1 Introduction to the Integrator’s Manual
1.1 Overview
This manual is for use as a guide to the setup, installation, and use of the GM-41 module into your application. The
module may be tested using the Developer's board, which is supplied together with all the necessary tools in the
Developer’s Kit.
The GM-41 module is intended for mounting into an application developer’s chassis to provide wireless
communication capability for the product. The target chassis could be in a wide variety of forms such as a
residential electric meter, a point of sale terminal, an alarm panel, or an automobile console. All initial
configuration, mode control, and operational commands are issued to the module over an RS-232 serial port using
a flexible AT command format (see AT-command manual). The module circuitry has been designed to meet the
environmental requirements of a large range of commercial and industrial users.
