EXCEL 500/600 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
GSM Antenna Installation 
The maximum antenna cable length is 8.0m (including the 20 
cm M20 Terminal cable). Use a cable that is specified by the 
supplier of the GSM antenna. Improper cables with 
resistances that are too high will reduce the amplification of 
the antenna. 
•   Ideally you should know in which direction the next GSM 
station is located in order to position of the antenna 
accordingly. 
•   The easiest way to check the signal quality is to operate a 
cellular (mobile) phone at the very place where you want 
to place the antenna. 
—   The cellular phone must operate in the same GSM 
network as the M20T. 
—   Drop-outs in voice communication indicate that the 
reception is too weak. The data communication will 
never work where you have drop-outs in voice 
communication with the cellular phone. The pre­
ferred way is to set-up the M20T on a terminal 
program and check the reception with the SIEMENS 
AT commands – see the M20T handbook. 
—   An alternative way to verify the signal quality is to 
use the terminal program on the CD that is supplied 
with the M20T. You will find a special button on it 
that allows checking on the signal quality. 
•   Dipole antennas - e.g. antennas with a magnetic foot ­
must sit on metal ground to achieve the specified 
amplification. The larger the metal ground, the better. 
•   The antenna must be mounted vertically, NOT horizontally. 
•   Avoid barriers for the antenna signal. Ideally, within a 
range of approximately 3 meters there should not be any 
vertical barriers that would block the antenna signal, such 
as doors, PCs, cupboards, etc. 
•   Select the most suitable antenna. Location and mounting 
limitations may require that special antennas be used, 
such as antennas with higher amplification or directional 
antennas. 
•   Avoid loose contacts. All connections from the M20T to the 
antenna must be tight. 
•   Increase the distance between the antenna and Excel 
CPU if you experience electromagnetic interference of the 
antenna signal to the CPU. An indication of this might be 
that the functioning of the MMI of the CPU is disturbed or 
that the outputs behave abnormally. 
M20 Terminal Set-up 
Prior to beginning the set-up, get the M20T manual (or CD-
ROM, if it was delivered with one). Everything is described in 
it and you will need it. 
IMPORTANT 
It is absolutely mandatory to use a serial data line 
monitor for the set-up of the M20T. Without such a 
device being connected between the serial port of 
the PC and the M20T, you will get no information on 
the set-up process. 
1.   Insert the SIM card into the M20T. 
2.   Connect the serial cable to the M20T and a PC or  
laptop.  
3.   Connect the antenna cable and antenna to the M20T 
connector. 
4.   Start a terminal program, e.g. Windows™  
HyperTerminal  
5.   Connect the power supply to the M20 Terminal and 
plug into mains. 
The M20T LED will be blinking now. 
6.   Set terminal program to 19200 baud. 
7.   Verify the correct operation of the M20T serial interface 
by entering: AT. 
The M20T will respond: OK. 
8.   Change the M20T’s baud rate from 19200 (factory 
default) to 9600: AT+IPR=9600. 
9.   Set terminal program back to 9600 baud. 
10.   Command the M20T to cut the line whenever the DTR 
signal is dropped (OFF) or toggled ON/OFF: AT&D2 
11.   Store setting in nonvolatile memory: AT&W. 
12.   You may now enter the PIN number or let the Excel 
CPU do this. If you want to enter the PIN number now, 
enter the PIN with the command AT+CPIN=”xxxx”, 
where xxxx represents the PIN number. 
NOTE:   Regarding the PIN entry, the M20T shows the same 
behavior as a regular cellular phone, as it uses the 
same type of SIM card. This means, for example, 
that after 3 false PIN inputs, the SIM card will lock 
and need to be released via the “PUK” Personal 
Unlocking Key (Master PIN). 
Repeated input of the wrong “PUK” (more than 2 
false inputs) will destroy the SIM card irrevocably. 
13.   Once the M20 has accepted the PIN it will log into the 
GSM net. 
The terminal window will show “OK”. 
The M20T LED will be on continuously. 
14.   Disconnect the serial cable from the PC/laptop and  
connect it to the Excel CPU.  
15.   Verify that the M20T dials out on the telephone number 
for data communication, otherwise, its call will not be 
recognized by the XBS. The M20T can be forced to do 
so by adding the letter <i> to the telephone number, 
e.g.<ATDi1234567891234>
