INSTALLING GATEWAYS ON THE DEVELOPER BOARD Chapter 2 – Installing Gateways on the Developer Board Installing Gateways on the Developer Board These topics describe how to install gateways on the developer board. You can install a Multi-Connect OCG-E gateway or, optionally, a universal socket communications device. Installing a MultiConnect OCG-E Gateway onto the Board To install a MultiConnect OCG-E gateway: Align the 80-pin connector on the bottom of the gateway with the 80-pin connector on the developer...
INSTALLING GATEWAYS ON THE DEVELOPER BOARD If you are installing a MultiConnect OCG-E gateway with a cellular wireless network, connect the cellular antenna lead to the antenna connector on the MultiConnect OCG-E gateway. If you are installing a MultiConnect OCG-E gateway with a GPS receiver, first connect the cellular antenna lead to the cellular antenna connector on the gateway, then connect the GPS antenna lead to the GPS antenna connector on the gateway.

TROUBLESHOOTING Chapter 3 – Troubleshooting Restoring the U-Boot Memory or the Bootstrap Memory If the U-boot memory or the bootstrap memory becomes corrupted, you can restore either of them. Before You Begin You need to short out a resistor to run internal boot code instead of code in bootstrap or u-boot memory. To do this, find some tweezers that fit around the resistor.
TROUBLESHOOTING Installing Atmel SAM-BA Utility This topic describes how to restore memory by using the Atmel SAM-BA utility, connecting with the hardware, mounting the serial driver and restoring the bootstrap memory or u-boot memory. If you have not already done so, download the Atmel SAM-BA utility and unzip the utility package onto your Linux development system: http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMELSAM-BAIN- SYSTEMPROGRAMMER.aspx Connect the USB cable between Linux system and the MTEOCG hardware.

TROUBLESHOOTING kernel: cdc_acm: v0.26:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters To connect to your board, use /dev/ttyACMX. Using the Atmel SAM-BA utility to restore memory To run the utility, type: # ./sam-ba Select your board at91sam9g20-ek and click Connect. Select NandFlash.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Chapter 4 – Design Considerations Noise Suppression Design Adhere to engineering noise-suppression practices when designing a printed circuit board (PCB). Noise suppression is essential to the proper operation and performance of the modem and surrounding equipment. Any OEM board design must consider both on-board and off-board generated noise that can affect digital signal processing.
Technical Requirements (grounding/bonding systems, personnel grooming, protected areas, packaging, marking, equipment, and handling), and Sensitivity Testing. MultiTech strives to follow these recommendations. Input protection circuitry is incorporated in MultiTech devices to minimize the effect of static buildup. Take precautions to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling.
Page 36
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS MultiTech uses and recommends that others use anti-static boxes that create a faraday cage (packaging designed to exclude electromagnetic fields). MultiTech recommends that you use our packaging when returning a product and when you ship your products to your customers.
OEM INTEGRATION Chapter 5 – OEM Integration FCC Grant Notes The OEM should follow all the grant notes listed below. Otherwise, further testing and device approvals may be necessary. The antenna gain, including cable loss, for the radio you are incorporating into your product design must not exceed the requirements at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz as specified by the FCC grant for mobile operations and fixed mounted operations as defined in 2.1091 and 1.1307 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
OEM INTEGRATION Mobile: (§2.1091) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.
CELLULAR INFORMATION Chapter 6 – Cellular Information Antenna System Cellular Devices The cellular/wireless performance depends on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early so the performance is not compromised.
CELLULAR INFORMATION Category Description TRP/TIS Including cable loss the total radiate power (TRP) at the antenna can be no less than +22/24.5 dBm for 850/1900 MHz respectively, and the total isotropic sensitivity (TIS) at the antenna can be no less than -99/101.5 dBm for 850/1900 MHz respectively. SMA-to-UFL and RSMA-to-UFL Coaxial Cables Your product includes the following cables: Two SMA-to-UFL cables.
