Cellular Radio Module
CRM4250/4200
1.0. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Standard Communications CRM4250/4200 Cellular Radio Module is part of a
two-piece solution for wireless data communications. The CRM4250/4200 unit is
used in conjunction with a separate modem unit to provide a complete solution. This
architecture allows use of multiple radio and other media interface modules with a
common multi-standard modem unit.
2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CRM4250/4200 contains all of the functional elements of a complete cellular
telephone with the exception of the user interface and the battery. The unit includes a
complete receiver and transmitter; plus, a micro controller and other circuitry to
allow the unit to efficiently interface to an external modem unit.
3.0. INTERFACE SPECIFICATION
3.1 General
The CRM4250/4200 interface is designed to allow simple interfacing between
various modems and radio modules. It is designed to be hardware and standard
independent on both the radio and the modem sides of the interface. This interface
has been submitted to the PCMCIA committee for adoption as an extension to the
PCMCIA modem card auxiliary connector standard.
The interface command set includes operating modes to support many different radio
system standards. At present, the standards defined for the interface include AMPS
cellular telephone. Products utilizing this interface may support one or more of these
operating modes and will have the ability to query the personality of a given module
and to set the operating mode of a multiple mode module.

4.0 SERIAL CONTROL PROTOCOL
4.1. Packet Structure
control field
data field
| SOF | byte count | command | data 1 | ... | data n | FCS |
Where:
SOF
byte count
command
data
FCS
Start Of Frame, hex value 02 (STX)
One byte value indicating the total number of bytes in
the packet, except the SOF.
One byte value representing the command/message
type being transmitted
argument or data for the command or message
checksum; the two's complement of the lower 8-bits of
the sum of the binary values of all of the bytes in the
packet except the SOF and FCS.
4.2. Data Transparency
Byte stuffing is used to reduce the probability of errors in frame synchronization. An
STX (02 hex) byte in the control or data fields of the packet, without byte stuffing,
could cause loss of frame synchronization. Byte stuffing applies only to the data and
control fields.
Prior to transmission of a packet, a DLE (10 hex) byte will be inserted prior to every
STX (02 hex) or DLE byte. The stuffed DLE byte is counted as a valid byte in
determining both in the LEN byte count and the FCS.
Once all the byte stuffing has been completed, the LEN byte needs to be compared
against the DLE. For the special case when the LEN byte is equal to a DLE 10h, the
LEN byte is incremented by one and a DLE inserted between the SOF and LEN.
Example of a LEN of 10h:
SOF
02h
DLE
10h
LEN
11h
CMD ….
76h
FCS
Note: Do Not DLE the FCS byte.
4.3. Message Flow
step 1 - Command / message transmitted (either direction)
step 2 - Destination processor immediately sends ACK/NAK to acknowledge receipt of
packet. (If required for command received.)
note: If necessary, destination processor initiates response message when requested
command is complete and/or requested data is available.

SOF = "start of frame" flag. Sent as 02 hex.
LEN = length of packet, in bytes.
FCS = "checksum" calculated as described in section 4.1
6.2. General Commands
Commands/messages listed in this section can be used under any operating mode. They
include commands/messages for general flow control, selection and control of
operating mode and general radio control.
00H Command ACK
This message is sent to acknowledge receipt of a command or message. Transmission of
an ACK only indicates successful reception of a supported command, if data or other
response is required, it will be sent in a separate message. An ACK must be received
within 100ms of reception of a packet, otherwise the packet will be assumed lost and a
retry will be attempted. While waiting for reception of an ACK message, any new
messages must be held until the current message has been successfully acknowledged.
After three unsuccessful retry attempts, an error condition should be declared and
appropriate error recovery procedures initiated.

Syntax:
Where:
Host to radio
Test
| SOF | LEN | 73H | aa | bb cc | FCS |
aa = Negative SID slot number 00 or 01
bb = SID data 
cc = SID data 
SID data is sent as 2 consecutive bytes with Byte 1 being the most significant byte of
SID, and Byte 2 being the least significant.
Usage:
This message is used to identify cellular system IDs that the
unit should ignore and not consider service available from.
This feature is intended to prevent units installed in locations near cellular market
borders from locking to the wrong system.
There are currently two negative SID slots available (00 and 01).
Storage:
Non-volatile.
C9H Command Request NSID
This command will query the radio for its programmed negative SIDs.
Direction:
Mode:
Syntax:
Where:
Host to radio
AMPS
| SOF | LEN | C9H | aa | FCS |
aa = 00 Negative SID slot 0
01 Negative SID slot 1
Usage: By using this command the negative SID programmed can be read out to the
host controller. The negative SID is a system ID that the unit will ignore so
that it cannot lock to it erroneously. Typical usage is where there is a signal
presence from two different carriers (A or B side) with different SIDs. The
desired SID can be isolated by banning operation on the undesired SID. This
example deals with different carriers on the same side (A and A or B and B).

7.0 CONTROL MESSAGE FLOW DIAGRAMS
7.1 Initial Power-up Sequence
Upon initial power-up, the unit will execute a basic self-test / initialization routine and,
upon successful completion, send out a 'Radio Power On' message. The normal
sequence is then to initialize the radio mode (Data, Voice, Diagnostic).
If you select the Voice or Data mode the unit will then attempt to locate cellular service
and, if available, will indicate such with a 'Service Available' message.
At this point the unit is ready for normal operation.
Note: Your must select one of the three modes upon power up, radio reset or upon
receiving the 45h command.
7.2 Power-down Sequence
Normal power-down sequence requires shutting down any call or other connection in
process before removing power from the unit.
7.3 Change Operating Mode
The operating mode of the radio can be changed at any time using the set Initialize
radio mode command (56h). Care should be taken to insure that any connection
established in one mode is terminated (or properly monitored) when changing to an
alternate mode.

8.0 POWER MANAGEMENT
The CRM radio in AMPS mode draws approximately 30-50mA. This is in a state
where the CRM is listening to the control channel for pages (incoming calls). If your
application does not utilize incoming calls, then the CRM may be switched OFF (VCC
remove from pins 9 & 10 (CRM4200) or pins 13 & 14 (CRM4250) to conserve power
completely.
During a phone call / conversation, the CRM4250 can draw a nominal 1.0 Amps (3
watts), the CRM4200 can draw a nominal 700mA (600mW). Depending upon how
long the call lasts will determine the length of time that the power supply must
maintain at least 1.3 Amps for Class I operation (3 watts) or up to 740mA for Class III
operation (600Mw). The CRM may be asked by the cellular system to reduce the
output power due to the strong RSSI (received signal strength indication) by the cell
site during the call. This depends upon the physical location of the CRM to the cell
site. In mobile applications the CRM may change power levels several times during a
conversation.
Fixed applications usually have consistent power consumption based on the locked
location. You should consider worst case scenarios in the event that the CRM is placed
in a spot that is located far from the nearest cell or located near the cell site.
When planning a power consumption model the efficiency of the DC regulator needs to
be accounted for. For example if the power conversion of the regulator is 75% then the
total power draw from the CRM including regulation is used for you calculations.
