M1020 Evaluation
Module
This chapter provides specifications for the M1020 Evaluation Module (M1020-EVM)
provided in the D1120 Evaluation Kit. The M1020-EVM can be used as a reference
design for integrating an M1020 Mote into a self-contained device.
M1020 Evaluation Module
The M1020-EVM consists of an M1020-A Mote, packaged with an antenna, battery
holder, status LEDs, I/O connectors, and a recessed reset switch. The M1020-EVM
board is packaged in a plastic enclosure suitable for mounting on a wall or other vertical
surface.

CHAPTER 1 - M1020 EVALUATION MODULE Connector P1
2D1120 EVALUATION KIT QUICK START GUIDE
Connector P1
Connector P1 is a 4-position terminal block connector that accepts 12-22 AWG wire. It
assumes 0 to 5 V inputs, and contains internal filter circuitry for 60 Hz noise.
cWarning: Reverse biasing these inputs may result in damage to the device.

Connector P2
Connector P2 is an HD-15 female connector, as shown in Figure 1-2. It assumes
0 to 1.5 V analog inputs, and is unfiltered. All digital I/O are LVTTL (3 V) signaling.

CHAPTER 1 - M1020 EVALUATION MODULE Serial Interface
4D1120 EVALUATION KIT QUICK START GUIDE
Serial Interface
Connector P2 provides a flow-controlled serial interface with timing information (using
TX, RX, CTS, and SOF), as described in the M1020 Mote Integration Guide,
Appendix C. Serial port settings are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Power Supply
The M1020-EVM board is powered by a pair of L91 1.5 V AA lithium batteries (or
equivalent), and comes with a standard double AA battery holder. The M1020-EVM
does not contain a power switch. Units are tested and shipped in deep sleep mode. To
place the device into deep sleep, short pins 1 and 6 on P2, and reset the M1020-EVM.
The status LEDs should remain off, and the device remains asleep until it is reset. To
activate the unit, press reset with pins 1 and 6 unconnected.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
cWarning: The M1020 Mote is an ESD-sensitive device. Use caution when handling
in order to prevent permanent damage to the device.

mote. The M1020 mote acts as a radio gateway between the single board computer and
the Dust Network. An API is provided to allow users to develop custom interfaces or
data logging applications. Refer to the SmartMesh Manager API Guide for further
information.

Setting Up a Network
This chapter describes how to set up a D1120 Evaluation Kit in a simple sensor
network. For a more detailed explanation, see the Getting Started Guide that came with
your Evaluation Kit.
Setting Up the SmartMesh Manager
AInstall the SmartMesh Console software.
BConnect Manager to the PC using the cross-over cable.
CConnect power to the Manager.
DIf necessary, adjust the IP address of the PC to allow connection with the manager.
EStart Console.
FConnect to Manager.
GGo on to set up the network.
Setting Up the Network
APower up one evaluation module by resetting it.
BPress the Test button on the module.
The green Power LED should turn on. If it does not, make sure that the batteries are
properly seated. The Link LED starts blinking when the module has found the
network. When the module joins the network, the Link LED remains on.
CForm the network by powering up additional modules (repeat steps 1 and 2).
DUse the Console to verify network connectivity. For more information about
configuring and managing the network, refer to the SmartMesh Network
Administration Guide.
