1.2.3 Baseband Functionality
The M280 module interfaces with host device through HALF PCI Express Mini Card interface. The
interface equips with USB2.0 interface, USIM interface, LED control signal, Wake# signal to request
host device return from sleep/suspended state, and W_Disable# signal to disable radio operation.
There are several GPIO pins (2.6V compatible) reserved for customized applications, please contact
BandRich for discussion. Besides the above mentioned interfaces, M280V also provides PCM
interfaces reserved for voice applications. The M280-LC features low power consumption but
requires higher input voltage than HALF PCI standard.

1.3.2 Installation Instructions
IF you want to insert the module into the connector, make sure the power is OFF and follow the steps
as below:
a. Insert the module into the connector at the angle of 20 degrees.
b. Firmly insert the module into the connector, and press the module down into the securing clips
until the card clicks into place.
Figure 1-3 Installation Figure
After inserting the module into the connector, you can connect the antenna with the module. The main
antenna is on the right side and the diversity antenna (RX only) is on the left side.
Please keep the antenna more than 20cm away from all persons.

1.4 Network LED indicate device
The Network LED indicated device is ground-referenced current sink. The host drives the device to
provide a current path and an appropriate voltage for LED at PIN 42 of M280 module. Figure 2-2
shows the block diagram of the current drivers. Table 2-3 describes the LED output characteristics in
different states.

1.5 USB Interface
M280, M280V and M280-LC module are compliant with USB2.0 in all three modes (Low speed, Full
speed, and high speed). When two devices are connected via a USB interface, one of the devices must
act as a host, and the other device must act as a peripheral. The host is responsible for initiating and
controlling traffic on the bus. For example, the USB specification requires PCs to act as hosts, and
other devices such as M280 to act as devices.
Figure 1-5 USB Interface
1.6 USIM Interface
The universal subscriber identification module (USIM) is a smart card for UMTS/GSM cellular
applications. The USIM provides the required subscription information to allow the mobile equipment
to attach to a GSM or UMTS network. The USIM also provides the subscriber's verification
procedures as well as authentication methods for network authentication during the network
registration procedures. Upon power-up or after a soft-reset, the clock and data lines to the USIM will
be active through the initialization process. Figure 2-3 shows the SIM card pin definition. It’s
recommended to implement hardware USIM detection mechanism or complete avoiding USIM
hot-plug through mechanical design. The reference design for hardware USIM detection is provided
in the “Application Note for BandLuxe Module USIM Detection Recommendation”.

y USIM_CLK and USIM_RST signal, include 33pF filter capacitors is required to be placed near
the SIM connector.
y Route all USIM signals carefully – isolate them from sensitive analog and RF signals.
y External ESD diodes are necessary to protect the chip on the module; the ESD diodes should be
placed near the connector.
y Refer to the reference circuits below:

Section 2 Device Driver Interface
Basically the module will manifest itself as a composite USB device which creates stubs which the
other higher level drivers hook into and provide their respective function. The composite USB device
could be modem, NDIS interface, AT command interface or diagnostics interface. All device drivers
used by OS have been created for Microsoft Windows Vista 32/64, Windows XP SP2 above, Windows
2000 SP4 above, Mac OSX 10.4 above, and Linux Fedora 8, Unbuntu 7, Open SuSE 10.
Either the modem or the NDIS interface can be used to transfer data; and AT command interface or
diagnostic interface could be used to send/receive information of the module via the Connection
Manager (CM) application. For more information about supporting AT commands please refer to
section 4.
