1.3.2 Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating MC55i Terminal. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply with these precautions.

When in hospitals or other health care facilities, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile if to be instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may b e sensitive to RF energy.

The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, conta ct the physician or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while it is on. This personal subgroup always should check the distance to the mobile.

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation o f wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Check the local and actual laws about these themes. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases

or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where b las ting ope ratio ns ar e in pr ogre ss. Op erat ion of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy wh ile switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off th e cellular terminal or mobile whereve r forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile while driving a vehicle unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile park the vehicle. Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.

Check the actual and local laws about these themes.

MC55i Terminal Hardware Interface Description

1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information

IMPORTANT! Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. In that case connections cannot be guarante ed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.

Remember, in order to make calls or receive calls the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.

Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Some networks require a valid SIM card to be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.

If a power supply unit is used to supply the device it must meet the demands placed on SELV circuits in accordance with EN60950. The maximum permissible connection length between the device and the supply source should not exceed 3m.

According to the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy, an antenna connected to the FME jack of the device should be placed at least 20cm away from human bodies.

3.3 Operating Modes

The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters.

Table 8: Overview of operating modes

Normal operation GSM / GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN com-

mand. Software is active to minimum extent. If the Terminal was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power saving can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 alternatingly activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow permanent access to all AT commands.

GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network

paging with BTS is carried out. The Terminal is ready to send and receive.

GSM TALK Connection between two subscribers is in progress.

Power consumption depends on network coverage individual settings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.

GPRS IDLE Terminal is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is

currently sent or received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS configuration (e.g. multislot settings).

GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates, GPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings) and reduction of maximum output power.

POWER DOWN Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command or after activation of the

PD_IN line. The RTC works continuously, but the software is not activ e. Interfaces are not accessible.

3.5 Power Supply



The power supply of the MC55i Terminal has to be a single voltage source of V

=8V…30V

PLUS

capable of providing a peak current (pulsed 2x577ms at T=4.615ms) of about 1. 2A at 12V during an active transmission. The uplink burst causes strong ripple (drop) on the power lines. The drop voltage should not exceed 1V, but the absolute minimum voltage during drops must be >7.6V.

The MC55i T ermin al is protected from supply voltage reversal and overvoltage. An internal fuse that is not removable is intended for electrical safety according to EN60950. An external fast acting fuse >

0.4A with melting integral I2t (0.15 … 0.25)A2s is necessary to use the MC55i Ter-

minal at a 12V or 24V power supply system for vehicles. The power supply must be compliant with the EN60950 guidelines. A switching regulator regulates the input voltage for the internal supply. In POWER DOWN

mode the switching regulator is turned off by the On/Off logic. A separate voltage regulator supplies the real time clock (RTC) in the GSM engine.

When power fails for >1ms, MC55i Terminal resets or switches off. When power fails for >15s the RTC will be reset.

MC55i Terminal Hardware Interface Description

3.5 Power Supply



3.5.1 Turn MC55i Terminal on

The IGT_IN signal (pin 4) switches the MC55i Terminal on. After start-up, the MC55i Terminal enters the net searching state. The IGT_IN signal is activated when an appropriate p ower supply unit is plugged to the 6-pole Western jack.

While the PD_IN pin (pin3) is not active (voltage <2V) you can start the MC55i Terminal by activating the RS-232 DTR line.

After startup of the MC55i Terminal the RS232 lines are in an undefined state for approx. 900ms. This may cause undefined characters to be transmitted over the RS232 lines during this period.

3.5.2 Reset MC55i Terminal

An easy way to reset the MC55i Terminal is entering the command AT+CFUN=x,1. For details on AT+CFUN please see [1].

As an alternative, you can shut down the MC55i Terminal as described in Section 3.5.3 and then restart it as described in Section 3.5.1.

3.5.3 Turn MC55i Terminal off

Normal shutdown:

• To turn off the MC55i Terminal use the AT^SMSO command, rather than disconnecting the mains adapter. This procedure lets the MC55i Terminal log off from the network and allows the software to enter a secure state and save data before disconnecting the power supply. After AT^SMSO has been entered the MC55i Terminal returns the following result codes:

^SMSO: MS OFF OK ^SHUTDOWN

The "^SHUTDOWN" result code indicates that the MC55i Terminal turns off in less than 1 second. After the shutdown procedure is complete the MC55i Terminal enters the POWER DOWN mode. The green status LED stops flashing (see Section 3.9 for a detaile d LED description). The RTC is still fed from the voltage regulator in the power supply ASIC.

Emergency shutdown:

• In the event of software hang-ups etc. the MC55i Terminal can be switched off by applying a voltage >5V to the PD_IN pin (pin 3) for more than 100ms. The PD_IN signal switches the MC55i Terminal off. All internal supply voltages are off, except for the power down voltage, which still feeds the real-time clock (RTC).

Caution: Use the PD_IN pin only when, due to serious problems, the software is not responding for more than 5 seconds. Pulling the /PD pin causes the loss of all information stored in the volatile memory since power is cut off immediately. Therefore, this procedure is intended only for use in case of emergency, e.g. if MC55i Terminal fails to shut down properly.

MC55i_Terminal_HD_v01.201a Page 23 of 47 2010-04-16 Confidential / Released

MC55i Terminal Hardware Interface Description

3.5 Power Supply

When the MC55i Terminal enters the POWER DOWN mode, e.g. after you have issued the AT^SMSO command or activated the PD_IN signal, all RS-232 interface lines are active for a period of 50ms to max. 3.5s. This may cause undefined characters to be transmitted on the RS-232 lines which can be ignored.



3.5.4 Disconnecting power supply

Before disconnecting the power supply from the PLUS pin, make sure that the MC55i Terminal is in a safe condition. The best way is to wait 1s after the "^SHUTDOWN" result code has been indicated.

3.5.5 Automatic thermal shutdown

An on-board NTC measures the temperature of the built-in MC55i module. If over- or undertemperature is detected on the module the MC55i Terminal automatically shuts down to avoid thermal damage to the system. Table 15 specifies the ambient temperature threshold for the MC55i Terminal.

The automatic shutdown procedure is equivalent to the power-down initiated with the AT^SMSO command, i.e. MC55i Terminal logs off from the network and the software enters a secure state avoiding loss of data. In IDLE mode it takes typically one minute to deregister from the network and to switch off.

Alert messages transmitted before the MC55i Terminal switches off are implemented as Unsolicited Result codes (URCs). For details see the description of AT^SCTM command provided in [1].

Thermal shutdown will be deferred if a critical temperature limit is exceeded, while an emergency call or a call to a predefined phone number is in progress, or during a two minute guard period after power up. See [1] for details.

3.5.6 RTC

The internal Real Time Clock (RTC) of the MC55i Terminal retains the time and date and handles the alarm (reminder) function. The AT+CCLK command serves to set the time and date, and AT+CALA specifies a reminder message. See [1] for details.

A dedicated voltage regulator backs up the RTC even in POWER DOWN mode and enables MC55i Terminal to keep track of time and date.

However, please note that the Alarm mode described in [1], Section AT+CALA, is not intended for the MC55i Terminal. The AT+CALA command can only be used to set a reminder message, but not to configure the mobile to wake up from POWER DOWN mode into Alarm mode. Therefore, after setting a timer with AT+CALA be sure not to shut down the MC55i Terminal by AT^SMSO or PD_IN signal.

MC55i Terminal is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:

• Port TxD @ application sends data to TXD of MC55i Terminal

• Port RxD @ application receives data from RXD of MC55i Terminal The RS-232 interface is implemented as a serial asynchronous transmitter and receiver con-

forming to ITU-T V.24 Interchange Circuits DCE. It is configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit, and can be operated at bit rates from 300bps to 115kbps. Autobauding supports bit rates from 1.2kbps to 115kbps. Hardware handshake using the /RTS and /CTS signals and XON/XOFF software flow control are supported.

In addition, the modem control signals /DTR, /DSR, /DCD and /RING are available. The modem control signal RING (Ring Indication) can be used to indicate, to the cellular device application, that a call or Unsolicited Result Code (URC) is received. There are different modes of operation, which can be set with AT commands.

Note: The /DTR signal will only be polled once per second from the internal firmware of MC55i.

3.7.1 Supported Audio Modes

The audio interface can be configured by AT commands. Refer to [1] for details. The electrical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. Specification s are

listed in Table 20. To suit several types of audio equipment, three aud io modes given by default can be selected by the AT command AT^SNFS.

Regarding audio performance, compliance with the TS 51010-1 specification and GCF recommendations has been certified for the parameters provided by audio mode 1 and audio interface 1. The settings are optimized for the reference handset (type Votronic) connected to the MC55i Terminal. To ensure that the reference parameters are always within the limits demanded by the standards they cannot be changed by AT command. Furthermore, the reference parameters are set as factory default.

In audio mode 4 and 5, the gain in the microphone, earpiece and the sidetone path ca n be adjusted from the cellular device application by using further AT commands.

Please note that the 2

audio interface of the MC55i module is not connected in the MC55i Terminal. Audio modes 2, 3 and 6 can be selected by setting AT^SAIC=2,1,1, for further details refer to [1].

3.7.2 Speech processing

The voiceband filter includes a digital interpolation low-pass filter for received voiceband signals with digital noise shaping and a digital decimation low-pass filter for voiceband signals to be transmitted.

After voiceband (interpolation) filtering the resulting 4Mbit/s data stream is digital-to-analog converted and amplified by a programmable gain stage in the voiceband processing part. The output signal can directly be connected to the earpiece of the GSM cellular device or to an external handset earpiece (via I/O connector). In the opposite direction the input signal from the microphone is first amplified by a programmable amplifier. After analog-to-digital conversion a 4Mbit/s data stream is generated and voiceband (decimation) filtering is performed.

The resulting speech samples from the voiceband filters are handled by the DSP of the baseband controller to calculate e.g. amplifications, sidetone, echo cancellation or noise suppression.

Full rate, half rate and enhanced full rate, speech and channel encoding including voice activity detection (VAD) and discontinuous transmission (DTX) and digital GMSK modulation are also performed on the GSM baseband processor.

Note: With regard to acoustic shock, the cellular application must be designed to a void sending false AT commands that might increase the amplification, e.g. for a high sensitive earpiece.

3.8 SIM Interface

The SIM interface is intended for 1.8V and 3V SIM cards in accordance with GSM 11.12 Phase

2. The card holder is a five wire interface according to GSM 11.11. A sixth pin has been added to detect whether or not a SIM card is inserted.

Figure 8: SIM interface

All signals of the SIM interface are protected from electrostatic discharge with spark gaps to GND and clamp diodes to 1.8V resp. 2.9V and GND.

Removing and inserting the SIM card during operation requires the software to be reinitialized. Therefore, after reinserting the SIM card it is necessary to restart MC55i Terminal.

Note: No guarantee can be given, nor any liability accepted, if loss of data is encountered after removing the SIM card during operation. Also, no guarantee can be given for properly initializing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed a SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart the MC55i Terminal.

3.9 Status LED



3.9 Status LED

A green LED displays the operating status of the terminal:

Figure 9: Status LED

The LED is driven by the SYNC line of the integrated MC55i module which can be configured by using the AT^SSYNC command. For the purpose of the MC55i Terminal it is recommended to retain the default setting of AT^SSYNC=1 (AT^SSYNC=0 is not applicable).

The following table lists the possible LED patterns and describes the operating status of the MC55i Terminal indicated by each pattern if AT^SSYNC=1.

During the transition from one LED pattern to another the "on" and/or "off" periods of the LED may vary in length. This is because an event that triggers the change may occur any time and, thus, truncate the current LED pattern at any point.

Restricted operation according to 3GPP TS 45.005 V6.7.0 (2004-11), Annex D, D.2.1, Temperature (GSM 400, GSM 900 and DCS 1 800): “Outside this temperature range the MS, if powered on, shall not make ineffective use of the radio frequency spectrum. In no case shall the MS exceed the transmitted levels as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005 for extreme ope ration.”

When an emergency call is in progress automatic thermal shutdown is deferred. See also Section 3.5.5.

Due to temperature measurement uncertainty, a tolerance of ±3°C on these switching thresholds may occur.

If the terminal board temperature rises close to the limit specified for normal operation, while data is transmitted over GPRS, the module automatically reverts from GPRS Multislot Class 1 0 (2Tx slots) to GPRS Multislot Class 8 (1Tx). This reduces the power consumption and, consequently, causes the board’s temperature to decrease. Once the temperature drops by 5 degrees, the module returns to the higher Multislot Class.
