GT863-PY
(GPIO & PYTHON)

RS232 Serial Interface for AT commands,
data, fax, SMS

YES

POWER 12V DC

YES

AUX RJ11 6-pin configuration

GPIO:
GND
GPIO 4,
GPIO 6 / Alarm
GPIO 7 / Buzzer
GPIO 5
Vmod (3,8 V DC)
Remarks:

• Automatic POWER ON.
• GPIOs can be configured as I

C or SPI

bus by PYTHON script elements.

The GT863-PY allows to be remotely controlled by AT commands (GSM 07.07 and 07.05) and the
connection to the host controller (Data Terminal Equipment DTE) is established through one
RS232 standard port. This port serves also for serial bi-directional Data and Fax transfer.
All the interfacing is done by 4 connectors placed on the front and rear panels.
The Quad-band evolution

Telit GT863-PY

includes features like sensing of hot removal of the SIM,

the higher upload speed of the GPRS Class 10 Packet Data transfer and the entire structure
results in a RoHS compliant product.

EASY GPRS® Embedded

Telit GT863-PY

embeds TCP/IP stack and DNS query protocol. Static and dynamic IP allocation,

PPP and UDP as well as FTP Client are supported. Developers just need to add Telit Proprietary
AT commands to establish a TCP/IP connection through the GPRS network.

EASY FREQUENCY SCAN® Function

Telit GT863-PY

includes a dedicated set of AT commands to scan all the GSM channels, reporting

all available parameters. With EASY FREQUENCY SCAN® the GSM network coverage at the
location of the GT863-PY Terminal can be examined even without inserted SIM in order to select
the provider with the best field strength, the most channels or base transceiver stations and to
optimize the antenna position

EASY SCRIPT® Function

Telit GT863-PY

includes a dedicated set of AT commands to run scripts in PYTHON

language

within the module. By using this EASY SCRIPT® feature, the script inside the module interacts
with the interfaces, allowing other tasks to interrupt it. The script interpreter engine of

Telit GT863-

is allowing self controlled operations.

With the

Telit GT863-PY

it is possible to configure the available GPIOs 4-7 as I

C or SPI bus.

JAMMING DETECTION and REPORT

The

Telit GT863-PY

offers the Jamming Detection and Report functionality, which allows the unit

to detect attempts to discontinue GSM communication by interfering with the GSM radio signal.
