    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Chapter 3 – Design Considerations Design Consideration When using the Multi-Tech MiniPCIe form factor: Consult your modem’s device guide for device dimensions. With the modem, the Multi-Tech Mini PCIe form factor exceeds the standard Mini PCIe maximum component height for top and bottom. If you need to install components under the module, use taller connectors to avoid conflict.

  • Page 13: Electrostatic Discharge Control

    Take precautions to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling. 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.

  • Page 60: Test Program()

    USING LINUX WITH EV3 DEVICES Test Program() The following simple C program is useful to test the modem issuing an AT command. The program opens the /dev/ttyUSB0 interface and calls the write() and the read() function to send an AT command and receive the subsequent output.
  • Page 61 USING LINUX WITH EV3 DEVICES memset(buf,0,BUFSIZE); write(serialFD, "AT\r" , strlen("AT\r")); sleep(1); read( serialFD, buf, BUFSIZE ); printf("The string is: %s\n", buf); close(serialFD); return 0; The sleep instruction is required because the modem response after issuing the AT command is not immediate, so you need to wait a bit before reading.
