions when setting up the equipment:

•Follow all cautions, warnings, and instructions.

•Ensure that the voltages and frequency rating of the power receptacle match the electrical rating label

on the equipment.

•Never push or attach objects of any kind through openings inside the equipment. Object may touch

dangerous voltage points or short components, resulting in fire or electric shock.

Caution: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s

antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The modem is not designed for, nor

intended to be, used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the user.

SF 100 SIM Card Installation

A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is required in order for the MultiModem iSMS to operate on a

GPRS network. To install the SIM card:

1. Remove power from the unit before proceeding.

2. Use a small screwdriver to remove the screw closest to the outside edge of the MultiModem iSMS.

Then swing the SIM slot cover up and over to the left.

3. Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot. The following graphic shows a partial front panel

illustrating the correct SIM card orientation.

4. Swing the cover back to its original placement and replace the screw. Reattach the power supply.

Chapter 1 – Safety Information and Product Description

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MultiModem® iSMS User Guide for Administrators 9

SF 400/800 SIM Card Installation

SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards are required for the MultiModem iSMS to operate on a GPRS

network. To install the SIM cards:

1. Power off the unit and unplug the power cord. Do not under any circumstances remove protective

power supply cover. Harmful voltages may be exposed if cover is removed, and can lead to electrical

shock and or death.

2. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of stored static electricity that can damage electrical

circuitry or components. Static electricity is often stored in your body, and discharged when you come

in contact with an object of a different potential.

Perform the procedure below (removal of chassis cover) described in this section only at an ESD

workstation using an antistatic wrist strap. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD

protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal ground screw (lug) next to

power switch of MultiModem iSMS chassis.

3. Use a small screwdriver to remove the six (6) screws on the back of the MultiModem iSMS as shown by

the red circles below. Then lift the top cover from the back of the unit and then slide towards the front

to remove.

4. Insert the SIM cards into the SIM card slots on the internal wireless modems. Each modem has a

graphic line depicting the correct SIM card orientation. These receptacles are highlighted by the two

red boxes in the illustration below (SF 800 model shown).

5. To re-attach the cover, start with the cover tilted up and align the “teeth” with the gaps between

those on the bottom of the chassis as shown by the red arrows in the illustration above.

6. Rotate the cover down and push towards the rear of the unit until it is flush.

7. Insert the six (6) screws back in to the unit and tighten.

Modem Numbering

When using the Web interface, the modem tabs correspond to the internal modems with the numbering

scheme shown below. The row of LEDs shows where the front of the unit is. Unpopulated modems should

be disabled as described in Network Setup.

Signal Strength

Signal Strength Command

To View Strength

For the SF 400/800 models without signal LEDs, signal strength can be viewed by using the following

AT command: AT+CSQ.This command is the default setting on the Network Setup > Cellular Modem

screen. This works for theSF 100 as well.

AT Command Response Example

+CSQ: xx, 99 (For xx, see the values chart below)

Signal Strength Reference Table

The following table lists the meaning of the xx values in the signal strength response and explains how

they correspond to the number of LEDs lit for signal strength.

AT+CSQ xx Values SF 100 Signal LED Bars Signal Strength

0 to 6 No light Very weak signal

7 to 14 1 Bar LED is lit Weak signal

15 to 23 1 Bar and 2 Bar LEDs are lit Stronger signal

24 to 31 1 Bar, 2 Bar, 3 Bar LEDs are lit Strongest signal
