SocketModem Shield ® SocketModem® Adapter Shield for Cellular Connectivity The SocketModem® Shield is the fastest way to rapidly prototype embedded cellular solutions for the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) market. This Arduino Shield adapter board brings MultiTech’s industry leading family of embedded cellular modems to a wide variety of development platforms. Not only does this Shield assist with rapid prototyping, MultiTech’s line of SocketModems provides the fastest and most hassle free route from concept to deployment on a carrier network. Features ·· Standard Arduino R3 Shield interface ·· SocketModem compatible footprint (supports all MultiTech SocketModems) ·· mbed library support (www.mbed.org) ·· Connection and network management ·· USB and Serial interface support ·· Highly configurable modem signal routing Targeted Applications ·· SMA antenna connector and hepta-band antenna • R&D projects ·· Dedicated power supply • University programs & labs • Rapid prototyping • Hobbyist projects • School projects MultiTech SocketModem® --Embedded cellular radio (purchase separately) SocketModem® Shield --Shield adapter board (included in kit) Shield Compatible Board --Programmable prototyping device (purchase separately) Specifications Model MTSAS-DK Power Requirements Connectors Physical Description Software Support MultiTech provides two software development paths. mbed Library To support the rapid prototyping and development process MultiTech has developed a set of mbed compatible libraries. mbed is an ARM sponsored software development system and community focused on speed and collaboration. These libraries work with most MultiTech SocketModem products and provide support for: ··SMS Messaging ··Radio & Connection Management ··IP Protocol Support These C++ libraries can also be used as a reference for developing a library in another language. For more information visit our developer page at: http://mbed.org/components/Multi-Tech-SocketModemArduino-Shield-MT/ Command Interface All MultiTech SocketModems come with a simple text-based command interface (known as AT commands). These simple commands are transferred over the device’s serial port and can configure/control all aspects of the cellular modem’s operation. This includes special commands to easily use IP protocols like UDP, TCP, HTTP, SMTP, and FTP. Since these are text based commands they are language agnostic and integrate easily into any software development framework. Refer to SocketModem command guides for model specific features and usage: http://www.multitech.com/en_US/DOCUMENTS/Families/ SocketModemCell/manuals.aspx & http://www.multitech.com/en_US/DOCUMENTS/Families/ SocketModemiCell/manuals.aspx Required Accessories There are several REQUIRED accessories that you will need to purchase along with your SocketModem Shield to complete your cellular development system. This includes the following: MultiTech SocketModem Shield Compatible Development Board MultiTech’s industry leading line of fully certified embedded cellular modems gives you a variety of footprint compatible connectivity options.
