    6.5 I/O Signal Connector on the Enfora Enabler II-G Module The Enfora Enabler II-G module communicates with the carrier board of the application via the 60-pin I/O signal connector. The following table describes the pin assignments for the connector, sorted by pin number.

  • Page 26: Circuit Protection

    6.6 Circuit Protection Other than the basic low level ESD protection within the module’s integrated circuits (typically 2000 V), the Enabler II-G does not have any protection against ESD events or other excursions that exceed the specified operating parameters. The only exception is that the remote SIM lines on the main I/O connector do have additional ESD protection that should handle standard human-model contact ESD events.

  • Page 27: Control Connector Signal Descriptions And Functions

    6.8.1 Input Power The Enfora Enabler II-G module uses a single voltage source of VCC=+3.3V to 4.5V. (exact values of the uplink currents are shown in Tables5.3.1 GSM Operating Power and 5.3.2 GPRS Operating Power). The lines (pins 1 to 6) should be connected on the application board.

  • Page 28: Figure 9 Ring Indicate Timing

    Ring Indicate The Enabler II-G module is capable of using the Ring line to discern the type of incoming call. The indicator can be monitored via a hardware line available on the 60 pin I/O signal connector. The Ring Indicator pin is #49.

  • Page 29: Figure 10 External Power Control Signal (No External Processor)

    6.8.4 Using the Power Control Signal Please note that the Power Control Signal is only available on the Quad-Band Enabler II-G module, GSM0108. It is not available on the Triple-Band Enabler II-G module, GSM0107. Figure 9 shows a typical connection to the GSM0108 module in a machine-to-machine application using the external PWR_CTL_SIGNAL solution, where there is no external processor controlling the I/O, serial, or power on/off states.

  • Page 30: Figure 11 External Power Control Signal (Using External Rc Circuit)

    Integration Guide Version 1.01 Figure 10 shows a variation of the connection in Figure 9 External Power Control Signal (no external processor) by using an external RC circuit to generate a pulse that will allow the processor to enter the RTC deep sleep modes. This will keep the PWR_CTL_SIGNAL signal low for at least 50ms during startup.

  • Page 31: Figure 12 Power Control Signal (Using External Processor)

    Integration Guide Version 1.01 Figure 11 shows a typical connection from an external processor to the GSM0108 module, using the external PWR_CTL_SIGNAL solution. The GSM0108 can be powered on by using the PWR_CTL_SIGNAL signal. When using PWR_CTL_SIGNAL, the I/O or serial lines can be at any voltage state desired. It is suggested that the I/O and serial lines be tri-stated or set low when the GSM0108 is shutdown for an extended period of time to conserve power.
