Installation
1. Connect an RS232 serial cable between the ETM8xxx-xxx terminal and the external device
or PC (a Serial/USB Adapter may be used if your computer does not have a serial port,
also ETM stocks an RJ45/DB9F adaptor cable with flying lead for power)
2. Fit a suitable antenna to the ETM8xxx-xxx unit.
3. Install a SIM card enabled for the services you intend to use. If the terminal is intended to
be used for remote access to a device a terminating data number for Circuit Switch Data
(CSD) will need to be provisioned by the network operator, this number will usually differ
from any voice/SMS number. Note that for Telstra you will need to request;
