Signal
I/O
Description
Name
Type
-RESET I/O
Reset. This signal is used to force a reset procedure by providing low level during
at least 500µs. This signal is considered an emergency reset only. A reset
procedure is already driven by an internal hardware during the power-up
sequence.
This signal can also be used to provide a reset to an external device. It then acts
as an output. If no external reset is necessary, this input can be left open. If used
(emergency reset), it has to be driven by an open collector or an open drain.
GND
Ground
–RTS
Request to Send. The –RTS signal is used for hardware flow control.
–RXD
Received Data. The modem uses the –RXD line to send received data to the
DTE and to send modem responses to the DTE.
–TXD
Transmitted Data. The DTE uses the –TXD line to send data to the modem or to
transmit commands to the modem.
–RI
Ring Indicate. –RI output ON (low) indicates the presence of an ON segment of a
ring signal.
–DSR
Data Set Ready. The –DSR indicates modem status to the DTE. –DSR OFF
(high) indicates that the DTE is to disregard all signals appearing on the
interchange circuits except Ring Indicator (–RI). It reflects the status of the local
data set and does not indicate an actual link with any remote data equipment.
–CTS
Clear To Send. –CTS is controlled by the modem to indicate whether or not the
modem is ready to transmit data. –CTS ON, indicates to the DTE that signals
presented on TXD will be transmitted. –CTS OFF indicates to the DTE that it
should not transfer data across the interface on TXD.
–DCD
Data Carrier Detect. –DCD output is ON (low) when a data connection is
established.
–DTR
Data Terminal Ready (Active Low). The –DTR input is turned ON (low) by the
DTE when the DTE is ready to transmit or receive data. –DTR ON prepares the
modem to be connected, and, once connected, maintains the connection.
–DTR OFF places the modem in the disconnect state.

Ground plane: Multi-Tech recommends having a common ground plane for analog, digital, and
RF grounds.
ESD protection on serial link.
Possible spurious emission radiated by the application to the RF receiver in the receiver band
The Antenna
The antenna sub-system and integration in the application is a major issue. It is a major issue in the
choice of the antenna cable (type, length, performances, thermal resistance, etc.)
These elements could affect GSM performances such as sensitivity and emitted power.
The antenna should be isolated as much as possible from the digital circuitry including the interface
signals.
Multi-Tech recommends shielding the terminal. On terminals including the antenna, a poor shielding could
dramatically affect the sensitivity of the terminal. Subsequently, the power emitted through the antenna
could affect the application.
Soldering and Cleaning the SocketModem
The pins of the SocketModem may be hand soldered or wave soldered. If wave soldered, the temperature
on the top of the SocketModem must not exceed 100° C.
There should be no solvent or water washing of the SocketModem.
Do not use a hot air gun on the SocketModem.
Firmware Upgrade
The SocketModem firmware is stored in flash memory, and it can easily be upgraded. Contact the factory
for details.
Initial Configuration Using Mobile PhoneTools
For initial configuration of your wireless device, Multi-Tech offers a Windows-based mobile PhoneTools
application.

Appendix A – Safety Precautions and Regulatory Standards Compliance
Appendix A – Safety Precautions &
Regulatory Standards Compliance
Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT!
FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION
OF YOUR GSM INTEGRATED MODEM READ
THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE.
RF Safety
General
Your SocketModem is based on the GSM standard for cellular technology. The GSM standard is spread
all over the world. It covers Europe, Asia, and some parts of America and Africa. This is the most used
telecommunication standard. Your modem is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends
out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your SocketModem integrated modem, the
cellular system, which handles your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your
cellular modem.
Exposure to RF Energy
There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using GSM modems. Although
research on health effects from RF energy has focused on the current RF technology for many years,
scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research
had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been
concluded that the product was fitted for use. If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy there
are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your
exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular modem
efficiently by following the below guidelines.
Efficient Modem Operation
For your modem to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality :
· If your modem has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call
with the antenna retracted. However your modem operates more efficiently with the antenna fully
extended.
· Do not hold the antenna when the modem is IN USE. Holding the antenna affects call quality and
may cause the modem to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the modem with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin,
a minor burn may result. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Consult your manual to see if you
may change the antenna yourself. If so, use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Otherwise, have
your antenna repaired by a qualified technician. Use only the supplied or approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the modem and may contravene
local RF emission regulations or invalidate type approval.
16
Appendix A – Safety Precautions and Regulatory Standards Compliance
General Safety
Driving
Check the laws and the regulations regarding the use of cellular devices in the area where you have to
drive as you must comply with these laws and regulations. When using your modem while driving, please
give full attention to driving. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles, is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy may affect some improperly shielded electronic equipment.
Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check your vehicle manufacturer representative to determine if any on-board electronic equipment is
adequately shielded from RF energy.
Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Turn your modem OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using RF monitoring equipment.
Aircraft
Turn your modem OFF before boarding any aircraft.
· Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
· Do not use it in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member to use your modem while the aircraft is on the
ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem
while airborne.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your modem. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by
poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the
modem or make calls that increase your modem bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted “turn off two-way radio”. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your modem OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
modem or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injuries or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the
compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories. Before using your modem in a
vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies
with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.

The modem is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. "Fixed" means that
the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location.
"Mobile" means that the device is designed to be used in other than fixed locations and generally in such
a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter's
antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The Modem is not designed for or intended to be
used in portable applications (within 20 cm of the body of the user) and such uses are strictly prohibited.
To ensure that the unit complies with current FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power
and human exposure to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be
maintained between the unit's antenna and the body of the user and any nearby persons at all times and
in all applications and uses. Additionally, in mobile applications, maximum antenna gain must not exceed
3 dBi (to comply with Section 24.232(b) and is limited to 7 dBi for fixed applications. Finally, the tune-up
procedure for the O9EM2113 ensures that the maximum RF output power of the device does not exceed
30.0 dBm within the variations that can be expected due to quantity production and testing on a statistical
basis.
Instructions to OEMs
The Multi-Tech product manual includes specific warnings and cautions in order to ensure that OEMs are
aware of their responsibilities, with regards to RF exposure compliance, for products into which the
modem is integrated. With this guidance, the OEM will be able to incorporate into their documentation the
necessary operating conditions and warnings.
OEMs need to provide a manual with the ‘’final’’ product that clearly states the operating requirements
and conditions and that these must be observed to ensure compliance with current FCC RF exposure
requirements / MPE limits (see the “RF Exposures” section above). This will enable the OEM to generate
(and provide the end-user with) the appropriate operating instructions, warnings and cautions, and/or
markings for their product.

GSM Antenna
The integrated modem antenna connector is a MMCX connector. The MMCX connector incorporates a
'Snap On' latching action in order to make the connection easier with an excellent RF performance. An
additional advantage is its small physical size, which is 50% of the standard MCX connector.
This type of connector is suitable for the standard ranges of flexible and semi-rigid cables. The
characteristic impedance of the MMCX coaxial connector is 50 ohm. The antenna manufacturer must
guarantee that the antenna will be working according to the radio characteristics presented in the table
below.
