Figure 3. 1
HyperTerminal Window
The titlebar should begin with the CrossCheck GSM configuration file name. By default, the CrossCheck GSM. ht file configures the HyperTerminal program to look for the CrossCheck GSM on COM1. If the CrossCheck GSM is connected to another port (COM2, for example): 1. Refer to Help in the Properties dialog for assistance in setting the parameters correctly.

Testing the Serial Link with the CrossCheck GSM
To test the CrossCheck GSM for proper operation: 1. For example, you can type the following message in the HyperTerminal window to send the following message to query the CrossCheck GSM for the product name and software version:
>QVR<
If the CrossCheck GSM is operating properly, it will acknowledge the query by sending a response such as:
>RVRCrossCheck (TM) GSM;VERSION 1. 00 (date); PROD=06. 00;TAIP=01. 10;ID:0000; <checksum><
Note Version numbers may vary.

Configuring and Activating the SIM
To operate the CrossCheck GSM, you need a SIM card. The SIM card is the true identity of any GSM phone as far as the mobile network is concerned. A SIM is a smart card containing a microprocessor and associated logic. SIMs can be obtained from a network provider, a service provider, or from a mobile phone shop. Obtaining a SIM You need to select a GSM service provider, purchase a SIM, and have the service provider initialize your SIM. When you obtain a SIM, make sure that it is configured for data and voice operation as well as SMS services that normally come with GSM cellular service. · If the circuit-switched connection is to be made from a land line connection (PSTN/ISDN), you need a data number in addition to the standard voice number. If the circuit-switched connection is between two GSMs (CrossCheck and GSM phone at the base), a voice number may be sufficient. In this case, the voice number supports voice, SMS, and CSW modes.
·
Note You can use SMS for simple reporting, either querying from the base or exception reporting from the mobile unit. Setting a PIN number Once you have obtained a SIM card, the network you have chosen may require that you set a Personal Identity Number (PIN). A PIN is a four-to-eight digit number that is used to protect the SIM from unauthorized use. You can set the PIN on the SIM by putting the SIM into a standard mobile phone and using that phone's PIN-setting function.

You will also need to supply the PIN to the CrossCheck GSM as it will be initializing the SIM on your behalf. · Trimble recommends setting the PIN in the CrossCheck GSM before inserting the SIM, as this avoids having old PINs rejected by the SIM. Set the PIN using the PC message (>SPCGE;PIN=x. . . x<) as described in Programming the GSM PIN and Calling Options on page 73.
·
,
Caution Incorrect entry of the PIN could cause the SIM to be blocked. For more information on blocked SIMs, see SIMs and the Network.
After setting the PIN, Trimble recommends that you: 1. Apply power to the unit.
The SIM supplier will provide additional information.
