GETTING STARTED Getting Started Getting Started Overview To use the MTD, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Insert the SIM Card. Refer to Installing a SIM Card. Power up the device. Refer to Turning the Device On or Off. Install device drivers. Use the Connection Manager or follow instructions in the USB Driver Installation Guide for your model. Activate the device on your carrier network. Use the Connection Manager or refer to Account Activation for Cellular Devices. Make a data connection.
GETTING STARTED 3. Verify that the SIM card fits into the holder properly and replace the cover. Removing a SIM Card To remove a SIM card: Warning: If the device is connected to a computer or power supply, disconnect it. Inserting or removing a SIM card with the device powered may harm the SIM card and the device. 1. 2. 3. Remove the SIM cover from the back of the device. If you have trouble sliding the SIM cover, use a flatblade screwdriver in the slot on the SIM cover to slide it out.
GETTING STARTED 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Suspend ModemQuery. Wait for Steps 1-2 to complete. Verify that the modem has disconnected. Issue AT#SHDN and wait for OK. Wait 30 seconds after the OK before unplugging or removing power. Disconnect the device from the USB port. Device Phone Number Every device has a unique phone number. Your service provider supplies a phone number when you activate your account, or if your device has a SIM card, the phone number may be on it.
GETTING STARTED Troubleshooting If the connection drops and teh Main page shows a Keep-alive Feature, clear out the error by removing the numeric file names under this directory. C:\Users\tdg\AppData\Roaming\Multi-Tech Connection Manager Note: Replace "tdg" with your Windows username. Account Activation for Cellular Devices Some Multi-Tech devices are pre-configured to operate on a specific cellular network. To use the device, you must set up a cellular data account with your service provider.
USING LINUX Using Linux Shell Commands Testing Serial Ports To test the serial ports created by the driver, type in a shell: # cat /dev/ttyACM0 & # echo –en "ATE0\r" > /dev/ttyACM03 # echo –en "AT\r" > /dev/ttyACM0 Note: Sending ATE0 is required, to avoid issues in the terminal output. It prevents the sending/receiving spurious characters to/from the modem when used with the Linux commands “echo” and “cat” You can perform the same test using the other interface (ttyACM1 ttyACM3).

BASIC OPERATIONS Basic Operations Interacting with Your Device Overview This section describes how to use AT commands to interact with your device. Using terminal software such as Kermit, you can issue AT commands to communicate with and configure your modem. The AT commands let you establish, read and modify device parameters and help you control how the device operates.
BASIC OPERATIONS Using the Radio IP Stack to Make a Data Connection Connect by issuing the command: AT#SGACT=1,1 (using PDP context #1). Using the Host System IP Stack to Make a Data Connection This device only supports packet data connections, such as dial-up networking. To make a data connection, you must use a PPP dialer. If your carrier requires a username and password for the Internet connection, be sure to enter that information into the PPP dialer. Dial up using ATD*99***1# (using PDP context #1).
BASIC OPERATIONS +CSQ: , Where: Received signal strength indication. 0 (-113) dBm or less 1 (-111) dBm 2-30 (-109) dBm - (-53) dBm / 2 dBm per step 31 (-51) dBm or greater 99 Not known or not detectable Bit error rate, in percent 0 Less than 0.2% 1 0.2% to 0.4% 2 0.4% to 0.8% 3 0.8% to 1.6% 4 1.6% to 3.2% 5 3.2% to 6.4% 6 6.4% to 12.8% 7 More than 12.
BASIC OPERATIONS The device is registered. If the device returns: +CREG: 0,2 The device is in a network searching state. Verify that Device Detects a Valid SIM Card If your device uses a SIM card, use the query SIM status command to verify if the device detects the SIM card. To do this, enter: AT#QSS? If the device detects that SIM card, it responds with one of the following: Response Description #QSS: 2, 1 SIM inserted #QSS: 2, 2 SIM inserted and PIN unlocked. #QSS: 2, 3 SIM inserted and ready.
BASIC OPERATIONS Enter: AT+CMGR=1 Example response: +CMGR: "REC UNREAD","+16155554562z`z","","13/09/05,13:39:40-20" How are you? OK Sending Text Messages To send a text message in text mode: 1. 2. 3. Put the device in text mode. Enter: AT+CMGF=1 The device responds. OK Enter the recipient's number and your message. Enter: AT+CMGS="##########" >Your message here where ########## is the recipient's number. Send the message. Enter CTRL+Z.
BASIC OPERATIONS 3 Deletes all read messages and sent and unsent device-orginated messages. Leaves unread messages. 4 Deletes all messages.
