  Enter command mode: wait 3 seconds  +++  wait 3 seconds, AT commands follow.
  To set a modem to answer after 2 rings: ATS0=2    Save this with AT&W  

For technical reasons, a Telstra SIM card is recommended for use in Australia, with a "Data" number.
There are two kinds of 'phone numbers: Voice, and Data.
To be able to receive data calls on the GSM modem you need a "Data" number.
With a Voice number, outward data calls can be made, but the GSM modem will not answer incoming data calls.

GSM modems can be dialled up (and data transmitted) from a normal modem on a land line, provided that the SIM cards in the GSM modems are data enabled.

If you are having modem problems, output the active profile (current settings) using AT&V.  Email this to us (see top of page),
or print and fax it to Esis Pty Ltd, fax 02 9481 7420.

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
These GSM modems have GPRS capability. Subscribers log in and remain online.
User pays for the actual data transmitted, not for the time connected.
Its packet structure corresponds to the IP protocol. GPRS helps transmit large amounts of data in a very short time via mobile access.
Applications such as mobile Internet, fast e-mail transmission and e-commerce now make real economic sense.
With GPRS, when the modem connects, the network generally allocates an IP address dynamically to the modem, which is then used until it disconnects.
For GPRS the networks charge according to data packets sent, not according to how long the modem is connected.

UMTS - Universal Mobile Telecommunications System      www.umtsinfo.co.uk  
The goal of the third generation UMTS standard is to unify fixed line telephony, internet, mobile, and network technologies into one global roaming capable standard.
UMTS is the third generation (3G) of mobile telecommunications technology. It is the latest commercially available technology that mobile phones, PDAs, and smart phones are using today. With this development, internet access (email and web browsing), video calling and messaging, and text messaging (SMS) are now possible along with traditional phone tasks.

    http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-gsm-and-umts/#ixzz1C0cK1Scq
Unlike GSM, UMTS is mainly based on CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) scheme and now combines it with TDMA. However, UMTS is still new as there are only a few areas and networks that support the technology. Even with countries that support it, it may have set different spectrum, thus interoperability does not work fully when moving from one nation to another nation with drastically different spectrum.

RoHS is the acronym for Restriction of Hazardous Substances - EU Directive 2002/95/EC: restriction on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical or electronic equipment sold or used in the European Union after July 1, 2006. These hazardous substances include: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

MC35 - MC35T - MC35iT  GSM Terminal with GPRS - Dual Band
TC35 - TC35T - TC35iT  GSM Terminal (without GPRS)

Similar to modems above, it also has voice capability with a special handset (Votronic $65+GST).
The current versions is  MC35iT (with GPRS).
Note: USB to serial converters (click here) can be used with these, for connection to a USB port,
or use the Twist GSM USB modem below.
Feb 2004: all modems are now supplied with GPRS, i.e. the TC35, TC35T, TC35iT are no longer supplied.

The " i " version saves the handshake settings in memory, so that it powers up in the same mode as when powered down.
(The TC35T always powered up in XON/XOFF mode).
The case dimensions are 65 x 74 x 33mm which is a little different from the ETM9200 above.
The power voltage range requirement for the MC35iT is 8 to 30VDC (ETM9200 is 6 to 40VDC)
Otherwise, the MC35iT is the same as the ETM9200 and uses the same power supply and antennas.
