For DC installations (with a fixed “system” ground reference), Sierra Wireless recommends always grounding the FX30 chassis to this system ground reference.

To ensure a good grounding reference, attach the FX30 to a grounded metallic surface.

Step 3—Connect the Antennas

Warning: This gateway is not intended for use close to the human body. Antennas

should be at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from the operator.

The FX30 has two SMA female antenna connectors:

• Cellular antenna connector

• GNSS antenna connector

GNSS bias supports 3.15 V antennas

For regulatory requirements concerning antennas, see Maximum Antenna Gain on page 55.

Rev 4 March 2019 18 41110030

Note: The antenna should not exceed the maximum gain specified in RF Exposure on page 55. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/ or multiple connections), you must follow the maximum dBi gain guidelines specified by the radio communications regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada, or your country’s regulatory body.

To install the antennas:

Cellular antenna connectorGNSS antenna connector

Installation and Startup

Note: Take extra care when attaching the antennas to the SMA connectors. Finger tight (approximately 0.6–0.8 Nm 5–7 in-lb.) is sufficient and the max torque should not go beyond 1.1 Nm (10 in-lb.).

1. Connect the cellular antenna to the SMA cellular antenna connector.

Mount this antenna so there is at least 20 cm between the antenna and the user or bystander.

2. If used, connect a GNSS antenna to the SMA GNSS antenna connector.

Mount the GNSS antenna where it has a good view of the sky (at least 90°).

Note: If the antennas are located away from the gateway, keep the cables as short as possible to prevent the loss of antenna gain. Route the cables so that they are protected from damage and will not be snagged or pulled on. There should be no binding or sharp corners in the cable routing. Excess cabling should be bundled and tied off. Make sure the cables are secured so their weight will not loosen the connectors from the gateway over time.

USB Ethernet

Step 4—Connect the Data Cables

The FX30 has two ports for connecting data cables:

• USB (Micro-B)

• Ethernet (RJ-45)— Use a Cat5 or greater Ethernet cable

Figure 2-13: Connectors for data cables

Cabling Concerns

Separate the antenna, data, and power cables from other wiring. Route the cables away from sharp edges.

Cable Strain Relief

Sierra Wireless recommends using cable strain relief for installations in highvibration environments.

Place the cable strain relief within 200 mm (8 inches) of the FX30 to reduce the mass of cable supported by the power connector under vibration. Ideally, the strain relief mounting for the DC cable should be attached to the same object as the gateway, so both the gateway and cable vibrate together. The strain relief should be mounted such that it does not apply additional stress on the power connector. The cable should not be taut and should not pull the power connector at an angle.

Power Modes

The FX30 is designed to handle extremely low power. It has three power modes:

• OFF Mode

• Ultra Low Power Mode on page 48

• Active Mode on page 48

OFF Mode

In Off mode the FX30 application processor, WWAN radio, and low power microcontroller are off. On/Off is controlled by the On/Off Pin 3/GPIO24 and Power Hold/GPIO58.

If no Legato applications are in place for GPIO58 (power hold), the gateway is off when Pin 3 is low and on when Pin 3 is high.

However, the power line from Pin 3 is also connected to GPIO58 (power hold). GPIO58 is low by default. If either Pin 3 or GPIO58 is high, the gateway is on. GPIO24 monitors Pin 3. (See Figure 3-4 on page 48.) This gives you the option to design an application that detects when Pin 3 goes low, and holds the power on temporarily to complete the desired actions prior to the gateway turning off, for example, a graceful shutdown process or a last-gasp type feature.

Typical wake-up time before network attach is 15 seconds.

Ultra Low Power Mode

In Ultra Low Power Mode (ULPM), the FX30 application processor and WWAN radio are off.

The low power micro-controller monitors the wakeup triggers which are:

• Timer (The timer wakeup must be configured prior to the gateway entering ULPM.) You can use the Legato Timer API or the Legato Power Management tool (pmtool) command to configure wakeup from ULPM.

• Digital Inputs IO 1 and IO 2 (IO wakeup must be configured prior to the gateway entering ULPM.) You can use the Legato Power API or pmtool command to configure wakeup from ULPM.

Note: The external digital IO1 and IO2 are connected to GPIO2 and GPIO21 on the WP module as standard digital inputs and are also routed to GPIO36 and GPIO38 to wake up from ULPM. See Table D-2 on page 76.

FX30 can be put into ULPM using the “pmtool shutdown” Legato command or the Ultra Low Power Mode Legato API.

Typical wake-up time before network attach is 15 seconds.

Active Mode

In Active mode the FX30 application processor is running and the modem is operating in one of the following modes:

Rev 4 March 2019 48 41110030

• Full function—The application processor is fully functional and the WWAN radio is on; the GNSS radio can be turned on/off.

• Idle—The application processor is fully functional and the WWAN radio is on. The module is registered on the network, but there is no active connection; the GNSS radio can be turned on/off.

• Airplane mode—The application processor is fully functional and the WWAN radio is off; the GNSS radio can be turned on/off. By default the GNSS radio is on.

Depending on the application, you can lower power consumption by disabling the Ethernet interface and GPS bias using GPIO52 and GPIO55 respectively. (See

Table D-1 on page 74.)

C: AT Commands Reference

This appendix documents the AT commands that are specific to the FX30. For a complete list of AT Commands for the radio modules available for the FX30, refer to the WP8548/WP75xx/WP76xx/WP77xx AT Command Reference (document number

4118047).

In addition, the AT Commands in Table C-2 are specific to the FX30.

Note: Parameters in angled brackets < > are mandatory. Parameters in square brackets [ ] are optional.

Managing the I/O Interface with AT Commands

See AT!FWD?GPIO and AT!FWD=GPIO documentation in Table C-1, and I/O mapping in Table D-1 on page 74.

Because some FX30 GPIOs are driven by an I/O expander, do not use standard AT+WIOR/WIOW AT commands for the FX30.

Warning: Most FX30 GPIOs are preconfigured. D o not use the AT+WIOCFG command!

Using this command could make the FX30 inoperable.

Here are some AT command examples for GPIOs:

E: FX30 Factory Configuration

eSIM support

Some FX30 variants (such as FX30 Cat-1 WP7607-1) support eSIM. The external 2FF SIM slot is the preferred slot, but the internal eSIM will be used if no external SIM is inserted. You can change the slot using the AT command AT!UIMS or the Legato command cm sim select.

Note: If SIM AUTO SWITCH is enabled, the !UIMS setting is updated to reflect the preferred slot. See SIM AUTO SWITCH below .

AUTO-SIM

The AUTO-SIM feature applies to Cat-1 and Cat-M variants, and is enabled by default. This feature reboots the device and loads the carrier configuration (PRI) that corresponds to the SIM. For example, if the external slot is enabled, and a Sierra SIM is inserted, the Sierra carrier PRI will be loaded. By default, if a carrier PRI does not exist (the SIM’s carrier does not match a PRI loaded on the radio module), the generic carrier PRI is loaded. Note that the AUTO-SIM feature is not persistent over a firmware update; however, you can re-enable it by using the AT command AT!IMPREF="AUTO-SIM".

SIM AUTO SWITCH

The SIM AUTO SWITCH feature applies to Cat-1 (R10.1.1 and later) and Cat-M (R11 and later) variants. This is a customization that allows a user to select the preferred slot. By default, the external slot is the preferred slot. You can change the preferred slot by executing the AT command AT!CUSTOM="UIMAUTOSWITCH".

Note: This command requires level 2 unlocking . See the WP8548/WP75xx/WP76xx/WP77xx

AT Command Reference for more information.

FX30 Factory Configuration

AirVantage Management Services Polling Mode

The default FX30 configuration setting for AVMS Polling Mode is 60 minutes. The AT command to change the setting is AT+WDSC=3,x where x is the number of minutes. See the WP8548/WP75xx/WP76xx/WP77xx AT Command Reference for more information.

Note: If you are experiencing issues with your FX30 not automati cally checking in with AVMS, then query the AV Polling rate using AT+WDSC?

If the result is +WDSC: 3,0 then AV Polling is disabled. Please enable polling using AT+WDSC=3,60 to set the polling rate to 60 minutes.

AirVantage Management Services User Agreements

The default FX30 configuration for AVMS User Agreements is “Disabled” for the following modes:

• AVMS connection

• Package download

• Package install

• Device reboot

• Application uninstall

The AT command to change the user agreements is AT+WDSC. See the

WP8548/WP75xx/WP76xx/WP77xx AT Command Reference for more

information.

UART Settings

The default FX30 configuration setting for UART1 is for AT Command Service, and UART2 is disabled. The AT command to change the setting is AT!MAPUART.
