GX GSM

1. Introduction

The GX GSM is an accessory for Venus-devices. It is a cellular modem; providing a mobile internet for

the system and connection to Victron Remote Management (VRM).

It requires a full sized SIM card; and connects to the Venus-device with a (supplied) 1m USB cable.

A small indoor GSM antenna is included. As an option we also sell an outdoor GSM antenna (Part

Number: GSM900200100)

GPS

Besides internet, the GX GSM also has a GPS receiver. To use that, buy the optional active GSM

antenna. (Part Number GSM900100100)

Compatibility

Color Control GX

Venus GX

Octo GX

The GX GSM requires Venus OS v2.20 or newer to be installed on the Venus-device.

When to use a mobile router instead

The GX GSM only provides an internet connection for the Venus-device: there is no option to share the

internet to laptops, phones, or other devices.

For installations where more devices need internet, such as a yacht or RV, consider installing a mobile

router instead. More information here.

2. Installation

Mount the device and connect the antenna. Consider using the outdoor antenna when installing the

GX GSM in a closed metal enclosure.

Insert the SIM card. You will need to eject the SIM card tray with a pen or other pointy object. Be

aware that the SIM card try sits slightly recessed inside the unit. Be sure to push it all the way in.

Connect the GX GSM to the Venus device with the supplied USB cable. Use a USB hub if all USB

sockets are already in use.

Connect DC power supply (8 to 70 VDC). A 1.4M wire is included, with M10 lugs and an inline fuse.

After power-up, the blue LED will be solid blue. Next, once it has registered on a network, it will start

blinking slowly. Finally, when it has established the internet connection, it will be blinking fast.

3. Conﬁguration

When using a SIM card with its SIM-pin security disabled, the system will work without further

conﬁguration. Verify operation by .. ? (Check VRM Last log data?)

Setting a SIM pin helps reducing the risk of the SIM card being stolen and used. Use a mobile phone to

set the SIM pin, and there after conﬁgure it on the Venus device.

Settings → GSM modem → PIN code

Some mobile networks require manual conﬁguration of an APN specially when roaming. Contact your

operator.

APN name can be conﬁgured in Settings → GSM Modem → APN.

4. Status

GSM modem status can be checked at a glance by looking at the status bar.

Icon Details

GSM modem is connected to network, but not to the internet (no data connection). Either on

purpose, because an ethernet or WiFi connection is available.

GSM modem is properly conﬁgured, the 3G/E/etc icon reﬂects that the GSM modem internet

connection is in use.

WiFi is available and its internet connection is in use. WiFi has priority over GSM.

SIM PIN code is required.

Roaming, only informative. To use internet connection while roaming it needs to be enabled

Settings → GSM modem → Allow roaming.

5. Trouble shooting

Step Details

1 Power Check that the blue LED is either lit continuous or blinking

2 USB The modem must be connected to USB, and visible in the Settings → GSM modem

3 Simcard If enabled, PIN code must be conﬁgured in Settings → GSM modem → PIN

4 Signal strength 1 bar for VRM logging, 2/3 bars for remote console

5 Network Check that a network name is visible. If it is not, contact your simcard provider

and/or insert the simcard in a phone to double check its operation.

You also need to remember that an outdoor antenna typically increases received signal by 15 dB to

25 dB. (verify)
