11. Initial Commissioning of the GSM Module (Test Configuration)

At initial commissioning, observe that the removed PCB is not short-circuited by metal or live parts. When connecting the operating
voltage, always ensure correct polarity. Avoid short circuits at the GSM module connections. If this is not observed, the GSM module
will be destroyed. In such cases, any warranty/guarantee will expire!
We recommend the easiest possible configuration for initial commissioning. For this reason, you should initially only enter the PIN and
a device designation. All other input options for your device configuration should only be performed after successful verification of the
basic configuration at a later time.
First commissioning requires an operating voltage, aerial, USB cable and a SIM card.
Observe the following notes in the order as indicated:
• Open the GSM module’s casing.
• Remove the three screws in the GSM module that attach the PCB.
• Carefully lift the PCB from the casing.
• Connect the connection cable of the supply voltage to the intended clamps
on the PCB in the correct polarity (see chapter 9, figure 1, item 1).
Important!
Do not switch on the supply voltage yet!
The SIM card must not be installed yet!
• Install the USB drivers and application software first with the CD.
• Connect the USB cable from the delivery to the GSM module and to a free
port of your running computer.
The computer recognises a new (virtual) COM port.
• Check which COM port was set up in your operating system’s device
manager.

If the COM port number specified for the GSM module is bigger
than 9 (.e.g. „COM10“, „COM11“.....), the COM port must be moved.
For this, open the device manager in your computer’s system
settings in „Properties / Connection Settings / More... / COM-Port
Number“ and determine a free COM port below COM10 for the
control software.
