a) Connect the GSM hardware to your iSeries using v.24 cable
- The system must have an RS-232 C/D serial interface, which is provided by the communications adapter that includes an Enhanced EIA 232/V.24 connection.
- #9771 adapter card with integrated 56kbps modem (included with every new iSeries) : The #9771 is a two-line WAN adapter, with one port supporting multiple protocol communications and the other port supporting V.90 56K PPP data via an internal modem.
Connection to the GSM hardware is via an IBM cable #0348 - V.24/EIA232 20-Ft PCI Cable. (This cable is available in different lengths).
Please note the specifications of the cable. See diagram 
For local availability of Terminals please see the below links:
b) Connect the GSM hardware to your iSeries using TCP/IP
- A Serial Device Server is used to connect a GSM-unit to SMS-BlueNote over a TCP/IP network, so you don't have the 8-meter V24-cable restriction, nor the limits of a 15-meter antenna cable.
Rather the GSM unit might be placed any where in the network even in another part of the world - over the Internet.
The following IP-servers are tested with BlueSeries SMS
1) Moxa : www.moxa.com
NPort 5110 (1 port)
NPort 5210 (2 port)
NPort 5410 (4 port)
NPort 5610 (8/16 port)
2) Lantronix: MSS100 www.lantronix.com
Use standard cables to connect the devices.
