BM210012WT27 21 Wavenet Technology
Wavenet provides a test facility for measuring host emissions and
subsequent modem desense of integrated host terminals. See “Desense
and EMI” on page 68. In addition, see “Desense” on page 73.
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. See “Final
Assembly” on page 70, and “End User Problem Resolution” on page
70.
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 loop back 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. See
“Final Assembly” on page 70 and see “End User Problem Resolution”
on page 70.
Environmental Issues
The Boomer II OEM modem is designed for a combination of easy
serviceability and general ruggedness but are designed to be housed in
a host device or terminal. 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.
General Precautions

Minimise 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.
