System features
1.14.1
Network indication
Network status indication over
GPIO1
is not available on MPCI-L1 series modules. However, MPCI-L1
features the
LED_WWAN#
active-low open drain output to provide the cellular status indication as
specified by the
PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification
[15], the indicator protocol
implemented is described below.
Network Indication feature is disabled by default, but it can be enabled with AT+UGPIOC command. When the
feature is enabled,
GPIO1
(pin 21) can be used as LED outputs to show the network status as described below:
•
No service (not registered on a network): On for 250 ms. Repeats every 5 seconds.
•
In service (registered on LTE network): Continuously On
•
Tx/Rx data transmission: Blinks in 100 ms cycles, for a minimum of 5 cycles. It will blink continuously if the
device continuously receives data.
•
Roaming: Blinks twice at 250 ms cycles, then continuously on.
Note: Only
GPIO1
(pin 21) can be used with AT+UGPIOC command. For the details, please refer to
TOBY-L1 /
MPCI-L1 series AT Commands Manual
[2].
1.14.2
Power saving
The power saving configuration is by default disabled, but it can be enabled using the AT+UPSV command (for
the complete description of the AT+UPSV command, refer to the
TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 series AT Commands
Manual
When power saving is enabled, the module automatically enters the low power idle-mode whenever possible,
reducing current consumption (refer to chapter 1.5.1.3,
TOBY-L1 series Data Sheet
[1], and
MPCI-L1 series Data
During the low power idle-mode, the module is not ready to communicate with an external device by means of
the USB interface, since it is configured to reduce power consumption. The module wakes up from the low
power idle-mode to the active-mode in these events:
•
Automatic periodic monitoring of the paging channel for the reception of the paging block sent by the base
station according to network conditions (refer to chapter 1.5.1.3)
•
The connected USB host forces a remote wakeup of the module as USB device (refer to chapter 1.9.1.3)
For the definition and the description of TOBY-L1 and MPCI-L1 series operating modes, including the events
forcing transitions between the different operating modes, refer to the chapter 1.4.
