C: Testing
Note: All AirPrime embedded modules are factory-tested to ensure they
conform to published product specifications.
Developers of OEM devices integrating Sierra Wireless AirPrime
embedded modules should include a series of test phases in their
manufacturing process to make sure that
their
devices work properly
with the embedded modules.
Suggested phases include:
•
— Testing of modules when they are received
from Sierra Wireless
•
— Testing of completed devices to obtain
required certifications before beginning mass production
•
— Testing of completed devices with the
modules embedded
•
— Post-production
AT command entry timing
requirement
Some AT commands require time to process before additional
commands are entered. For example, the modem will return “OK”
when it receives
AT!DAFTMACT
. However, if
AT!DASBAND
is received
too soon after this, the modem will return an error.
When building automated test scripts, ensure that sufficient delays
are embedded where necessary to avoid these errors.
Acceptance testing
Note: Acceptance testing is typically performed for each shipment received.
When you receive a shipment from Sierra Wireless, you should make
sure it is suitable before beginning production.
From a random sampling of units, test that:
•
Units are operational
•
Units are loaded with the correct firmware version
