WARNING: the power Supply connection of the Fastrack Modem M1306B must NEVER be directly connected to the truck battery.
5.2.1 Technical constraints on trucks
All trucks have a circuit breaker outside of the cabin. This Circuit Breaker is used for safety reason: if a fire takes place in the trucks, on the wiring trunk for example, the driver may cut the current source to avoid any damage (explosion). This circuit breaker is connected to the truck ground, most often associated with the fuse box.
Most of truck circuit breakers do not cut the Positive Supply line of the battery but cut the ground line of the latter.
Because second hand installer prefer sometimes to connect directly the power supply on the battery rather than on the circuit breaker, the Fastrack modem may be damaged when starting the truck if the circuit breaker is switched Off (in this case the truck ground and the battery ground will be connected through the Modem as shown in the figure below).

Figure 11 gives an example of electrical connection which may dramatically damage the Modem when its ground connection is directly connected to the battery ground.
In this example, when the circuit breaker is switched off, the current flows through the MODEM and powers the electrical circuit of the truck (dashboard for example).
Furthermore, when the Starter Engine command will be used, it will destroy the cables or the Modem.
Since the internal tracks are not designed to support high current (up to 60 A when starting the truck), they will be destroyed.
5.2.2 Recommended Power Supply connection on trucks
M1306B
Figure 12: Recommended power supply connection on trucks
Figure 12 gives the recommended power supply connection where the ground connection of the modem is not directly connected to the battery but is connected after the Circuit Breaker (on the truck ground or the fusebox).

7.2 Power supply
7.2.1 General presentation
The modem is supplied by an external DC voltage (V+BATTERY) from +5.5 V to +32 V.
Main regulation is made with an internal DC/DC converter in order to supply all the internal functions with a DC voltage.
Correct operation of the FASTRACK modem in communication mode is not guaranteed if input voltage (V+BATTERY) falls below 5.5 V.
7.2.2 Protections
The modem is protected by a 2.5 A / 250 V fuse directly bonded on the power supply cable.
The modem is also protected against voltage over +32 V.
When input voltages exceed +32 V, the supply voltage is disconnected in order to protect the internal electronic components from an overvoltage.
Filtering guarantees:
! EMI/RFI protection in input and output,
! Signal smoothing.

7.3 RS232 serial link
7.3.1 General presentation
The RS232 interface performs the voltage level adaptation (V24/CMOS V24/V28) between the internal WISMO module (DCE) and the external world (DTE).
The RS232 interface is internally protected (by ESD protection) against electrostatic surges on the RS232 lines.
Filtering guarantees:
! EMI/RFI protection in input and output,
! Signal smoothing.
Signals available on the RS232 serial link are:
! TX data (CT103/TX),
! RX data (CT104/RX),
! Request To Send (CT105/RTS),
! Clear To Send (CT106/CTS),
! Data Terminal Ready (CT108-2/DTR),
! Data Set Ready (CT107/DSR),
! Data Carrier Detect (CT109/DCD),
! Ring Indicator (CT125/RI).

7.3.2 Green idle power saving mode
This is a power saving mode which is automatically enabled inside the modem when there is no load on the RS232 serial link (no connection to a DTE).
7.3.3 Autoshutdown facility
The autoshutdown is a facility that permits to reduce the power consumption of the internal RS232 transceiver device. While shutdown facility is enabled:
! All Internal RS232 transmitters are disabled to reduce the power
consumption,
! All internal RS232 receivers are shut down except for CT103/TX receiver
which can alert the WISMO module in order to disable the shutdown facility .
This autoshutdown facility is controlled through one of the WISMO Quik module General Purpose I/O (GPIO0), driven through AT Commands:
1. to make sure that GPIO0 control is effective, it must be configured as an output using
AT+WIOM
command:
AT+WIOM=0
,
2. to enable or disable autoshutdown, use
AT+WIOW
command to drive
GPIO0:
! GPIO0 = 0: autoshutdown disable (
! GPIO0 = 1: autoshutdown enable (
AT+WIOW=0,0
AT+WIOW=0,1
),
),.
7.3.4 Autobauding mode
The autobauding mode allows the modem to detect the baud rate used by the DTE connected to the RS232 serial link.
Autobauding mode is controlled by AT commands. See [1] for details about this function.

7.6 RESET
7.6.1 General presentation
This signal is used to force a reset procedure by providing low level during at least 500 µs.
This signal has to be considered as an emergency reset only
. A reset procedure
is automatically driven by an internal hardware during the power-up sequence.
This signal can also be used to provide a reset to an external device. It then behaves as an output. If no external reset is necessary this input can be left open, if used (emergency reset), it has to be driven by an open collector or an open drain output:
RESET pin 14 = 0, for Modem Reset,
RESET pin 14 = 1, for normal mode.

RESET 14 I/O SCHMITT Modem Reset

Additional comments on RESET:
The RESET process is activated either
by the external RESET signal or by an internal signal (coming from a RESET generator). This automatic reset is activated at Power-up.
The modem remains in RESET mode as long as the RESET signal is held low.
This signal should be used only for “emergency” reset
.
A software reset is always preferred to a hardware reset.

7.6.2 Reset sequence
To activate the « emergency » reset sequence, the RESET signal has to be set to low for 500 µs minimum.
As soon as the reset is complete, the AT interface answers « OK » to the application. For this, the application has to send
AT↵.
If the application manages hardware flow control, the AT command can be sent during the initialisation phase. Another solution is to use the AT+WIND command to get an unsollicited status from the modem.
For further details, refer to AT commands documentation [1].

7.7 Audio
Audio interface is a standard one for connecting a phone handset.
Echo cancellation and noise reduction features are also available to improve the audio quality in case of hands-free application.
7.7.1 Microphone inputs
The microphone inputs are differential ones in order to reject common mode noise and TDMA noise.
They already include the convenient biasing for an electret microphone (0.5 mA and 2 Volts) and are ESD protected.
This electret microphone can be directly connected to these inputs allowing an easy connection to a handset.
The impedance of the microphone has to be around 2 kΩ.
AC coupling is already embedded in the modem.
The gain of the microphone inputs is internally adjusted and can be tuned from 30 dB to 51 dB using an
AT +VGT
command (refer to AT commands
documentation [1]).
