1. AUTOMATIC RESTART ON APPLICATION OF Setting the internal DIL switch to position A will set the auto start mode whereby application of power will restart the terminal This is possible after the AT SMSO command has been used to switch the terminal off In this mode the DTR line signal transitions will not reset the terminal For most applications this mode would be the most appropriate normal operating mode POWER MODE 1 DTR CONTROLLED RESET OF TERMINAL Setting the DIL switch to position 1 will set the terminal to DTR controlled reset where lowering and raising the DTR line on the main serial interface will power on and reset the terminal This is possible after the AT SMSO command has been used TACTUS Page 4 MTC45 GSM GPRS Terminal User Manual to switch the terminal off In this mode if the power is disconnected and reconnected the DTR line will need to be toggled before the terminal will restart This mode must be selected for firmware updating via the serial interface 3 2 AERIAL SOCKET The FME aerial socket is mounted on the case shell Ensure the terminal is never powered without an appropriate aerial connected to avoid damage to the MC45 module Also when attaching an aerial ensure that excessive torque is not applied to the aerial socket it is sufficient to lightly hand tighten the FME aerial plug 3 3 26WAY COMPACT D TYPE CONNECTION TTS supply a range of accessory cables for connection to the terminal We stron2.
