3. IMPORTANT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

3.1 ON_OFF Signal

To conserve power, the Telit module does not automatically start up when power is applied. The baseboard design must supply a

means to assert the ON_OFF signal for the speciﬁed time (at least 5 seconds) and then released to start-up the module. After asserting

the ON_OFF signal, software must wait for 15 seconds before attempting to communicate with the Telit module. To make module

automatically start when power is applied, tie ON/OFF signal to GND permanently. See Telit Hardware User Guide for additional details

regarding the ON_OFF signal.

3.2 Power Supply Requirements

The equipment must be supplied by an external limited power source in compliance with the clause 2.5 of the standard IEC-60950-1.

The module will regularly consume high amounts of current on the Main Power Supply (VCC), up to 2A during active transmits and

receives. The baseboard power supply should be designed to support peak currents up to 2 Amps. A 100uF capacitor should be

placed near the VCC pin on the module to ensure ample energy is available, with a low inductance path to the VCC pin. For example

power supply designs, there are multiple references available. See the Telit Hardware User Guide which has an example of both Linear

and Switching regulator designs.

3.3 Serial Communications

The Telit module can communicate over UART and/or USB. Design should implement one or both serial interfaces to be able to send

commands to the modem.

LTE910XF v6.00 CAT 1 Hardware User Guide JA20-UM-LTE-C1_v6 Page 7 Rev: 02 Date: 09/07/18

3. IMPORTANT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS continued

3.4 Network Connection Status LED

The ON/nSLEEP signal on pin 13 drives the on-board LED indicating network status. By default, the LTE module has this setting disabled.

Use the following commands to enable and save this feature.

First, conﬁgure the GPIO for alternate function:

AT#GPIO = 1,0,2

The modem should respond with:

OK

Next, set the desired LED behavior with this command:

AT#SLED=2,10,10

The modem should respond with:

OK

Finally, commit the changes to non-volatile memory so the setting will persist across power down/power up:

AT#SLEDSAV

The modem should respond with:

OK

LED Status Network Status Indication

Permanently OFF Device OFF or setting disabled (see above)

Permanently ON Searching for Network & Not Registered

Slow Blinking Registered with full service

Permanently ON Call is active (Modem has been registered)

3.5 FOTA

See Janus Application Note 117 – FOTA (Firmware Over The Air)

The certiﬁcation of the following devices for use on the Verizon Wireless network REQUIRES that the end user

implement an automated FOTA procedure on their devices that would allow the cellular module ﬁrmware to be up-

dated if required:

LTE910CF V3.0 LTE910XF V6.0

LTE910CF V6.0 LTE910XF V8.0

LTE910CF V11.0 LTE910XF V11.0

Failure to implement an automated FOTA procedure violates the certiﬁcation requirements of the cellular modem

and may result in units becoming unusable on the cellular network in the future. Your end device must support the

ﬁrmware over the air update for the cellular modem

You may use your own FOTA system to update the cellular modem ﬁrmware over the air. You may also be able to

use the Verizon Wireless FOTA system, and FOTA services may be available from other 3rd party vendors.

To inquire about Verizon Wireless FOTA system information and technical speciﬁcations,

contact VZW.FOTA-Services@VerizonWireless.com

4. MOUNTING GUIDELINES

The LTE910XF embedded cellular modem supports multiple connection methods, the two primary methods are board to board

connectors and soldering directly to the baseboard.

4.1 Board to Board connectors approach

The Standard Industry 20-pin form factor calls for two, 10 pin, 2mm pitch female receptacles.

There are many connector manufacturers that can be used; below is one readily available product:

Manufacturer: 3M Alternate: Sullins Connector Solutions

Part Number: 950510-6102-AR Alternate P/N: NPPN101BFCN-RC

Typical part drawing and footprint information:

4. MOUNTING GUIDELINES continued

4.2 Solder to Board Connection Approach

The module can be soldered directly to a PCB. The PCB should be designed with two rows of ten, 0.8mm plated thru holes spaced

2mm apart. The two rows should be 22mm apart. See drawing for recommended footprint. U.FL locations are marked with circles, P1

and P2 on top side of board, P4 is Micro SIM card connector on bottom side of board.
