1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Description This document specifies a complete data radio module that will support the company’s next generation of PCMCIA based handheld and vehicle mount terminal, base station, access point and ruggedized computer products. The radio specified herein shall provide full support for, and be backwards compatible with the company’s proprietary narrowband radio protocols which include 4800 and 9600 baud two level FM, and 4800, 9600 and 19,200 baud four level FM. Specific host products that this radio is required to support are listed below under Host Support. Included as part of this support are the appropriate software drivers that will reside on the host. Connection to the host computer system shall be restricted to the standards governing a PCMCIA type III PC card. The traditional radio deck, interface card and flex cable will be integrated into a single type III PC card and connected via a cable to the host antenna.

SOFTWARE, FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS 9.1 PC Card Firmware 9.1.1 DSP Firmware Implements PHY layer of NB Polling Protocol. The DSP has complete control of the radio deck. It communicates with the host system through buffers allocated in common memory. There will be a limited POST executed after reset, to test major function blocks (RAM, FLASH checksum, PCMCIA I/F, etc). 9.1.2 Manufacturing There will be a separate, comprehensive manufacturing test program which, combined with special “loop-back” cables and JTAG test interface will fully test the card . SINAD will be a built-in test, while the SINAD test is running the radio link will not be functional (it will be the only task executed by the interface card). A SINAD measurement will be available to the host system in digitized format

The software will also allow the user to perform the following radio tuning operations: • fine adjustment of transmit power • transmit center frequency adjust • transmit modulation adjust • transmit modulation balance adjust Access to restricted radio configuration settings will be password protected. 9.2.4 Site Survey (terminals only) A site survey application shall be developed for the RA1001 that will perform in a similar manner to the site survey application available on the 7030 terminal. 9.2.5 Power Management (terminals only) The RA1001 radio drivers will set the operating mode of the RA1001 radio to properly correspond with the terminal modes of operation which include Full On, APM Enabled, APM Standby, APM Suspend, and Off. The will be no support for the APM mode “Full-On”, the radio interface card will always enter the lowest power possible. 9.2.6 RA1001 FLASH Upgrade Software shall be developed to support upgrading the RA1001 FLASH through the PCMCIA host connection, for in-system upgrade. For depot upgrade, a JTAG programming interface will be supported. Only firmware which is Regulatory Agency approved can be loaded on customer terminals. 9.3 Supplied Drivers Support Services Socket Services: TBD Radio Parameters: TBD [Note parameters affecting regulatory approvals must be permanently configured at the factory with no facility for a user application to modify them.] FLASH Upgrade: Programmable through PCMCIA host connector for field upgrade, or through JTAG test connector for manufacture or in the event that flash
memory has been corrupted and PCMCIA interface is subsequently no longer operational. A host resident program is required for upgrades through the PCMCIA connector. Limitations: Not compatible with PCMCIA 1.0 / JEIDA 4.0 10. MAINTENANCE, DIAGNOSTICS & SERVICE User Maintenance: none User Troubleshooting: none Hardware Reset: through host socket services Service Strategy: Equipment shall be returned to a service depot for repair or replacement. Repair Strategy: There will be no repair of PCMCIA cards, defective cards will be scrapped!

Coverage & performance shall be comparable to existing Teklogix Narrow Band products. Limitations: No internal antenna option. 11.3 Environmental conditions temperature - storage -35°C to +65°C temperature - operating -30° C to +60°C not sealed temperature - shock +/- 50°C over 20 second time frames (5°C/sec) humidity 10 to 95% (non-condensing) There will be NO environmental protection on the RA1001, as it is designed to be fully enclosed within the host unit. 11.4 Enclosure PC Card: Standard ‘off-the-shelf’ PCMCIA card kit 11.5 Labeling Requirements: Regulatory label: Must be visible on exterior of product enclosure. Includes all notices as per regulatory requirements of section 13, adhering to minimum text sizes defined therein. Identifies Psion Teklogix radio model number

MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS 13.1 General The design of this product and all accessories will be compliant with Manufacturing strategies, requirements and processes as defined in the Manufacturing Plan. The final product and sub-assemblies are designed to be tested using current methods and equipment (whether at Teklogix or a vendor), wherever feasible [custom test fixtures & test software is of course required.]. All components which may be subject to significant supply risks will have alternates sourced where feasible. 13.2 Production Assembly 13.2.1 Assembly Processes The RA1001 PC Card will be fully assembled, tested and sealed by the subcontractor prior to shipment to Teklogix. 13.2.2 Production Test Specifications TBD 14. FUTURE OPTIONS & UPGRADES 14.1 Operating Systems & User Interfaces As required (supported by Change of Scope). 14.2 Voice Mode Two voice modes could be supported in future releases, the first would support digitized
voice; and the second digital to analog transmission. Because analog signals cannot be passed through the PCMCIA interface voice digitization will occur in the host system in order to support base-station beacon requirement (as for TRX7370). 14.3 Increased Baud rates Through improved algorithms it should be possible to improve throughput of the Teklogix RF network. New firmware for the DSP can be downloaded from the host system through the PCMCIA interface for an in-the-field upgrade. However, re-approval of the radio module may be required.
