Basic Functions
2N
®
SmartCOM is designed for bidirectional data
transmission between serial ports and their
opponents based on GPRS data transmission
via the GSM network.
Installation Conditions
Install the GSM antenna with respect to the
signal quality in the location.
Keep 2N
®
SmartCOM off sensitive devices and
human bodies to avoid EM interference.
External Antenna Connection
Screw the enclosed antenna into the SMA
antenna
connector.
Tighten
the
antenna
connector gently with your hand, never use a tool!
SIM Card Installation
Insert the SIM card in the hole in the upper part of
2N
®
SmartCOM making sure that the bevelled
edge of the SIM card faces the green connector
(see the figure on the front side of the product).
Remember to set the relevant
provider’s services
(PIN request, e.g.) on your mobile phone before
inserting the SIM card in 2N
®
SmartCOM
.
Make
sure that the provider’s SIM card is intended for the
GSM network supported by your 2N
®
SmartCOM
version and that the GPRS data transmission is
activated with an IP address enabling incoming
connection (unless you use the 2N
®
SmartCOM
server).

supply until you have connected the antenna to
avoid the GSM module damage!

module, inputs, outputs, serial interfaces and
configuration
module
will
get
initialised.
