Product Photo/Illustration

1. Introduction
1.1 Target Users
GM29 modems are designed to be integrated into machine-machine or
man-to-machine communications applications. They are intended to be
used by manufacturers, system integrators, applications developers and
developers of wireless communications equipment.

1.2 Prerequisites
It is assumed that the person integrating the GM29 into an application
has a basic understanding of the following:
• GSM networking;
• Wireless communication and antennas (aerials);
• AT commands;
• ITU-T standard V.24/V.28;
• Micro controllers and programming;
• Electronic hardware design.

1.3 Manual Structure
The manual is composed of four parts:
Part 1- Overview

This section provides a broad overview of the GM29 and includes a list
of abbreviations used in the manual.
Part 2 - Integrating the Modem

This section describes each of the signals available on the GM29
modem, along with mechanical information. The section also provides
you with design guidelines and explains what is needed to
commercialise an application from a regulatory point of view.
Part 3 - Using AT Commands

This section lists all the AT commands relevant to the GM29, including
their associated parameters. The purpose of part 4 is to give you detailed
information about the function of each command in the AT command
set.

2. GM29 Modem
2.1 Description
The dual band EGSM 900/1800MHz GM29 is a GSM/GPRS serial
modem. The modem is a powerful and flexible device that can be used
in a wide range of telemetry and telematics applications that rely on the
remote exchange of data, voice, SMS or faxes via the GSM cellular
network.
Small and lightweight, the GM29 has standard connectors and an
integral SIM card reader making it easy and quick to integrate. As well
as providing a standard RS232 serial communication interface the
GM29 also has an audio interface allowing an analogue handset to be
connected. When the GM29 is integrated into an external application, a
wireless communications system is created.
A typical end-to-end system consists of a micro controller in an external
application communicating, via the GM29 modem, with a remote
terminal or host using the GSM network. The micro controller uses a set
of AT commands to control the modem, and to set up the end-to-end
communications link, via its 9-way RS232 serial interface.
GM29 serial modems are intended to be used by manufacturers, system
integrators, application developers and developers of a wide range of
equipment and business solutions, typically in the following fields:
• Security and alarms
• Vending
• Monitoring and control
• Utilities
• Fleet Management

2. Electrical Description
All electrical connections to the GM29 are protected in compliance with
the standard air (4kV) and contact (8kV) discharge ESD tests, of
EN 301 489-1.
The modem uses the following industry standard connectors:
• RJ11 6-way (power connector)
• RJ9 4-way (handset connector)
• SIM card reader
• FME male coaxial jack (antenna connector)
• Sub-D socket, 9 pin (RS232 serial port)

2.1 Power Connector
An RJ11 6-way connector, as shown and described below, serves as a
means of supplying and controlling d.c. power to the modem.
The supply voltage, VCC, required by the modem is in the range 5V 32V d.c. Application of the supply voltage does not switch the modem
on. To do so an additional active-high control signal, TO_IN, must be
applied for > 0.2s.
A second active-high control signal, HR_IN, can be used to switch the
modem off when applied for 1 - 2 seconds, or can be used to perform a
hardware reset when applied for > 3.5s.
TO_IN and HR_IN are referenced to GND (pin 6 on the connector).
VCC and GND are reverse polarity and overvoltage protected.

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

2.5.1 Serial Data

The modem supports the standard data character format of 1 start bit,
8 bit data, no parity plus 1 stop bit, in total 10 bits per character.
2.5.2 Serial Data Signals - RD, TD

The default baud rate is 9.6kbps, however higher bit rates up to 460kbps
are supported. At start-up the GM29 transmits and receives data at the
default rate of 9.6kbps in either standard AT mode or binary mode (the
first received data - AT or binary format - determines the operating
mode). When reprogramming, the transmission rate is automatically
negotiated by the programming application. Speeds up to 460kbps are
supported.
Serial Data From Modem (RD)

RD is an output signal that the modem uses to send data to the
application.
Serial Data To Modem (TD)

TD is an input signal, used by the application to send data to the modem.
2.5.3 Control Signals - RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, RI

RTS and CTS are capable of transmitting at 1/10th of the data
transmission speed for data rates up to 460kbps (byte-oriented flow
control mechanism).
Request to Send (RTS)

Used to condition the DCE for data transmission. The default level is
high by internal pull up.
The exact behaviour of RTS is defined by an AT command. Software
or hardware control can be selected. Hardware flow is the default
control.
The application must pull RTS low to communicate with the modem.
The modem will respond by asserting CTS low, indicating it is ready for
communication.
Clear To Send (CTS)

CTS indicates that the DCE is ready to transmit data. The default level
is high. You can define the exact behaviour of CTS through an AT
command, and can select software or hardware flow control.

34
LZT 123 7361 R1A

2. ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION

Data Terminal Ready (DTR)

DTR indicates that the DTE is ready to transmit and receive data. It also
acts as a hardware ‘hang-up’, terminating calls when switched high.
The signal is active low. You can define the exact behaviour of DTR
with an AT command.
The DTR line can also be used to switch on the modem when activated
for 0.2 seconds. The DTR line must be deactivated prior to switching
off the modem to ensure it switches off (powers down) correctly.
Data Set Ready (DSR)

An active DSR signal is sent from the modem to the application (DTE)
to confirm that a communications path has been established. DSR has
two modes of operation, settable using the AT command AT&S.
Data Carrier Detect (DCD)

DCD indicates that the DCE is receiving a valid carrier (data signal)
when low. You can define the exact behaviour of DCD with an AT
command.
Ring Indicator (RI)

RI indicates that a ringing signal is being received by the DCE when
low. You can define the exact behaviour or RI with an AT command.

2.6 Real Time Clock
The GM29 contains a real time clock (RTC) to maintain accurate
timekeeping and to enable “timestamping” of messages.
The RTC is powered when d.c. power is connected to the modem AND
the modem is switched on. If the d.c. supply fails, a stored energy device
within the GM29 provides back-up power to maintain the RTC for at
least 12 hours.

2.7 Software Updates
It is possible and sometimes necessary to update the GM29 software.
Updates must be carried out by a Sony Ericsson approved technician.
Please contact your supplier for details (see “Service and Support”,
page 9).

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

3. Operation
3.1 Switching On the Modem
There are two ways to switch on the modem, once power is applied.
• either assert TO_IN high for > 0.2s;
• or activate the RS232 control line DTR, high for > 0.2s.
The modem is fully operational after 4 seconds. Logging onto a network
may take longer than this and is outside the control of the modem.
The modem can be configured to start up at the time power is applied
by permanently tying power connector signals TO_IN (pin 4) and VCC
(pin 1) together. In this case DTR must be used to switch the modem on
again after it has been switched off or reset, while power is still applied.

3.2 Switching Off the Modem
There are two ways to switch off (power down) the modem as described
below:
• either use the AT+CFUN command;
• or assert HR_IN high for 1 - 2 seconds. A delay of up to 10s is
experienced as the modem logs off the network.
Note!

The DTR line must be deactivated prior to switching off the modem to
ensure the unit switches off correctly.

3.3 Resetting the Modem
A full system reset, independent of the status of the software, may be
applied to the modem as follows:
• assert HR_IN high for > 3.5s.

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

4. Hints for Integrating the Modem
This chapter gives you advice and helpful hints on how to integrate the
GM29 into your application from a hardware perspective.
Please read and consider the information under the following headings
before starting your integration work:
• Safety advice and precautions.
• Installation of the modem.
• Antenna.

4.1 Safety Advice and Precautions
4.1.1 General

• Always ensure that use of the modem is permitted. The modem may
present a hazard if used in proximity to personal medical electronic
devices. As a rule, the modem must not be used in hospitals, airports
or planes.
• Avoid exposing the modem to lighted cigarettes, naked flames or to
extreme hot or cold temperature.
• You are responsible for observing your country’s safety standards,
and where applicable the relevant wiring rules.
• Never use the modem at a gas station, refuelling point, blasting area
or in any other environment where explosives may be present.
• Operating the modem close to other electronic devices, such as
antennas, television sets, and radios may cause electromagnetic
interference.
• Never try to dismantle the modem yourself. There are no
components inside the modem that can be serviced by the user. If
you attempt to dismantle the modem, you may invalidate the
warranty.
• To protect power supply cables and meet the fire safety requirements
when the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply,
connect a fast 1.25A fuse in line with the positive supply.
• Do not connect any incompatible component or product to the
GM29. Note, Sony Ericsson does not warrant against defects, nonconformities or deviations caused thereby.
4.1.2 SIM Card

• Before handling the SIM card in your application, ensure that you
are not charged with static electricity. Use proper precautions to
avoid electrostatic discharges.
38
LZT 123 7361 R1A

4. HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE MODEM

• When the SIM card hatch is opened, the SIM card connectors lie
exposed under the SIM card holder. CAUTION: Do not touch these
connectors! If you do, you may release an electrical discharge that
could damage the modem or the SIM card.
• When designing your application, the SIM card’s accessibility
should be taken into account. We always recommend that you have
the SIM card protected by a PIN code. This will ensure that the SIM
card cannot be used by an unauthorized person.
4.1.3 Antenna

• If the antenna is to be mounted outside, consider the risk of
lightning. Follow the instructions provided by the antenna
manufacturer.
• Never connect more than one modem to a single antenna. The
modem can be damaged by radio frequency energy from the
transmitter of another modem.
• Like any mobile station, the antenna of the modem emits radio
frequency energy. To avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference), you
must determine whether the application itself, or equipment in the
application’s proximity, needs further protection against radio
emission and the disturbances it might cause. Protection is secured
either by shielding the surrounding electronics or by moving the
antenna away from the electronics and the external signals cable.
• The modem and antenna may be damaged if either come into contact
with ground potentials other than the one in your application.
Beware, ground potential are not always what they appear to be.
• In the final application, the antenna must be positioned more than
20cm away from human bodies. When this rule cannot be applied,
the application designer is responsible for providing the SAR
measurement test report and declaration.

4.2 Installation of the Modem
4.2.1 Where to Install the Modem

There are several conditions which need to be taken into consideration
when designing your application as they might affect the modem and its
function. They are:
Environmental Conditions

The modem must be installed so that the environmental conditions
stated in the Technical Data chapter, such as temperature, humidity and
vibration are satisfied. Additionally, the electrical specifications in the
Technical Data section must not be exceeded.
39
LZT 123 7361 R1A

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

Signal Strength

The modem has to be placed in a way that ensures sufficient signal
strength. To improve signal strength, the antenna can be moved to
another position. Signal strength may depend on how close the modem
is to a radio base station. You must ensure that the location at which you
intend to use the modem, is within the network coverage area.
Degradation in signal strength can be the result of a disturbance from
another source, for example an electronic device in the immediate
vicinity. More information about possible communication disturbances
can be found in section 4.3.5, page 42.
When an application is completed, you can verify signal strength by
issuing the AT command AT+CSQ. See “AT+CSQ Signal Strength”,
page 89.
Tip!

Before installing the modem, use an ordinary mobile telephone to check
a possible location for it. In determining the location for the modem and
antenna, you should consider signal strength as well as cable length

Connection of Components to GM29

The integrator is responsible for the final integrated system. Incorrectly
designed or installed, external components may cause radiation limits to
be exceeded. For instance, improperly made connections or improperly
installed antennas can disturb the network and lead to malfunctions in
the modem or equipment.
Network and Subscription

• Before your application is used, you must ensure that your chosen
network provides the necessary telecommunication services.
Contact your service provider to obtain the necessary information.
• If you intend to use SMS in the application, ensure this is included in
your (voice) subscription.
• Consider the choice of the supplementary services described in
section “2.4.2 Short Message Service”, page 17.
4.2.2 How to Install the Modem
Power Supply

• Use a high-quality power supply cable with low resistance. This
ensures that the voltages at the connector pins are within the allowed
range, even during the maximum peak current.
• When the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply,
connect a fast 1.25A fuse in line with the positive supply. This
protects the power cabling and modem.

4. HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE MODEM

Securing the modem

• Before securing the modem take into account the amount of
additional space required for the mating connectors and cables that
will be used in the application.
• Where access is restricted, it may be easier to connect all the cables
to the modem prior to securing it in the application.
• Securely attach the GM29 modem to the host application using two
3mm diameter pan-head screws of appropriate length as shown
below.
Caution!

Do not exceed a torque of 25Ncm when tightening the fixings screws.
Excessive torque applied to the screws can crack the plastic case.

4.3 Antenna
4.3.1 General

The antenna is the component in your system that maintains the radio
link between the network and the modem. Since the antenna transmits
and receives electromagnetic energy, its efficient function will depend
on:
• the type of antenna (for example, circular or directional);
• the placement of the antenna;
• communication disturbances in the vicinity in which the antenna
operates.
In the sections below, issues concerning antenna type, antenna
placement, antenna cable, and possible communication disturbances are
addressed.
In any event, you should contact your local antenna manufacturer for
additional information concerning antenna type, cables, connectors,
antenna placement, and the surrounding area. You should also

41
LZT 123 7361 R1A

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

determine whether the antenna needs to be grounded or not. Your local
antenna manufacturer might be able to design a special antenna suitable
for your the application.
4.3.2 Antenna Type

Make sure that you choose the right type of antenna for the modem.
Consider the following requirements:
• the antenna must be designed for the dual frequency bands in use:
EGSM/GSM900/1800;
• the impedance of the antenna and antenna cable must be 50Ω;
• the antenna output-power handling must be a minimum of 2W;
• the VSWR value should be less than 3:1 to avoid damage to the
modem.
4.3.3 Antenna Placement

The antenna should be placed away from electronic devices or other
antennas. The recommended minimum distance between adjacent
antennas, operating in a similar radio frequency band, is at least 50cm.
If signal strength is weak, it is useful to face a directional antenna at the
closest radio base station. This can increase the strength of the signal
received by the modem.
The modem’s peak output power can reach 2W. RF field strength varies
with antenna type and distance. At 10cm from the antenna the field
strength may be up to 70V/m and at 1m it will have reduced to 7V/m.
In general, CE-marked products for residential and commercial areas,
and light industry can withstand a minimum of 3V/m.
4.3.4 The Antenna Cable

Use 50Ω impedance low-loss cable and high-quality 50Ω impedance
connectors (frequency range up to 2GHz) to avoid RF losses. Ensure
that the antenna cable is as short as possible.
The Voltage Standing-Wave Ratio (VSWR) may depend on the
effectiveness of the antenna, cable and connectors. In addition, if you
use an adapter between the antenna cable and the antenna connector, it
is crucial that the antenna cable is a high-quality, low-loss cable.
Minimize the use of extension cables, connectors and adapters. Each
additional cable, connector or adapter causes a loss of signal power.
4.3.5 Possible Communication Disturbances

Possible communication disturbances include the following:
42
LZT 123 7361 R1A

4. HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE MODEM

• Noise can be caused by electronic devices and radio transmitters.
• Path-loss occurs as the strength of the received signal steadily
decreases in proportion to the distance from the transmitter.
• Shadowing is a form of environmental attenuation of radio signals
caused by hills, buildings, trees or even vehicles. This can be a
particular problem inside buildings, especially if the walls are thick
and reinforced.
• Multi-path fading is a sudden decrease or increase in the signal
strength. This is the result of interference caused when direct and
reflected signals reach the antenna simultaneously. Surfaces such as
buildings, streets, vehicles, etc., can reflect signals.
• Hand-over occurs as you move from one cell to another in the GSM
network. Your mobile application call is transferred from one cell to
the next. Hand-over can briefly interfere with communication and
may cause a delay, or at worst, a disruption.

Part 3: Using AT Commands

Product Photo/Illustration

1. Introduction to AT Commands
1.1 Overview
AT commands, issued from a computer in your application are used to
control and implement the functions of the modem.
Using AT commands, the following actions are possible:
• Control of DCE
• GPRS
• Call control
• Supplementary Service
• SIM application tool kit
The GM29 contains a large number of Ericsson-specific commands in
addition to those implemented in accordance with the GSM and ITU-T
recommendations. These commands are provided to enhance the
functions of the modem. The Ericsson-specific commands are identified
by the asterisk that precedes the command (see the syntax description
provided below).

1.2 Syntax Description
This section provides a brief description of the syntax used for the
GM29, AT command set. See the ITU-T recommendation V.25ter for
additional information.
1.2.1 Conventions

In this manual, the following conventions are used to explain the AT
commands.


The name of the command that is to be entered.



The parameter values that are defined for a certain
command.



The command line is terminated by the Carriage
Return (or Enter key) or ATS3 command.



Line feed character or ATS4 command.

<>

The term enclosed in angle brackets is a syntactical
element. The brackets do not appear in the command
line.

53
LZT 123 7361 R1A

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

[]

Square brackets are used to indicate that a certain item
is optional. For example, sub-parameters of a
command or an optional part of a response. The
brackets do not appear in the command line.

Value

The default values of the supported parameters are
indicated by using bold text when presenting the
value.
• Other characters, including ‘?’, ‘=’, parenthesis, etc., appear in
commands and responses as written.
• The final result codes OK, ERROR, +CME ERROR:  and
CMS ERROR: (see sections 1.2.3, AT Response Syntax and
1.3, Error Codes) are not listed under “Possible Responses” for each
AT command.
• OK and ERROR are listed if these are the only possible responses.
1.2.2 AT Command Syntax

The AT standard is a line-oriented command language. Each command
is made up of the following three elements:
• the prefix;
• the body;
• the termination character.
The prefix consists of the letters “AT”, which are derived from the first
two letters of the word attention. The body is made up of the command,
the parameter, and if applicable the associated values.
Commands may be combined in the same command line. Spaces
between the individual bodies are ignored.
Basic Syntax Command

The format of basic syntax commands is as follows:
AT[=][]
Example! ATL=0 (sets the volume of the speaker)

Additional commands may follow a command on the same command
line without any character being required for separation. For the
command D parameters, see the description for the command in
question.
A version of the basic syntax is:
AT
Extended Syntax Command

• AT+= []
54
LZT 123 7361 R1A

1. INTRODUCTION TO AT COMMANDS

• AT*=[]
Example! AT+CFUN=0 (powers down the modem)

If several values are included in the command, they are separated by
commas. It is also possible to enter commands with no values.
Additional commands may follow an extended syntax command on the
same command line if a semicolon (; IRA 3B) is inserted after the
preceeding extended command as a separator.
Read Command Syntax

The read command is used to check the current values of
parameters. Type ‘?’, after the command line:
• AT+?
• AT*?
• AT?
Example! AT+CSCS? (show current character set)

“IRA”(information text response)
OK(final result code response)
Test Command Syntax

The test command is used to test whether the command has been
implemented or to give information about the type of subparameters it
contains. Type ‘?’, after the command line:
• AT+=?
• AT*=?
Example! AT+CPAS=? (shows supported values for the response

parameters)
CPAS: (0, 3, 4, 129, 130, 131) (supported values)
OK (final result code)
If the indicated  is not recognized, the result code ERROR
is issued.
Note!

Possible responses are indicated both as :(list of
supported) and (in most cases) the actual range of the
parameter values.

1.2.3 AT Response Syntax

The default mode response shown below, is in text mode. See the
command V for further details.
55
LZT 123 7361 R1A

GM29 INTEGRATOR’S MANUAL

Possible formats for the result codes are:
• Basic format result code, such as OK. The Basic result code also has
a numerical equivalent.
• Extended format result code, prefixed with a plus sign (+) or an
asterisk (*):
– AT+: 
– AT*: 
where the  is the result code value, note that a single
space character separates the colon character from the .
If several values are included in the result code, they are separated by
commas. It is also possible that a result code has no value. The
extended syntax result codes have no numerical equivalent. They are
always issued in alphabetical form.
• Information text response may contain multiple lines separated by
. The TE detects the end of informational text responses by
looking for a final result code response, such as OK.
There are two types of result code responses as outlined below:
Final Result Code

A final result code indicates to the TE that execution of the command
is completed and another command may be issued.
• If you type an implemented AT command, you should get the result
code OK.
• If you type an AT command that is not implemented, or which had
the wrong parameter or syntax, you will get an error result code. It is
ERROR or, for example, + ERROR followed by an
error code.
Final result codes are:
Value
General meaning
OK

Command executed, no errors

ERROR

Invalid command or command line too long

NO DIALTONE

No dialling possible, wrong mode

BUSY

Remote station busy

NO ANSWER

Connection completion time-out

NO CARRIER

Link not established or disconnected

Unsolicited Result Code

Unsolicited result codes indicate the occurrence of an event not directly
associated with a command being issued from the TE.

1. INTRODUCTION TO AT COMMANDS

1.3 Error Codes
1.3.1 +CME ERROR (Mobile Equipment Error Code)

This final result code is similar to the regular ERROR result code. If
+CME ERROR:  is the result code for any of the commands in a
command line, none of the commands in the same command line will
be executed (neither ERROR nor OK result code shall be returned as a
result of a completed command line execution). The format of  can
be either numerical or alphabetical, and is set with the +CMEE
command.

Selects the call mode of further dialing commands (D) or for next
answering command (A). Mode can be either single or alternating. In
this ETS, terms “alternating mode” and “alternating call” refer to all
GSM bearer and teleservices that incorporate more than one basic
service (voice, data, fax) within one call.
When single mode is selected the call originating and hang-up
procedures are similar to procedures specified in ITU-T
Recommendations V.25ter, T.31 and T.32. In GSM there can be voice
followed by data (refer to GSM 02.02), alternating voice/data (refer to
GSM 02.02) and alternating voice/fax calls (refer to GSM 02.03).
Test command returns values supported by the TA as a compound
value.
Note!

+CMOD is set to zero after a successfully completed alternating mode
call. It is set to zero also after a failed answering. The power-up, factory
(&F) and user resets (Z), also set the value to zero. This reduces the
possibility that alternating mode calls are originated or answered
accidentally.


Description

0

Single mode. Default value.
In order to avoid accidental originating or answering of
alternating calls is  set to single mode in following
cases:
- after a successfully completed alternating mode call;
- after a unsuccessful answering;
- after successfully execution of the commands &F and Z

This S-parameter represents the decimal IA5 value of the character
recognised by the DCE from the DTE to terminate an incoming
command line. It is also generated by the DCE as part of the header,
trailer, and terminator for result codes and information text, along with
the S4 parameter.
The previous value of S3 is used to determine the command line
termination character for entry of the command line containing the S3
setting command. However, the result code issued uses the value of S3
as set during the processing of the command line. For example, if S3
was previously set to 13 and the command line “ATS3=30” is issued,
