Lantronix modular transmitter certification can be leveraged without acquiring full re- certification effort in products that use the Lantronix module. The xPico 200 series has modular approval for FCC, IC, EU, Japan, China and Australia/New Zealand. All xPico certificates can be found in the xPico 200 module documentation at https://www.lantronix.com/products/xpico-200/#tab-docs-downloads.
Lantronix recommends adding test points for the serial port to assist with loading the certification test code. The current implementation requires that this data is loaded via the serial interface. It’s recommended to include an option to tristate other devices connected to the serial port line while the manufacturing test loading is in progress.
UART Probe See the evaluation board schematic and artwork for recommended transceiver, DB9, and port connections in the xPico 200 Series Evaluation Kit User Guide. Continuous Mode Software Load To use the module for continuous mode testing for certification, download and load the Wi-Fi continuous mode software.

d. xp200-cmd_teraterm – wifi.bat – the batch file that launches Tera Term and executes the macro. 3. Copy the xPico200_MFG_Test directory to the C:\ drive of your PC. Note: If you copy it to another directory on your PC, you may need to modify the load scripts to point to a different directory.
9. Assert the module default pin and power up the module. The Tera Term window will display the firmware transfer progress. 10. When the firmware has successfully loaded, a Pass Test window will be displayed. Note: In some cases, you may need to reset the Tera Term window after loading the firmware.
Bluetooth Continuous Mode Testing The steps in http://www.cypress.com/file/298091/download describe how to run the Lantronix xPico 200 Bluetooth continuous mode scripts. These scripts are based on the Cypress mybluetool commands for the Cypress processor inside of the xPico 200 module. Running the BT Test Modes To run the BT Test Modes, follow these steps: 1.

BT Test Command Description bt_set_tx_frequency_arm <carrier This test turns on or off the transmitter carrier. On/Off> <tx_frequency> <tx_mode> <tx_modulation_type> <tx_power> carrier on/off: 1: carrier on Cypress equivalent command 0: carrier off mbt tx_frequency_arm tx_frequency can be from 2402 MHz to 2480 MHz tx_mode selects unmodulated or modulated with pattern 0: Unmodulated...

BT Test Command Description bt_radio_tx_test <bd_addr> This command runs the connectionless transmitter <frequency> <modulation_type> test. <logical_channel> <bb_packet_type> <packet_length> <tx_power> bd_addr is the BD_ADDR of Tx device (6 bytes), for example 00112233445566. Cypress equivalent command Frequency can be set to 0 to use a normal Bluetooth hopping sequence or from 2402 MHz to mbt radio_tx_test 2480 MHz to transmit on a specified frequency...

BT Test Command Description bt_radio_rx_test <bd_addr> This test sets the BT radio to receive on a specific <frequency> <modulation_type> frequency and sends reports about received <logical_channel> <bb_packet_type> packets. < packet_length> <test duration> bd_addr is the BD_ADDR for the remote Tx device (6 bytes).

BT Test Command Description bt_le_enhanced_tx_test <tx_channel> This command runs the enhanced LE transmit test. <data_length> <data_pattern> <PHY> tx_channel = receive frequency minus 2402 divided by 2. Cypress equivalent command mbt le_enhanced_transmitter_test Acceptable channels are 0 to 39 where 0 is 2402 Mhz and 39 is 2480 Mhz.

BT Test Command Description bt_connectionless_dut_loopback_mode This command sets up a connectionless loopback COMx test with an external tester for analyzing both RX and TX. Cypress equivalent command Once the connectionless command is entered, the unit will prompt for the interactive arguments below. connectionless_dut_loopback_mode Remote_Device_BD_ADDR: This is the BD_ADDR of the remote transmitting device.
