About CDMA...
The WISMO QUIK Q2338 is a digital CDMA wireless Module; compatible with digital (CDMA) networks operating at 800 and 1900 MHz.
Code division multiple access (CDMA) is the type of digital wireless transmission that the WISMO Quik Q2338 Series Module employs. The
following sections provide information on CDMA performance and advantages. These sections are designed to help you understand how to
better use your Wavecom Module.
Signal Strength and Module Performance
Like other portable wireless Modules or phones, the surrounding environment of the user affects signal strength. Buildings, parking garages,
elevators, and basements are some examples of structures that reduce signal strength. Problems initializing a call, muting of the audio during a
call, or a call drop are signs of low signal strength. Moving toward a window (if indoors) or open space (if outside) and extending the antenna
fully are ways to optimize signal strength. Traveling in a vehicle through varying terrain, tunnels, or near tall buildings may also cause rapid
changes in signal strength.
CDMA Advantages
Security: Each conversation is digitized and encoded with a separate assigned key to help prevent eavesdropping.
Voice Clarity: Uses digital voice coding techniques to enhance quality and reduce background noise.
Lower Average: Using sophisticated power control, the Module transmits
Transmit Power: The minimum power required to communicate with the base station and actually idles in between spoken
words. This results in much lower average power radiating from the antenna than other technologies.
Increased System: Provides 3-10 times the capacity compared to other Capacity technologies. This results in fewer dropped calls
and system busy signals for the user.
Digital Services: Allows user new services including caller ID, data and fax, text messaging, and simultaneous voice and data.
Safety
Important!
Read these safety guidelines prior to using your Module. Failure to follow these rules and guidelines may be dangerous and/or illegal.
Road Safety Information
Do not use a hand-held Module while driving a vehicle. Talking on the Module while driving is dangerous and illegal in some locations. If
using a hand-held Module, park the vehicle before conversing. Remember – road safety always comes first!
Aircraft Safety Information
Power down your Module prior to boarding an aircraft. Sending and receiving calls on your Module on an aircraft is prohibited by law and
aviation regulations. Using a wireless Module in an aircraft may interfere with aircraft radio communication or navigation equipment, and
disrupt the wireless Module network. When boarding an aircraft, turn your Module OFF.
Hospital & Medical Safety Information
Power down your Module prior to entering hospitals, health care facilities, or when near medical equipment.
Operating any radio transmitting equipment, including digital wireless Modules, may interfere with RF-sensitive medical devices. Follow all
posted regulations while in hospitals and health care facilities regarding the use of your Module.
Blasting and Refueling Safety Information
Do not use your Module near a blasting site. Power down your Module when in any area with a potentially explosive
Atmosphere. Radio transmissions in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. Obey all posted
signs and instructions regarding the use of wireless Module usage. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Interference Safety Information
All mobile Modules are subject to radio frequency interference that may affect the performance of your
Module. Your digital wireless Module is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. The design of your Module complies with the FCC
guidelines and applicable standards. Never rely solely on your Module for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies). You must
be in a service area with adequate signal strength to use the Module. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless Module networks or
when certain network services and/or Module features are in use. Check with your local service provider(s).
Service Safety Information

Power Supply
A standard DC Power Jack is provided on the Interface Board. The included Power Adapter can be used to supply the Module and Interface
Board via this jack. Alternatively a lab power supply capable of supplying at least 3.8Vdc at 2.0Amps can be used. The advantage of the lab
power supply is in allowing the user to monitor the current drain of the Module to help determine its operating state. The Power Jack has a
center positive connection, if a lab supply or other external source is used. A cable for this purpose is available.
The Power Adapter supplies 4.0 Volts DC and a maximum of 2.0 Amps. It can be plugged into a 110 Volt or 220 Volt Mains input. If a lab
power supply is used instead, it should be set for 3.8 Volts DC with a minimum current limit of 2.0 Amps.
Switches and Jumper
RESET There is a master push button reset switch, SW100, located in the middle of the Interface Board that when
depressed will pull the RESET/ line of the Module to Ground, causing a full Module microprocessor reset.
PWR – ON There is a slide switch, SW101, located on the back edge of the Interface Board. This switch interfaces directly
to the ON/OFF control line of the Module, via pin 6 of the board-to-board connector. Sliding the switch in the
“OFF” direction will pull the line low, causing the Module to shut off. Sliding the switch in the “ON” direction
will pull the line high, turning on the Module and keeping it in the ON state.
Boot A second slide switch, SW102, is located on the back edge of the Interface Board, beside the ON/OFF switch.
The function of this switch depends on if a CDMA Module or GSM/GPRS Module is being used. For normal
operation of the GSM Module, this switch must be in the HI position upon power up or reset. This switch when
in the LO position will put the GSM Module into its BOOT Mode. This allows software upgrades to the
embedded code within the Module, via the serial interface of the Interface Board and an application such as the
Wavecom DWLWin program. Note that the switch must be in the LO state upon power up or reset. Once the
embedded code is executing, the status of the BOOT input is no longer monitored
For the CDMA Modules, there is no need for this BOOT functionality. Thus this switch is for test purposes
only and is connected to GPIO 42 of the Module. The input can be pulled LO or HI and monitored via AT
Command Queries if needed
SNGL/DIFF Jumper A four-pin jumper, J303, is located near the Audio connectors. This is used to configure the Headset Audio for
either a single ended or differential speaker drive circuit. Silkscreen on the Interface Board indicates the jumper
positions required for either case. For Differential, one jumper should be placed across pins 2 and 3. For Single
Ended, two jumpers should be placed; one across pins 1 and 2, and the other across pins 3 and 4. Refer to
Error! Reference source not found. for more details on the functionality of this jumper block.
Connectors
Power Input The Power Connector provides input voltage to the board from the Power Cube provided in the Kit.
Data DB-9 The Data Connector provides for connection to the Host PC.
DM DB-9 This Connector is not available to the customer.
Serial Interface
Data
The DATA Interface provides a full 8 wire RS-232 interface with the PC. This interface supports the AT Commands; the Diagnostic (DM)
information; and high speed data.
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for this port are included on the Interface Board on the RX, TX, DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS and DCD lines to
indicate the state of the line. The red LED indicates a negative voltage on the RS-232 (Logic 1) and the green LED indicates a positive
voltage on the RS-232 (Logic 0).
DM
The DM Interface provides a 2 wire RS-232 interface for Diagnostic information only. The typical customer application should not require
this interface as all functionality of the DM Interface is now supported through the DATA Interface as well.
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for this port are included on the Interface Board on both the RX and TX lines to indicate the state of the line.
The red LED indicates a negative voltage on the RS-232 (Logic 1) and the green LED indicates a positive voltage on the RS-232 (Logic 0).
Audio
There are two unique audio paths provided for on the Interface Board, and supported by the Module.
Receiver
Handest-1 The Receiver Jack (J300) supports fully differential microphone and speaker signals. The microphone is also biased and
filtered on the Interface Board. The Receiver included in the Starter Kit can be used with this port.
This Receiver audio path is considered Path 1 in the AT Command Set.
Headset
Headset-1 The connector provides the user a single-ended MIC and Speaker RJ11 connection point.
Headset-2 The connector provides the user a single-ended MIC and Speaker standard 2.5mm Headset connection point.
The Headset Jack (J301) supports a biased differential microphone however the speaker path is either single or differential for GSM/GPRS or
single ended only for CDMA. This difference is due to limitations of the CDMA design, allowing for only one fully differential speaker path.
Jumpers on J303 configure the path for single (SNGL) or differential (DIFF) audio. The Receiver included in the Starter Kit can be used with
this port.
There is an additional audio jack included on the Interface Board that supports the use of a standard 2.5mm three-wire cell phone headset (not
included). This jack (J302) supports only single ended microphone and speaker signals, and is wired in parallel with the Headset Jack, J301.
Only J301 or J302 can be used at once, and the jumpers on J303 must be set for single ended operation to use J302. Note the single ended
audio does result in an increased noise floor, especially when the Starter Kit is used with a GSM or GPRS Module. Careful filtering and
attention to layout is required in a customer application to minimize this noise.
These Headset audio paths are considered Path 0 in the AT Command Set.
Vibrator
The Interface Board includes vibrator driver circuitry that will allow the customer to plug in an optional external vibration motor for testing.
The connection is made via test points TP500. A standard 1.6V to 3.0V cell phone vibration motor can be used.
Alternatively, for test purposes a red LED has been added to indicate the state of the line, and is located near the “VIBRA” label on the board.
Buzzer/Ringer
The Interface Board includes ringer driver circuitry that will allow the customer to plug in an optional external buzzer/ringer for testing. The
connection is made via test points TP501. A standard 2.0V to 3.0V cell phone ringer can be used.
Alternatively, for test purposes a green LED has been added to indicate the state of the line, and is located near the “RINGER” label on the
board.
LED Function
There are two general status indicators, LED1 and LED2, on the Interface Board. The drive circuits for these are controlled directly from the
Module, via the 60 pin board-to-board connector. Both LEDs are located near the Power Jack on the Interface Board.
Additional indicators are included for the Vibrator and Ringer driver circuits, and for the DM and DATA Interface ports. Refer to these
headings for more details of their function.
LED1
This LED is red when illuminated, and provides the user with an indication of the Module status according to the following table:
LED1 Status Module Status
OFF In download mode or OFF
ON: Permanent ON but not registered on a network
ON: Slow Flash
- 200mS ON, 2S OFF ON and registered on a network
ON: Quick Flash
- 200mS ON, 600mS OFF
ON, registered on a network and communication
in progress
LED2
This LED is green when illuminated. The functionality of this LED can be defined to provide a method of test and debug by the user via AT
Commands. It is connected via pin 54 of the board-to-board connector and is driven by GPIO 8 on the CDMA Modules, and GPIO 4 on the
GSM/GPRS Modules.
SIM Socket
SIM socket is provided for use with the RUIM (CDMA) or SIM (GSM/GPRS) card. The Interface Board supports the low voltage cards,
having a supply of 2.8Vdc from the Module. The RUIM card is not yet required for North American CDMA modules.
Keypad
For testing purposes, an optional keypad can be installed on the Interface Board that will provide the customer a 5x4 matrix of keys for test
and debug. The keypad should be a Grayhill 88JB2 and can be purchased in North America through Digikey with a GH5020-ND part
number. The Module itself can support a bigger matrix, however the keypad chosen was the largest standard keypad that could be found.
Note that for the CDMA Module, the JTAG and Keypad share the same Module interface pins thus cannot be used at the same time.
Additionally, the CDMA Module itself requires a different hardware population to implement each path. The default population
configuration for the CDMA module enables the Keypad, not the JTAG Interface.
JTAG
Included on the Interface Board for debugging purposes is a JTAG Header (J202). The connector, when needed, should be soldered to the
bottom side of the Interface Board. This connector will not be required in a customer application, and is therefore not normally populated on
the board.
Note that only the CDMA Module supports a JTAG interface. The JTAG and Keypad Interfaces share the same Module interface pins thus
cannot be used at the same time. Additionally, the CDMA Module itself requires a different hardware population to implement each path.
The default population configuration for the CDMA module enables the Keypad, not the JTAG Interface.
GPIO
Included in the design are Test Points to allow the customer to access all unused General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs) provided by the
Module. These are direct from the Module, with no circuitry added. They are located next to the Reset switch in the middle of the Interface
Board, and are labeled according to the CDMA Module schematic pin name. Two of these lines are Analog to Digital inputs to the Module
microprocessor, if required for testing.
Note that for the GSM Module design, the test point names do not apply and the user will have to refer to the GSM schematic to determine
the correct test point location for a given line.
RF
There are two RF connection points on the Interface Board, both used to provide an RF path from the Module to the Interface Board mounted
RF jack.
The Module will be supplied with an RF “pigtail” cable assembly. This pigtail is soldered to the module and terminates in a bulkhead style
RF SMA connector. This can be mounted on the Interface Board through the ground ring labeled “RF”, and the supplied Antenna screwed
onto this connector. This is the preferred method of connecting the RF Antenna.
Alternatively, under the Module there are pads where an optional surface mount connector can be soldered that will mate with similar pads on
the Module. A connector such as the Radiall R107.064.000 is suggested (see Note below). The RF signal would then be passed to J500,
which supports a connector such as the AMP/TYCO 221790-1 Right Angle PCB Mount SMA Connector (not included). The Antenna
included in the Starter Kit can attach to this jack.
Note: The Radiall connector has not been fully tested or characterized for either CDMA or GSM/GPRS. It is not recommended for customer
testing or customer use in a final design. Some versions of the Module may not support the use of a surface mount RF connector.
Expected antenna gain for the Low band 3dB and for High Band 0 dB
To connect the antenna to the starter kit simply attached the SMA connector to the provide SMA pigtail connector. For the final application
or if the connector has changed refer to the connecting instructions provided by the connector vendor and user’s guide of the finished
product.

Fig. 1. Call set up with WISMOQ CDMA 2000 1x module
Voice Call procedure
Note:
• The following procedures can work on both cellular band and PCS band, just use different phone or roaming to the other system.
• The calling phone # is just an example.
• For local dialing, the area code is not necessary.
Prepare to call
After the above set up is done and the module has a valid phone number and a good roaming list,
• Make sure the switch 1 close to the “reset” button is in “on” position and the other is in “OFF” position on the testing board
• Power up the testing board
• Launch UDM to see that the module is active and in “Idle” state.
Voice call on cellular band:
• Open a preset hyper terminal
• Enter “AT”, it should respond “OK”
• Enter “ATD 18583620101; // The “;” is necessary for voice call
• Pick up the Receiver, start conversation
• When finished the conversion, enter “ATH” to hang up.
To answer a voice call:
• From the hyper terminal, when see “RING” and “+CLIP:’8583620101’”
• Enter “ATA” to answer the call
• When finished conversation, enter “ATH” or wait for other party hang up.
Data call procedure
Note:
• The computer must have been installed an IE internet browser and two serial ports
• The active phone number should have data service,
• Before the procedure, user needs to set a dial-up network terminal to an active ISP. It is better to ask an IT person to set it up for
you.
Make a data call
• Make sure the data port (COM2) is free (close hyper terminal)
• Launch the dial-up network to the ISP
• After the connection is established, launch IE
• In IE, enter an valid web page address and to browse the internet
• When finished, disconnect the dial-up connection
Short Message Service (SMS)
Note:
• Currently, the SMS functions are limited in our CDMA1x module, but later we will add more functions
• For module generated SMS, the fixed test string will be used. So only the phone number can be dialed.
Module receives the SMS
• Open the hyper terminal (e.g. Call Terminal)
• Go to another computer with the internet connection
• Use internet browser and go to web site:
• For Sprint phone number: http://www.messaging.sprintpcs.com/smswmgr/BMG/index.jsp
• For Verizon phone number: http://www.vtext.com/
• Enter the module phone number and text message, then send
• When the “+CMTI: 1” pomp up, enter “AT+CMGR=1” to read the message.
• Then enter “AT+CMGD=1” to delete the message.
Module generates the SMS message
Note:
• Currently, only Verizon phone can support the mobile generated SMS.
• The Verizon mobile number “8583956021” is an example.
• Currently, no user text can be entered. It is a fixed string for test only.
• With the Verizon phone number module, in the hyper terminal, enter: AT+CMGS=”18583956021” // the “ “
is necessary in the command
• The module should response in sequence: +WORG; +WMOS: 1; +WMOS: 0;
• The receiving mobile should beep after a few seconds.
• In the receiving mobile, it will display the fixed message “This is a test of MO SMS”.

The modem does not answer through the serial link
1. Is the modem correctly powered on?
• If not, the correct power supply is 4V.
2. Is the serial cable suitable and adjusted in the modem and PC sockets?
• A suitable cable must follow pin assignment described on figure 6. [b10]Check in particular, that Rx & Tx are properly
connected.
3. Check that your communication program is properly configured:
• Modem factory setting for the character framing are:
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• The factory setting for baud rate is auto-bauding mode.
4. Does any other program interfere with your communication program (conflict on communication port access)?
• If yes, close any application likely to interfere (e.g. mouse or printer driver).
5. Issue AT+CMEE=1 to have extended error cause and retry
[b11]
No RF signal
• Verify the Antenna is correctly connected to the Module. Verify the position of the Antenna is in a strong signal location.
The Module does not answer through the serial link
• No or incorrect power is being supplied to the Module. Verify the Power Supply and ON/OFF Switch position.
• The Module is not adequately assembled onto the Interface Board. Verify that proper grounding (ideally solder) is provided.
• The wrong DB-9 connector is being used. Verify that the DATA Port is connected to the controlling PC.
• The terminal emulator application, HyperTerminal for example, is not correctly configured for the Module. Verify the Baud rate. It
is possible that the Module has been configured for a different default Baud rate, so it may be necessary to try different rates in
HyperTerminal.
No audio
• The wrong Audio Path has been selected. Try the other Audio Jack, or issue the AT Command to verify/select the correct path.
• The SNGL/DIFF Jumper is not correctly installed. This only affects the Headset Audio Path.
