Chapter 1 – Universal Socket Connectivity Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Universal Socket Hardware Guide for Developers (S000342H) 9 Pin Signal Name In/Out Description 24 –RESET* I Device Reset (with pull-up). The active low –RESET input resets the device logic and returns the configuration of the device to the original factory default values or "stored values" in the NVRAM. –RESET is tied to VCC through a time-constant circuit for “Power-on-Reset” functionality. The module is ready to accept commands after a fixed amount of time (“X” Time) after power-on or reset. Model Time Constant "X" Time Minimum Reset Pulse* MT5600/5656SMI 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MT5634/9234SMI 400 ms 6 seconds 100us MT2456SMI-22 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MT2456SMI-IP 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MTXCSEM 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MT100SEM 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MT128SMI 200 ms 6 seconds 100us MTSMC-G 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MT800SWM 250 ms 6 seconds 100us MTS2BTSMI 250 ms 6 seconds 100us *The SocketModem device may respond to a shorter reset pulse. Reset Line Interface for the MT5656SMI, MT2456SMI, MT2456SMI-IP. The modem’s reset line employs a .01uF cap and a 10K pull up resistor. Care must be taken to ensure the system the modem is place into is not affected by the added capacitance of the reset line. It is not advisable to use an open collector driver in the embedded system's reset circuitry to drive a reset signal to the embedded modem and other I.C.s in the customer’s design. Rather, if an open collector driver is to be used, run that output to the modem only and use a separate driver for other embedded components. The modem’s reset signal may also be driven by a circuit that both sinks and sources current if desired. It is also important to note that these modems do not require an external reset. They have their own internal reset circuitry and voltage monitor and will function correctly even if the reset input is open. Reset GPRS and CDMA (MTSMC-G and MTSMC-C). This signal is used to force a reset procedure by providing low level during reset of at least 500us. The signal is considered an emergency reset only. A reset procedure is already driven by internal hardware during the power-up sequence. If no external reset is necessary, this input can be left open. If used (emergency reset), it has to be driven by an open collector or an open drain. Reset EDGE with pull-up (MTSMC-E). The active low –RESET input resets the device logic and returns the configuration of the device to the original factory default values of "stored values" in the NVRAM. –RESET is tied to VCC through a time-constant circuit for “Power-on-Reset” functionality. The module is ready to accept commands after a fixed amount of time after power-on or reset. 25 USB_VBUS I USB Voltage Sense. Senses the voltage level of the USB to determine if the bus is available. 26 GND GND Logic Ground. 27 USB_DP I/O USB Data Positive. Positive pin of the USB data pair. 28 USB_DN I/O USB Data Negative.

In the command state, the modem ignores –RTS. Note: When the –RTS pin is not in use, it should be tied low. * RESET – A Design Consideration: Allowing the host processor to control the RESET line of the module provides the benefit of allowing the host to reset the device in the event of a failure to respond normally. Resetting the module will return it to a known functional state.
Chapter 1 – Universal Socket Connectivity Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Universal Socket Hardware Guide for Developers (S000342H) 10 Pin Signal Name In/Out Description 34 –RXD O Received Data. The module uses the RXD line to send data to the DTE and to send module responses to the DTE. In command mode, –RXD data presents the module responses to the DTE. Module responses take priority over incoming data when the two signals are in competition for –RXD. When no data is transmitted, the signal is held in mark condition. 35 –TXD I Transmitted Data. The DTE uses the –TXD line to send data to the module for transmission or to transmit commands to the module. The DTE holds this circuit in mark state when no data is being transmitted or during intervals between characters. 36 –RI O RING (Active Low). Incoming ring signal from phone. Ring Indicate. –RI output ON (low) indicates the presence of an ON segment of a ring signal on the telephone line. The modem will not go off-hook when –RI is active; the modem waits for –RI to go inactive before going off-hook. SocketWireless Bluetooth (MTS2BTSMI). Strobes 1/sec for slave indication. 37 –DSR O Data Set Ready (Active Low). –DSR indicates module status to the DTE. –DSR OFF (high) indicates that the DTE is to disregard all signals appearing on the interchange circuits except Ring Indicator (–RI). It reflects the status of the local data set and does not indicate an actual link with any remote data equipment. 38 –CTS O Clear to Send (Active Low). –CTS is controlled by the module to indicate whether or not the module is ready to transmit data. –CTS ON indicates to the DTE that signals on TXD will be transmitted. –CTS OFF indicates to the DTE that it should not transfer data on TXD. 39 –DCD O Data Carrier Detect (Active Low). –DCD output is ON (low) when a data connection is established and the module is ready to send/receive data. 40 –DTR I Data Terminal Ready (Active Low). The –DTR input is turned ON (low) when the DTE is ready to communicate. –DTR ON prepares the modem to be connected, and, once connected, maintains the connection. –DTR OFF places the modem in the disconnect state under control of the &Dn and &Qn commands. Note: When the –DTR pin is not in use, it should be tied low. 41 GND GND Logic Ground. 42 SPK- O Wireless GPRS, CDMA, and EDGE.

Call progress on the MT9234SMI and the MT5634SMI is an analog output. Speakerphone Output on the MT5656SMI is under the control of +FCLASS. This is a single-ended analog output. SPKR is tied directly to the CODEC. One side of a differential AC output coupled through a 6.8K ohm resistor and capacitor. Design Considerations Noise Suppression Design Considerations Engineering noise-suppression practices must be adhered to when designing a printed circuit board (PCB) containing the SocketModem module. Suppression of noise is essential to the proper operation and performance of the modem itself and for surrounding equipment. Two aspects of noise in an OEM board design containing the SocketModem must be considered: on-board/off-board generated noise that can affect digital signal processing. Both on-board and off-board generated noise that is coupled on-board can affect interface signal levels and quality. Of particular concern is noise in frequency ranges affecting modem performance. On-board generated electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise that can be radiated or conducted off-board is a separate, but equally important, concern. This type of noise can affect the operation of surrounding equipment. Most local government agencies have stringent certification requirements that must be met for use in specific environments. Proper PC board layout (component placement, signal routing, trace thickness and geometry, etc.) component selection (composition, value, and tolerance), interface connections, and shielding are required for the board design to achieve desired modem performance and to attain EMI certification. Other aspects of proper noise-suppression engineering practices are beyond the scope of this designer guide. The designer should consult noise suppression techniques described in technical publications and journals, electronics and electrical engineering text books, and component supplier application notes. PC Board Layout Guidelines In a 4-layer design, provide adequate ground plane covering the entire board. In 4-layer designs, power and ground are typically on the inner layers. All power and ground traces should be 0.05 inches wide. The recommended hole size for the SocketModem pins is 0.036 in. +/-0.003 in. in diameter. Spacers can be used to hold the SocketModem vertically in place during the wave solder process. A spacer should be placed on pin 32 and pin 64 of the SocketModem. A suggested part number for the spacer is BIVAR 938-0.130 for P1 (0.310in) option SocketModems. The spacers can be left on permanently and will not effect operation. All creepages and clearances for the SocketModem have been designed to meet requirements of safety standards EN60950 or EN60601. The requirements are based on a working voltage of 125V or 250V. When the recommended DAA* circuit interface is implemented in a third party design, all creepage and clearance requirements must be strictly followed in order to meet safety standards. The third party safety design must be evaluated by the appropriate national agency per the required specification. User accessible areas: Based on where the third party design is to be marketed, sold, or used, it may be necessary to provide an insulating cover over all TNV exposed areas. Consult with the recognized safety agency to determine the requirements. Note: Even if the recommended design considerations are followed, there are no guarantees that a particular system will comply with all the necessary regulatory requirements. It is imperative that specific designs be completely evaluated by a qualified/recognized agency. *DAA stands for Data Access Arrangement. DAA is the telephone line interface of the module.
Chapter 1 – Universal Socket Connectivity Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Universal Socket Hardware Guide for Developers (S000342H) 12 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Considerations The following guidelines are offered to specifically help minimize EMI generation. Some of these guidelines are the same as, or similar to, the general guidelines but are mentioned again to reinforce their importance. In order to minimize the contribution of the SocketModem-based design to EMI, the designer must understand the major sources of EMI and how to reduce them to acceptable levels. 1. Keep traces carrying high frequency signals as short as possible. 2. Provide a good ground plane or grid. In some cases, a multilayer board may be required with full layers for ground and power distribution. 3. Decouple power from ground with decoupling capacitors as close to the SocketModem module power pins as possible. 4. Eliminate ground loops, which are unexpected current return paths to the power source and ground. 5. Decouple the telephone line cables at the telephone line jacks. Typically, use a combination of series inductors, common mode chokes, and shunt capacitors. Methods to decouple telephone lines are similar to decoupling power lines; however, telephone line decoupling may be more difficult and deserves additional attention. A commonly used design aid is to place footprints for these components and populate as necessary during performance/EMI testing and certification. 6. Decouple the power cord at the power cord interface with decoupling capacitors. Methods to decouple power lines are similar to decoupling telephone lines. 7. Locate high frequency circuits in a separate area to minimize capacitive coupling to other circuits. 8. Locate cables and connectors so as to avoid coupling from high frequency circuits. 9. Lay out the highest frequency signal traces next to the ground grid. 10. If a multilayer board design is used, make no cuts in the ground or power planes and be sure the ground plane covers all traces. 11. Minimize the number of through-hole connections on traces carrying high frequency signals. 12. Avoid right angle turns on high frequency traces. Forty-five degree corners are good; however, radius turns are better. 13. On 2-layer boards with no ground grid, provide a shadow ground trace on the opposite side of the board to traces carrying high frequency signals. This will be effective as a high frequency ground return if it is three times the width of the signal traces. 14. Distribute high frequency signals continuously on a single trace rather than several traces radiating from one point. Electrostatic Discharge Control All electronic devices should be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge. See the ANSI/ESD Association Standard (ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999) – a document “for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment.” This document covers ESD Control Program Administrative Requirements, ESD Training, ESD Control Program Plan Technical Requirements (grounding/bonding systems, personnel grooming, protected areas, packaging, marking, equipment, and handling), and Sensitivity Testing. Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. strives to follow all of these recommendations. Input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the Multi-Tech devices to minimize the effect of this static buildup, proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling. Multi-Tech uses and recommends that others use anti-static boxes that create a faraday cage (packaging designed to exclude electromagnetic fields). Multi-Tech recommends that you use our packaging when returning a product and when you ship your products to your customers.

Chapter 1 – Universal Socket Connectivity Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Universal Socket Hardware Guide for Developers (S000342H) 28 Canadian Labeling Requirements (for Dial-Up Modems) The following requirements are established under section 69.3 of the Telecommunications Act for purposes of section 5 of the Telecommunications Apparatus Regulations. Registered equipment shall bear the following identifying marks, and the Declaring Party shall ensure that these marks are permanently affixed to the equipment: (a) The registration number — Specifications of this mark are given in the document: Self-Marking of the Certification/Registration Number on Terminal Equipment — Application Procedure and Agreement; and (b) The model identification number under which the product was registered. A statement of compliance with Industry Canada requirements, such as the one given below, shall accompany each unit of equipment whether registered under this procedure or previously certified: "This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications" For terminal equipment intended for connection to loop-start or ground-start interfaces, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) must be calculated as per Section 1.8 of CS-03, Part I. A REN higher than that determined may be assigned by manufacturers to allow for production variations. The REN must be marked on the terminal equipment itself or added to the note below. A note similar to the following shall accompany each unit of equipment whether registered under this procedure or previously certified: "The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five". Pursuant to section 69.3 of the Telecommunications Act, certified or self-declared TE will bear a valid identifying certification number or registration number. The marking of the certification or registration number on the product shall be as follows: (a) TAC holder/DP will be responsible for permanently affixing the certification/registration number on the TE. The certification/registration number (see example below) identifies Certified or self-declared TE to the public, representatives of the telecommunications common carriers, the Department, and other interested parties. The letter height must be no less than 1.5 mm and the letters must be legible without magnification. (b) For integrated devices, e.g. a modem or one that is intended to become a sub-assembly of host equipment e.g. a data terminal, computer etc. that are designed to interface directly with the network, the certification/registration number shall be affixed to the integrated device itself. (c) The certification/registration number for a packaged TE will denote that the total package has been registered. However, the marking will normally be placed on that unit of the package which connects to the network; e.g., in a PBX the marking will be placed on the common equipment which connects to the network, rather than on plug-in components which may be added later. The Terminal Equipment List will show the common equipment but not the standard station apparatus or any proprietary station apparatus. (d) The marking format of the certification/registration number is as follows: IC: XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY Where: • The letters "IC" have no other meaning or purpose than to identify the Industry Canada certification/registration number, and • “XXXXXX-YYYYYYYY” is the certification/registration number; “XXXXXX” is the Company Number¹ (CN); it consists of up to six alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) assigned by Industry Canada; and “YYYYYYYY” is the Unique Product Number (UPN); it consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) assigned by the applicant. Other characters, (such as & # *-) may not be used. Alphabetic characters must be capitalized. ¹ Note: The Company Number of registered equipment ends with an alphabetic character. (e) Certification Numbers granted prior to the implementation of the above marking format are grandfathered. (i) For previously certified TE, the self-marking format shall consist of the old certification number preceded by “IC:” For example, if the certification number is “123 1234 A”, then the self-mark would read “IC: 123 1234 A”. (ii) For a new model that is registered to a family of previously certified TE, the self-marking format shall be: IC: XXXXXX-ZZZZZZZZ Where: • “XXXXXX” is the Company Number, as in (d) above; and • “ZZZZZZZZ” is either the old certification number minus the old company number, or a new Unique Product Number assigned by the applicant. For example, if a new model is registered to the family of products with certification number “123 1234 A”, and that the Company Number for the registration is “123A”, then the self-mark for this new model would read “IC: 123A-1234 A”. If the applicant decides to replace “1234 A” with a new UPN, say “5678", then the self-mark would read “IC: 123A-5678".

Chapter 12 – SocketWireless Wi-Fi (MT800SWM) Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Universal Socket Hardware Guide for Developers (S000342H) 45 Regulatory Requirements for the Antenna This section covers how to use the modular transmitter in order to maintain the modular transmitter approval and RF exposure compliance. Conditions to Satisfy Modular Transmitter Approval This device is intended only for use by OEM integrators under the following 3 conditions: 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and the end user for all installations. 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. 3) The communications device is approved using the FCC "unlicensed modular transmitter approval" method. Therefore, the communication device must only be used with the originally approved antennas. As long as the 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements with this communication device installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that any of these conditions CANNOT be met (for example certain laptop configurations, co-location with another transmitter, or use of a different type antenna), then the FCC authorization for the communications device is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID CANNOT be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. RF Exposure Statements Developers Must Include in the Their User Manual for Their End Users The user manual for consumers must include the following information in a prominent location: "IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF safety exposure limits, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter." Regulatory Requirements for End Product Labeling Suggested End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed in such a way that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and the users (for example access points, routers, wireless ASDL modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area on the exterior of the enclosure with the following or similar text: "Contains TX FCC ID: AU792U07B06821". FCC & IC Information to Consumers The user manual for the consumer must contain the statements required by the following FCC and IC regulations: 47 C.F.R. 15.19(a)(3), 15.21, 15.101 and RSS-Gen Issue 2 dated June 2007, Sections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5. Additional Information That Must be Provided to OEM Integrators The end user should NOT be provided any instructions on how to remove or install the modular transmitter.
