M1030 Mote Specifications
This chapter describes the features of the M1030 mote, and provides detailed
information about hardware and software specifications and operating conditions.
Overview
The M1030 mote is the core element in Dust Network’s new generation of robust, easy-
to-use wireless solutions for industrial, commercial, security, and logistics markets.
The mote provides a drop-in OEM solution for adding wireless mesh network

•Easy to integrate with a wide variety of sensors and actuators
•Self-configuring and self-healing, multipath routing
•902–928 MHz frequency-hopping spread-spectrum communication:
•Small: 1.2'' x 1.1''
•Solder-mount and edge connector options
•High sensitivity: -93 dBm (typical)
•Optimized to run SmartMesh software
•Analog, digital, and serial interfaces
•Supports up to seven time-stamped analog measurements per transmission
•Supports averaging of up to 255 analog measurements per transmission
•128-bit encryption

The following table shows the pinouts for the mote connectors.
.
Power and Ground Pinouts
The M1030 mote has an onboard regulator. Connect power to the J1 VCC pin (pin 2).
Power and digital or analog I/O should be referenced to the J1 GND pin (pin 1).
dImportant: To guarantee a known start-up state, the mote should be issued a reset
after power is applied.

Serial Port CHAPTER 1 - M1030 MOTE SPECIFICATIONS
QUICK START GUIDE FOR D1120 NETWORK WITH M1030 MOTE 5
DUST NETWORKS CONFIDENTIAL
Serial Port
Motes can be configured at run time to act as a serial bridge to legacy hardware, or new
smart sensor applications whose requirements exceed onboard mote capabilities. (Smart
sensors are sensors containing a microprocessor). Use the serial port (J1 pins 4 and 5) in
conjunction with Clear-To-Send (CTS) and Time pins (J1 pins 8 and 10) to provide a
flow-controlled serial interface with timing information. Time pin 10 allows the sensor
processor (SP) to request the current time from the network. When Time pin 10 is high,
the mote replies by sending a network time packet via the serial port.
Serial port settings are 4800 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. All lines are LVTTL
(3 V) signals.
Antenna Requirements
A U.FL-compatible male connector is provided on board for the antenna connection.
Nearson offers a number of 900 MHz antennae with U.FL connectors as a custom
option. The antenna should be omni-directional, single-ended, with a 50 Ω impedance.
The following are FCC-approved antenna specifications for the M1030 mote:
When placing the mote inside an enclosure, the antenna should be mounted such that the
radiating portion of the antenna protudes from the enclosure, and connected using a
U.FL connector on a coaxial cable. For optimum performance, allow the antenna to be
positioned vertically when installed.
Sleep Mode
Motes come with a special sleep mode feature that can ease deployment of battery
operated systems. If the serial port (J1 pins 4 and 5) is shorted, and the device is
physically reset, it assumes a very low-power mode that typically consumes less than 2
µA. The status LEDs remain off, and the device remains in sleep mode until it is
physically reset. No power switch is needed.
dNote: A mote cannot join the network while in sleep mode. The mote must be
physically reset to return it to normal mode before it can join the network.

cWarning: The mote is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive device. Use
caution when handling in order to prevent permanent damage to the device.
Recommended Operating Maximums
dNote: All mote edge connector pins can withstand ESD events up to 2 kV HBM and
1 kV CDM. HBM and CBM refer to the ESD model. The antenna connector can
withstand ESD events up to 50 V HBM.
