1. Introduction  
The SAM3G is a compact, light-weight, UMTS based modem. It provides GSM, GPRS, EDGE  
and WCDMA connectivity.  
-
-
GSM, GPRS, EDGE : 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz  
UMTS, WCDMA/HSDPA : 850MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz  
The SAM3G is designed for both mobile and fixed M2M applications. It has an RJ45 socket for  
both input voltage and serial RS232 signals, a MiniB USB connector, a SMB-Jack for antenna  
connection, a SIM holder and an LED indicator.  
The SAM3G is capable of sending/receiving SMS, Circuit switched data and Packet-switched  
data.

2. Safety Precautions  
The following safety precautions must be observed whenever the SAM3G modem is in operation  
or in service. Failure to comply with these precautions violates the safety standards of the design,  
manufacture and intended use of the product  
-
Switch off the SAM3G modem :  
In hospitals or places where medical equipments may be in use.  
In an aircraft  
Refueling points  
Explosive areas  
-
Restricted use of the SAM3G modem  
Near any chemical plant  
Near any Fuel depot  
Areas with mobile phone warning signs  
Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices. Road safety always comes first  
The SAM3G modem receives and transmit radio frequency energy while switched on,  
therefore interference can occur if the SAM3G is near TVs, radios, PCs or any inadequately  
shielded equipments.  
3. Radio frequency exposure - SAR  
The SAM3G modem is a low-power transceiver, similar to a typical handheld GSM/GPRS/UMTS  
mobile phone. When it is turned on, it will emit low-level radio frequency energy.  
There are different guidelines and standards around the world that govern the permitted levels of  
radio frequency exposure for general population. The levels include a safety margin to a human  
body.  
The Specific Absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency energy is  
absorbed by the body when exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic field. The SAR value is  
determined at the highest certified power level in the laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR  
level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the  
transceiver is designed to use minimum power to connect to the network.  
The SAM3G modem is approved to use in applications where the antenna is placed more than  
20cm from the body.  
For other applications, the integrator is responsible for the local SAR requirements.

8. Operation  
The SAM3G can support either the USB port or the Serial RS232 port. The port  
configuration is done at the point of sale. Do not operate these 2 ports at the same time !  
8.1 Using the USB port  
a. Installing the USB driver  
Note : If the old driver version has been installed, it must be removed, before installing the latest  
driver. To uninstall the old driver, follow these steps :  
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Open the Control Panel  
Double click System, System Properties window appears  
Select the Hardware tab  
Select the Device Manager  
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers to show the installed devices.  
Right click the Sierra Wireless MC87xx device entry and choose Uninstall.  
Click OK to confirm.  
Step1 : Locate and run the DriverInstaller.exe . Note that there is no feedback, just wait a few  
moments for the program to run.  
Step2 : Connect the SAM3G to the PC, using the supplied USB cable. Several Found New  
Hardware balloons appear above the tool tray as the system detects the new devices. After the  
devices are detected, the Device Manager will show, in the following categories :  
-
-
Network Adapters : Sierra Wireless HSDPA Network adapter.  
Port (COM&LPT) :  
Sierra Wireless AT Command port (UMTS)  
Sierra Wireless CNS port (UMTS)  
Sierra Wireless Data Port (UMTS)  
Sierra Wireless DM Port (UMTS)  
-
Universal Serial Bus Controllers : Sierra Wireless MC87xx device  
b. Installing the 3G_Watcher  
Note : If the old Watcher has been installed, it must be removed before installing the latest  
Watcher. To uninstall the old Watcher, follow these steps :  
-
-
-
-
Open the Control Panel  
Double-click Add or Remove programs  
Select Sierra Wireless 3G Watcher  
Click Change/Remove  
Step 1 : Run the 3G_Watcher.exe, the 3G_Watcher welcome-window, appears, click Next

Step 4 : Use the default folder, click Next  
Step 5 : Click Install, then Finish  
c. Connection  
Connect the SAM3G to the PC using the supplied USB cable. After connection, the PC will  
automatically detect the SAM3G and run the 3G_Watcher.  
To set up the data profile, go to the “Tools” option, select “Connections” -> “Profile” then enter  
Profile name, User name, Password, Access Point Name (APN) and Connection type. PDP type  
default is IP.  
8.2 Using the Serial RS232 port  
The SAM3G has 2 different configurations for the serial port : General configuration and Meter  
configuration.  
a. General configuration :  
In this configuration, the SAM3G’s default terminal speed is 115200bps, data format is 1+8+1.  
There are only 4 serial data signals supported, namely RXD, TXD, RTS and CTS.  
b. Meter configuration :  
In this configuration, the SAM3G will be controlled by an internal micro-controller, its default  
terminal speed is 9600bps, 1+8+1. There are 5 serial data signals supported, namely RXD,TXD,  
RTS,CTS and DCD.  
c. Connection :  
To test the serial port configuration, follow these steps :  
-
-
-
-
Insert the USIM card into the SAM3G  
Connect the Antenna  
Connect the SAM3G to the PC’s COM port using the supplied serial cable (RJ45-DB9).  
On the PC, run a terminal program, ex. HyperTerminal, set the program speed at either  
115200bps, or 9600bps.  
-
Connect the 12Vdc to the SAM3G Red+Black wires

d. AT commands :  
The SAM3G modem supports most of the AT commands specified in the following standards :  
-
-
-
3GPP TS 27.005 : Control SMS functions for devices on GSM/WCDMA networks  
3GPP TS27.007 : Control devices operating on GSM/WCDMA networks  
ITU-T V.250 : Control serial communications over an asynchronous interface  
For details of the AT commands, refer to the “Supported AT command reference” manual.
