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. It gives the following limitations :

(%)
Annex1 g1 868.0 – 868.6 25 No channel spacing specified 1
Annex7 a 868.6 - 868.7 10 25 1
Annex1 g2 868.7 - 869.2 25 No channel spacing specified 0,1
Annex7 d 869.2 – 869.25 10 25 0.1
Annex7 b 869.25 – 869.3 10 25 0.1
Annex7 e 869.3 – 869.4 10 25 1
Annex1 g3 869.4 - 869.65 500 25 (for 1 or more channels) 10
Annex7 c 869.65 – 869.7 25 25 10
Annex1 g4 869.7 – 870.0 5 No channel spacing specified 100
This band is free to use but the terminal and the user must respect some limitations. Most of these restrictions are
integrated in the conception of the terminal, except the duty cycle. For example, the 869.400 to 869.650 MHz band
is limited to a 10% duty cycle. This means that each terminal is limited to a total transmit time of 6 minutes per
hour. It is the responsibility of the user to respect the duty cycle.
Furthermore, the terminal complies with the ETSI 300-220 (specific for SRD). The main requirements are described
in Appendix 1.
Finally, the terminal complies with the new European Directive 2002/95/EC concerning the Restrictive Usage of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS).

III.2. 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) :
¾TxD, RxD: Serial link signals in RS232 format. TxD is for the data going out of the Modem
while RxD is for the data coming into the Modem. The logic '1' is represented by
signal between –3 and –15V.
¾DTR: Stand-By signal into the Modem. Switches the Modem in Low-Power Mode ('1', -
15V to -3V) or in Normal Mode ('0', +3V to +15V).
¾RS232/485: Used with the S215 Register, selects the type of serial link : open for RS232
(default, internal pull up 100 Kohms), GND for RS422 or RS485. Can be also made
by RS232/485 switch.
¾A, B, Y, Z : RS422/RS485 signals.
For RS422 use A (or Rx+), B (or Rx-), Y (or Tx+) and Z (or Tx-).
For RS485, use only A (or D+) and B (or D-).
¾CTS: Clear To Send: signal into the Modem. Indicates if the Modem can send serial data
to the User (Active on ‘0’, +3V to +15V) or not (Inactive on ‘1’, -15V to -3V).

Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 18 of 47
1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011
¾RTS: 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).
¾6-40V : 6 to 40 VDC power supply. There is no internal ON/OFF switch for the power
supply. The switch off capability should be external.
Internal LED:
- Green: informs about association (blinks when searching for association, stays ON when associated)
- Red: indicates data reception (blinks each 5 seconds when receiving beacon)
Note: In case of the S-One stack green LED indicated transmission.
III.3. Cables Description for IP67 Casing
The associated cable is connected to the terminal blocks of the mother board and goes out of the modem through
a cable gland. The cable must be shielded and have an external diameter between 3.5 and 7mm. The conductors
must have a cross section of 0.22mm² (24AWG).
Possible cable references:

CHAPTER IV.
STANDARD FIRMWARE : DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONALITY
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:
oStandard firmware.; working in transparent or address secured mode..
-M-ONE protocol stack:
oMesh Lite firmware, allowing mesh networking : refer to dedicated manual ([5]) for
detailed explanation.
This Chapter is dedicated to the S-ONE protocol stack.
NOTE: The available memory space on the terminal is limited and for this reason Standard and Telemetry firmware
are available in the separate installation packages.
There are 2 different modes available for S-ONE protocol stack that are described in following paragraphs :
-The configuration mode which allows to parameter the terminal. It is set through the use of Hayes
commands sent on the serial link.
-The operating mode which is the functional use for data transmission
