BOLERO-LT Hardware Description
Version 1.0.6
5.1.3 Power saving
SLEEP mode reduces the functionality of the modules of the BOLERO-LT device to a
minimum and, thus, minimizes the current consumption to the lowest level. Settings can
be made using the
$PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep
command. For details, see example in
table below.
Following SLEEP modes are supported by the BOLERO-LT device:
Modes
Description
IGN
Device wakes up when IGN (pin 5) changes its digital level from Low to High
(performs a rising edge).
Ring
Device wakes up when the GSM module receives a voice call or an SMS.
Timer
=1:20:00
Device wakes up after the defined time has expired.
Motion
=5,20,20
Device wakes up when motion is detected.
ExtPwrDetect
Device wakes up when external power (higher than 9 V) is connected to the device.
ExtPwrDrop
Device wakes up when external power is disconnected or it drops below 8 V.
DiWu
Device wakes up when ON/OFF button is pressed.
Example
$PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep=
IGN+Ring+Timer
=1:20:00
$PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep=
DiWu
IMPORTANT:
The sleep and wake-up procedures are quite different depending on
the selected sleep mode. Please keep in mind the power saving
with the parameter "
Ring
" works properly only when PIN
authentication has been done and the device is registered in the
GSM network. If you attempt to activate power saving while the
device is not registered in the GSM network, the SIM card is not
inserted or the PIN not correctly entered, the device responds error
"
ring shutdown aborted due to bad GSM coverage
" and the power
saving does not take place. For more details, refer to the manual
"steppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf".
NOTE (for battery powered devices only): The internal battery of the BOLERO-LT must have
enough power to safely wake up the device from a sleep mode. If the internal
battery of the BOLERO-LT device does not have enough power, the device can
not complete the wake up operation.
5.2 Determining the External Equipment Type
Before you connect the serial port pins on the aforementioned terminals (DCE units) to
external equipment, you need to determine if the serial port of the external hardware is
configured as DTE or DCE. The FALCOM BOLERO-LT is designed for use as a DCE. Based
on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the customer
application (DTE) using the following signals:
