Identity (IMEI)

The IMEI allows defective or stolen equipment to be barred from using the GSM network.

The IMEI number is unique to each Eagle II module. It reveals the manufacturer, the country of production,

and the type approval facility. When the Eagle II module is powered on and tries to register with the GSM

network, the network provider checks the IMEI. If the IMEI is valid and has not been barred, the Eagle II

module is allowed to register with the network.

Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) Carrier

The Eagle II module uses a push/pull SIM carrier (sometimes called SIM reader) and is

installed as a slot on the side of the module. The Eagle II module uses a 3 V removable

“mini-SIM” (or Plug-In) configuration.

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 Eagle II 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.

Using a Remote SIM with the Eagle II Module

The Eagle II module also allows the use of a remote SIM—one not installed in the

Eagle II module.

! To utilize a remote SIM, the integrator must provide a suitable SIM connector on the

application

Part Number: 07100017 version 00.04

All trademarks and copyrights are the property of Xircom, Inc.

! The maximum distance from the Eagle II to the remote SIM connector must not

exceed TBD cm (TBD inches).

Status Indicator

The Eagle II module provides a multi-color LED that indicates the current link status and

signal quality.

Note: The LED illuminates any time power is applied to the Eagle II module.

MODES OF OPERATION

GSM supports many optional services and modes. The Eagle II module supports the

following GSM services:

! Voice communication

! Circuit-switched data

! Short-Message Services (SMS)

! Group 3 Fax

! General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

Enabling the Transmission Modes for the GSM Services

Each of the GSM 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.

Voice Communication

The Eagle II module has full voice capabilities, provided the necessary connections have

been made for the speaker and microphone pins on the 60-pin I/O connector. The AT

commands and their responses to enter and receive information from the Eagle II

module. These functions include the ability for dialing, for providing on-hook or off-hook,

and for controlling other aspects of the voice call interface.

The Eagle II module supports three vocoder compression algorithms for voice

communication: half-rate, full-rate, and enhanced full-rate (EFR)

Circuit-Switched Data

In this mode, the Eagle II module supports both of the connection modes of transmission

that are provided by GSM:

! Transparent data mode delivers a service with a variable error rate, with a

guaranteed throughput and delay.

! 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 Eagle II module switches automatically to Non-Transparent mode.

SMS: Short Message Services

Short Message Services (SMS) is a feature-rich GSM service. The Eagle II module can

perform the following tasks:

! Sending and receiving text messages of up to 160 characters (7-bit characters)

! Sending and receiving binary 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)

SMS Features Supported by the Eagle II Module

The following list details the key characteristics and assumptions regarding the form of

SMS supported in the Eagle II module.

! Supports both mobile-originated (MO) and mobile-terminated (MT) SMS

! Delivers the message to a telephone

! Supports 8-bit data

! Supports Message Class 1

! Supports the concatenation of up to 255 messages

! Provides a status report indicator

! Supports the More Messages to Send (MMS) feature

! Allows the definition of a validity period

! Provides the Service Center Time Stamp

! Alerts the SMSC

! Supports Priority

! Supports Message Waiting

! GPRS (Future/Optional)

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

GPRS is the next step in GSM data services: a fully packet-based protocol service with

direct access to the Internet. By bringing the best features of messaging, circuit-switched

services, and packet data into harmony, GPRS promises to make new applications even

more practical and affordable. Future releases of the Eagle II module will support GPRS

mode. Currently, the Eagle II module is hardware-ready for GPRS, if the optional memory

upgrade is installed.

PROVISIONING THE SIM

The GSM SIM can support optional features or services. Most GSM 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 data and

fax are also additional services that may require tariffs and additional provisioning. Each

of these services has two separate modes that must be enabled 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 Eagle II module that the SIM be configured for the optional

services that are required for the application.

GSM Services Supported by the Eagle II Module

The Eagle II 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

! Fax calls (MO and MT): requires a telephone number

! Circuit-switched data calls (MO and MT): requires a telephone number

The GSM SIM can have as many as three telephone numbers: one number for voice

calls and SMS, one number for fax calls, and one number for data calls.

Selecting the Modes of Operation

When provisioning the SIM for the Eagle II 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)

! Data: configure the SIM either for MO alone (to send) or for both MO and MT (to

send and receive)

Voice SMS Data Fax Function

MO/MT MT MO XVoice calls, receive SMS, make data calls

MO/MT MT/MO MO XVoice calls, receive/send SMS, make data calls

MO/MT MT/MO MO/MT XVoice calls, receive/send SMS, make/receive data calls

(requires an additional data telephone number)

SOFTWARE INTERFACE OF THE EAGLE II

MODULE

The application sends commands to the Eagle II module via the 60-pin I/O signal

connector. These commands use the AT (from "AT-tention") command set.

The Eagle II module operates in one of the following modes:

! Command mode: Used for configuring the Eagle II 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 Eagle II 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 Eagle II module in Command mode

but does not terminate the circuit-switched data call.)

The AT command driver of the Eagle II module never exits the Command state, that is, it

never enters the On-line mode.

! In the Command state, characters that are received from the Customer Premise

Equipment (CPE) are treated as AT commands by the Eagle II module.

! In response to the commands received from the CPE, the Eagle II module sends

characters (AT commands) to the CPE.

! Various events can also trigger the Eagle II module to sends characters (AT

commands) to the CPE.

Format for the AT Commands

The general format of the command line is: <prefix> <command> <CR>

The prefix AT obtains synchronization, identifies the character parameters, and indicates

that a command may be in the following characters.

AT commands are not case sensitive: use either capital letters or lower-case letters for

the AT command.

AT Command Set

The following tables summarize the functional categories of AT commands that are

supported by the Eagle II module. For a full description of the AT commands, refer to the

Eagle II Programmer's Manual.

Note: A command description that includes an *asterisk denotes that the GSM

service provider must enable supplementary services functionality before the

command is available.

INITIALIZATION AND SETUP EXAMPLES

In the GSM vocabulary, a call from GSM mobile to the PSTN is called a "mobile-

originated call" or "outgoing call." A call from the fixed network to a GSM mobile is called

a "mobile-terminated call" or "incoming call."

In the following examples, “App” refers to the application. The following convention

describes the direction of the data exchange:

! The data exchange from the customer application to the Eagle II module is

designated as: App > Eagle

! The data exchange from the Eagle II module to the customer application is

designated as: Eagle> App

Note: With the exception of the +++ command (Online Escape Sequence), all

commands must be preceded by the AT attention code (or command prefix) and

terminated by pressing the <CR> character.

In the following examples, the <CR> and <CR><LF> are intentionally omitted for

clarity and space.

Initial Response to the AT Command

After power is applied to the Eagle II module, the module performs a power-up self-test.

The self-test completes within TBD seconds. When queried with the AT command, the

Eagle II module responds with one of the following result codes:

! OK signifies that the Eagle II module is ready, that it correctly interprets the AT

command, and that it can execute the command.

! ERROR signifies that the Eagle II module does not understand the command or that

the command is invalid.

App > Eagle AT

Eagle > App OK Command valid: module is ready

The Eagle II module must be in Command mode when any command is entered (with the

exception of the online escape sequence +++). Commands entered when the module is

in Online mode are treated as data, and are transmitted as such to the receiving module.

INTEGRATION AND TEST

The Eagle II module has been designed to minimize the amount of time required for

integrating and testing the application. By being fully GSM Type Approved, the Eagle II

module provides seamless integration into the GSM network.

The integration issues for the application can be narrowed to the utilization of the AT

commands and the use of the GSM functionality. Coverage and signal quality may be

evaluated by using the LED of the on-board status indicator. Additional network

information can be determined by using AT commands.

Using the Eagle II Developer's Kit to Reduce Development Time and Effort

The Eagle II Developer’s Kit can also speed the development and implementation of an

application. This kit provides a platform for the development of an embedded application

and can easily be tailored for custom applications. The kit also provides a significant

amount of pre-developed software intended to speed the development of the application

and to reduce the time required for bringing a new device to market.

For more information on the Eagle II Developer's Kit, refer to the Xircom, Inc. web site on

the Internet: www.omnipoint-tech.com

Integrating the Eagle II Module

Note: Generally, all interfaces that are externally available to the end user need to

be ESD-conditioned 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 Eagle II module.

All of this needs to be verified at ambient as well as extreme conditions.

REGULATIONS AND COMPLIANCE

This section summarizes the responsibilities and actions required of manufacturers and

integrators who incorporate OEM versions of the Eagle II module into their products. In

certain situations and applications these products will require additional FCC, CE, GSM

FTA or other regulatory approvals prior to sale or operation. Appropriate instructions,

documentation and labels are required for all products. For more information concerning

regulatory requirements, please contact Xircom, Inc.

GSM Full Type Approval (FTA)

The Eagle II module is type approved in accordance with the requirements of and

through the procedures set forth by the GSM industry association. The relevant

conformance specification is GSM 11.10-1 version 4.19.1 for GSM 900- and 1800 MHz

devices. For PCS 1900 MHz devices, the relevant standard is PCS 11.10, a version of

GSM 11.10-1 that has been modified as appropriate for the North American GSM market.

For applications that use an unmodified version of the Eagle II module, further testing in

this area may not be required. Any OEM changes in the SIM interface, antenna port,

software or the physical makeup of the unit may require an incremental FTA to ensure

continued compliance with the above-mentioned standards. For more information

concerning type approval, please contact Xircom, Inc.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Safety

Requirements

The Eagle II module has been tested and approved for application in the United States of

America (US) and the European Union (EU). The compliance details for each of these

markets follow. For other markets, additional or alternative regulatory approvals may be

required. Always ensure that all rules and regulations are complied with in every country

that the OEM application is to be operated. Regardless of the country or market, the

OEM must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.

EMC/Safety Requirements for the USA

Compliance to the US rules and regulations falls under two categories:

! Radio approvals: Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

♦ Transmitter: FCC Rules, Part 24

♦ Unintentional emission: FCC Rules, Part 15

! Product safety approvals: NRTL by an OSHA-approved Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory (NRTL)

Although the Eagle II module has been authorized by the FCC and listed as a component

by an NRTL, products and applications that incorporate the Eagle II module will require

final verification of EM emission and product safety approval.

Note: Particular attention should be made to the following statements regarding RF
