The Nokia 12 GSM Module processes the control message it receives, and sends the response as a text message back to the originator. Received and recognised control messages are not stored in the Nokia 12 GSM Module memory. If a text message is not recognised as a control message, it is stored on the SIM card or Nokia 12 GSM Module memory as a normal text message.

Before you can send control messages to the Nokia 12 GSM Module in order to control or monitor the device attached to it, you must configure the Nokia 12 GSM Module. Use the Nokia 12 Configurator software, which can be downloaded at http://www.forum.nokia.com or http://www.americas.forum.Nokia.com. Some configurations are also possible with control messages; others require that Configurator is used.

Note: To use Configurator, you need the Nokia 12 GSM Module and a test board. The Nokia 12 GSM Module is connected to a compatible PC and Configurator with the test board. A power supply, data cable, antenna adapter, antenna, and SIM card are also needed. All these items are included in the Nokia 12 GSM Module test board sales package.

Attach the device to be controlled or monitored with control messages to the general-purpose inputs and outputs of the M2M system connector of the Nokia 12 GSM Module. There are 11 inputs of which the first three (1-3) are analog and the rest (4-11) are digital. The Nokia 12 GSM Module has also 9 digital output pins on the M2M system connector. If the information available from the device is continuous, select one of the three analog input pins. If the information is on/off information, use the inputs 4-11. The nine outputs can be used in digital mode only (set something on/off).
