4. SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS 4.1 Introduction H18T uses the cutting edge technique of Qualcomm 3.5G (HSDPA) wireless communication. It is a wireless data card product embedded in any host device which has mini-PCI Express interface. The software platform is Qualcomm QSC6270. It uses USB interfaces to communicate with PC/NB. The USB interfaces are composed of three parts “NDIS interface”, “Customized AT command Interface” and “GPS command Interface”. “Network app” use NDIS interface to transmit Internet data between H18T device and Host device. Dashboard (“SMS, phone book, query network mode, and network status”) can send the AT commands to drive H18T device by “AT command Serial COM port”, and H18T provides dual com port. Factory test app also uses AT command interface to test H18T functionality in the factory. 4.2 Software Architecture The H18T product high-level software architecture is represented in the following figure: (High Level Software Architecture)

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 15.19(a)(1) licensed project This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. End Product Labeling:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: VRSH18T”. Manual Information That Must be Included: The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove. This RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The user’s manual for OEM Integrators must include the following information in a prominent location FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
