Following drivers are available for WinXP, Win2K and Win XP x64 edition:  Multifunction Adapter : Globetrotter Module 3G+ Bus  Modem : Globetrotter Module 3G+ Modem  Network : Globetrotter Module 3G+ Network Card  Ports : Globetrotter Module 3G+ Application Port  Ports : Globetrotter Module 3G+ Diagnostics Port  Smart Card : Globetrotter Module 3G+ Smart Card Interface (if applicable) Installation procedure: 1. If you have not already done so, install and connect the cradle. The unit shall be connected correctly only if the "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" appears. 2. By connecting the unit to the PC, Windows will detect new hardware and will ask to install the drivers. Insert the CD and install the drivers following the windows driver installation wizard. As there are 4 drivers the "Found new hardware" wizards needs to run 4 times. Further installation instructions will be given for Windows XP. 3. For Windows XP: on the first dialog ("connect to Windows Update ?") select No, not this time: Figure 1: Hardware wizard 4. On the next dialog, select "Install software automatically":

In chapter 2 a description is given how HyperTerminal can be configured. Here the necessary AT commands are specified to make a voice call. 1. AT_ODO=0 With this AT command circuit switched data transfer, which is needed for voice calls, is enabled The response on this AT command should be: OK 2. AT_OPCMENABLE=1 As a default the voice part of the firmware is disabled. To enable digital voice, the command above must be set. The response on this AT command should be: OK 3. AT_OPCMCONFIG=0,0,0,256,0,1,4 When this AT command is entered, the PCM voice codec on the module/datacard is configured correctly. The response on this AT command should be: OK 4. ATD<phone number>; To set up the call, the ATD command followed by a phone number must be used. NOTE: Do not forget the semi don (;) at the end of the AT command!!! The response on this AT command should be: OK 5 WHEN CARD DOESN’T REGISTER When the module/datacard doesn’t register, you can try to evaluate following settings: 1. At_opbm When not working in a shielded environment, all life networks could interfere with the signal coming from the CMU. When the simulated network is not in the same band as the surrounding life networks, this problem can be avoided by deselecting all other basebands but the one you are working in. This could be done using the at_opbm command: Extract from datasheet: Preferred Band Mode _OPBM Command Possible response(s) _OPBM=<band>,<n> OK _ OPBM =? _OPBM: (list of supported <band>s) _ OPBM? <band>: <n>[<CR><LF><band>: <n>[…]] Description This command is used to disable/enable specific frequency bands.

Biesemans Version: V01 –D1Creation Date: Dec 05, 2006 Page: 16 of 18 Option Confidential: This document is Option Confidential - it may not be duplicated, neither distributed externally without prior and written permission of Option NV. Defined Values <band> “ANY” : any band “EGSM” : EGSM (900MHz) band ”DCS” : DCS (1800MHz) band ”PCS” : PCS (1900MHz) band ”G850” : GSM 850MHz band ”U2100” : WCDMA 2100MHz band ”U1900” : WCDMA 1900MHz band “U1700” “U17IV” “U850” : WCDMA 1900MHz band <n> 0 : disable 1 : enable Eg: if you use GSM1900 (PCS) band, select only this band. All other bands have to be deselected. It is also very important to deselect EVERY UMTS band when trying to connect to a GSM network and vice versa: At_opbm = “PCS”,1 (selection of PCS band) At_opbm = “DCS”,0 (deselection of DCS band) Same for the other bands, also the UMTS bands!!! To check if the band is really (de)selected, use “at_opbm?” The bands showing 0 are deselected, the bands showing 1 are selected. 2. AT_OPSYS When the band settings did not work, try the OPSYS command: this command selects the UTRAN and the packet and/or circuit switched domain. Extract from datasheet: Preferred SYStem “AT_OPSYS” Command Possible Response(s) _OPSYS=[<mode>[,<domain>]] OK _OPSYS? _OPSYS: <mode>,<domain> _OPSYS=? _OPSYS: (0-5),(0-6) Description This command changes the preferred system, GSM/WCDMA, the acquisition order and the service domain preference PS/CS.

Please note that a hard reset of the card is required before the setting will take effect. Extract from datasheet: SECurity “AT_OSEC” Command Possible Response(s) _OSEC=[<sec>] OK _OSEC? _OSEC: <sec> _OSEC=? _OSEC: (list of supported <sec>s) Description This command sets the RRC security setting. Please note that a hard reset of the card is required before the setting will take effect. Defined values <sec>: 0 None 1 Integrity

For cradles with a usb connection this is normally not needed. It is important to use the port settings as described in the hyperterminal section otherwise it will not be possible to make a connection with the card. Use “at_opos?” to see the current value. a. From cradle mode to laptop mode You can communicate with the cradle through COM1 (or whatever the name is of the port you attached the cradle to) At_opos=x,x,1,x Î when in cradle: at_opos=2,10 b. From laptop to cradle mode You can communicate with the cradle through the application port or modem port. You can see their port numbers when you doubleclick the safe removal button. At_opos=x,x,10,x Î to change the card to laptop mode, you can change the opos parameters by using at_opos=2,1. Now you CAN’T CONNECT through modem-port. For fujiGT there are some different settings: a. From cradle mode to laptop mode At_opos=1,4 b. From laptop mode to cradle mode At_opos=1,1
