Wiring Instructions

Used as GSM module for emergency telephones

Usage

To enable any function you need to first check whether the SIM card requires a
PIN and, if so, configure the corresponding parameter (“SIM card PIN number”).

Used as GSM module for emergency telephones

The Modem unit emulates an analogic telephone line to the connected device. The emulation includes line tone, busy line tone, ring tone, tone-dialing, DTMF forwarding.

– No programming necessary

Used to operate the Playboard controller from remote

Remote connections can be managed through DMG’s E-Cloud Software and they allow to operate our Playboard controllers and the modem units from remote. The connection occurs through the Internet with direct connection to the modem IP address.

Mandatory programming parameters
– Internet APN

Programming

You can programm the “Telemaco” unit directly onsite with the “PlayPad” programming
module.

Programming with PLAYPAD

A) – Setting up of menu language.

B) – Setting up of modem parameters.

Menu selectionAvailable choicesDescription(*1)(*2)
LanguageEnglish / Italian / German / Russian / French / Portuguese / DutchLanguage used in notifications by the modem.
Internet APN (*3)__________APN Server address (Access Point Network).
SIM card pin number (*4)____PIN number of the SIM card.
Geolocation____Country code required to connect to
closest Fusion node.

(*1) Used as GSM module for emergency telephones.

(*2) Used to operate the Playboard controller from remote.

(*3) This parameter is specific from your mobile operator.

(*4) If the SIM requires a Pin, the Modem unit will try to use the registered Pin. If there’s no Pin registered or it’s wrong, the Modem will stop its starting procedure and field people intervention will be required.

Diagnostic and Troubleshooting

Count the number of Led flashes to know the status of the installation.

Led Fault (red)

Led StatusDescriptionRemedy
OFFNo faults.
1XSIM card not inserted or not recognized.1) Insert the card; after, switch the unit off and then on again.
2) Try the card in another unit (ex. a mobile phone).
2XSIM card requires a Pin or the registered Pin is not valid.1) Enter PIN number using a mobile phone.
2) Register the PIN number in the Modem unit using a PlayPad or the application “DMG Modem Programmer”.
3) Check if the registered PIN is correct.
3XNetwork fault. No mobile network available.1) Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
2) Check the presence of GSM signal where the unit is installed.
4XGPRS data connection not
possibile through mobile network.
1) Check the presence of GPRS signal where the unit is installed.
2) Check if the APN parameter (Access Point Network) is correct.
3) Check that the SIM card and its contract include a data connection bundle.
5XData connection rejected by the operator.1) Check the SIM credit.
2) Check that the SIM card and its contract include a data connection bundle.
6XConfiguration fault.1) If the data connection is active, namely an APN is configured and the “reporting mode” parameter is set on Mail or the SMS option is enabled, then check that Server
SMTP, SMTP Server Port and at least one of 5 recipients are configured.
2) If the “ reporting mode” parameter is set on SMS, check the “SMS recipient number”.
