2 . Setup:
To ensure proper setup of MobilSwitch-Micro-c, the following instructions should be performed in order:
1The SIM PIN must be removed from the SIM card
2
3
4
By inserting the SIM card into a traditional mobile phone, the SMS-sending
ability of the card must be checked. Newly issued SIM cards have an initial
credit that can only be used for voice calls, thus the SMS-sending ability is
enabled only after topping-up the card. Call-forwarding has to be disabled.
Carrier-issued SMS-s for missed calls must be disabled too. In the case of
prepaid cards, displaying the caller-ID functionality must be enabled via the
carrier customer service (enabling the “show caller-ID” option in the
settings of a handheld mobile phone is not sufficient when using prepaid
cards).
The nanoSIM card has to be inserted in the correct position into its slot
located at the back of the module, as shown in the figures.
The power supply has to be connected in a polarity-correct position. After
power-on, the device connects to a cellular network. The green LED blinks
periodically after the device is successfully initialized.
5The configurator software can be either launched from the installation CD
or can be downloaded from our website www.seasoft.hu. The software can
be simply launched, there is no need for software installation.
6After launching the “Unified” configurator software, the device should be
connected to the PC with a microUSB cable.
7The software automatically recognizes the device family and device type,
and it shows its picture along with its wiring instructions. The software
automatically loads the default configuration parameters.
8It is advised to query the status of the device (state of inputs, outputs,
supply voltage, signal strength, etc.) to check if the device is registered to
the GSM network. After downloading the configuration, the USB should be
detached before powering the device off.
9After downloading the configuration and powering the module off, it should be turned on again and the overall
functionality based on the configuration should be tested thoroughly.
3. Description of LEDs:
- Yellow (continous): After power-on, the yellow LED is on for approximately 10 seconds. During this period, the
GSM is initialized. While the module is searching and registering to a GSM network, the yellow
LED blinks. After approximately 40 seconds, the yellow blinking stops and turns into green.
- Green (blinking) The frequency of the blinking reflects the signal strength. More blinks within a period mean
greater signal strength.
1 blink than pause - very weak signal, module sometimes disconnects from network, it is
advised to relocate the device.
2 blinks than pause - weak signal, device may disconnect from network which results in
approximately 30 seconds of outage while the device restarts
3 blinks than pause - medium signal strength, device is capable of stable operation
4 blinks than pause - strong signal, device is capable of stable operation
5 blinks than pause - maximum signal strength
- Yellow (blinking) The yellow LED is blinking during network communication (SMS or voice communication).
- Red (fast blinking) The module cannot find GSM network or antenna is faulty. It may also indicate the followings:
SIM card error, SIM PIN is not disabled, SMS or voice modes are disabled on SIM card.
