  • Page 16: Mechanical Dimensions - Motherboard Mounting

    The 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver is provided with two mounting holes, one at each diagonal corner. The module should be assembled onto the motherboard of the host system, by pushing the module onto matching connectors on the motherboard and then securing the diagonal mounting holes to the motherboard using mechanical fasteners.

    The physical characteristics of the connectors and their electrical interfaces are described in more detail in Sections 3.1.1 and 4.1 respectively. 3 Electrical Interfaces The following subsections contain information for the electrical interfaces of the 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver for the non-RF connections. The RF interfaces are covered in section 0. 3.1 User Connector The user connector provides the following connections to the 9602/9602N module: •...

  • Page 21: User Connector Type

    9602 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide Revision 5` 3.1.1 User Connector Type The connector on the 9602/9602N is a Samtec low-profile header connector, part number FTSH-110-01-L-DV. This connector provides the ability for a stackable board to board configuration, allowing connection to the host system motherboard.
  • Page 22 This view is for illustrative purposes only. This view designation is when looking into the user connector towards the 9602/9602N module. The numbers indicate pin designation. Additionally, on the 9602/9602N PCB, pin 1 on the user connector is indicated on the board silkscreen.

  • Page 23: Dc Power Interface

    The DC power interface is comprised of the DC power inputs and a control signals as summarized in Table 7. The +5V Inputs and 0V supply returns are used to supply DC power to the 9602/9602N and ensure that enough current can be drawn across the connector without the 9602/9602N malfunctioning during transmit due to lack of current supply.

  • Page 24: Power On/Off Control

    3.2.1 Power On/Off Control An external on/off input is provided on a pin of the User connector. The 9602/9602N starts up when power is applied and the power on/off input is high. As long as the input voltage is applied, logic high on this line turns the transceiver on and a logic low turns it off.

  • Page 25: Serial Data Interface

    3.3 Serial Data Interface The Serial data interface is used to both command the 9602/9602N and transfer user data to and from the Transceiver. The 9602/9602N presents a 9-wire data port to the FA (Field Application), where the interface is at 3.3V digital signal levels.
  • Page 26 DCD is driven OFF at all times. Note that the Ring Indicator (RI) pin is used by the 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver to indicate that a Mobile Terminated SBD (MT-SBD) message is queued at the Gateway. The Field Application can monitor this pin and use appropriate AT Commands to command the Transceiver to retrieve the MT-SBD message.

    3.3.4.2 Data Port Outputs The five outputs from the 9602/9602N serial port (DCD, DSR, CTS, RI and RXD) are all at 3.3V digital levels. 3.4 Hardware Failure Reporting If the 9602/9602N detects a hardware problem during initialisation, the 9602/9602N may be unable to function correctly.

  • Page 29: Dc Supply Indicator Output

    3.6 DC Supply Indicator Output A DC supply indicator signal is provided by the 9602/9602N which could be used directly for driving an LED to provide a visible indication that the Transceiver supply is on. Alternatively the output signal could be used in application logic to determine if the internal Transceiver power supply is on.

  • Page 30: Antenna Characteristics

    The GPS receive path is temporarily switched off during transmissions from the 9602/9602N. As long as the 5V supply to the 9602/9602N is connected and the DC voltage on the GPS connector is present, the GPS pass-through path is made available. The GPS path is available even when the 9602/9602N module has been turned off using its ON/OFF control signal.
