5. Running the module
Running the MT-703 module requires several simple initial actions. At first, it is
recommended to connect the module to the PC computer via USB cable, which enables
either the transmission of the configuration data or the powering the module without
using its battery. Then the further actions should be proceeded in the recommended
order:
1. Connecting a GSM antenna
. During each switching on, the antenna must be
connected, because it is a load of the transmitter. Even without a SIM card, the
GSM module exchanges information with the available networks to check the
possibility of alarm connections (112).
2. Configuring the basic operational parameters of the module.
3. Mounting a SIM card.
4. Module restart.
5.1. Connecting the antenna
Connecting an external antenna is necessary to proper operation of the module. The
antenna type depends on its mounting and on the strength of the GSM signal in the
antenna location. The antenna should be connected to the SMA (or optionally FME)
socket placed on the bottom side of a module housing.
Alternatively, it is also possible to use the antenna located inside
the module and then
the external connection is not required.
5.2. Initial setup
During the initial setup of the MT-703 module the parameters ensuring login onto GSM
network and/or GPRS transmission are configured. To make this configuration properly,
the module must be connected by an USB cable with the PC, which runs the MTM
program. The details of installation, operation and usage of the MTM software with
modules are described in the MTM user manual.
