2.INTRODUCTION

2.1GENERAL

The Nokia 12 GSM Module provides wireless connectivity and remote management possibilities for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications and other wireless solutions. The Nokia 12 GSM Module has two variants:

RX-2 is dual band EGSM900/GSM1800 product

RX-9 dual band GSM850/GSM1900 product.

The Nokia 12 GSM Module supports EGPRS, GPRS, HSCSD (not supported in RX-9), CSD, and SMS.

Simple I/O applications can be easily implemented using the Nokia 12 GSM Module in the Remote I/O control, which offers message personalising, secure messaging, and timing functionality for SMS controlled I/O applications.

Additional intelligence for I/O applications can easily be implemented with Java. Java technology enables upgrading the application software, IMlet, also remotely.

The Nokia 12 GSM Module enables also location service in the Remote I/O control. Location coordinates can be easily queried by SMS.

The Remote I/O control is explained in this document.

Note: Some services described or mentioned in this document, such as GPRS, are network dependent. Please contact your network service provider for details.

2.2REMOTE I/O CONTROL

In the Remote I/O control the Nokia 12 GSM Module is controlled with, for example, a compatible mobile phone. Control messages are sent as text messages from the mobile phone to the Nokia 12 GSM Module. Based on the information in the text message, the Nokia 12 GSM Module in turn controls a device or machine attached to it through the M2M system connector.
