VII Regulatory Requirements

Investigate and Obtain Regulatory Approval

Most countries where the final product will be sold currently require approval from the local government regulatory body. It is your responsibility to investigate and obtain the proper regulatory approval and certification for each country in which the product is sold. Motorola can provide the contact names and phone numbers of the regulatory bodies in each country.

You are required to obtain regulatory approval of products that integrate a d15 integrated wireless modem. The specific details for achieving regulatory approval vary from country to country. Worldwide, government regulatory requirements for products that incorporate fixed, mobile, and portable radio transmitters. To this end, Motorola provides d15 modems as certified in specific regional markets to levels of compliance appropriate for an integrated device. Approvals are required for two interrelated reasons: to guard public safety and to ensure electrical non-interference UL, CSA, and other safety approvals are not required, except that AUSTEL safety approval in Australia is required of network operators. This means, in Australia the network operators might pass AUSTEL safety requirements through to the device integrators.

agencies for communications have established standards and

VIII Full-Product Certification

As the integrator, you must determine what additional specific regulatory requirements are required of the country in which your product is marketed. This means that your product must be individually certified, even though the d15 modems are already approved. The certification process includes submittal of prototype products and acceptable test results.

Be prepared for the certification process for your product to take from a few weeks to several months. Its duration can be affected by safety requirements, the type of product, and the country in which you are seeking approval.

IX Country Requirements

These country requirements are provided as a general orientation to the certification processes in specific regions and countries. You are strongly encouraged to use the services of a consultant or a full-service test house if you have limited expertise in meeting the regulatory requirements of a specific country.

X Countries of the European Union and EFTA

Since April 8th 2000 radio and telecommunication equipment are regulated under directive 1999/5/EC of the European Union. This directive is referred to as the RTTED. For equipment within its scope the RTTED supersedes the Telecommunication Terminal Equipment directive (TTE 98/13/EC), the Electromagnetic Compability Directive (EMC 89/336/EC) and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 73/23/EC).

The RTTED and important information about it is published by the European Commision under wed address:

http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/rtte/infor.htm

The requirements of the RTTED are given in article 3:

- Health and Safety in Article 3.1(a),

- EMC in Article 3.1 (b),

- Radio in Article 3.2,

- Optional requirements in article 3.3.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 10 of 181

Page 11

The harmonised standards used for the d15 to demonstrate compliance with the R&TTE directive are:

- EN60950 for Health and Safety,

- ETS 300 342 –1 for EMC in Article 3.1 (b),

- CTR 19 and 31as relevant parts of TBR 19 and TBR 31 for Radio,.

- No optional requirements are applicable to GSM terminal equipment.

The implication of the RTTED is that integrators of the d15 will need to raise their own Declaration of Conformity under the RTTED using Annex III, IV or V.

Motorola recommends integrators of the d15 to document their compliance activities in a technical constrution file Under the following circumstances the Motorola test report for the d15 can be used to demonstrate compliance with article 3.2 of the RTTED:

- The d15 must be operated at the voltages described in the technical documentation.

- The d15 must not be mechanically or electrically changed.

- Usage of connectors should follow the guidance of the technical documentation.

A Declaration of Conformity and test reports for the d15 will be available upon request from Motorola. Requests should be made to your contact person within Motorola

Care should be taken as a product might fall under the scope of other directives or standards depending on the type of product.

The d15 is not approved under the Automotive directive (95/54/EC) as it cannot be connected directly to the power supply or other systems of a vehicle without having additional electronic interfacing.

XI North American GSM type certification

The d15 complies with the requirements of PCS 1900 Type Certification scheme as setup by the PCS 1900 Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB) and is listed as PCS 1900 Type Certified product. This certification will be invalidated if the following conditions are not met:

- The d15 must be operated at the voltages described in the technical documentation.

- The d15 must not be mechanically or electrically changed.

- Usage of connectors should follow the guidance of the technical documentation.

- Handsets or external card readers must be certified.

XII United States of America

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires application for certification of digital devices in accordance with CFR Title 47, Part 2 and Part 15. This includes Electromagnetic Energy Exposure (EME) testing. As the d15 modem is not a stand alone transceiver but is an integrated module, the d15 can not be tested by itself for EME certification. It is, however, your responsibility to have your completed device tested for EME certification

XIII Canada

This class B device also complies with all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations (ICES-003).

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 11 of 181

Page 12

XIV Regulatory Statement

The following regulatory statement for the E.E.A applies to the d15 type MG1-4F21 only:

1. The d15 must be operated at the voltages described in the technical documentation.

2. The d15 must not be mechanically nor electrically changed. Usage of connectors should follow the

guidance of the technical documentation. The d15 is type approved under CTR 5 ed.2 and CTR 9 ed.2. Using different external card readers or handsets other than those approved by Motorola will invalidate the type approval and require retesting and reapproval by the British Approval Board – Telecommunications (BABT). Such testing can only be carried out with prior approval of Motorola. It must be noted that CTR 5 ed.2 and CTR 9 ed.2 are expected to be repealed by October 24th. 1998, but changes approved prior to that date can be marketed after October 24.

3. The d15 has been designed the meet the EMC requirements of ETS 300 342.

4. When integrating the d15 into a system, Motorola recommends testing the system to ETS300342-1.

5. The d15 meets the safety requirements of EN60950.

6. Systems using the d15 will be subject to mandatory EMC testing under directive 89/336/EEC and

only optional (see 3.) GSM type approval testing under directive 98/13/EEC. Other directives like the LVD directive 73/23/EEC might also be applicable to a system using d15.

7. The d15 is type approved at BABT. Changes subject to type approval should be communicated to

Motorola and BABT, and are not subject for discussion with other Notified Bodies.

The above statement has been made on the basis of Motorola long experience in GSM type approvals for the E.E.A. and reviews with BABT of the UK. Motorola recommends that integrators of the d15 consult Motorola in the design phase to clarify any regulatory questions.

XVI Safety

User Operation

Do not operate your telephone when a person is within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna. A person or object within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.

IMPORTANT: The telephone must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance of 20 cm or more between the antenna and persons to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices.

IMPORTANT: To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and satisfy the categorical exclusion requirements for mobile transmitters, the following requirements must be met

Antenna Installation

1. A minimum separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna and all persons.

2. The transmitter effective radiated power must be less than 3.0 Watts ERP (4.9 Watts or 36.9 dBm EIRP).

This requires that the combination of antenna gain and feed line loss does not exceed 16 dBi.

1.2 Plan the Product and Create the Design

To plan the product and create the design, perform the following steps:

• Develop a usage model.

• Develop a message model.

• Define a service strategy.

• Investigate and obtain regulatory approval.

1.2.1 Develop a Usage Model

The usage model answers the question, “How will the end product be used (portable or mobile; eight hours, seven days a week; and so on)?”

Perhaps the most important enabler of success is a clear determination of how the final product is to be used. This steers the development process, because all design considerations drive toward meeting the needs of the final user. For example, design issues related to a mobile device, such as alternator noise and vibration, are completely different from considerations required for a fixedpoint telemetry application powered by a solar panel. Defining what is and what is not important to the end user helps to make the critical engineering trade-off decisions that are inevitable in every product design.

It is your responsibility to develop the usage model. Motorola is available to provide assistance and answer questions, but is not directly involved in this phase of the project.

1.2.2 Develop a Message Model

The message model defines how many messages are sent/received and how often. To create the message model, determine how much and how often data will be sent in each of the uplink (terminal to network) and downlink (network to terminal) directions.

Answer the question, “Is there a requirement for the terminal to be on and able to receive eight hours a day, or does the user turn the unit on only when making a query to the host system?” The answer has a direct bearing on the battery size and capacity requirement for powering the device. The amount of data sent and received is relevant in calculating the cost of air time and deciding on which type of network connection to use. In short, the message model is required source data for making many engineering design decisions, especially in calculating such values as sleep time versus wake time and in determining battery capacity requirements.

You are responsible for developing the message model. (For more information, see “Message Traffic Model” on page27.) The typical approach to creating the model is to define the peak and average network throughput requirements based on input from the user. Motorola is available to provide current consumption figures for each of the various modes of operation (receive and transmit, for example).

The network throughput of the host device depends on many factors in addition to the raw throughput of the radio channel. For example, in addition to the overhead involved in forward error correction and support for packet headers, the number of active users on the network can directly affect network throughput.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 14 of 181

Page 15

1.2.3 Define a Service Strategy

The service strategy determines whether the integrated modem is the cause of a user’s problem and sets a policy for keeping the end user operational during repair. The service strategy must consider all potential service situations and evaluate them in light of the usage model. You can create the service strategy jointly with Motorola. Contact your Motorola OEM sales representative for details.

To ensure that a final product can be efficiently serviced, it is recommended you design for serviceability early in the R and D process. At a minimum, you could develop a functional service strategy that contains a well considered procedure for performing unit-level screening. The test may primarily determine whether a fault lies with the modem or with the product. The test must also screen for network problems and human error.

Motorola has an evaluation board (a standalone test fixture). The evaluation board provides a mounting platform and electrical interface to the modem. Testing is performed much more efficiently while the modem is being integrated within the OEM host, whether for a factory endof-line test or while at the user’s site. (See Annex E)

For your product to allow integrated testing of the modem, you may decide to provide a modem pass-through mode.

A thoroughly-developed OEM serviceability plan typically includes a needs assessment for developing software utilities that can assist in identifying communication problems between the product and the modem and between the modem and the RF network.

These utilities must be able to send commands to the modem, evaluate the modem responses, perform network connectivity testing, and verify data communication with the network. Such a software utility is essential for field service engineers and shop technicians to diagnose problems with the product and to troubleshoot a problem to a failed assembly or mismanaged communication link.

1.2.4 Customer Problem Isolation

When customer problems are reported from the field, you must isolate the source of the problem remotely. You will need to determine what piece of the over all system is not functioning correctly. The following need to be considered as source of the problem:

1. Network

2. d15 wireless modem

3. Host product

Often it is a user’s misunderstanding of how to use the product. Regardless, remote troubleshooting is essential to reducing the number of returned products and lowering service costs, particularly if the host must be disassembled for removal of the modem. Motorola recommends that your product application (both at the terminal and host ends) incorporate sufficient problem diagnostic software to determine the cause of the problem remotely. Often, the best approach is to incorporate progressively deeper loopback tests to determine the point at which the communication link fails. As stated elsewhere, you need to make this remote diagnostic functionality be part of your standard software load.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 15 of 181

Page 16

1.3 Develop and Validate the Hardware

To develop and validate the hardware, perform the following steps:

• Design the hardware platform

• Consider power supply options

• Select the source antenna

• Set up a development test environment

1.3.1 Design the Hardware Platform

Integrating a wireless modem into a hardware design requires many steps. Here again, the usage and message models are necessary to calculate issues such as battery size, heat dissipation, isolation from EMI, and physical mounting of the unit to ensure proper grounding. See “Design Considerations” Chapter 3

Hardware design is your responsibility. Motorola can provide recommendations where applicable. Motorola also provides a one-time verification of EMI-caused desense with the modem integrated into the host. To clarify, the host device can introduce electromagnetic interference which will interfere with the performance of the modem. This EMI can be conducted into the modem via the serial and power lines, or radiated into the antenna and antenna cable. It is your task to minimize the generation of EMI by your device so that the modem’s RF performance is minimally effected. Contact your Motorola OEM representative for details.

1.3.2 Consider Power Supply Options

Power supply requirements vary according to the usage and message models. Beyond accounting for the current drain of the modem in its various operating modes , consider ripple and noise on the power lines and the ability to supply sufficient instantaneous current to allow proper operation of the transmitter. Also, ensure that your power supply can accommodate the highest power consumption for the d15 modem that you want to integrate.

Together, these requirements define the type and size of power supply (for example, linear versus switched) to use with the wireless modem. These issues are discussed in more detail see “design considerations” Chapter 3

1.3.3 Select the Source Antenna

The ERP generated by the antenna peak must meet the requirements of the various network operators: 3.16 watts ERP. Consider these network requirements when you select an antenna system. See “Antennas” in Chapter 3. You are responsible for selecting a suitable antenna and submitting the final product to the network operator for certification. Motorola is available for consultation and to provide contact information for suitable antenna vendors.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 16 of 181

Page 17

1.3.4 Set Up a Development Test Environment

A number of development test aids are available to assist in hardware and applications development. Motorola makes the modem hardware and an evaluation board available for purchase, The evaluation board is a specially developed circuit board with test points and jumper switches. The evaluation board allows for maximum flexibility in accessing and controlling connections into and out of the modem. Motorola also provides various software utilities that can help in performing development tests. See “Testing” in 6 ? Supplementing the test environment supported by Motorola, the network operator sometimes provides a live development network, one separate from the production network on which you can develop and test your application. You must negotiate directly with the network operator for airtime and for building and maintaining a development test environment at their facility

1.4 Develop Supporting Applications Software

To develop supporting applications software, perform the following steps:

• Select a communications model

• Develop end-to-end applications software

1.5 Test and Approve the Product

To test and approve the product, perform the following steps:

• Perform EMI and desense testing (refer to Annex G p.170)

• Set up a final test environment

• Install and field test the product

1.5.1 Set Up a Final Test Environment

To ensure proper assembly of the final product (antenna properly connected, serial port operational, and so on), perform an end-to-end test that proves the final product can receive and transmit at the required signal levels. In locations where the final assembly test is performed within network coverage area, this test is relatively simple. But in locations where network coverage is not available, or for products to be shipped to another country, it is necessary to test by secondary means.

The final assembly test must verify that all connections to the modem are made correctly. Testing on a network is not required.

1.5.2 Install and Field Test the Product

When the product is shipped to a site, it is installed or mounted in a particular location, one that might restrict RF communications. The service question is whether the behaviour of a dysfunctional product is caused by poor coverage or a network service provider is down. To guarantee that the modem is located in an area of good coverage and that an end-to-end loopback message is possible, your product needs a software application to perform the test.

Your most effective approach to field testing is to include an installation test procedure as part of your standard software load. Motorola can recommend specific network information that you can obtain from the modem describing how to implement an end-to-end loopback test. See “Testing” chapter 6 ?

1.6 Resource Assistance

Developing and testing a wireless integrated product requires a well equipped development lab and access to resources and outside information. Table1, “Parts and Tools Requirements,” below identifies required development and service tools. Additional topics note where the tools are available and how to get further assistance.

1.6.1 Integration Engineering Support

Questions on this manual and the integration process can be handled by the integration engineering teams located in Europe and North America. Send email to: GSM support-BSG041@email.mot.com , with your name, phone number, company name, description of the project and your question and an engineer will be assigned to your project. The engineer will then contact you by phone or by email to assist you in resolving your issue.

GSM Specifications Refer to the Reference Documents Section www.etsi.org

Host Evaluation Board kit P/N S9002

1.7 Environmental Issues

d15 Integrated Wireless Modems are designed for a combination of easy serviceability and general ruggedness. These integrated modems are designed to be housed in an OEM host product. The modem is tested to conform to the environmental levels (for example, industrial use specifications and PC card standards) that meet the intended applications of most integrators. If you need additional ruggedness and safety in your products, you must engineer the environmental characteristics of your host product to achieve a special safety rating.

1.7.1 General Precautions

Follow these precautions when you work with wireless modems.

• Minimize handling of static sensitive modules and components.

• Wear a grounded anti-static wrist strap while handling static-sensitive components.

• Do not bend or stress the modem in any way.

• Reinsert connectors straight and evenly to avoid causing short and open circuits.

1.7.2 ESD Handling Precautions

Any electronics device contains components sensitive to ESD (electrostatic discharge). For example, people experience up to 35 kV ESD, typically while walking on a carpet in low humidity environments. In the same manner, many electronic components can be damaged by less than 1000 volts of ESD. For this reason, you must observe the following handling precautions when servicing this equipment:

• Always wear a conductive wrist strap.

• Eliminate static generators (plastics, styrofoam, and so on) in the work area.

• Remove nylon or polyester jackets, roll up long sleeves, and remove or tie back loose

hanging neckties, jewellery, and long hair.

• Store and transport all static sensitive components in ESD protective containers.

• Disconnect all power from the unit before ESD sensitive components are removed or

inserted, unless noted.

• Use a static safeguarded workstation, which can be set up by using an anti-static kit (Motorola part number 0180386A82). This kit includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a static control table mat, and a static control floor mat.

The Motorola part number for a replacement wrist strap that connects to the tablemat is 4280385A59.

• When anti-static facilities are unavailable, use the following technique to minimize the chance of damaging the equipment:

• Let the static sensitive component rest on a conductive surface when you are not holding it.

• When setting down or picking up the static sensitive component, make skin contact with a

conductive work surface first and maintain this contact while handling the component.

• If possible, maintain relative humidity of 70-75% in development labs and service shops.

CHAPTER 2 Model Description

This section describes the d15 integrated wireless modem (Figure2), including accessories, physical and electrical characteristics, features and functional capabilities, and the data-exchange network over which they communicate. This section also provides specific performance specifications.

For model numbers and languages supported see Annex A

Figure 2 - d15 data module

2.1 Introduction

The d15 modem is a Phase II + GSM class 4 embedded module package with voice, data, fax, and short message service (SMS) support. It is designed to support a range of subsidiary services associated with navigation, emergency services, road tolls, security systems such as car alarm, fire alarm, etc. as well as integrated standard voice and data communication. Applications where data modules can provide these benefits include automotive Telematics, mobile computing, asset management, remote utility meter reading, street light control, home security, vending and copy machine management, fleet management, ATM security, POS connectivity, household appliance monitoring and control, display systems, load management and many more. To support this flexibility, the same functionality is offered in several different configurations. GPS capability is also provided in an additional configuration. The modem relies on system software for basic operational instructions and on configuration parameter values to meet modem and network interface requirements.

The d15 is designed for use in a system environment comprising a GSM mobile radio network with one or more radio operators per country. A corresponding infrastructure of a configuration level suitable for the use of terminal devices with two watts transmitting power is a basic requirement.

2.2 D10 compatibility with d15

The d15 has new capabilities over the d10 e.g. GPS option. The d10 utilized a modem that was controlled by a separate microprocessor while the d15 modem is integral to GSM microprocessor. Because of these basic difference in the two products there are some known differences between the d10 and d15 in hardware and software that the integrator needs to be aware to complete the interface to the host device. A summary of these differences is listed in table 1 below to assist in the successful upgrade from d10 to d15 product. Note this list in not the full list of AT commands for the d15 product.

CHAPTER 3 Design Considerations

When integrating a wireless modem, internal connections and placements are critical to a successful implementation. Specific attention must be paid to the following support mechanisms:

• DC power

• Audio considerations.

• Serial interface and control

• SIM card considerations

• ESD considerations

• Antenna Considerations

• Mechanical mounting

• Differences between D10 to D15

• Desense control (see “Desense” on Annex G)

• How to connect a 3788 handset to D15

• GPS Considerations.

3.1 Power supply consideration.

3.1.1 Power Supply losses.

The D15 is specified to operate from 3.0V to 6.0V on the D15 input (after the flat cable losses). In order to be able to work in the lowest battery values it is important to verify the losses in the power supplies lines, Flat cable and in the user PCB. The D15 is a GSM phone that transmits in pulses of about 0.5mS every 4.6mS. The Peak current is about 1.5A.

The VCC line will drop down in the TX periods:

Transmit Periods

TX TX TX

VCC

Figure 8 – The VCC signal during TX periods

In order to minimise the ∆ it is recommended to use a short Flat cable as possible and to put a 1000uF capacitor (or maximum possible) in the D15 VCC input.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 26 of 181

Page 27

3.1.2 Current consumption in D15

In order to design the power supply correctly you need to take in account the current consumption of the D15 in the different modes.

Table 3 – d15 Current consumption

Mode Current consumption

D15 with no accessory when no call is in process (Sleep Mode)

D15 with no accessory but TS is ON < 50mA. D15 during searching time <180mA typical average 80mA.

<11mA Typical 10mA.

D15 with DSC bus accessory(like Handset) when no call is in process

D15 during a call in maximum power level <1.5A Peak, Average 300mA. D15 during a call in GSM power level #10 (for

Example)

Typical 45 mA.

<0.7A Peak, Average 175mA

3.1.2.1 Turn On/Off the unit

The D15 is powered from a single power supply in the range of 3.0 to 6.0 Vdc. The unit will not power up automatically by connecting the power and there are two ways to turn the unit On.

3.1.2.2 Turn On/Off the unit using the ON/OFF pin.

The On/Off pin (pin # 14 at the ZIF connector & pin # 18 at the DIN connector) is used as a toggle input to turn On and Off the unit. Any drop to ground in this pin will change the status. To verify that the unit is On or Off you have to check the DSC_EN line, If it is high the unit is On If it is low the unit is Off. The timing for this process is the follow:

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 27 of 181

Page 28

Figure 9: Turn On the unit using the ON/OFF pin

Figure 10: Turn On and Off the unit using the ON/OFF pin

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 28 of 181

Page 29

3.1.2.3 Turn On the unit using the TS pin.

The main used of the TS line is for units connected to a mobile device in which the current consumption is not the main concern. The TS line is used to turn On the unit. This line can’t turn Off the unit. When this line is rise up it will turn On the unit. This line is used for example to turn On the unit when power is connected to the unit. (Like Ignition line in a car kit). Be aware that if you keep this line high all the time the unit will not go to Sleep mode (current save mode), So it is recommended to turn On the unit and than drop this line.

Figure 11: Turn On the unit using the TS line

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 29 of 181

Page 30

3.1.3 How / When to make the unit to wakeup

If the D15 has no accessories, the unit is camped and command ATS24=1 was used the D15 will go to a "sleep mode" (current save mode). In Sleep mode the radio is switched to minimum activity. The clock is removed from the RF section and it reduced from 13MHz to 32KHz in the Logic section. The unit is sensing the activity by going out of this mode in a periodic sequence. In any case of an incoming call the unit will go out of Sleep mode. During sleep mode period the RS232 is not responding to any command from the DTE device (Uart is disabled). In order to wake up the unit, the host needs to communicate with the d15 as follow:

perform the following sequence via the TXD line:

Send "AT" , "CR" or Any other string. (this massage will be lost)

Wait 30mS

Use the Data port for the Application period.

Send "ATS24=n “ when 1<n<255 in order to go back to sleep mode.

" n " determines the period of time (Approx. in Seconds) till the D15 enter sleep mode after executing the command.

NOTE: If "ATS24=n" will not be inserted after use of the RS232 port, The radio will not

go to sleep mode.

3.2 Audio circuits consideration.

The D15 is able to make a voice call as well as Data calls. In voice calls the audio can be routed in a few channels: Digital audio channel - Audio is sent via the DSC bus. Analog audio channel - Drive externally to audio devices. Analog audio channel in Hands free mode - D15 send the audio out with the Echo cancelling ON in the DSP, External drivers is required.

3.2.1 Digital audio.

In case of digital audio channel a DSC drives is in used. The consideration that should be taken in this case is to be aware of the present of the hook switch. The hook switch will distinguish if the handset is In/Out of use. There are two DSC bus accessories for audio defined for the D15:

1. External Handset.

2. DHFA - Car Kit for Hands Free.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 30 of 181

Page 31

3.2.2 Analog Audio without Hands free.

The D15 will drive the audio out/in in order to allow a voice call. In order to connect a Headset it is needed to amplify the speaker and microphone channels, An example for these drivers can be seen in Annex C EV board.

Other point to be taken in consideration is the Buzz noise existing in GSM phones due to the transmission rate (217Hz). In order to minimise this noise the D15 have a separate ground for the analog circuits.

The main problem causing the Buzz is drops in the Ground line because the peak current during TX mode. In order to minimize the Buzz the following acts should be done:

− Use short Flat cable.

− Connect the analog ground from the D15 to all the analog circuits in the customer application

without connecting them to the power supply ground.

− all the capacitors to ground in the audio circuits should be connected to the analog ground.

− Any reference voltage that may be used should have the external capacitor connected to the

analog ground.

− The maximal audio In/Out levels from/To the D15 can be seen below.

3.2.4 Analog audio with hands free

The audio In/Out from the D15 for analog Hands free is the same as for non-Hands free. All the consideration from Paragraph 3.2.2 is applicable for this mode too. The additional consideration in this case is to switch the D15 DSP to Echo cancelling mode. In order to switch to hands free mode use the RS232 port by sending a switch command at the start up. ATS96=1 Echo canceller is activate. (Hands free) ATS96=0 Echo canceller is disabled. (Headset - Default) But during an active call the echo canceller can be activate but not disabled.

3.3 Data port considerations.

3.3.1 Data levels.

The D15 is a DCE device operating in 0 to 5V logic. An MC74VHCT244 buffer buffers all the In/Out signals. DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD lines are "1" (active) in 0V and "0" (inactive) in 5V. RXD, TXD lines are "1" in 0V and "0" in 5V. The signal thresholds are: Vih 2.0V min. Vil 0.8V max. Voh 4.4V min. @ 50uA or 3.8V min. @ 8mA. Vol 0.1 max. @ 50uA or 0.44V @ 8mA.

There are two modes to use the Data port:

− SoftGsm mode. This mode is for computer application in which an application SW “SoftGSM” is use. This allowed the D15 to work with V42.bis (data compression), transfer fax and SMS. In this mode Transparent data is available. In this mode Voice calls via AT commands are not available.

− RS232 full flow control. This is the default setting for the D15. In this mode we can transfer data and SMS using a full flow control (HW flow control), Xon/Xoff or non flow control. There is no FAX capability in this mode. In this mode Non transparent data is available and voice calls using AT commands are available.

3.3.2 Select the data mode:

The D15 can support two different modes of operation: SoftGsm - For PC applications. RS232 full flow control - General applications. The RS232 is the default mode and no action is needed to switch to this mode. The SoftGsm require hardware connection to two lines.

Down link pin should be connected via 22KOhm to ground. DSC_EN pin should be connected via 22KOhm to ground.

3.3.3 DTR line.

The DTR line must to be active (0V) in order to recognize the DTE by the D15. If the DTR is not used by the application connect this line to ground (DTR Active).

3.4 SIM lines consideration.

3.4.1 SIM Card Support

The d15 module has a built-in SIM card reader within the module itself. The SIM card is inserted into the slot provided on the side of the sheet plastic cover. When inserted to the correct depth the card should be flush with the cover. To extract the card, insert a non-conductive tuning tool into the slot on the top of the unit at the back end of the card, and then push the card out of the slot so that it can be removed by hand.

For some installations, this built-in slot will not be accessible, so an external card reader is needed. If a digital handset is going to be used, the card reader can be part of the handset and is connected to the modem via the DSC interface. Other installations require that the SIM card slot is installed into the OEM device and circuitry is installed to connect the card reader to the d15.

The SIM card interface contains six lines plus 2 lines for presence detect, which are lines 1 and 2 as shown in figure 20.

External SIM -

The user can connect the SIM externally.

IMPORTANT !!

In case of externally connection the customer concern should be for Full Type Approval that may require submission for testing in case that the SIM lines will be longer than 10cm. Support 3/5V cards.

Remote SIM - This is a standard connection. The SIM is connected to an external SIM socket

connected to the radio via the DSC bus. Two accessories are existing - M3788 handset and external SIM card reader. Support 5V card only.

The SIM lines are routed in parallel to the SIM socket and to the user connector.

3.5 ESD consideration

In general the ESD is very well protected using ceramic capacitors of 0.1uF or higher.

§ For all the static lines - power, SIM PD, SIM VCC, ... the capacitor will protect against ESD. The protection was done inside the D15, but it is recommended to add protection in the user PCB, especially if the flat cable is long.

§ For lines with high rate of signals it is recommended to use Transguard with low capacitance. There are Transguard of 3pF or less.

§ It is recommended to ground the antenna ground contact and the power supply ground contact in order to prevent ESD to go inside the D15 or user equipment.

3.6 Antennas

The antenna must be mounted like any other cellular or land mobile radio antenna. The best position for the antenna is usually the center of the vehicle roof, which provides a good fairly symmetric ground plane on metal cars. For vehicles that are fabricated of non-metallic material such as fiberglass, mount the antenna where it won’t be obstructed by items such as mirrors.

3.6.1 Antenna Systems

Use this information to assist you in selecting the appropriate antenna to incorporate into your product package. For specific detailed information, Motorola recommends that you use the expertise of an antenna design engineer to solve individual application concerns.

3.6.2 Antenna Safety

The following statement from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specifies the safety criteria that integrators must use when designing the antenna for a product integrating the D15modem. “The design of the integrated product must be such that the location used and other particulars of the antenna comply with the then current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Guidelines concerning Radio frequency Energy Exposure and with any other nationally recognized radio frequency standards that may be applicable thereto. “

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 38 of 181

Page 39

3.6.2.1 User Operation

Do not operate your telephone when a person is within 8 inches (20 centimetres) of the antenna. A person or object within 8 inches (20 centimetres) of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.

CAUTION ! The telephone must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum

separation distance of 20 cm or more between the antenna and persons to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices

NOTE: To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and satisfy the

categorical exclusion requirements for mobile transmitters, the following requirements must be met: A mini mum separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna and all persons. The transmitter effective radiated power must be less than 3.0 Watts ERP (4.9 Watts or 36.9 dBm EIRP). This requires that the combination of antenna gain and feed line loss does not exceed 16 dBi.

3.6.3 Antenna Performance

Antenna network requirements are usually set by the network operator.

3.6.4 Portable Devices

In the environment where portable devices are in use, many variables exist that can affect the transmission path. In this case, it is preferable to use a vertically-polarized, omni directional antenna. Antennas for portable devices include the following designs:

3.6.4.1 Internal antenna (invisible or pull-up)

This is the most difficult antenna design scenario. Despite greater physical constraints, an internal antenna must still provide a gain sufficient to meet network specifications. Metal cased products can not have internal antennae as the metal acts as a shield around the antenna and prevents RF signals from reaching the antenna. I.E. A metal case acts like a Faraday cage. The antenna should be positioned so that it is vertically oriented when the device is carried normally. This will ensure that the best antenna performance is available most of the time. Cable routing from the modem to the antenna needs to avoid RF-sensitive circuits and high-level, high-speed clock circuits. Consider these items:

• The location of the antenna to avoid RFI to a computing device

• Good shielding to the display and other RF-sensitive components

• The most efficient method of cable routing

Otherwise, antenna gain can be offset by cable loss. A typical coaxial cable is very thin, such as RG178B used in portable devices, and cable loss can be as high as 0.5 dB per foot. Some coaxial cable manufacturers market relatively thin double-braid coaxial cables. These cables show much better isolation than single-braid cables, typically by 30 to 40 dB. These double-braid cables reduce radiation and RF pick-up when routed inside a portable device.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 39 of 181

Page 40

3.6.4.2 External antenna, removable and directly connected to the device

You can design a portable device that can use an off-the-shelf, plug-in antenna, such as a 1/4 wave monopole or 1/2 wave dipole antenna. Typical gain of these omni directional antennas is 0 dBi and 2.14 dBi, respectively. Like the internal antenna, these antennae should be oriented vertically when the device is normally carried to ensure the best antenna performance. Cabling demands the same consideration as an internal antenna application. In a typical laptop application, the antenna must be placed as far as possible from the display to avoid deflection. This usually causes a deep null in radiation patterns.

3.6.4.3 External, remote antenna

For remote antenna application use the same design approach as internal designs, including the RF cable routing of the external connector. You can choose an off-theoff the shelf mobile antenna of omni directional 1/2 wave length. The antenna has

2.14 dBi of gain. Higher gain than that might not be appropriate for portable applications. A double-braid coaxial cable such as RG223 from the device to the antenna is recommended if the cable length is more than a few feet. The difference in cable loss between low-cost RG58 cable and the more expensive RG223 cable is approximately

4.5 dB per 100 feet. If the cable must be routed through noisy EMI/RFI environments, a double-braid cable such as RG223 can reduce radiation and pick-up by 30 to 40 dB.

3.6.5 Fixed Devices

Fixed data device applications use the same design recommendations as a portable device with a remote antenna. As for the RF connector of an external antenna, whether it is a plug-in type or a remote type, the most economical and practical choice is a TNC threaded connector. TNC has a good frequency response to 7 GHz, and leakage is low. A mini UHF threaded connector provides adequate performance and is an economical choice. If the size of the TNC and mini UHF connectors becomes critical, consider an SMA threaded connector or an SMB snap fit connector. (The SMB connector does not accept RG58 or RG223 cables).

3.6.6 Antenna Test Methods

Whether portable or fixed, the device antenna is the critical link to the network. A poor performing antenna reduces the coverage of the device within the network footprint. The antenna performance must meet the impedance and match the criteria of the modem (see the modem specification), and have the appropriate amount of gain to meet the network ERP requirements. Two tests must be performed on the antenna to ensure that it meets requirements. For both tests the antenna must be integrated in its final form. That is, the antenna must be mounted on a representative housing that includes all metal objects forming the ground plane or counterpoise. Antenna testing requires an experienced operator and an anechoic chamber, a GTEM cell, or approved open field site. Your Motorola OEM support representative can provide advice on this type of testing.

3.8 Mechanics

Mounting the D15

3.8.1 Fixed-Mount Usage

Fixed-mount usage eliminates most of the mechanical constraints of handheld designs, although the requirements still apply. Fixed-mount units are sometimes AC-line powered and require filtering to eliminate the 60 Hz noise that can impair modem operation. Proper mounting of the modem requires secure fastening of it within the host housing. To ensure ease of access for installation and troubleshooting, locate the modem within the product in such a way that serial I/O and antenna connections are readily accessible. Quick access to the modem allows it to be efficiently removed, probed, and functionally tested.

3.8.2 Fastening units with housing

Mount the modem to the rigid OEM product housing, using four #2-56 UNC 2A machine screws torqued to 2 in.-lbs. Position the screws as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

3.8.3 Fastening DIN units

Secure the DIN board to the host device using three M1.8 screws.

CAUTION ! Do not mount a d15 integrated wireless modem in PC Card Type III rails.

Forcing the modem into a PC Card header can damage the connector pins in the header and leave the modem loose and poorly grounded.

CHAPTER 4 Software Interface

The operating functions of the d15 modem are implemented in the base unit in which the d15 is integrated. The d15 is a GSM900/1800/1900 Phase II+ device.

The corresponding functions are implemented conforming V.25ter, GSM07.07, and GSM07.05. Note that the standards bodies regularly update these standards and so it can not be promised that the commands supported by the d15 exactly conform to the latest versions of that specification. Some commands listed in these standards do not apply in the GSM environment. AT+C commands conforming to GSM07.07 and GSM07.05 and a number of manufacturers-specific AT commands are available via the serial interface of the d15 for the implementation of the functionality.

Command input is via the operating functions of the base unit. The base unit translates the operating functions into AT commands and the d15 executes the requested action. The modem guidelines V.25ter is applicable in regards to the time sequence of interference commands. In accordance with this guideline, commands start with the string are acknowledged with subsequent incoming character, so the next command must not be sent until the acknowledgment has been received that command has been processed. Otherwise the current command will be cancelled.

OK or ERROR. A command currently being processed will be interrupted by each

4.1 Modem Communication Modes

The d15 modem supports the following communications modes:

4.2 Voice Communications

Analog Audio - Audio communications via a standard analog headset such as the headset used with the StarTAC cellular phone. In this case the controls for answering calls, dialling, and hanging up are provided by the AT command set interface. This mode would be used if the modem is being integrated into a handheld terminal that will support voice communications.

Digital Audio - Digital audio is provided by the Motorola Proprietary DSC interface. This is used when an external handset such as would be used in an automotive installation is used. In this case, the call controls are provided on the handset. DSC handsets that support this interface are manufactured by and available from Motorola. The AT command set can also be used to control calls. The DSC interface is a Motorola proprietary feature that requires licensing from Motorola. Please contact your Motorola representative for more information.

• Sidetone - When sidetones are enabled, an attenuated (reduced) version of the microphone

audio input is routed to the selected speaker. This is so that the people speaking will hear themselves talking. This also creates a slight echo because the speaker sound then gets picked up again by the mic and again output to the speaker, etc. Echo suppress is designed to take care of this echo.

• Echo Suppress - Cancel a little of the output sound picked up by the input device (suppress

the echo). It is designed to be used where there will be little to no echo (e.g. in a handset) rather that where there will be much echo (e.g. in a handsfree device).

• Echo Cancel - Suppress a lot of the output sound picked up by the input device (cancel all

echo).

• Noise Suppress - An audio control that improves audio quality in all modes.

Connectivity via RS232 TXD/ RXD/ RTS/ DTR lines. Transparent - V42 bis. SMS PDU mode. Fax - class 1 & Class 2.

From its conception in the mid-1980s, the GSM network standard was designed to allow computer data to be exchanged in addition to normal speech at a maximum data speed of 14,400bps. Because modems today operate at 33,600bps, Motorola Communicate Ltd. developed DDFTM (Digital Data Fast), a technique that combines an industry-standard error-correction protocol with two compression algorithms (V.42bis and MNP5) to provide data transfer rates up to 33,600bps over a fixed 9,600bps channel. GSM offers two modes for data transmission: transparent mode and non-transparent mode. The modes differ in how they treat the data as it flows through the network.

• Transparent mode effectively offers an open pipe for the data, where the control is handled only by the transmitting and receiving modems with no intervention from the network. Transparent mode allows the use of DDF compression to produce higher data throughput and reduce call charges. Use transparent mode when the modem is stationary, or when travelling within a good-reception area.

• Non-transparent mode offers a robust data communication link up to a maximum data speed of 9,600bps using a sophisticated error-correcting system called RLP (radio link protocol). Use non-transparent mode when the modem is moving or in areas with bad service reception.

NOTE: Fax Transmissions Cannot Use Non-transparent Mode.

When the D15 is connected to a PC Card, it does not support fixed dialling numbers for Data Calls To change to non-transparent mode, type: Sending a Fax by using SoftGSM ONLY.

4.3.3 SMS Communications

Block Mode — This mode is an older and less efficient operating mode for SMS communications. This is supported by the d15, but it is not recommended, as PDU mode is much easier to work with. Text Mode — This mode is not supported by the d15. PDU Mode — This is the recommended mode for SMS communications. Note that the PDU packet has a complex structure, so careful examination of GSM 04.11 and GSM 03.40 is required.

4.3.4 FAX Communications

Fax is supported in SoftGsm only Class 1 — This is the basic set of FAX commands that is supported by all types of fax machines. Class 2 — This is the extended set of FAX commands.

D15 set to work in RS232 Mode

When the D15 is connected to a terminal and turned on, the following signals are becoming active low: DTR, DSR, CTS and RTS. When a data call is received the RI signal goes active low for one second and then inactive high for four seconds repeatedly.

Figure 24 – RI waveform

After a data carrier has been detected by the D15, he sets the DCD signal active low.

4.5 Sending and Receiving data in different flow controls

4.5.1 Flow control set to hardware Flow Control

4.5.1.1 Sending Data

When data is being sent by the D15, the only dynamic signals through the data transfer are TXD and CTS. The DTE device should keep DTR & RTS ON. TXD is used in order to transmit the data from the terminal to the D15, and CTS is used in order to control the data flow. When data is being transferred too rapidly to the modem, in a rate greater then its transfer rate, and its buffers become full, the modem sets CTS inactive high, until he accomplishes the transfer. When the modem is ready to accept more data, it sets the CTS signal active low again.

4.5.1.2 Receiving Data

When data is being received by the D15, the only dynamic signal during the data transfer is RXD, on which the data is being sent to the terminal. The DTE device should keep DTR ON.

4.5.2.1 Sending Data

When a data is being sent in Xon/Xoff flow control, the data is transferred on the TXD line. The DTE device should keep DTR ON. When the modem receives data in a rate too fast, its buffers are getting full, and he can not handle transmission in this rate, he sends an Xoff signal to the terminal on the RXD line. When the modem sends the data in his buffer and its ready to receive more data, it sends the Xon signal on the RXD line.

NOTE: In the picture above the transfer protocol which was used was Zmodem with crash

recovery, and therefore when an error was encountered the terminal sent an acknowledge to the sending side, asking it to send that block again.

4.5.3 Flow control set to None Flow Control

First the D15 should be configure for Xon / Xoff by: AT&K0 To return to HW flow control use - AT&K3

4.5.3.1 Sending Data

When data is being sent in this mode it is sent on the TXD line, and there is no flow control. The DTE device should keep DTR ON. When the modem can not keep up with the transmission of data from the terminal, an error happens.

4.5.3.2 Receiving Data

Data is being received on the RXD line, which is the only dynamic line, in this receiving mode. The DTE device should keep DTR ON.

Figure 31 – D15 receiving data none

D15 set to work in SoftGsm Mode

When connecting the D15 to a terminal running a SoftGSM application, the only active line is the DTR, which goes active low after starting the application. RTS is used as an on-off switch by the application in order to turn the radio on or off. When sending data, fax or SMS, the data is being transferred on the TXD line, and controlled by the RXD line. When receiving data, fax or SMS, the data is being received on the RXD line, and controlled by the TXD line.

The following ASCII string is the ASCII representation of the hexadecimal values that will be transmitted as a binary string. So, ‘F’’4’ below means that the hex values 0xF and 0x4 will be transmitted over the air. CMGS=19 is the length of the TPDU in octets, see below. Note that the message is terminated with a Control-Z character (0x1A) AT+CMGS=19 >07914483056100F511000B914410927856F40000000541E190F804<CTRL-Z> 07 = LENGTH OF SCA element including the TON/NPI

91 = TON/NPI,TON=9=Type of number, NPI=1=Numbering Plan Identifier

4483056100F5 SCA =SERVICE CENTER ADDRESS

I.E. the real phone number for the SCA is 44-385-016-005

• Explanation of coding of phone numbers. One hex digit for each phone number digit will be used. Each pair of hex digits is considered an octet (8 bit binary number). Then the two hex digits are reversed in order to form a semi-octet. So, The phone digits 3,8 will become 0x3, 0x8, then 0x38, and then reversed to become 0x83. The ASCII characters ‘8’ and ‘3’, ie the string ‘83’ are then inserted into the full ASCII string above. Since there are an odd number of digits, the last digit 5, is placed in the lower nibble of the last octet and then it top nibble is filled with 1’s. So ‘5’ becomes 0x5, then 0x05, then 0xf5, and then ‘f5’, the last two characters in the Service Center address.

Refer to ETSI 04.11 for more detail.

Looking at the rest of the message after the SCA we find the Transport Protocol Data Unit (TPDU) which contains the destination device address (phone number) and the user data or message. There are 38 characters, which represent 19 octets, which is the length of the TPDU.

11000B914410927856F40000000541E190F804 = TPDU 11 = 8 bits MTI,RD,VPF,SRR,UDHI,RP,MMS,SRI 00 = MR Message Reference 0B914410927856F4 = DA Transport Destination Address. 0B = Number of digits (11) in phone number 91=TON/NPI (as above) 4410927856F4 = Destination phone number 44-012-987-654.

Note that the destination phone number is converted to an ASCII string in the same manner as the SCA.

After the phone number is the user data control information and the user data.

0000000541e190f804 00 = PID Protocol ID 00 = DCS Data Coding Scheme 00 = VP Validity Period 05 = UDL User Data Length 41E190F804 = The user data ‘ABCDE’.

The user data is encoded as a GSM characters.

• Description of encoding the user data. The GSM character set is a method of encoding 7 bit ASCII characters into 8 bit numbers. GSM only supports 128 characters with ASCII values 0x00 to 0x7f. Since these only need 7 bits to define them, and the SMS message is transmitted as a series of 8-bit values, GSM uses a method of packing the series of 7 bit values into 8 bit octets. To explain:

ABCDE is encoded as 41E190F804 as follows.

A B C D E

In ASCII hexadecimal is:

0x41 0x42 0x43 0x44 0x45

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 54 of 181

Page 55

In 8 bit binary is:

01000001 01000010 01000011 01000100 01000101

We truncate off the most significant bit, resulting in a series of seven bit values. The process is to pack the now unused most significant bit(s) with enough least significant bits from the following value to fill it up to eight bits.

‘A’ ‘B’ ‘C’ ‘D’ ‘E’

0x41 0x42 0x43 0x44 0x45

1000001 1000010

1000011 1000100 1000101

01000001 11100001 10010000 01011000 00000100

This results in the string of eight-bit hexadecimal numbers 0x41, 0xE1, 0x90, 0x58, 0x04. By continuing this process a string of 160 ASCII characters can be stored as a string of 140 bytes (octets). The Service Center Address is described in ETSI GSM 04.11. The Transport Protocol Data Unit is described in ETS GSM 03.40.

4.7.2 Sending SMS in PDU Mode - Wave Forms

4.7.2.1 Sending SMS in RS232 mode

When sending SMS in PDU mode, after executing the at+cmgs=n command, the DCD line goes active low, and the data is transferred on the TXD line. After executing the <Ctrl+Z> command, the DCD line goes inactive high again, and the message is being sent by the phone.

Once the message has been received, the next step is to decode it into something readable. This particular message is generated by a Rohde and Schwarz CMD55 GSM Test station. Looking at the first line of data we see the information about the service center, followed by the TPDU.

Now looking at the user data.

D2279258049940D321F21A946A4153F45B4E0735CBF379F85C064DCB727B7A5C0651CB73 BA0B44459741D17A7ABC0609E5EFBB1B647CE341CA7A1B3E073DED6539888A2E839861 7D1E447C9F5DA0986C46ABD96EB81C4C01

This is a string of GSM characters, and must translate back to ASCII. The process is the reverse of the coding process described above. This converts them back from a series of octets to a series of 7 bit ASCII numbers. Looking at the first 6 octets:

D2 27 92 58 04 99

0xD2 0x27 0x92 0x58 0x04 0x99

11010010 00100111 10010010 01011000 00000100 10011001

1010010 1001111 1001000 1000100 1000101 0100000

0x52 0x4F 0x48 0x44 0x45 0x20

‘R’ ‘O’ ‘H’ ‘D’ ‘E’ ‘ ‘

This decoding process continues for the entire user data string. Translating the entire string comes up with ROHDE & SCHWARZ THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG.

4.7.2.4 Sending and receiving binary data via SMS.

Your specific application may require sending binary data, instead of an ASCII text message. In this case, you could simply insert your raw data as the user data, instead of using the GSM character coding process. This will limit you to 140 octets of data. As long as your application controls the encoding and decoding of the SMS PDU’s at either end of the solution, you can use the 140 octets of user data as you see fit.

4.7.2.5 Receiving SMS in RS232 mode - Wave Forms

When receiving SMS the message is stored on the SIM card. The following picture shows a reading command being sent on the TXD line, and the message transferred from the SIM card to the terminal.

The following tables are a complete listing of commands as described in ETSI standard 07.05. For each command it is recommended that you use the ? option to query the modem for the particular details of each command. For example, use AT+CR? to get the full details on the +CR command. Block mode is a stand alone mode that makes use of full text commands and responses to send and receive SMS messages. This is an older mode that is provided for compatibility reasons. It is recommended that PDU mode be used instead of block mode. Text mode is not supported by the modem. PDU modem is the preferred method as it is the simplest and easiest to use.

CHAPTER 6 Testing

This section contains a product development checklist of parameters to check, requirements to meet, and standards of performance to evaluate. You can use these process checks and functional test procedures to fully qualify that the d15 Integrated Wireless Modem is well integrated with your host product.

6.1 Introduction

Proper testing throughout the development and integration cycle ensures that the final product works in both normal and exceptional situations. These tests are provided in several stages as follows:

1. Hardware integration

2. Desense and EMI

3. Regulatory compliance

4. Application software

5. Final assembly

6. End user problem resolution

7. OEM service depot repair

6.2 Testing Stages

6.2.1 Hardware Integration

To ensure that the integration effort is carried out properly, monitor all relevant engineering

standards, requirements, and specifications. In addition, perform functional tests during product

development to validate that the integrated package performs as designed.

6.2.2 Enabler Functions

To test the interaction between the modem and host, your product must be able to perform the

following:

• Turn the various hardware components on and off. This capability helps to isolate possible desense and other emissions problems.

• Pass data through the host between the modem and the test platform. This allows external programming and configuration software to communicate with the modem while it is integrated within the host. For microprocessor-based products, pass-through mode uses software emulation involving the host processor, which passes full-duplex serial port data to and from the integrated modem.

6.2.3 Specific Tests

In addition to the various tests that exercise your own circuitry, such as power-on self test), design tests that ensure proper interaction between the modem and host. Ensure that the following hardware integration issues are evaluated

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 78 of 181

Page 79

RF Re-radiation Host does not allow spurious emissions in excess of 60 dBc, as caused

by carrier re-radiation.

6.2.4 Desense and EMI

Any host in which the modem is integrated generates some EMI (electromagnetic interference), which tends to desensitize the modem’s ability to receive at certain frequencies. You should verify that there is no influence from the host equipment to the D15 performance. (See Desense testing in Annex G Page 170).

Motorola can direct you to a facility for testing the amount of desense that your modem experiences while in a host platform. Specifically, modem receiver sensitivity is recorded while operating with the host under test. For this test, you provide an integrated product, including antenna, power supply and any peripherals. Motorola then produces a test graph that reports the amount of desense. If a test fails, Motorola is available to perform additional tests at standard industry rates. All desense testing is performed at Motorola facilities. To prepare for the desense test, provide Motorola with hardware to generate EMI that is representative of the final product, including the cables, power supplies, and other peripheral devices.

6.2.5 Regulatory Compliance

Most countries where the final product will be sold currently require approval from the local government regulatory body. In the US, the FCC requires that two individual requirements be met before the final product can be certified. The first test, the FCC Part 15 qualification, requires you to prove that the product electronics hardware does not yield local radiation capable of affecting other equipment, such as TVs, computer monitors, and so on. The second test (FCC Part 90) requires you to prove when the modem transmits, it remains properly in its allocated channel spacing, and does not produce spikes or splatter in other frequencies. Motorola undergoes FCC testing with the modem integrated into a dummy OEM host to ensure compatibility with these requirements. But since the eventual transmit capability of the modem is highly integrated with the power supply and antenna system of the future host, the fully integrated product must be submitted for final regulatory approval. In addition, regulatory bodies can require the wireless modem to transmit random data patterns on specific frequencies while incorporated in the host platform. The modem incorporates special debug modes to allow this kind of testing, provided the host application can issue the required commands to the modem. The entire regulatory process can take many months to complete and should start early in the development cycle. The exact regulatory requirements of each country change from time to time. For efficient regulatory processing, use the services of specialized regulatory consultants to determine the specific requirements at the time of manufacture. To prepare for regulatory testing, you need to integrate the pass-through mode into the product design (see “Enabler Functions” on page 78). Pass through mode passes the RS-232 levels from an external PC to and from the modem. Motorola provides the ability to key and dekey the radio at the required frequencies and modulation levels from an external PC via the pass-through mode.

For further information about regulatory compliance, refer to “Regulatory Requirements” on page 10.

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 79 of 181

Page 80

6.2.6 Application Software

Tests need to verify the communications links between the host and the modem and between the modem and the network, as follows:

Software Driver Configuration

Ensure that the host product can enable the modem serial port to permit the host and modem to communicate. This test verifies that the driver software functions well and is configured properly.

Network Configuration

Determine if the host can use the modem to communicate with a GSMâ network. This test uses existing network software in an attempt to communicate with a specific network.

NOTE: Make sure the d15 is set to the correct band.

The final application must be able to respond correctly under all adverse network conditions, not just the ideal case. To achieve this, the application software has to be systematically tested against all possible failure and exception conditions. Situations such as low battery, out of range, host down, unexpected data, maximum message size, maximum peak/sustained throughput, and other conditions must not cause the host application to fail. Each condition must have a specific remedial action to alleviate it.

6.3 Final Assembly

A final assembly test is performed before shipment to ensure all components are working properly and issues such as crimped antenna cables, lose connections, and improper software load are resolved. During final assembly, the modem sends and receives a loopback message of maximum size. The successful return of the sent message proves the product can transmit and receive correctly.

6.3.1 End User Problem Resolution

When the final product is in the hands of the end user, testing must quickly isolate the cause of the problem in the field. For example, is the problem caused by the terminal, the modem, the network, the configuration, or a user error? Can the problem be fixed locally or does the unit need to be sent to the service shop? It is very time consuming and expensive to send products to the service shop, especially if the problem is caused by a temporary network or host outage. For this reason, you should design the application to allow for end-user problem determination. Often this functionality can be designed co-operatively with the Help Desk, which supports the user

over the telephone and without access to the user’s screen. The application must enable the end user to relate the most likely cause of the problem to the Help Desk for a quick solution. Effective tests provide a systematic, positive acknowledgment from each of the network components. For example: Test 1 Is the OEM module able to pass its own self test? Test 2 Is the OEM module able to communicate with peripherals? Test 3 Is the OEM module able to communicate with the integrated modem? Test 4 Is the modem able to hear the network? Test 5 Is the modem registered and allowed to operate on the network? Test 6 Is the gateway (if present) up and running? Test 7 Is the host up and running?

d15 Modem Integration and Application Developers Guide version draft 0.53 Page 80 of 181

Page 81

6.3.2 OEM Service Depot Repair

When a unit comes in to the OEM for service, the first requirement is to determine whether the modem must be sent on to Motorola for repair. A screening test must be performed, one that mounts the modem on the Motorola evaluation board and sends a loopback message to qualify the specific problem. To set up for this test, you need to have an evaluation board, a known-good d15 modem (for comparison), and a power supply. The end-to-end test can employ either a live network or an over-the-air test involving a communications monitor that can transmit and receive at the appropriate frequencies. The objective is to test the suspect modem in a known-good environment, in which all other components are known to be operational.

6.3.3 Diagnostic Utility

This appendix describes how to develop a script to perform a factory end-of-line test of a d15 modem integrated in an OEM platform. This test provides a high degree of confidence that the modem is properly configured and integrated, and is ready for shipment.

CAUTION ! OEM service operations are encouraged to modify the following QA test

procedure to develop a test for the diagnostic screening of repair products.

6.3.4 Quality Assurance Testing

Efficient, automated testing can ensure the product is functional when delivered to the end user, especially when OEM product manufacturing occurs in a region or country distant from the intended network. Use the following checklist to verify that a product is ready for shipment:

1. OEM host platform (without modem) is operational.

2. OEM host platform contains the correct software load.

3. OEM host platform provides sufficient power to operate the modem.

4. Modem is loaded with the correct software version.

5. Modem is loaded with correct frequencies.

6. Modem is configured for the correct ID and network registration information.

7. OEM host communicates with modem logic board.

8. OEM host is able to key up the radio with sufficient output at the antenna.

9. Modem can receive with sufficient signal strength from the antenna port.

NOTE: Requirements for testing items 1 and 2 are specific to each OEM product. A

specific discussion of these items is beyond the scope of this document.

An automated test script provides more than diagnostic support. When you set up an automated test process, you ensure that only those products that pass the test are labeled for release. For example, since regulatory agencies require product labeling for certification and approval for us, you can develop an automated script to read the modem ID and destination network from the modem and generate a label with the proper inscription.
