Cisco Connected Grid 3G Module Installation and Configuration Guide
OL-25991-01
Configuring the Module
Prerequisites
To configure the 3G module, you must meet the following requirements:
• Have 2G/3G network coverage where your router will be physically located. For a complete list of
supported carriers, see the product data sheet.
• Subscribe to a service plan with a wireless service provider and obtain a SIM card.
• Install the SIM card before configuring the 3G module. For instructions on how to install the SIM
card, see the section, Installing the SIM Card (GSM Module), page 17.
Configuration Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to configuring the Cisco Connected Grid 3G Module:
• Data connection can be originated only by the module.
• Throughput: Due to the shared nature of wireless communications, the experienced throughput
varies depending on the number of active users or congestion in a given network.
• Cellular networks have higher latency compared to wired networks. Latency rates depend on the
technology and carrier. Latency may be higher because of network congestion.
• Any restrictions that are a part of the terms of service from your carrier.
Configuring the GSM Module
Step 1: Creating a GSM Profile
Use the cellular 3/1 gsm profile command to configure a GSM profile:
Router# cellular 3/1 gsm profile create 1 <Access Point Name> [<authentication type
<username> <password>]
• Use <authentication type> if username and password is configured.
• Use <username> if required by your carrier.
• Use <password> if required by your carrier.
See also GSM Cellular Interface Configuration, page 31.
Step 2: Configuring a Chat Script
Use the chat-script command to configure a GSM chat script:
Router(config)# chat-script <chat-script name> PROFILE1
