Link Layer The RPM communicates with a PC via a standard communications port and a user supplied RS232 to CMOS level device. For the Pocket PC (PPC) the RPM communicates via the PPC extender port UART. The PPC performs an auto detect and wakeup when an attached modem receives some data and the PPC is in suspend mode.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide______________________Appendix B – SDK NCL-API and Port Server Close Session Applications can call this function to close its session with the VDD. An application should call this function before it terminates if a session was earlier established with the VDD. The reason for this is to ensure that all created MSMQ queues for the client are deleted. This will prevent irrelevant/outdated messages from being posted to inactive MSMQ queues.

Appendix D - Application Development _________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Appendix D - Application Development This section provides comments and advice that can help you develop successful wireless enabled applications for DataTAC systems. Application development for NCL-compliant wireless modem devices is a two-part process. The first step sets up the interface between the host/terminal and the wireless modem.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide__________________________ Appendix D - Application Development Roaming Issues During development, consider how the coverage for your wireless enabled application could be affected by a user moving in and out of the network coverage area. Coverage can be temporarily impacted by moving from one side of a building to another. Coverage can be lost for a longer time by moving beyond the network coverage boundary.
Appendix D - Application Development _________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Conserve battery life when out-of-range When all channels (from both dynamic and static channel lists) are scanned and network contact is not established, the wireless modem enters a scan-delay state. The scan-delay starts at one second and doubles on each scan cycle failure, to a maximum of 255 seconds between scan cycles.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide__________________________ Appendix D - Application Development Inbound SDU Failures Potential SDU inbound failure codes are described below. The list identifies all likely SDU failure responses. The remaining SDU responses that appear in the NCL 1.2 reference manual are not expected to occur within the DataTAC wireless modem. Inbound SDU failure, no response from network The SDU was transmitted, but not acknowledged by the network.
Appendix D - Application Development _________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Outbound SDU Failure Due to the unreliable delivery of RF data packets (and their responses), a client application must consider the possibility of an outbound SDU being delivered to the client, with the transport confirmation of that data packet being lost (RF acknowledgment and/or transport level acknowledgment).
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide__________________________ Appendix D - Application Development Low battery Network contact is dropped when a low battery condition is reached. This occurs at the same time as a battery alert notification event, but after the assertion of the LOWBAT LED that occurs while the battery still has some remaining usable capacity.
Appendix D - Application Development _________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Radio On/Off on Application Command The radio is the primary power-consuming component in the wireless modem card. Use S_RX_CONTROL for very effective control of session-based, user-initiated applications.

DataTAC 5000 networks respond typically in 1.5 Power-Save protocol frame times, or about 96 seconds. Wireless Data Systems Considerations The wireless modems application developer must account for the limitations of a wireless data system to minimize their impact on the user.
Appendix D - Application Development _________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide DataTAC 5000 system is optimised for the transfer of short and medium length messages. Typically, messages up to 512 bytes are transferred across the network as a single data packet. Messages larger than 512 bytes are segmented into 512-byte packets by the DataTAC system before being transmitted over the air. The packets are reassembled before they are delivered to the application.

Appendix E – Message Routing and Migration____________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Appendix E - Message Routing and Migration This section provides a brief overview to message routing across the various releases of DataTAC® systems. As the developer and user communities become more international in scope, successful applications will be distinguished by their portability across existing DataTAC networks.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide_____________________Appendix E – Message Routing and Migration Standard Context Routing (SCR) SCR allows the central host to communicate with hundreds, even thousands of terminals across a single host connection. But the real advantage of using SCR is economic: The host only pays for a single connection to the network, significantly reducing communications cost.
Appendix E – Message Routing and Migration____________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide DataTAC Messaging (DM) DM allows one terminal to communicate with up to ten other terminals by routing a message through the DataTAC system network. As such, DM provides the protocol for basic E-mail functionality. System differences with regard to DM appear mainly as differences in syntax.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide_____________________Appendix E – Message Routing and Migration programming environment to simplify the development of code. If your programming environment doesn’t provide such support, include alternative tables or options for use when localizing. Testing an Application Virtually all public network operators have some testing or certification procedure available to help ensure that your new applications behave appropriately when brought onto the network.
APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense _____________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Appendix F – Guide to Desense When you integrate wireless data radio technology into computing and telemetry devices, you must consider hardware issues related to RF emissions. For example, you must address the technical aspects of enabling a wireless RF device as an integrated peripheral in a host/terminal, such as RF performance and inter-operability with the host/terminal.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide______________________________ APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense Consistent and reliable reception occurs when a safety margin dictated by co-channel rejection is maintained. For example, if the co-channel rejection is 10dB, all unwanted signals must be 10dB below the receiver’s sensitivity level. Some modems and networks have different rejection levels. Use the rejection level appropriate for your modem (typically –10dB).
APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense _____________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Indirectly by recording the emission level from the host/terminal and then calculating the effect on the modem. Directly by using packet error rate testing off air. Testing directly is preferred method because it is more of a system test. The test must be non-intrusive.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide______________________________ APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense over driven by other RF signals, such as FM radio stations. Any spikes that appear might cause desense problems. The indirect method cannot account for characteristics of the data protocol and is less effective. Also, the bandwidth of the noise source is important. If the source is narrow-band, it has less effect than one occupying the entire channel bandwidth.
APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense _____________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Applications by David A Weston. The publisher is Marcel Dekker, Inc. 270 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016. Any well written text on EMI control should cover the design of shielded enclosures. Components of the Shield Design To be effective, the shield design must incorporate: A highly conductive shielded enclosure that encapsulates all of the active circuitry.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide______________________________ APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense Computing devices have many more than one source Each source must be identified and controlled. This identification is at times difficult. The host/terminal and modem must communicate the problem at hand to attempt to correct it. This capability is not supported by the Boomer-III OEM modem.
APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense _____________________________ Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide device if it is within 30 meters of the device, assuming that an emission exists at the channel frequency of the radio. Networks can assist in the desense problem by offering more than one channel frequency at which to operate. If the radio encounters interference on a channel, it can then roam to another.
Boomer-III User Manual & Integrator’s Guide______________________________ APPENDIX F – Guide to Desense The impact of the RF fields from the wireless device transmitter on host/terminal operation The latter consideration is not a significant problem. If RFI is assessed properly, it is usually corrected with little effort and cost. Because of the need for system coverage, the host/terminal EMI interaction with the radio receiver can be a significant and often elusive problem to characterize and correct.
