1 Mechanical Description 1.1 Overview The pictures below show the mechanical design of the CT63-E Terminal along with the positions of the different connectors and mounting holes. The CT63-E Terminal case is made of durable PC/ABS plastic.
Please note the following: Mounting holes positioned at two of the corners make it possible to securely bolt the modem into your application. Keypad, display, microphone, speaker and battery are not part of the modem. The SIM card is mounted in the modem, accessible by the user under a lid without any tools. The pins and electrical characteristics or the modem’s various connectors are described in “2. Electrical Description” Information about the antenna connector is found in “2.
2 Electrical Description The modem uses the following standard connectors: RJ11 6-way (power connector) Mini USB SIM card reader FME male coaxial jack (antenna connector) Sub-D female 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 DC power to the modem. It is necessary to connect an external power supply, since the available power on the USB port is not sufficient to run the modem.

It is the flip-up type which is lockable in the horizontal position and is accessed through a removable panel. 2.
2.5 Serial Data The modem supports the standard data character format of Programmable baud rate (300bps to 230,400bps). Auto-configuration mode with auto-baud (1,200bps to 230,400bps). Multiplex ability according to GSM 07.10 Multiplexer Protocol. 2.6 Serial Data Signals 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.

3 Operation 3.1 Switch ON the modem There are two ways to switch on the modem, once power is applied: assert TO_IN to high level for > 1s activate the RS232 control line DTR 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.
3.2 Switch OFF the modem The only way to turn off the modem is to remove power 3.3 Using low power mode of the modem Below are some short descriptions on how to enter and exit the low power state of the modem. 3.3.1 Enabling the low power mode: wait until the GSM module is logged onto the GSM network send the AT command "AT+CFUN=9" set the RTS control line from High level to Low level after about 1-2 minutes, a stable low-power mode should be achieved 3.3.

4 Power consumption The following table shows you the power consumption of the CT63-E / in different modes (averaged over a 1 min interval): [mA] @ 12V CT63-E idle mode < 20 CT63-E low power mode ~2 Table 7: Power consumption in idle and low power mode Safety and Product Care Please read the information in this section and the information in “Installation of the Modem”, before starting your integration work! 4.1 Safety instructions PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP A COPY OF THEM.
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. The CT63-E Terminal must not be installed or located where the surface temperature of the plastic case may exceed 85°C.
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.
5 Quick Start / Installation of the modem This chapter gives you advice and helpful hints on how to integrate the CT63-E Terminal into your application from a hardware perspective. Please read the information given in “Safety and Product Care”, page 10 and then read the information in this section before starting your integration work. 5.
5.1.4 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 5.2 How to install the modem 5.2.1 Power supply Use a high-quality power supply cable with low resistance.
the antenna needs to be grounded or not. Your local antenna manufacturer might be able to design a special antenna suitable for the application. 5.3.2 Antenna type Make sure that you choose the right type of antenna for the modem.
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.
