1.0 Safety Precautions
1.1 Important Safety Information
The following information applies to the devices described in this manual. Always observe all
standard and accepted safety precautions and guidelines when handling any electrical device.
• Save this manual: it contains important safety information and operating instructions.
• Do not expose the Enfora Enabler II-G product to open flames.
• Ensure that liquids do not spill into the devices.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the product: Doing so will void the warranty. With the exception
of the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM), this product does not contain consumer-
serviceable components.
2.0 Regulatory Compliance FCC
2.1 Integration Considerations and Installation Requirements
The Enabler II-G OEM GPRS modem is designed for use in a variety of host units, "enabling" the
host platform to perform wireless data communications. However, there are certain criteria relative
to integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, handheld or PocketPC, monitor
and control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC
compliance requirements.
• The modem was tested and certified to meet FCC Parts 15 and 24 in a stand-alone configuration,
which demonstrated that the Enabler II-G complies with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the
device into which it may be installed. Further, to provide relief in certain applications for the host
integrator, the Enabler II-G was approved under the "modular approval" process for a transmitter.
This approach, described by FCC Public Notice DA 00-131407 released June 26, 2000, is intended
to afford relief to equipment manufacturers by eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new
equipment authorization for the same transmitter when installed in a new device. However, the
host platform integrator must follow all installation instructions detailed in the Integration Guide and
as outlined in this section on Considerations and Requirements.
• In order to use the Enabler II-G without additional FCC certification approvals, the installation must
meet the following conditions:
• For the transmitter to meet the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of 2.1091, the ERP
must be less than 1.5 watts for personnel separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9 in).
Therefore, the maximum antenna gain cannot exceed +3.3dBi. If greater than 1.5 watts exists,
then additional testing and FCC approval is required.
• If used in a "portable" application such as a handheld device with the antenna less than 20 cm
(7.9 in.) from the human body when the device is operating, then the integrator is responsible
for passing additional "as installed" testing:
• SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, with results submitted to the FCC for approval
prior to selling the integrated unit. If unable to meet SAR requirements, then the host unit
must be restricted to "mobile" use (see below).
• Unintentional emissions, FCC Part 15; results do not have to be submitted to the FCC
unless requested, although the test provides substantiation for required labeling (see
below).
Integration Guide
Version 1.00
GSM0100PB001 Page 5 1.00 - 8/26/03
• If used in a "mobile" application where the antenna is normally separated at least 20 cm
(7.9 in) from the human body during device operation, then an appropriate warning label
must be placed on the host unit adjacent to the antenna. The label should contain a
statement such as the following:
WARNING
RF exposure. Keep at least 20 cm
(7.9 in) separation distance from
the antenna and the human body.
• Host unit user manuals and other documentation must also include appropriate caution and
warning statements and information.
• If the FCCID for the modem is not visible when installed in the host platform, then a
permanently attached or marked label must be displayed on the host unit referring to the
enclosed modem.
For example, the label should contain wording such as:
Contains GSM/GPRS modem transmitter module
FCC ID: MIVGSM0107
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
or
Contains FCC ID: MIVGSM0107
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
• Any antenna used with the modem must be approved by the FCC or as a Class II Permissive
Change (including MPEL or SAR data as applicable). The "professional installation" provision
of FCC Part 15.203 does not apply.
• The transmitter and antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter. Violation of this would allow a user to plug another transmitter in to the
product and potentially create an RF exposure condition.
WARNING
The transmitter and antenna must not be collocated
or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. Failure to observe
this warning could produce an RF exposure
condition.

6.7 Control Connector Signal Descriptions and Functions
6.7.1 Input Power
The Enfora Enabler II-G module uses a single voltage source of VCC=+3.3V to 4.5V. (exact values of the
uplink currents are shown in Tables5.3.1 GSM Operating Power and 5.3.2 GPRS Operating Power). The
VCC lines (pins 1 to 6) should be connected on the application board. The uplink burst will cause strong
ripple on the voltage lines and should be effectively filtered. It is recommended that 1000 to 2000 uF of
capacitance be placed as close to the modem I/O connector as possible.
It should be noted that the input voltage level should not drop below the minimum voltage rating under any
circumstances, especially during the uplink burst period.

6.7.2 Ring Indicate
The Enabler II-G module is capable of using the Ring line to discern the type of incoming call. The indicator
can be monitored via a hardware line available on the 60 pin I/O signal connector. The Ring Indicator pin is
#49.
The function of the Ring line depends on the type of the call received.
When the module is receiving a voice call, the Ring line goes low for 1 second and high for another 2
seconds. Every 3 seconds the ring string is generated and sent over the Receive (Data Out) (Rx) line. If
there is a call in progress and call waiting is activated for a connected handset or hands free device, the
Ring pin switches to ground in order to generate acoustic signals that indicate the waiting call.
When a Fax or data call is received, Ring goes low and will remain low. Every 3 seconds a ring string is
generated and sent over the Receive (Data Out) (Rx) line.
An incoming SMS can be indicated by an Unsolicited Result Code (URC) which causes the Ring line to go
low for 1 second only. Using the AT+CNMI command, the Enabler II-G can be configured to send or not to
send URCs upon the receipt of SMS. See Enfora GSM/GPRS OEM Module AT Command Set Reference
- GSM0102PB001MAN.

6.7.3 Serial Interface (9 Pin I/F) (See table in section 6.5.1 I/O Connector Pin Assignments)
The modem provides a standard 16550 UART serial interface to the host. The data interface operates at
CMOS level. The Enabler II-G is designed to be used like a DCE device. RxData is the serial data from the
modem to the host. TxData is the serial data from the host to the modem.
Figure 10 Enabler II-G Serial Interface
This data may contain 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits, even/odd/no parity bits. The baud rate may be
adjusted to 75, 150, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bits per second.
Default settings are 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, and 115200 baud. DTR may be used to force the modem into
AT command mode from online data mode. RTS and CTS may be used for hardware handshaking. DSR is
always active (connected to ground) while the modem is on. RING may be used to alert the host to a variety
of incoming calls.
For a minimal implementation, connect RxData and TxData to the COM port serial data lines, connect DTR
and RTS to GND.

6.8 Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Carrier
The SIM, an integral part of any GSM terminal device, is a “smart card” that is programmed with
subscriber information:
• The user information consists of an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, which is
registered with the GSM provider, and an encryption Ki (pronounced "key"). This information
consists of a microprocessor and memory installed on a plastic card.
Note: The SIM is not provided with the Enfora Enabler II-G module. The SIM must be obtained from the
GSM service provider and must be provisioned by the operator for data and/or voice. Always
take care to protect the SIM: the GSM terminal will not operate without the SIM installed.
The SIM provides the IMSI for authentication. To gain access to the GSM network, the network
must recognize the IMSI number, and the terminal must be able to properly decrypt the data sent
by the network. The SIM also serves as a buffer for SMS messages, storing the message for
transmission until a radio link is available and buffering received messages until retrieved.
6.8.1 SIM Integration for the Enfora Enabler II-G Module
The Enabler II-G default configuration does not include an on-board SIM carrier. Enfora provides a separate
product SKU for the Enabler II-G module with the integrated SIM carrier.

7.0 Modes of Operation
GSM/GPRS supports many optional services and modes. The Enfora Enabler II-G module supports the
following GSM/GPRS services:
• Circuit-switched data
• Short-Message Services (SMS)
• Class B GPRS Functionality
• Voice communication
7.1 Enabling the Transmission Modes for the GSM/GPRS Services
Each of the GSM/GPRS services has two modes that can be enabled separately:
• Mobile-originated (MO): allows the making of a service request (such as, making a telephone call or
sending an SMS)
• Mobile-terminated (MT): allows receiving a service request (such as receiving a telephone call or an
SMS)
Note: Contact your local GSM operator to ensure that the services and modes have been provisioned for
the SIM.
7.2 Voice Communication
The Enfora Enabler II-G module has full voice capabilities, provided the necessary connections have been
made for the speaker and microphone pins on the 60-pin I/O connector. The Enfora Enabler-G AT
Command Set Reference - GSM0102PB001MAN has the entire list of commands that can be used to
control the voice functionality. The quick start guide in this manual provides a basic command set that can
be used to initialize and test the voice functionality.
The Enfora Enabler II-G module supports three vocoder compression algorithms for voice communication:
Full-Rate, Enhanced Full-Rate (EFR), and Half-rate (HR).
7.3 Circuit-Switched Data
In this mode, the Enfora Enabler II-G module supports both of the connection modes of transmission that
are provided by GSM:
• Non-Transparent mode delivers a constantly low error rate but with a non-guaranteed throughput or
delay. The Non-Transparent service provides a performance that is closest to using a modem over a
fixed Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line.
Note: All GSM service providers may not support Transparent mode. In those cases, the Enfora Enabler II-
G module can be configured to switch automatically to Non-Transparent mode. This capability depends on
the settings in the AT+CBST command.

7.4 SMS: Short Message Services
• Short Message Services (SMS) is a feature-rich GSM service. The Enfora Enabler II-G module can
perform the following tasks:
• Sending and receiving binary messages of up to 160 characters (7-bit characters)
• Sending and receiving text messages of up to 140 bytes (8-bit data)
• Submitting a SMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to a SMSC (Short Message Service Center) and storing a
copy of the PDU until either a report arrives from the network or a timer expires
• Receiving a SMS PDU from a SMSC
• Returning a delivery report to the network for a previously received message
• Receiving a report from the network
• Notifying the network when the module has sufficient memory capacity available to receive one or more
SMS messages (after the module had previously rejected a message because its memory capacity was
exceeded)
7.5 SMS Features Supported by the Enfora Enabler II-G Module
The following list details the key characteristics and assumptions regarding the form of SMS supported in
the Enfora Enabler II-G module.
• Supports both mobile-originated (MO) and mobile-terminated (MT) SMS

8.0 SIM Operation
8.1 Provisioning the SIM
The SIM can support optional features or services. Most operators typically configure the SIM to
send/receive voice calls and to receive SMS; however, some may require an additional tariff to enable the
SIM to send SMS. The transmission of circuit switched and GPRS data are also additional services that
may be required to allow the service:
• Mobile-originated (MO): allows making a service request (such as, making a call or sending an SMS)
• Mobile-terminated (MT): allows receiving a service request (such as, receiving a phone call or an SMS)
It is imperative for the Enfora Enabler II-G module that the SIM be configured for the optional services that
are required for the application.
8.2 GSM Services Supported by the Enfora Enabler II-G Module
The Enfora Enabler II-G module supports four GSM services (modes of operation) that must be enabled by
the operator:

9.0 Software Interface
9.1 Software Interface
The application sends commands to the Enfora Enabler II-G module via the 60-pin I/O signal connector.
These commands use the Enfora AT Command Set and/or Enfora’s Packet API.
The Enfora Enabler II-G module operates in one of the following modes:
• Command mode: Used for configuring the Enfora Enabler II-G module, for interrogating the GSM
network, and for placing and receiving calls. It uses the AT command set via the serial port for
communication.
• On-line mode: Used after a circuit-switched data call has been established. Data is passed between
the Enfora Enabler II-G module and the controlling application without command interpretation. The
only AT command that is interpreted in On-line mode is the +++ command. (This command places the
Enfora Enabler II-G module in Command mode but does not terminate the circuit-switched data call.)
• IP Packet /API Mode: Used to read/write modem parameters, interrogate network information, and
place and receive calls in real-time, multi-tasking mode. The Packet API mode is facilitated over a PPP
connection and the packets can be constructed according to the information provided in the Enfora
GSM-GPRS Family UDP-API Reference GSM0102PB002MAN. Enfora GSM-GPRS Family Modem
Control Library Reference GSM0000PB006MAN provides detail of the UDP Modem Control Library that
has three levels: port , messaging, and modem libraries. Each of the three levels contains one or more
libraries. For example, the port libraries layer has UDP PPP Port, UDP Socket Port, and COM Port
libraries. All libraries are provided as a part of the Enfora Enabler II-G Integration Toolkit.
The AT command driver of the Enfora Enabler II-G module never exits the Command state, that is, it never
enters the On-line mode. Although the host interface may not be able to access the AT command
interpreter, it is always running and is available via the API Mode over a PPP connection and/or via the RF
interface.
• In the Command state, characters that are received from the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) are
treated as AT commands by the Enfora Enabler II-G module.
• In response to the commands received from the CPE, the Enfora Enabler II-G module sends characters
(AT commands) to the CPE.
• Various events can also trigger the Enfora Enabler II-G module to send characters (AT commands) to
the CPE.
9.2 Format for the AT Commands
The general format of the command line is: <prefix> <command> <CR>
<prefix> AT
<command> See AT Command Manual
<CR> 0X0D
The prefix AT obtains synchronization, identifies the character parameters, and indicates that a command
may be in the following characters.
AT commands are not case sensitive: use either capital letters or lower-case letters for the AT command.
Note: Some AT Command parameter values ARE case sensitive and are documented in the Enfora
Enabler-G AT Command Set Reference - GSM0102PB001MAN.

10.1.2 Initialization (AT Command Interface)
In the GSM vocabulary, a call from GSM mobile to the PSTN is called a "mobile-originated call" or "outgoing
call". A call from the fixed network to a GSM mobile is called a "mobile-terminated call" or "incoming call."
In the following examples, “Entry” refers to the application. The following convention describes the
direction of the data exchange:
• The data exchange from the customer application to the Enfora Enabler II-G module is designated as:
Entry
• The data exchange from the Enfora Enabler II-G module to the customer application is designated as:
Response
Note: With the exception of the +++ command (Online Escape Sequence), all commands must be preceded
by the AT attention code (or command prefix) and terminated by pressing the <CR> character.
In the following examples, the <CR> and <CR><LF> are intentionally omitted for clarity and space.

10.1.3 Initial Response to the AT Command
After power is applied to the Enfora Enabler II-G module, the module performs a power-up self-test. The
self-test completes within one (1) second. When queried with the AT command, the Enfora Enabler II-G
module responds with one of the following result codes:
• OK signifies that the Enfora Enabler II-G module is ready, that it correctly interprets the AT command,
and that it has executed the command.
• ERROR signifies that the Enfora Enabler II-G module does not understand the command or that the
command is invalid.
Entry AT

11.0 Integration and Testing
The Enfora Enabler II-G module has been designed to minimize the amount of time required for integration
and testing the application. By being fully certified by the appropriate bodies, the Enfora Enabler II-G
module provides seamless integration into the GSM network.
The integration issues for the application can be narrowed to the utilization of the AT commands and the use
of the GSM functionality. Coverage and signal quality may be evaluated by using the RSSI commands.
Additional network information can be determined by using AT commands.
Integration of the GPRS Packet capabilities is more complicated than using AT command sequences to
initiate the connection and begin transferring data. The following Application Notes should be used to
integrate the GPRS packet capabilities:

Integrating the Enfora Enabler II-G Module
Note: Generally, all interfaces that are externally available to the end user need to be ESD-
conditioned and terminated in some way. Many of these interfaces should not be connected with
power applied.
At the highest level, this is done using some type of GSM test equipment (such as, Racal 6103E), a
computer, and a serial interface tester. The GSM test equipment must be able to simulate a GSM
call and measure the key parameters related to the module.
Additionally, the serial interfaces and some minimal SIM functionality can be verified by sending AT
commands to the Enfora Enabler II-G module.
All of these conditions need to be verified at ambient as well as extreme conditions.
As part of integration, each of the following interfaces must be verified:
Information Recommendations
SIM The maximum line length of the SIM interface is 25.4 cm (10 inches).
The Enfora Enabler II-G module takes care of the signal conditioning
As a minimum, an external application with a remote SIM will require a standard SIM

Antenna gain is defined as gain in dBi (dB referenced to an isotropic radiator) minus cabling loss.
Note: Additional care must be taken by the installer and/or user of the Enfora Enabler II-G products to
ensure proper antenna selection and installation. Adherence to the above conditions is necessary to comply
with FCC requirements for safe operation regarding exposure to RF radiation.
Depending upon the application and type of product into which the Enfora Enabler II-G module has been
incorporated, specific OEM actions and responsibilities required to meet these conditions vary. However, in
all cases the primary concern is to ensure compliance with current FCC guidelines and regulations that limit
human exposure to radio frequency radiation.
Definitions
For the purpose of determining compliance with current FCC rules addressing human exposure to
radio frequency radiation, the FCC has established the following three categories of transmitting
devices:
• Portable Devices – devices where the antenna is located within 20 cm (7.87 inches) of
any person, including the user, if applicable. Portable devices operating under the
authority of Part 24 (broadband PCS) are limited to a maximum of 2 W EIRP.
• Mobile Devices – devices designed to be used in other than fixed locations and generally
such that the antenna is located at a minimum of 20 cm (7.87 inches) from any person,
including the user, if applicable. Mobile devices operating under the authority of Part 24
(broadband PCS) are limited to a maximum of 2 W EIRP.

GSM0100PB001 Page 55 1.00 - 8/26/03
• Fixed devices – devices in which the antenna, either integral to the product or remotely
located, is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another
location.
OEM Responsibilities for All Products Containing the Enabler II-G
In addition to any other regulatory requirements, OEMs and integrators must include or provide the following
information, instructions, warnings and labels with any device or product into which the Enfora Enabler II-G
PCS-1900 GSM transceiver has been incorporated:
Information Description
Detailed Operating
Instructions for
ensuring compliance
with current FCC
guidelines which limit
human exposure to
radio frequency
radiation
The OEM must provide an operating/installation manual with the final product which
clearly indicates that these operating conditions and restrictions must be observed
at all times to ensure compliance with current FCC guidelines which limit human
exposure to radio frequency radiation.
20 cm (7.87 inch) separation distance between the antenna and all persons must be
maintained at all times for all fixed and mobile products and applications
Portable devices and applications are prohibited unless such devices and products
are specifically authorized by the FCC
Maximum antenna gain is limited to 3 dBi* in mobile products and applications
Maximum antenna gain is limited to 7 dBi* in fixed products and applications.
Modifications and/or additions to the Enfora Enabler II-G PCS-1900 GSM
transceiver, including use of antennas with higher gain than those authorized by the
FCC, are prohibited
*dBi = antenna gain in dB relative to an isotropic radiator
Antenna Avoidance
Label
Attach the following warning label directly to
or displayed next to the antenna.
Furthermore, this label must be visible to
and easily readable by all persons in the
immediate vicinity of the antenna
WARNING
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a separation
distance of 20 cm (7.87”) or more
must be maintained between this
antenna and all persons

Specific OEM Responsibilities for Portable Products and Applications
Each device or product, into which the Enfora Enabler II-G PCS-1900 GSM transceiver has been
incorporated, and which is intended to be used in an application that meets the definition of "portable" MUST
be separately authorized by the FCC for the purposes of determining compliance with current FCC
guidelines limiting human exposure to radio frequency radiation.
Portable devices must be evaluated for RF exposure based on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits; further
information on such evaluations are available from the FCC via the Internet.
Specific OEM Responsibilities for Mobile Products and Applications
Separate or additional FCC approvals are NOT required for devices or products, into which the Enfora
Enabler II-G PCS-1900 GSM transceiver has been incorporated, that are used in applications that meet the
definition of "mobile."
For all end products, the OEM or integrator must provide instructions, warnings and labels to ensure that the
product complies with current FCC guidelines limiting human exposure to radio frequency radiation.
Current FCC regulations limit the EIRP of mobile devices to 2 W. Because the nominal RF output power of
the Enfora Enabler II-G PCS-1900 GSM transceiver is 1.0 W (30 dBm), antenna gain for mobile products
and applications cannot exceed 3 dBi.
Specific OEM Responsibilities for Fixed Products and Applications
Separate or additional FCC approvals are not required for devices or products, into which the Enfora
Enabler II-G GSM transceiver has been incorporated, that are used in applications that meet the definition of
"fixed.”
For all end products, the OEM or integrator must provide the instructions, warnings and labels to ensure that
the product complies with current FCC guidelines limiting human exposure to radio frequency radiation.
Separate or additional FCC approvals are required for devices or end products used in fixed applications
where antenna gain in excess of 7dBi is desired.
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) Approval
The Enfora Enabler II-G module has been tested by an NRTL and approved as a component for
incorporation into OEM products. The final product and application that incorporates the Enfora Enabler II-G
module will require separate verification of product safety approval.
