2 General information

2.1 How to use this document

The target audiences for this document are all categories of software and hardware

developers, system integrators and expert end-users of SIEMENS GSM wireless modules.

The content applies in particular to current users and developers whose applications are

utilizing SIEMENS MC35 for their communications purposes.

The aim of this document is to provide information and offer support in order to facilitate the

transition towards a new generation of SIEMENS wireless modules, MC35i in this case.

Information provided here is based on official technical manuals and released specifications

for MC35 and MC35i. The naming conventions used in this document follow those of source

documentation.

The authors presume the readers are already familiar with the contents of those manuals.

The document presents migration issues in detail using comparison tables between the

modules and covers topics ranging from hardware specifications to AT-command interface.

Technical specifications and interfaces to GSM telecom services are described and

compared in detail as well as all the relevant features. AT-command interface was given

particular attention since it represents the main tool available to developers through which

applications can be controlled. Available commands for both MC35 and MC35i are listed and

classified according to their implementation within each of the modules. Differences in test,

query and execution syntax as well as in available parameters are noted for each command.

Commands are classified in three main groups: jointly supported commands, MC35i

commands that are new with respect to MC35 and MC35i commands not supported by

MC35.

3.2 Certification and standards

Both MC35 and MC35i comply with the same directives and standards.However,

please note that a new R&TTE approval of the host application is required after

migration from MC35 to MC35i.

For further information please consult the HW manual for M35 and MC35i.

4 Hardware migration

This chapter contains information about the hardware design, installation instructions as well

as physical properties for both modules. Hardware features are listed in comparison tables

related to power supply, RF, audio, SIM and serial interfaces with functionality descriptions.

All features, except RF, are available through common host application interface.

4.1 Introduction

MC35i incorporates almost all of the MC35 features like EGSM 900MHz, DCS 1800MHz and

fast GPRS technology with following additional features:

æ Autobauding up to 230kBaud

æ Single side mounted

æ Two additional Sleep Modes

MC35i is super-slim, single-side mounted, compact, dual-band GSM/GPRS OEM module for

integration into industrial or mobile devices. Designed to easily provide radio connection for

voice and data transmission it integrates seamlessly with a wide range of GSM/GPRS

application platforms and is ideally suited to design and set up innovative cellular solutions

with minimum effort.

MC35i and MC35 are supporting GPRS multi-slot class 8 (4 Rx, 1 Tx time-slot) and the

GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. Modules operate in GSM 900MHz and

GSM 1800MHz frequency bands.

4.2 Operating modes

The operating modes for MC35 and MC35i modules are listed in the table below.

The MC35i module supports two additional sleep modes compared to MC35. For

further details please consult the MC35i manual.

The table below shows operating modes overview for both devices.

Table 3: Operating modes

Mode Function MC35 MC35i

GSM / GPRS

SLEEP

Power-save modes set with AT+CFUN

command.

Software is active to minimum extent. If

the module 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+CFUN=0)

disables the AT interface. The two CYCLIC

SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=5 or 6 alternate

activating and deactivating the AT

interface to allow permanent access to all

AT commands.

Software is active to a minimum extent. If the

module was registered to a GSM network in

IDLE mode, it remains, in SLEEP mode,

registered and pageable from the BTS.

Power saving can be chosen at different

levels. The NON_CYCLIC SLEEP mode

(AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The

CYCLIC SLEEP mode AT+CFUN=5, 6, 7

and 8 alternatingly activate and deactivate

the AT interface 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

module 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, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.

GPRS IDLE

Module 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).

Normal

operation

GPRS DATA

GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network settings (e.g.

power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g. used

multislot settings).

POWER

DOWN

Operating voltage is applied. Only a voltage regulator in the Power Supply ASIC is active for

powering the RTC. Software is not active. The serial interface is not accessible.

Alarm mode

Restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in Power Down

mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is

accessible. If application is battery powered: No charging functionality in Alarm mode

(MC35 only)

Charge-only

mode

Limited operation for battery powered

applications. Enables charging while engine

is detached from GSM network. Limited

number of AT commands is accessible.

There are several ways to launch Charge-

only mode:

æ From Power Down mode: Connect

charger to POWER lines when engine was

powered down by AT^SMSO.

æ From Normal mode: Connect charger

to POWER lines, then enter AT^SMSO

Not supported

Charge mode

during normal

operation

Normal operation (SLEEP, IDLE, TALK, GPRS

IDLE, GPRS, DATA) and charging running in

parallel. Charge mode changes to Charge-

only mode when the module is powered

down before charging has been completed.
