WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 5.1.3 Checking the communication with the modem ! Connect the RS232 link between the DTE (port COM) and the modem (DCE). ! Configure the RS232 port of the DTE as follows: ! Bits per second: 115.200 bps, ! Data bits: 8, ! Parity: None, ! Stop bits: 1, ! Flow control: hardware. ! Using a communication software such as Hyperterminal, enter the AT↵ command. The response of the modem must be OK displayed in the Hyperterminal window.

WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 5.2 Specific recommendations when using the modem on trucks 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).
PAGE 25
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 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.
PAGE 26
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 5.3 Operational status of the modem The operational status of the modem is given by the status of the green LED located on the front panel of the modem. The table below gives the meaning of the various statuses available.
PAGE 27
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 5.5 Verifying the received signal strength The Fastrack modem establishes a call only if the received signal is sufficiently strong. To verify the received signal strength, do the following operations: ! ! Using a communication software such as Hyperterminal, enter the AT command AT+CSQ. The response returned has the following format: +CSQ: ,with: o = received signal strength indication, o = channel bit error rate.
PAGE 28
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 5.6 Checking the pin code status To check that the pin code has been entered, use a communication software such as Hyperterminal, then enter AT +CPIN? command. The table below gives the main responses returned: AT +CPIN response (*) +CPIN: READY +CPIN: SIM PIN Interpretation Code PIN has been entered Code PIN has not been entered (*)For further information about the other possible responses and their meaning refer to document [1]. 5.

PAGE 36
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 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.
PAGE 37
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 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 electrostatic surges on the RS232 lines. (by ESD protection) against Filtering guarantees: ! EMI/RFI protection in input and output, ! Signal smoothing.

WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 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.
PAGE 39
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 7.4 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) The FASTRACK modem M1306B provides two General Purpose Input / Output lines available for external use: GPIO4 and GPIO5. These GPIOs can be controlled by AT commands: ! AT+WIOW for a write access to the GPIO value when the GPIO is used as an output, ! AT+WIOR for a read access to the GPIO value when the GPIO is used as an input. Refer to document [1] for further information about AT commands.
PAGE 40
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 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.
PAGE 41
WM_PRJ_M13_UGD_001 - 001 20th July 2004 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.
