Note: All AirPrime embedded modules are factory-tested to ensure they
conform to published product specifications.
Developers of OEM devices integrating Sierra Wireless AirPrime
embedded modules should include a series of test phases in their
manufacturing process to make sure that their devices work properly
with the embedded modules.
Suggested phases include:
•
Acceptance testing
— Testing of modules when they are received
from Sierra Wireless
•
Certification testing
— Testing of completed devices to obtain
required certifications before beginning mass production
•
Production testing
— Testing of completed devices with the
modules embedded
•
Quality assurance testing

requirement
Some AT commands require time to process before additional
commands are entered. For example, the modem will return "OK"
AT!DAFTMACT
when it receives
too soon after this, the modem will return an error.
When building automated test scripts, ensure that sufficient delays
are embedded where necessary to avoid these errors.
Acceptance testing
Note: Acceptance testing is typically performed for each shipment received.
When you receive a shipment from Sierra Wireless, you should make
sure it is suitable before beginning production.
From a random sampling of units, test that:
•
Units are operational
•
Units are loaded with the correct firmware version
