6 OPERATION

 

 
Every time you use the M2M 3350 you should make sure that all other internet connections are 

disabled.  You will most likely need to connect to the modem before each use if you often 

disconnect it from the PC.  The typical bandwidth is 30-40kbps, similar to a dial-up 56kbps 

modem. 

 

6.1 LED 

Operation 

 
The following defines the states of the LEDs on the front of the unit. 
 
 

LED Flashing/Off  Steady 

PWR 

No Power (off) 

Power On 

GSM 

Registered to Network 

Not Registered to Network

COM 

In USB Mode (off) 

In Serial Mode 

 

Note: A flashing GSM LED does not necessarily mean the unit is connected to GPRS but only 

means the unit has registered with the GSM network.

 

 

6.2

 

SIM Card Tray 

 

The SIM card must be placed in the SIM card tray.  To eject the tray, press the yellow button with 

a pen.  The tray should insert easily into the holder.  If it must be forced, it is not in right and you 

should retry. 

 
6.3 USB/COM 

Switch 

 

To use the modem in USB mode, the selector switch must be set to ‘USB’.  The COM LED will be 

turned off when in USB mode.  To use the modem in serial mode or with the Bluetooth dongle the 

selector switch must be set to ‘COM’.  The COM LED will be steady on yellow.  In either case, 

the USB cable must be connected to either a USB port or another power source as this is the main 

power input.  

 
6.3

 

Power 

 
The USB port provides power to the modem.  This must be connected to a USB port or the car 

adapter.  The input is 5V DC and the current rating must be >500mA.
