© 2016 Montage Systems LLC 3 / 15 1 Introduction The TALON-LTE is a self-Contained vehicle tracking device that combines GPS location with LTE connectivity. The TALON-LTE appears to a user or a server application as a single endpoint device. It can be queried, updated and configured either through a serial connection, or an over the air IP connection, or through SMS messaging. The TALON-LTE presents itself over these connections as an enhanced cellular modem with attached functional elements. These elements include:  GPS location engine  2 General Purpose Bidirectional I/O (GPIO) pins  1 Relay drive pin output  Serial UART port  Input voltage monitor (optional)  Timers  Watchdog lockup protection (Dedicated watchdog circuit is optional)  Factory load option for motion detection Access to these elements and general purpose interfaces is done through an extended AT command set as defined herein. Application scene: This product will be designed based on the 4G wireless data/SQN3223 Baseband chipset, which includes ARM CPU and LTE_CAT1 protocol. This baseband internal connection 4M serial flash, LTE_B4&B13 RF Transceiver, and RF Front end circuit. The device will use one dual band antenna（LTE_B13&B4）and one dedicated GPS antenna.

They are general purpose bidirectional lines capable of providing system interrupts to generate a report or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 2.8V logic level and are 16V tolerant. These pins default to input. GP1 is pulled down representing 0 when disconnected; GP2 is pulled up representing logical 1 when disconnected. They should be asserted to a known value if used. GP1 is intended to use for Ignition Sensing. LED’s Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and operation. The status LEDs are color coded and directly convey the status of the cellular and GPS subsystems as described in the table below. Their valid operation also indicates operational status and power. LED Function Status Red GPS On: GPS satellites acquired and Locked Flash Slow: GPS satellite search is in progress Off: No power or GPS subsystem fault Green Cellular Connection On: Indicates WWAN connection is made Flash Slow: WWAN subsystem initialized but no connection Flash Fast: WWAN initialization in process Off: No power or WWAN subsystem fault The TALON-LTE provides user control allowing the LEDs to be extinguished once installation is verified. This feature reduces power and further conceals the TALON-LTE Tracker from untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation. UART A UART port is provided for AT command and data interaction and optionally for application specific control. The UART can also be used as an expansion port for sensors and other peripherals Relay Driver A 500mA sink capable output pin is provided. This pin is meant to drive a relay coil indented to interrupt the starter solenoid relay for the ignition circuit to a car. Battery Monitor The battery monitor is internal analog input scaled such that the DC value of the power input pin to the TALON-LTE system is measured. This value is scaled to span the most significant 8 bits of the A/D and consequently covers a scale from 0 to 25.5 Volts. Timers Timers resident on the baseband chip generate periodic interrupts for power down wakeup, watchdog support, report generation and other timer related functions. Report timers are supported by related AT command and cause generation of periodic reports.

The circuit includes is MCU that acts as a failsafe external watchdog. The MCU power cycles the system, if no activity is detected for 2 hours. Motion Detect (Option) A factory populates option for motion detector is provided. If populated at the time the TALON-LTE is manufactured, this option will work with firmware power down options to keep the TALON-LTE in a very low power down state until motion is detected. Upon wakening, a report can then be generated. 2.2 Basic RF Performance Items Requirements Remark TRP free space B4/B13: >= 20 dBm TRP free space TIS free space Main: <= -91dBm Div: <= -88dBm TIS free space Antenna loss <= -3dB TRP-TX Power Conducted Antenna Loss <= -3dB RX receive sensitivity conducted – TIS Board RF Specification LTE_B4 RX B4 Frequency range 2110-2155MHZ Sensitivity -99.5dBm (10MHZ_50RB_Downlink) Dynamic range -23～-99.5dBm Dynamic range PER Pass LTE_B4 TX B4 Frequency range 1710MHz～1755MHz Maximum Frequency error ±10Hz Maximum output power 23dBm Minimum control output power <-40dBm ACLR UTRA2: 46.48 UTRA1: 41.21 E-UTRA1:39.23 UTRA2: 43.87 UTRA1: 40.51 E-UTRA2:38.05 OBW 8.87MHZ (10MHZ Nominal) IQ OFFSET < -55.6dbc

An over the air TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) connection is made over a UDP/IP connection. A replacement file is then transferred from a server to the TALON-LTE and that file replaces the previous application image. Additionally the whole stack can be updated using an OMA-DM protocol. 3.3 Power Modes The TALON-LTE device supports several power modes that are set by the power mode command. In full power mode the GPS is active and the cellular subsystem will maintain a persistent cellular connection whenever service is available. IP connection is maintained according to the configuration of the device. The device can be put in low power mode whenever it runs on a backup battery or if the external battery is low or if it is not moving. In low power mode the GPS is not running and the LED’s are off. The device would return to full power whenever an event occurs that triggers a report. Those events include: Report timerGPIO changeIP changeBattery thresholdHeartbeatWatchdogPower-up
© 2016 Montage Systems LLC 10 / 15 Any hardware or software reset will return the device to full power mode. 3.4 AT Command TALON-LTE commands are AT extensions specific to TALON-LTE devices. They are closely based on commands that are as similar as possible to other industry common devices and are essentially subsets of standard TALON-LTE commands. Common commands used with LTE modems supporting IP connectivity are not included within the TALON-LTE command set extensions. These commands are left in their native structure. Ack’ed Mode UDP is not a 100% reliable connection and occasional reports or command/responses may be lost. Since all commands have responses, the server can repeat any command to which there is no response. In order to assure reliable reception of reports, Arsenal devices can be configured either in Normal or Ack’ed mode to send the reports. In the Normal mode the reports are simply sent “as is” with no acknowledgment from the server. In the Ack’ed mode every report sent is expected to be acknowledged by the server by sending back an ACK message back. If acknowledgement is not received within the specified timeout, the report is re-sent. If the report is not acknowledged after the specified number of attempts, it is queued. If acknowledgement is received after the report is queued (i.e. past timeout of the last attempt), it is ignored. Report is not considered “complete” until its acknowledgement is received. Thus, if report X is sent and report X+1 is triggered while waiting for acknowledgement of X, report X+1 will be queued until such acknowledgement is received and only then sent. The Talon-LTE will attempt to re-send queued report(s) every time a new report is triggered. If there is more than one report queued, the reports will attempt to be sent in the order of triggering and only once the report is acknowledged, the next report is attempted. This assures that reports are sent and received in order. Ack’ed mode assures that all reports are received, but adds overhead in time and data. Report that is not acknowledged is sent again and eventually will be queued and sent again. The number and frequency of re-tries is configurable via the Report Acknowledgement command (AT+IONACK). Event Report Format Reports can be generated in either an ASCII representation of hex or as actual binary encoded hex. The reporting format is selected via Report Format (AT+IONRF) command. Note that while the logical content of the report is the same in both representations, the size for an ASCII report is twice the size of actual numbers of bytes compared to binary representation. 3.5 Reset There are a number of resets available on the device. Soft reset only restarts the software running on the device. Hard reset is caused by resetting the whole basband module via a reset pin. There is also an option to reset the GPS sub-system only.
© 2016 Montage Systems LLC 11 / 15 3.5.1 Context Preservation When a reset is caused by the Network Watchdog or by the Reset command (modes 0,1), the context of the system is being preserved and is restored after the reset. The context includes all the periodic timers, the report queue, the odometer, etc. This allows to reset the unit as a troubleshooting measure either periodically or due to Network Watchdog without losing reports that are already in the queue or are pending on running timers. Note that the reset process may cause 1-2min of inaccuracy in the timers and should not be considered as very precise. 3.6 Startup Banner After a reset a startup banner is printed through the UART only. The format and content of the banner shown below: FW:<firmware version>; BIN:<bin version>; IMEI:<IMEI> APN1:<apn1 name>; IP:<IP>:<port>;LPORT:<lport>
