CHAPTER II. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS II.1. General Requirements The M868-TinyPlus terminal is a multi channel radio modem, delivering up to 25 mW in the 868 MHz ISM band (unlicensed frequency band). It allows ‘point-to-point’, `multipoint’ or ‘mesh’ functioning modes. The “ERC recommendation 70-03” describes the different usable sub-bands in the 868 MHz license free band, in terms of bandwidth, maximum power, duty cycle and channel spacing.

Connections • IP67 casing The terminal will communicate with the host through a cable connected to terminal blocks on the mother board inside the casing (orange part on the following drawing) : TxD, RxD: Serial link signals in RS232 format.
TinyOne Plus 868MHz Terminal User Guide 1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011 RTS: Request To Send: signal going out of the Modem. Indicates that the user can transmit serial data (Active on ‘0’, +3V to +15V) or not (Inactive on ‘1’, -15V to -3V). This signal switches when the serial reception buffer's filling rate reaches a programmable threshold (S218) or when the user finished transmitting serial data (out on Time-Out).

Telit terminals and boards are provided with an embedded software which allows to choose between different communication protocols and to play on numerous parameters. M868-TinyPlus terminal is available with the following firmwares : - S-ONE protocol stack: o Standard firmware.; working in transparent or address secured mode..
‘AT Mode’. In this case only, the escape code (‘+++’) must be started and followed by a silent time at least equal to the serial time out. In this case only <AT> and <CR> shall not be used. Below is the complete list of the ‘AT’ commands available on the M868-TinyPlus terminal. Command...

ATSn? Some registers are standard for every Telit terminals while others are specific to some products.
14/01/2011 IV.2. Operating Mode There are 4 communication protocols available on the M868-TinyPlus terminal : - Transparent mode : this is the default communication protocol of the terminal. The terminal transmits the data transparently, without encapsulation or addressing. It acts as a half duplex wired serial link (type RS485).

TinyOne Plus 868MHz Terminal User Guide 1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011 IV.3. Registers Detailed Use The parameters to be configured via Hayes mode are stored in the terminal permanent memory, called S registers. Those registers are always listed as follow: S20x registers correspond to the radio parameters S21x registers correspond to the serial parameters S22x registers correspond to the operating parameters S24x registers correspond to the stand by parameters...

Terminals must be on the same channel to communicate. The default value for this register is S200=0 If more than one group of M868-TinyPlus have to be present in the same area, each must be set to a different radio channel to be able to communicate without interference from the other groups.

Set the serial link type : S215, Set the flow control type : S216, After each modification in the serial settings, the M868-TinyPlus will answer ‘OK’ with the current configuration, and the changes will be effective immediately after. The Serial parameters are preferably set in the following order : 1.
Page 29
2. Serial timeout : S214 The M868-TinyPlus is not able to know when a frame reception is finished on the serial link, but it needs this information to stop radio transmission in transparent mode, or to start sending data in the other modes.
Page 30
The other way will be controlled by the CTS signal entering the terminal. Software or Xon/Xoff (S216=1) : the M868-TinyPlus sends a Xoff character on the serial link to interrupt the transmission from the host, and a Xon character to resume. This control will only work from the M868- TinyPlus to the host.

TinyOne Plus 868MHz Terminal User Guide 1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011 Network Configuration The configuration to use the M868-TinyPlus in Addressed Secured mode is done with the S25x registers. Through them, you can: Set the Network ID : S250, Set the Client Address : S252, Set the Network options : S255, Set a default address for transmission : S256.

14/01/2011 IV.6. Modems reflashing M868-TinyPlus terminals are re-flashable through the serial link. To reflash the modem, switch off the power supply, open the casing, put the “PROG” switch on “ON” position, and switch on the power supply. Then, a specific software tool “TinyTools” is necessary. Refer to its user manual ([4]) for detailed explanation.
TinyOne Plus 868MHz Terminal User Guide 1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011 IV.7. Configuration and Download Over The Air (DOTA) TinyPlus terminal includes the new DOTA functionality. This function is able to change or update the firmware of a remote terminal, using a local terminal. In this application, the new firmware is sent through the radio link to another device without the need of any hardware intervention on the remote device.
TinyOne Plus 868MHz Terminal User Guide 1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011 CHAPTER V. ANNEXES V.1. Modems’ Installation: Principles and cautions You must use the power supply and serial cable provided by Telit with the modem. Take care of the polarity for the power supply connection (red wire +Vcc, black wire GND). The ON/OFF switching capability of the power supply is external to the modem.
14/01/2011 V.2. Connection to a RS422 or RS485 interface M868-TinyPlus terminal is configured in RS232 mode by default : it allows to directly connect it on a PC serial port. To configure the terminal in RS422 or RS485 mode : Go to Hayes Mode and configure S215 Register : set to '2' for RS485 and to '1' for RS422.
