2 GS64 WIRELESS MODEM

2.1 About the Gx64 Family

The Sony Ericsson Gx64 family of devices are Quad Band GSM/GPRS wireless modems operating in the GSM 850/900/1800/1900 bands.

The products belong to a new generation of Sony Ericsson wireless modems, and are intended to be used in machine-to-machine applications and man-to-machine applications. They are used when there is a need to send and receive data (by SMS, CSD, or GPRS), and make voice calls over the GSM network.

Two software variants of the Gx64 devices exist. One variant is designed to be controlled from a micro-controller situated on the host application. The other variant offers the option to run applications embedded onto the module itself. When using the embedded application version the controlling script can be run internal to the module, with or without the use of an external control.

A typical application, involves a micro-controller and a wireless modem, in which the micro-controller sends AT commands to the wireless modem via an RS232 communications link.

2.2 Wireless modems in a Communication System

Figure 2.2-1 and Figure 2.2-2 illustrate the main blocks of a wireless communication system using the wireless modem. Figure 2.2-1 shows the communication system when the script is embedded on the wireless modem and Figure 2.2-2 shows the communication system when a micro-controller is used. They also show the communication principles of the system and the interface between the wireless modem and the application. The definitions in the figures, as used elsewhere in this manual, are in accordance with the recommendations of 3GPP TS 27.007.

The MS (mobile station) represents the wireless modem and SIM card. The wireless modem excluding SIM card, is known as the ME (mobile equipment).

The DTE (data terminal equipment) is the controlling application. This can be either an external host or an internal embedded application

The DCE (data circuit terminating equipment) is the serial communication interface of the MS.

In accordance with the recommendations of ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunications Standardization Sector) V.24, the TE communicates with the MS over a serial interface.

The functions of the wireless modem follow the recommendations provided by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and ITU-T. 3GPP is a collaboration agreement that was established in December 1998. The collaboration agreement brings together a number of telecommunications standards bodies which are known as Organizational Partners. The current Organizational Partners are ARIB, CCSA, ETSI, ATIS, TTA, and TTC.

3GPP specifies a set of AT commands for controlling the GSM element of the wireless modem; these commands are supplemented by Sony Ericsson specific commands.

To find out how to work with AT commands, see the AT Commands Manual.

2.3 Features

The wireless modem performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to 3GPP release 99 and ITU-T. The functions of the wireless modem are implemented by issuing AT commands over a serial interface.

Integrators must follow electronic device handling precautions when working with any electronic device system to ensure no damage occurs to the host or the wireless modem. In the section ‘Integrating the Wireless modem’, users will find more information about safety and product care. Do not exceed the environmental and electrical limits as specified in ‘Technical Data’ section.

2.6 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Users must follow the general usage outlined in this chapter before using the GS64 for any purpose.

LZT 123 1836

20

Do not attempt to disassemble the product; only Sony Ericsson authorized personnel should perform servicing

2.6.2 Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SAR

Your wireless modem device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).

LZT 123 1836

21

Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.

The GS64 wireless modem device has been approved for applications where the antenna is located >20cm from the body. In all other configurations the integrator is responsible for meeting the local SAR regulations.

Integrators of the GS64 wireless modem device are responsible for ensuring that they meet the SAR regulatory requirements of the countries in which they intend to operate the device, and that their documentation contains the relevant SAR declaration, certification information, and user guidance as appropriate.

More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found at www.sonyericsson.com.

2.6.3 Personal Medical Devices

Wireless modem devices may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and certain other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is maintained between the GS64 module’s radiating antenna and a pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If the integrator’s application is likely to be situated in the vicinity of personnel, a suitable warning should be contained in the equipment manual to this effect.
