1.4 MTX 63I/65I Wireless modems in a Communication System
Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate the main blocks of a wireless communication s stem using the wireless
modem. Figure 1 show the communication s stem when a micro-controller is used. The also show the
communication principles of the s stem and the interface between the wireless modem and the
application and Figure 2 shows the communication s stem when the JAVA application is embedded on
the wireless modem. The definitions in the figures, as used elsewhere in this manual, are in
accordance with the recommendations of 3GPP TS 27.007.
The MS (mobile station) represents the wireless modem and SIM card. The wireless modem excluding
SIM card, is known as the ME (mobile equipment).
The DTE (data terminal equipment) is the controlling application. This can be either an external host or
an internal embedded application.
The DCE (data circuit terminating equipment) is the serial communication interface of the MS.
1.5 Main Features and Services
The MTX-63I/65I performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to GSM standard phase 2+, ETSI
and ITU-T. The services and functions of the MTX-63I/65I are implemented b issuing customized
applications embedded on the device, or b AT commands issued internall , or over the RS232 serial
interface.
1.5.1 Ty es of Mobile Station
The MTX-63I/65I is a fully Quad Band capable GSM/GPRS mobile station with the characteristics shown in
the table below.

1.5.2 Short Message Service
The wireless modem supports the following SMS ser ices:
• Sending; MO (mobile-originated) with both PDU (protocol data unit) and text mode supported
• Recei ing; MT (mobile-terminated) with both PDU and text mode supported
• CBM (cell broadcast message); a ser ice in which a message is sent to all subscribers located in one or
more specific cells in the GSM network (for example, traffic reports)
• SMS status report according to 3GPP TS 23.40
The maximum length of a text mode SMS message is 160 characters using 7-bit encoding. The wireless
modem supports up to six concatenated messages to extend this function. Concatenation is performed by
the host application.
1.5.3 Voice Calls
The wireless modem offers the capability of MO (mobile originated) and MT (mobile terminated) oice calls,
as well as supporting emergency calls. Multi-party, call waiting and call di ert features are a ailable. Some
of these features are network operator specific.
For the inter-connection of audio, the wireless modem offers balanced analogue input and output lines. The
wireless modems support HR, FR, EFR and AMR ocoders.
1.5.4 Data
The wireless modem supports the following data protocols:
• GPRS (General Packet Radio Ser ice)
The wireless modem is a Class B terminal. The wireless modem is GPRS multi-slot class10 (4+2)
enabled, capable of recei ing at a maximum of four timeslots per frame (down link), and
transmitting in two timeslots per frame (up link). See section 1.4.5 for multi-slot allocation by class.
• CSD (Circuit Switched Data)

1.5.6 Power Consum tion
The table below briefl summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters.
Normal operation
GSM / GPRS SLEEP
Various power save modes set with AT+C UN command. Software is active
to minimum extent. If the Terminal was registered to the GSM network in
IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too.
Power saving can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP
mode (AT+C UN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes
AT+C UN=7 and 9 alternately activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to
allow permanent access to all AT commands.
GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network paging with BTS is
carried out. The Terminal is ready to send and receive.
GSM TALK
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption
depends on network coverage individual settings, such as DTX off/on,
R/E R/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.
GPRS IDLE
Terminal is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is currently sent or
received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS
configuration (e.g. multislot settings).
GPRS DATA
GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network
settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates, GPRS
configuration (e.g. used multislot settings) and reduction of maximum
output power.
POWER DOWN
Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command, after pressing the ON/O key or after the
activation of the ONO line. The RTC works continuously, but the software is not active. Interfaces are
not accessible.
Airplane mode
Airplane mode shuts down the radio part, causes the Terminal to log off from the GSM/GPRS network
and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection. Airplane mode can be
controlled by the AT commands AT^SC G and AT+CALA: With AT^SC G= MEopMode/Airplane/OnStart
the Terminal can be configured to enter the Airplane mode each time when switched on or reset. The
parameter AT^SC G=MEopMode/Airplane can be used to switch back and forth between Normal mode
and Airplane mode any time during operation. Setting an alarm time with AT+CALA followed by
AT^SMSO wakes the module up into Airplane mode at the scheduled time.
