Introduction 1.1 Document changes Revision Description Date 1.0 Initial draft 1/30/07 2.0 Updated Version 04/29/2008 5.0 Updated Version 07/14/2008 2. Overview 2.1 General GNAD1A is a proprietary GSM/GPRS/EDGE module from Continental Automotive Systems. The module will be integrated into telecommunication control devices produced by Continental for its automotive customers. The GAND1A test set-up is available for third-party testing which do not require audio or data-logging capabilities. This document will provide description for the test set-up. 2.2 GNAD1A Description GNAD1A is a proprietary GSM module designed and manufactured by Continental Automotive Systems for use in automotive applications. The key features of the modules are: • Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE • GPRS and EDGE Class 10 • 5 V DC Input • 250-450 mA average current draw while in a call • Up to 3 A peak current during GSM burst • Fakra RF connectors • Primary (black) and Secondary (maroon) RF antenna connectors • On-board SIM card connector for 3 V SIM cards • 40-pin system-level connector • PCM audio • Primary UART with auto baud rate detection up to 115.2 Kbps. Max supported rate is 921.6 Kbps. A diagram of the GNAD1A GSM module is shown in Figure 1. A photograph of the GNAD1A module is shown in Figure 2.

Assembled test set-up for GMAD1A functional testing 2.4 Quick Start Communication Guide In order to communicate from a laptop to the GNAD1A (as shown in Figure 3), the following equipment is needed: Laptop PC Interface board 5V DC Power supply (2 Amp) GNAD1A Serial Port Cable HyperTerminal, Hyper Access or another Communication tool For use with HyperTerminal baud rate needs to be set to 57.6Kbits, 8 bits, no parity, no stop bits, and hardware flow control. The following procedure should be followed to communicate with the GNAD1A: 1) Set the power supply to 5.0V and the current limit to 2.0A. 2) Connect the interface board to the power supply 3) Connect the serial port cable to the COM1 of PC and to the RS-232 connection on the Interface board. 4) Turn on the power supply output. 5) Press the NAD_ON_OFF switch for 3 seconds. The module should power on. 6) Use the primary UART to communicate with the NAD using HyperTerminal, Hyperaccess etc. “READY” message will appear when module powers on. 7) To turn the NAD off, press and hold the NAD_ON_OFF switch again for 2 seconds. 2.5 Quick Start Call Guide After setting up the interface board and GNAD1A as discussed in 2.4, the following AT commands can be sent to the NAD using HyperTerminal to make a call: 1) Type AT to confirm communication should receive OK back.(optional)

Title: User Guide for GNAD1A GSM module Continental Automotive Systems Date: 07/14/2008 Page: 6 2) The module is pre-set to use primary (black) antenna. Type AT+TASW= 1 (primary) or AT+TASW=2 (secondary) for antenna selection. 3) The radio will start scanning automatically on power-up with an unlocked SIM. 4) Type AT+XBANDSEL=NUM (where NUM is 850, 900, 1800, 1900 or 0 for all bands) to set the band of operation if desired (optional). 5) Type ATD123456; to make a voice call. 6) To end the call type ATH Data calls are not discussed here but standard AT commands apply. 2.6 List of Supported AT commands for testing purposes The section lists AT commands supported by GNAD1A. Unless otherwise noted, the AT commands shall follow the syntaxes specified in GSM 07.07. See AT Command manual for more information.
