SAFETY
PRECAU-
TIONS
• Modem propagates radio frequency (RF) signals. When modem is
being used, Rules of usage and safety precautions about RF devices should
be considered.
• Please, pay attention not to use this device in planes, hospitals,
petrol stations or places that using of GSM devices is forbidden.
• Please be sure that modem does not do parasitic effects to nearby
devices. For instance: cardiac pacemaker, medical equipments. Antenna
of modem must be kept away from computers, ofce equipments, home
applications etc.
• An external antenna should be connected to modem for proper
operation. Please, use antenna which is approved to use with this modem, only.
When you need to choose a new antenna, please contact with our company.
• Antenna must be far away from human body at least 26.6cm.
Please do not put antenna in metal boxes.
2.1. Usage of Modem in a Vehicle
• In case of modem will be used in a vehicle, before nishing the
installIn case of modem will be used in a vehicle, before nishing the
installation, please control relevant laws and regulations of your country
about usage GSM in vehicles.
• Please, get installation of modem done to qualied staff. Owing
to possibility of occurring parasitic effects on your vehicle’s electronics,
please take authorized service of your vehicle advice.
52. Safety Precations
• Modem should be connected to power supply system of your vehicle by using a fuse-
protected terminal in your vehicle’s fuse box.
• Please, be careful when modem gets power from battery of your vehicle. Battery may
be discharged after a while.
2.2. Protection of Modem
• To be sure about correct usage, please install and switch on your modem carefully.
• Please do not use your modem in places which has high humidity and high
temperature and do not expose your modem to hazardous chemicals, water or dust.
• Please do not try to modify or disassembly your modem. There is no any part that can
be xed by user. This process makes warranty void.
• Please do not drop, hit or shake your modem and do not use your modem in
extremely shaky environments.
• Please do not pull cable of antenna or power, attach/remove connector by holding it.
• Please use your modem according to user’s manual. Using modem unlike as described
in this user manual will make warranty of your device void.

APPLIED
TERMS
AND
ABBRE-
VIA-
TIONS
IP address A special number that assigned to a device working on Internet
APN “Access Point Name” – GPRS server name that provides data
transmission
GSM “Global System for Mobile Communications” – Voice, data
and text message package transmission technology which is
commonly used in cell phone
GPRS “General Packet Radio Service”, technology which is applied for
data package transmission in GSM networks
TCP “Transmission Control Protocol” – A data transmission
ow control which is applied between devices working in a
network. Data is sent in packages. This protocol guarantees
data transmission correctness.
Package
Transmission
The transmission that data is not sent continuously, they are
sent in pieces which are named as package.

USAGE
OF
DEVICE
BSC9000 series modems are multipurpose GSM/GPRS modems that make
data transmission possible by using any network of an operator which
works in 900/1800MHz or 850/900/1800/1900MHz bands. Modem is
designed to work with any device that has RS-232 or RS-485 type serial
interface.
Modem provides remote reading of electricity, water, gas meters and
other measuring devices having serial port by GPRS.
On the side of GPRS network, connection is performed in TCP/IP protocols.
On the side of device, connection is established with RS-232 and RS-485
type serial outputs.
BSC9000 series modems are also equipped with one digital input and one
digital output. By using this features, BSC9000 series modems can get
signals from a door detector, alarm unit or any device that has a digital
output. Status of those signals can be reported as an SMS or they can be
read remotely by using GSM/GPRS communication protocol or locally by
using service connection.

5. Principle of Operation

PRIN-
CIPLE
OF
OPE-
RATION
BSC9000 series modems work as TCP server or client in GPRS Networks.
IP address of modem is determined by used SIM card. Modem is started
as a server or client device according to its conguration, automatically.
When the modem is started, it controls SIM card, signal strength, and GSM
network availability then it logins to APN by using previously congured
login information. The relevant service is started by successful login to
APN.
Modem has features to provide data ow diagnostics. If the signal strength
is too low or the data cannot be transmitted for a certain period of time
or there is a time period which is previously dened by the user to restart
the modem, modem reinitiates the GPRS network connection and logins
to APN again.
BSC9000 series modems work transparently. It makes communication
possible independent from the connection’s protocol with all transmission
channels. Figure 1 shows all existing transmission channels.
NOTE
The modem postpones the restart procedure if there is a data
transmission and/or USB conguration cable is actively connected.
The data coming from GPRS network is buffered in internal memory and it
is sent serially from a local transmission channel which is set previously by
user. Similarly, data coming from serial channel is buffered in size of TCP
packages in internal memory and sent to GPRS network.

Existing Transmission
Channels in BSC9000
series modems
The data coming from GPRS network is buffered in internal memory and it is sent serially
from a local transmission channel which is set previously by user. Similarly, data coming
from serial channel is buffered in size of TCP packages in internal memory and sent to GPRS
network.
Since the BSC9000 series modems work transparently, it supports connections with IEC
62056-21, IEC1142, DLMS or other similar protocols.
Internal registers of BSC9000 series modems can be read by using free Troll software or
BLUSKY ASCII AT command sets. It lets user to change GPRS connections and all other
settings of modem. Please check item 7 for details on software.

5. Principle of Operation
It is obligatory to authenticate to the modem with a valid username and password in order
to change or read settings. Also, ve different IP address and Subnet Masks can be set as
black list or white list lter to improve security. Terminal block of the modem can also be
sealed and manipulations to terminal cover can be logged thus reliability of the modem is
maximized.
BSC9000 series modems can also send information by using SMS beside using the serial
interfaces. SMS messages can be sent according to any of events encountered below:
• Modem terminal cover is opened or closed
• Violation of white list or black list lter
• Authentication attempt by using wrong username or password
• A signal change is detected (ON or OFF) in digital input of modem
• GSM signal strength is below user dened threshold level
The digital input in BSC9000 series modems can be used to collect external alarm signals,
to cumulate the pulses of other gas or water meters, to detect instantly door or cubicle
openings or similar events. Also the digital output in modem lets user to control external
alarms, motors or similar devices or to generate clock synchronization pulses. It is settable
to give single pulse or continuous ON signal or continuous OFF signal.
