Safety Precautions 1.1. Important Safety Information The following information applies to the devices described in this manual. Always observe all standard and accepted safety precautions and guidelines when handling any electrical device. • Save this manual: it contains important safety information and operating instructions. • Do not expose the Enfora Enabler IIIE product to open flames. • Ensure that liquids do not spill onto the devices. • Do not attempt to disassemble the product: Doing so will void the warranty. With the exception of the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM), this product does not contain consumer-serviceable components. 2. Regulatory Compliance FCC 2.1. Integration Considerations and Installation Requirements The Enabler IIIE modem is designed for use in a variety of host units, "enabling" the host platform to perform wireless data communications. However, there are certain criteria relative to integrating the modem into a host platform such as a PC, laptop, handheld or PocketPC®, monitor and control unit, etc. that must be considered to ensure continued compliance with FCC compliance requirements. • Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. • In order to use the Enabler IIIE modem without additional FCC certification approvals, the installation must meet the following conditions: • Maximum RF output power and antenna gain to meet Maximum Permissible Exposure Requirements: GSM850 mode: Power at antenna port is +33 dBm, the maximum gain is 1.4 dBi. GSM1900 mode: Power at antenna port is 30 dBm, the maximum gain is 7.0 dBi. • If used in a "portable" application such as a handheld or body worn device with the antenna less than 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the human body when the device is operating, then the integrator is responsible for passing additional "as installed" testing and the device will require it’s own FCC ID: i. SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, with results submitted to the FCC for approval prior to selling the integrated unit. If unable to meet SAR requirements, then the host unit must be restricted to "mobile" use (see below). ii. Unintentional emissions, FCC Part 15; results do not have to be submitted to the FCC unless requested, although the test provides substantiation for required labeling (see below). iii. ERP and EIRP measurements for FCC Parts 22 and 24, alternatively a full retest on FCC Parts 22 and 24 can be performed EDG0308IG001 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide • If used in a "mobile" application where the antenna is normally separated at least 20 cm (7.9 in) from the human body during device operation, then an appropriate warning label must be placed on the host unit adjacent to the antenna. The label should contain a statement such as the following: WARNING RF exposure. Keep at least 20 cm (7.9 in) separation distance from the antenna and the human body. • Host unit user manuals and other documentation must also include appropriate caution and warning statements and information. • If the FCCID for the modem is not visible when installed in the host platform, then a permanently attached or marked label must be displayed on the host unit referring to the enclosed modem. For example, the label should contain wording such as: Contains GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem transmitter module FCC ID: MIVEDG0308 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. OR Contains FCC ID: MIVEDG0308 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. • Any antenna used with the modem must be approved by the FCC or as a Class II Permissive Change (including MPEL or SAR data as applicable). The "professional installation" provision of FCC Part 15.203 does not apply. • The transmitter and antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Violation of this would allow a user to plug another transmitter in to the product and potentially create an RF exposure condition. WARNING The transmitter and antenna must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Failure to observe this warning could produce an RF exposure condition.

General design guidelines for utilizing Enfora GSM modules The following guidelines are provided in an effort to allow Enabler IIIE module users to successfully implement their PCB layout to obtain the best performance. This includes the lowest possible EMI emissions, maximum thermal conduction, mechanical integrity, and voice quality. The Enabler IIIE module is a very compact, high performance design, yet it is easy to interface into the final product. In order to realize its full potential, designers should pay close attention to ground structures, the routing of RF and Digital traces, and the size of the power supply lines. These design tips are strictly guidelines and are not meant to be a complete list of items that guarantee actual performance. Each application is different and may require variation from these guidelines, however, care should be given to utilize these sound engineering principles whenever possible. EDG0308IG001 13 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide 4.5.1. Advanced Tips for an RF Friendly Layout 4.5.1.1. Ground Plane To ensure the lowest possible EMI emissions and maximum thermal conductivity, it is recommended that all metal tabs on the GSM module shield must be soldered down onto a continuous ground plane that runs under the entire module. Ample ground vias should be provided around the metal tabs to create a low impedance ground. It is recommended to minimize the number of I/O and power traces and vias under the GSM module to allow for as much ground plane as possible. If the integrated unit includes more than one board, the design must guarantee a good RF ground connection between the boards in order to make sure the ground planes are at the same RF potential. An example of a good ground structure and pad layout is shown below in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Example of good ground plane for GSM modules 4.5.1.2. Thermal Relief Because the ground plane acts as a large heat sink, it can affect the solderability of components. A common method to reduce this effect is to use thermal relief around the pad in question. However, great care must be taken when using thermal relief for high current or high frequency applications EDG0308IG001 14 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide For example, a large thermal relief like the one shown in Figure 2 can serve the purpose for general applications such as low current, low speed data lines, DC connections and audio frequency applications. Such thermal relief structures should be avoided for applications where high current and/or high frequency is involved, such as those using the Enabler Module. Depending on the frequency of operation, the long narrow thermal relief traces between the pad and the ground plane act like an RF choke. These RF chokes become higher impedance at harmonics of the fundamental frequency making it problematic for high frequency suppression. This can make it difficult to pass type approval testing. POOR RF thermal relief Figure 2 - Example of a POOR RF Thermal Relief If thermal relief is necessary, it is recommended that you use short, fat traces similar to those shown in Figure 3. This will still provide a solderable connection, while providing a better RF connection. Making them shorter also allows for a more continuous ground plane due to less copper being removed from the area. It is also recommended to have ground vias around all thermal relief of critical ground pins such as the five Enabler shield tabs. EDG0308IG001 15 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide GOOD RF thermal relief Figure 3 - Example of a GOOD RF Thermal Relief 4.5.1.3. Antenna and RF Signal Trace The PCB trace that feeds the RF output port must be designed for a 50 ohm characteristic impedance, coplanar, or routed into internal layers to keep the top layer continuous around and underneath the Enabler module. Ample ground vias should be provided around the RF contacts, the RF trace and launch pad. If possible, keep I/O and power traces away from the RF port. This includes traces running parallel or orthogonal to it. Thermal relief should not be used on the antenna output port ground pads. The designer must pay close attention to the size of the pad and thickness of the dielectric beneath the signal pad and trace. Most PCB manufacturers can adjust the trace width to maintain 50 ohms impedance if the traces are identified and instructions are included on the FAB drawing. This service is typically provided at no or minimal additional cost. For minimum RF emissions due to the fundamental frequency of operation, the Enabler module works best with an antenna load that has a VSWR of 1.5:1 or better. The antenna should not have gain at the harmonic frequencies, otherwise, the conducted harmonics could get amplified to a point where the product no longer passes type approval. However, for applications where antenna quality is less than ideal, it is recommended to have a low pass filter (Pi structure with N=3) in the RF path to the antenna. This is a secondary plan should there be a need to lower harmonic levels at frequencies above the PCS band. The pad structure may also be used to match the antenna load impedance, if required. If it is not needed, a capacitor of low reactance may be used to bridge the Pi structure. The RF cable going between the Enable module and the antenna is very lossy, therefore, the length of this cable should be kept as short a possible. EDG0308IG001 16 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide If multiple antennas are used in their design, care should be taken during placement selection to minimize the coupling between the GSM antenna and the other antennas. 4.5.1.4. Vbat Input The Enabler Vbat input can have a relative high current draw that can fluctuate rapidly, especially when transmitting at max power and burst mode. The Vbat interface must be designed to provide the required instantaneous voltage and current with minimal voltage droop. This includes both sufficient bulk decoupling capacitance as well as adequate layout provisions. When laying out the connections to the Enabler interface connector, it is tempting to use traces of the same width as the connector pins. However, this is a very compact connector and traces of that width will not have sufficient copper. Similar to the discussion on thermal relief, the use of narrow traces to connect the Vbat pins to the source voltage can act like a high impedance and cause a significant voltage droop when higher currents are required as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 - Example of Vbat Voltage Droop If the Vbat drops too low, the Enabler modules will reset. To minimize the trace loss, it is suggested to use a larger trace that spans several pins as shown in Figure 5. Any concern about solderability can be mitigated by using solder mask with cutouts for the individual pins as shown by the blue lines in the figure. The layout should provide sufficient trace width over the entire trace from the Enable modules all the way to the source of the Vbat voltage. Any transitions between layers for this trace should utilize multiple vias. EDG0308IG001 17 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide Since even the best layout will have some impedance from the source to the Enabler module, sufficient bulk decoupling capacitance is required at the Vbat input to the Enabler module. It is suggested to use at least two 1000 uF, low ESR, tantalum capacitors located very close to the Enabler interface connector Vbat pins. Any thermal relief used on these capacitors should comply with the information given above in order to provide the lowest impedance possible. The grounding of these capacitors is critical. Therefore, it should be a low impedance and should utilize multiple vias to the internal ground plane close to the capacitor as well.

Circuit Protection Other than very low level ESD protection within the module’s integrated circuits, the module does not have any protection against ESD events or other excursions that exceed the specified operating parameters. Generally, ESD protection (typically TVS/Transzorb devices) should be added to all signals that leave the host board. This includes VBAT/VCC. Series resistors (typically 47 Ω) can also be added in series with data lines to limit the peak current during a voltage excursion.

Control Connector Signal Descriptions and Functions Please note that the following descriptions are intended to provide hardware-level definitions. In some cases, specific lines will have no firmware functionality implemented. Information for each hardware-specific feature will be noted in the appropriate section. 6.7.1. Module Power (Pins 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 95, 97, 99) The Enfora Enabler IIIE module uses a single voltage source of VCC=+3.3V to 4.5V. (The exact values of the uplink currents are shown in the tables in section 5.3.1.) VBAT Main Battery Supply Parameter/Conditions Voltage In Regulation Peak Current 1000 μF on Host at Module Connector Min 3.3 Typ Max 4.5 Units Vdc mA The uplink burst will cause strong ripple on the voltage lines and should be effectively filtered. It is recommended that 1000 to 2000 μF of capacitance be placed as close to the modem I/O connector as possible. It should be noted that the input voltage level should not drop below the minimum voltage rating under any circumstances, especially during the uplink burst period. The Board to Board Connector is very delicate. When handling the module, do NOT handle by the Board to Board Connector. EDG0308IG001 32 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide 6.7.2. Reset Signal (Pin 37) The Reset signal is used to force the modem to start at a known state. When the Reset is pulled low the modem will immediately suspend any function and will not exit the reset state until the Reset signal is released to be pulled high. Once the transition from low to high is complete, the modem will boot. The Reset signal is falling edge triggered, so the reset function is set immediately when the signal is pulled low. When using Reset, it will immediately detach the connection from the GSM network, this is not considered ideal. Typically during a normal shutdown, the modem will issue a detach request to the network to indicate that it is being removed. Reset must not be used to ‘power off’ the device, but only as a last resort when there is no response from the module. Controlling the Reset signal must only be preformed by an open collector/open drain device. Driving the Reset signal high will interfere with the normal operation of the modem power on/off sequences. Power sequencing cannot be guaranteed if Reset is being driven high by an external device. If driving from an external microprocessor, the reset can be controlled by driving the control pin low as an output, then change the pin control to be an input, this will satisfy the high impedance requirement. The Reset pin can also be monitored as a system on/off indication. When the modem is powered on and in a normal operating state, this pin will be set high. When the modem is powered down or in the ‘off’ state, this pin will be low. Any monitoring circuit MUST be high impedance, such as a logic gate or microprocessor input.

Power Control (Pin 35) (PWR_CTL) The input is equivalent to a “phone ON-button”. A falling-edge on this Active-Low input will switch-ON the module or switch-OFF the module after a delay*. This input has a “weak pull-up” resistor internal to the module. This input can be left grounded if the “RTC Sleep Function” is not required. If RTC Sleep is required, then the PWR_CTL line must be floated to allow the internal resistor to pull the line high. See section 6.6.9 for more info on the RTC. Controlling the Power Control signal must only be performed by an open collector/open drain device. Driving the Power Control signal high may interfere with the normal operation of the modem. If driving from an external microprocessor, the Power Control can be controlled by driving the control pin low as an output, then change the microprocessor’s pin control to be an input (this will satisfy the high impedance requirement). *The OFF Delay is controlled by the AT$OFFDLY command. A value of 0 disables the PWR_CTL line from turning the module off. 800 milliseconds is the default value. To enable the module to switch-OFF via PWR_CTL you must set AT$OFFDLY to a value other than 0. The valid range is 100 to 10000 milliseconds. 6.7.3.1. Turning ON the Enabler IIIE Pulling the PWR_CTL line on the Enabler IIIE LOW for at least 50mS (after Vbat is applied and stabilized) is required to turn it ON. Section 6.7.3.3 describes various ways to provide the signal. Do not use a pull-up resistor on the PWR_CTL line since the line is pulled up internal to the modem. 6.7.3.2. Turning OFF the Enabler IIIE The Enabler IIIE can be turned off by either a low pulse on the PWR_CTL line, or by a software command (AT$OFF, see AT guide for further details). Section 6.7.3.3 describes various ways to provide the signal. EDG0308IG001 34 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide 6.7.3.3.

The Enfora Enabler IIIE can be powered on by using the PWR_CTL signal, and reset with the RESET signal. When using PWR_CTL, the I/O or serial lines can be at any voltage state desired. It is recommended that the I/O and serial lines be tristated or set low when the GSM0308 is shutdown for an extended period of time to prevent any leakage current from the processor to the modem.

Headset Detect (Pin 47) Headset Plug/Unplug detection. This pin is used to automatically switch to the headset audio path when enabled with AT$VSELECT=4. The device will default to handset when no Headset is detected. • 2 modes: Module already ON (Battery connected, VRIO ON) and plug event; Module OFF and plug event: the plug detection will be effective once VRIO is set ON • Plug and unplug detections are digitally debounced (debouncing time = 8 ms). • The jack plug detection feature is addressed through the HSDET pin. The integrated pull up, connected to the pin, forces a high level (VBAT) when the headset load is not connected. At jack insertion headset load connection (32 Ω) imposes a low level on that node (Headset left channel): as an example HSDET = 1 mV after jack plug for VBAT = 4 V. • Input comparator threshold voltages are defined as VTlow = VBAT/2 – 100 mV and VThigh = VBAT/2 + 100 mV, VBATmin = 3.2 V. The plug and unplug detection remains functional if there is no signal from HSOL amplifier output (stereo path is OFF) or if there is a signal from HSOL (stereo path is ON): maximum level on HSOL when the stereo path is ON is 1 Vp-p which stays far enough from the comparator threshold levels VBATmin/2 – 100 mV and VBATmin/2 + 100 mV. • Jack plug detection is functional if a plug event occurs before the power up of the module or if the plug event occurs after the power up of the module: analog detection part is always active if the battery is connected. Detection interrupts will be generated once the VRIO regulator is power up during the module power up sequence. • A level change on HSDET pin is sensed by a Schmitt trigger to provide a jack detection signal to the audio digital control. The audio digital control receives the detection signal and proceeds to a digital debouncing (time: 8 ms = 256 * 32 kHz clock periods) before sensing that a plug event happened on the jack connector.

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Carrier (Pins 76, 78, 80, 82, 84) The SIM, an integral part of any GSM terminal device, is a “smart card” that is programmed with subscriber information: • The user information consists of an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, which is registered with the GSM provider, and an encryption Ki (pronounced "key"). This information consists of a microprocessor and memory installed on a plastic card. Note: The SIM is not provided with the Enfora Enabler IIIE module. The SIM must be obtained from the GSM service provider and must be provisioned by the operator for data and/or voice. Always take care to protect the SIM: the GSM terminal will not operate without the SIM installed. The SIM provides the IMSI for authentication. To gain access to the GSM network, the network must recognize the IMSI number, and the terminal must be able to properly decrypt the data sent by the network. The SIM also serves as a buffer for SMS messages, storing the message for transmission until a radio link is available and buffering received messages until retrieved. 6.8.1. SIM Integration for the Enfora Enabler IIIE Module The Enabler IIIE module default configuration does not include an on-board SIM carrier. Enfora provides a separate product SKU for the Enabler IIIE module with the integrated SIM carrier. 6.8.2. Using a Remote SIM with the Enfora Enabler IIIE Module (Pins 76, 78, 80, 82, 84) The Enabler IIIE module default configuration does not include an on-board SIM carrier. The module supports the use of 1.8 V and 3 V SIM cards. The module includes a hardware interface module dedicated to Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). All baud-rates defined in ISO 7816-3 standard are supported for high-speed transmission. The module optionally includes an on-board SIM carrier. All other modules require a remote SIM carrier/connector. If the module is going to be integrated using a remote SIM, the following guidelines are provided: • To utilize a remote SIM, the integrator must provide a suitable SIM connector. • The maximum distance from the module to the remote SIM connector must not exceed 25.4 cm (10 inches). • External ESD Protection is Required; 15 kV Air Discharge; 8 kV Contact Discharge; The transorb must have a low junction capacitance (typically < 10 pf) such as the following part: Enfora PN: TRS-0000-5009 Manufacturer: On Semi Manufacturer PN: NSQA6V8AW5T2G EDG0308IG001 50 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide <25.4 cm (10 in) Enabler IIIE module Remote SIM SIM Interface SIM_VDD SIM_RST SIM_CLK SIM_DTC SIM_I/O Figure 16 - Remote SIM Interface Pin Name SIM_VDD SIM_CLK SIM_RST SIM_I/O SIMDTC Pin Number 76 78 80 82 84 Signal Direction I/O Description SIM VDD Card Reference Clock Card Reset Card I/O Data Card detect The module provides the regulated supply voltage for the SIM-card and the circuitry to detect the insertion or extraction of the SIM-Card in or from the mobile. The SIMDTC is disabled by default (see AT$SIMDTC in the EIII AT Command Manual for settings). When enabled, the SIMDTC pin has an internal pull up to Vcc and can be configured to detect a SIM insertion when the SIMDTC is either pulled to ground or left floating. It can configured to detect either just a SIM removal or both removal and insertion. When the module detects a SIM removal, it will de-register from the network. When the module is configured to and detects a SIM insertion, it will reset the module and re-register on the network. The SIM-card presence detection logic is active even when the system is in idle mode.

GSM/GPRS Modes of Operation GSM/GPRS supports many optional services and modes. The Enfora Enabler IIIE module supports the following GSM/GPRS services: • Circuit-switched data • Short-Message Services (SMS) • Class B GPRS Functionality • Voice communication 7.1. Enabling the Transmission Modes for the GSM/GPRS Services Each of the GSM/GPRS services has two modes that can be enabled separately: • Mobile-originated (MO): allows the making of a service request (such as, making a telephone call or sending an SMS) • Mobile-terminated (MT): allows receiving a service request (such as receiving a telephone call or an SMS) Note: Contact your local GSM operator to ensure that the services and modes have been provisioned for the SIM. 7.2. Voice Communication The Enfora Enabler IIIE module has full voice capabilities, provided the necessary connections have been made for the speaker and microphone pins on the 100-pin I/O connector. The Enfora Enabler IIIE AT Command Set Reference- EDG0308AT001MAN has the entire list of commands that can be used to control the voice functionality. The quick start guide in this manual provides a basic command set that can be used to initialize and test the voice functionality. The Enfora Enabler IIIE module supports four vocoder compression algorithms for voice communication: Full-Rate (FR), Enhanced Full-Rate (EFR), Half-rate (HR) and Adaptive Multi-rate (AMR). 7.3. Circuit-Switched Data In this mode, the Enfora Enabler IIIE module supports both of the connection modes of transmission that are provided by GSM: • Non-Transparent mode delivers a constantly low error rate but with a non-guaranteed throughput or delay. The Non-Transparent service provides a performance that is closest to using a modem over a fixed Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line. Note: All GSM service providers may not support transparent mode. In those cases, the Enfora Enabler IIIE module can be configured to switch automatically to Non-Transparent mode. This capability depends on the settings in the AT+CBST command. EDG0308IG001 53 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide 7.4. SMS: Short Message Services • Short Message Services (SMS) is a feature-rich GSM service. The Enfora Enabler IIIE module can perform the following tasks: • Sending and receiving binary messages of up to 160 characters (7-bit characters) • Sending and receiving text messages of up to 140 bytes (8-bit data) • Submitting a SMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to a SMSC (Short Message Service Center) and storing a copy of the PDU until either a report arrives from the network or a timer expires • Receiving a SMS PDU from a SMSC • Returning a delivery report to the network for a previously received message • Receiving a report from the network • Notifying the network when the module has sufficient memory capacity available to receive one or more SMS messages (after the module had previously rejected a message because its memory capacity was exceeded) 8. SIM Operation 8.1. Provisioning the SIM The SIM can support optional features or services. Most operators typically configure the SIM to send/receive voice calls and to receive SMS; however, some may require an additional tariff to enable the SIM to send SMS. The transmission of circuit switched and GPRS data are also additional services that may be required to allow the service: • Mobile-originated (MO): allows making a service request (such as, making a call or sending an SMS) • Mobile-terminated (MT): allows receiving a service request (such as, receiving a phone call or an SMS) It is imperative for the Enfora Enabler IIIE module that the SIM be configured for the optional services that are required for the application. 8.2. GSM Services Supported by the Enfora Enabler IIIE Module The Enfora Enabler IIIE module supports four GSM services (modes of operation) that must be enabled by the operator: • Voice calls (MO and MT): requires a telephone number • SMS (MO and MT): uses the telephone number for Voice • Circuit-switched data calls (MO and MT): requires a telephone number • The GSM SIM can have multiple telephone numbers. EDG0308IG001 54 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide 8.3. GPRS Services Supported by the Enfora Enabler IIIE Module The Enfora Enabler IIIE module supports the following GPRS (modes of operation) that must be enabled by the operator: • GPRS Packet Connectivity (MO and MT) with Both Dynamic and Static IP option • GPRS SMS (MO and MT): uses the IP (Dynamic or Static) set by the operator • Multiple APN Setting • Quality of Service Options • Multi-slot 10 Class of Service EGPRS Services Supported by the Enfora Enabler IIIE Module • Multiple APN Setting • Quality of Service Options Multi-slot 10 Class of Service MCS5- MCS9 8.4. Selecting the GSM Modes of Operation When provisioning the SIM for the Enfora Enabler IIIE module, enable the following modes of operation: • Voice calls: configure the SIM for both MO and MT service (to send and receive) • SMS: configure the SIM either for MT alone (to receive) or for both MO and MT (to send and receive) • Circuit Switched Data: configure the SIM either for MO alone (to send) or for both MO and MT (to send and receive) Voice MO/MT MO/MT MO/MT SMS MT MO/MT MO/MT EDG0308IG001 CS Data MO MO MO/MT GPRS Function Voice calls, receive SMS, make data calls Voice calls, receive / send SMS, make data calls Voice calls, receive / send SMS, make / receive data calls (requires an additional data telephone number) 55 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide 9. Software Interface 9.1. Software Interface The application sends commands to the Enfora Enabler IIIE module via the 100-pin I/O signal connector. These commands use the Enfora AT Command Set The Enfora Enabler IIIE module operates in one of the following modes: • Command mode: Used for configuring the Enfora Enabler IIIE module, for interrogating the GSM network, and for placing and receiving calls. It uses the AT command set via the serial port for communication. • On-line mode: Used after a circuit-switched data call has been established. Data is passed between the Enfora Enabler IIIE module and the controlling application without command interpretation. The only AT command that is interpreted in On-line mode is the +++ command. (This command places the Enfora Enabler IIIE module in Command mode but does not terminate the circuit-switched data call.) 9.2. Format for the AT Commands The general format of the command line is:AT See AT Command Manual 0X0D The prefix AT obtains synchronization, identifies the character parameters, and indicates that a command may be in the following characters. Most AT commands are not case sensitive: use either capital letters or lower-case letters for the AT command. Note: Some AT Command parameter values ARE case sensitive and are documented in the Enfora EDG0308AT001 - Enfora Enabler IIIE AT Commands. 9.3.

Integration of the GPRS Packet capabilities is more complicated than using AT command sequences to initiate the connection and begin transferring data. The following Application Notes should be used to integrate the GPRS packet capabilities: GSM0000AN001 - Enabler-G PPP Configuration for Windows 98 GSM0000AN002 - Enabler-G PPP Configuration for Windows 2000 GSM0000AN008 - Enabler-G PPP Configuration for Windows XP GSM0000AN010 - Enabler-G PPP Configuration for PocketPC 2002 GSM0000AN005 - Enabler-G Automated Network Connection Configuration and Use 11.1. Integrating the Enfora Enabler IIIE Module Note: Generally, all interfaces that are externally available to the end user need to be ESDconditioned and terminated in some way. Many of these interfaces should not be connected with power applied. At the highest level, this is done using some type of GSM test equipment (such as, Racal 6103E), a computer, and a serial interface tester. The GSM test equipment must be able to simulate a GSM call and measure the key parameters related to the module. Additionally, the serial interfaces and some minimal SIM functionality can be verified by sending AT commands to the Enfora Enabler IIIE module. All of these conditions need to be verified at ambient as well as extreme conditions. EDG0308IG001 62 Draft – 03/07/2008 Enfora Enabler IIIE Modem Integration Guide As part of integration, each of the following interfaces must be verified: Information SIM Recommendations The maximum line length of the SIM interface is 25.4 cm (10 inches). The Enfora Enabler IIIE module takes care of the signal conditioning As a minimum, an external application with a remote SIM will require a standard SIM carrier. Filter the SIM VCC signal with a 10 uf / 10 V capacitor to help with the line length. Primary and secondary serial Interfaces Reset Interface Audio/Microphone Interface The Enfora Enabler IIIE module uses a 1.8V digital interface. The RS-232 signals must be level-shifted to get standard levels. These signals must be ESD-protected. Resets the Enfora Enabler IIIE module when tied low.
