SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 1.3 DTE connector The DTE connector is a 20-pin pass-through connector. This connector allows the pin to enter the connector from the bottom side and protrude thru the module PCB to the top side, allowing flexible mounting heights with various pin lengths. Entry from bottom of device, see picture below. Figure 1. Side view of the module with 1.27mm pitch connector and screw fixing. Figure 2. Pin numbering of 1.27 mm pitch DTE connector.
SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 1.4 Pin order of the DTE connector Direction IN is data from DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to the radio transceiver module. Direction OUT is data from the radio module to the DTE. Pin No.

SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 3 CHANGING PARAMETERS USING SL COMMANDS The controlling terminal device can change the configuration settings of the module. This is accomplished with the help of SL commands. SL commands can be used to change e.g. the frequency or addresses. It is also possible to ask the radio transceiver module to show current settings which are in use. 3.
SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 To enable the SL Commands: Send three “+” characters via serial port so that there is at least three bytes delay between each character. The response is “OK”, when successfully set. <+><+><+> To disable the SL Commands: Send three “-” characters via serial port so that there is at least three bytes delay between each character. The response is “OK”, when successfully set.
SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 4 OPERATING MODES The radio transceiver module has the following modes of operation: Mode Function Description Ready to receive from RF Search for sync Module is searching for the start of a radio transmission from the RF signal. The module has found a valid radio transmission and is receiving data. The module transmits Mode is entered when a fault has been detected and the device has been Rebooted.
SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 4.3 Sleep Mode When being in sleep mode, the radio part of the module is switched off while the serial interface communication related parts remain powered on. The module will be automatically woken up after the CPU senses a state change in the TD1 pin. Example: The module is in Sleep1- mode. The module is woken up by sending a character or characters into the TD1 pin after which the module responses “OK”.
SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 Transmission interval study is started over always after 100 successful sleep/wake-up cycles and, if the expected receiving slot (tRX slot) with enhanced overlap margin (toverlap) has been missed. In latter case the package is considered to be lost. toverlap = tmarg + 100 ms tRX slot, min = tmin - tmarg tRX slot, max = tmin + toverlap tTX tRX slot tmin tsleep tmarg toverlap t 0 Figure 4.

Time (* Explanation Tvic >50µs When voltage is applied to VCC_IN the filter Input capacitor charge time capacitors inside the module are charged, creating a small current surge. If the feeding power supply is not very strong it is recommended to wait this time before rising ENA_MOD to minimize current surge.

SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 5.3 Stat pin The STAT pin indicates the status of the device. It can be used to drive a LED using a series resistor. STAT pin drive capability is 10mA (loads the VCC_IO). The STAT pin has the following behavior. Blink cycle Mode “1” - statically “0” for the endurance of the received frame. module is operational “searching for a new frame” “0” when module is receiving data from air interface.

SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 8 CONSIDERATIONS 8.1 EMI Interferers The module is designed to be mounted inside a host device. The module is designed to withstand EMI even beyond type approval requirements. However, a small module which is integrated closely to modern high speed electronics is bound to receive some interference.
SATELLINE-M3-TR3 and –TR4 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 8.2 Electrostatic discharge As the module is intended to be embedded in a host application, in a typical use case, the antenna port is the only port of the module directly interface with a surface or contact area subjected to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Thus, the antenna port is the only interface with high level ESD protection.
