LOW COST GSM MODEM
2 Interface description
The TMAS GSM Terminal provides the following connectors for power supply, interfacing and antenna:
• 2.1mm DC power connector (centre/inner pin is positive)
• 9-pin (female) D-SUB plug for RS-232 serial interface
• SMA connector for antenna (radio interface)
• SIM card holder
2.1 Power Supply
The power supply of the TMAS GSM Terminal has to be a single voltage source of Vin=6V providing a peak
current of up to 500mA during transmission.
The terminal can be turned on by just plug in a 6VDC power supply. The terminal power supply circuit
automatically generates a low pulse signal not less than 100ms in order to wake up the Siemens TC35i GSM
engine.
In order for the terminal to shut down properly, wait for 10s after sending AT^SMSO before switching off the
power supply. This time is needed for the module to be safely logged off from the network and finish saving
data to the internal memory.
Each time the terminal is shut down, data will be written from the volatile memory to flash memory. The
guaranteed maximum number of write cycles is limited to 100,000.
2.2 RS232 Interface
Via RS-232 interface, the host controller controls the TMAS GSM/GPRS Terminal and transports data. The
table below shows the pin assignment of RS-232 (D-SUB 9-pin female).
