16Cisco Connected Grid 3G Module Installation and Configuration GuideOL-25991-01 Hardware OverviewMemory SpecificationsThe memory specifications of the module are listed in Table 14.Module Power StatesThe module has the following power states: • Normal mode (default mode)—Module is active. Receive and Transmit modes are possible. In this state: –The module is fully powered –The module is capable of placing/receiving calls or establishing data connections on the wireless network –The USB interface is fully activeNote The module unit defaults to the Normal state when VCC is first applied. • Low power mode (airplane mode)—The module is active, but RF is disabled. In this state, RF (both Rx and Tx) is disabled on the module, but the USB interface is still active. This state is controlled though the host interface by the following software commands: –+CFUN=0 command (AT Command Set for User Equipment (UE) (Release 6)) –CDMA module: CNS_RADIO_POWER [0x1075] (CDMA CnS Reference (Document 2130754)) –GSM module: CNS_RADIO_POWER [0x1075] (MC87XX Modem CnS Reference (Document 2130602)) –Disable Modem command (MC87XX Modem CnS Reference (Document 2130602))Note The module goes from normal mode into low-power mode to suspend RF activity. This occurs when the module’s supply voltage exceeds either the high or low limits. The module returns to normal mode to resume RF activity. It occurs when the module’s supply voltage returns from critical to normal limits. • Disconnected mode—No power to the module. The host power source is disconnected from the module and all voltages associated with the module are at 0 V.CGR 1120 and CGR 1240 controls the power to the module, therefore the host can stay powered on and cut the power in order to put the module into the disconnected state.Table 14 Specifications to Connect to the SIM Sockets Memory Type Minimum MaximumDDR2 SDRAM 1Gb (128 Mb) NA (1Gb is sufficient for the Linux SDK design and modem firmware upgrade)DDR2 SDRAM for fixed platforms512 Mb (384 Mb for IOS and 128 Mb for the Linux)—

22Cisco Connected Grid 3G Module Installation and Configuration GuideOL-25991-01 Software OverviewUMTS/GSM Data Network OverviewGlobal System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is the most widely used digital mobile phone system and the de facto wireless telephone standard in Europe. It is based on the specification from European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Originally defined as a pan-European open standard for a digital cellular telephone network to support voice, data, text messaging and cross-border roaming. GSM is now one of the world's main 2G digital wireless standards.GSM was primarily designed for voice and was circuit switched, but due to the popularity of cellular networks and the great demand for data services, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) was introduced as a packet-switched data overlay over the GSM radio network. The radio and network resources of GPRS are accessed only when data needs to be transmitted between the GPRS mobile user and the GPRS network. GSM models are based on 3GPP, and they support HSPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) and High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)), UMTS (Universal Mobile Radio Service), EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), and GPRS.GPRS introduced several new network nodes into the GSM architecture for packet switching, they form the Mobile Packet Core. The Mobile Packet Core includes the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and the GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN). The SGSN is the node which, in some ways, carries out the same function as the Foreign Agent in Mobile IP—it tunnels IP packets towards the GGSN and detunnels packets back from the GGSN. It also carries out mobility managed and billing. GGSN is the node that carries out the role in the GPRS equivalent to the Home Agent in Mobile IP. The GGSN provides the connectivity to the IP network and the SGSN, is responsible for IP address assignment, and is the default router for the connected User Equipment (UE).Figure 6 shows a GSM network and the network elements it contains.Figure 6 GSM Network OverviewThe Base Tranceiver Station (BTS) and Base Station Controller (BSC) are located at the Cell site and are the common nodes for both voice and data services. They provide the radio or the physical layer connectivity between the mobile user and the mobile network.

23Cisco Connected Grid 3G Module Installation and Configuration GuideOL-25991-01 Software Overviewsegregated, the voice traffic goes to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), while the data traffic is sent to the GGSN. From the GGSN, the data packets either go directly to the internet or they can be backhauled to the customer data center for a VPN connection. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) evolved from GSM and is a 3G wireless system that delivers high-bandwidth data and voice services to mobile users. UMTS has a new air interface based on Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) and an IP core network based on general-packet radio service (GPRS). The nodes in a UMTS network are almost the same as that of a GSM/GPRS network. BTS and BSC have been renamed to Node B and Radio Network Controller (RNC), respectively.UMTS addresses the growing demand of mobile and Internet applications for new capacity in the overcrowded mobile communications sky. The new network increases transmission speed to 2 Mbps per mobile user and establishes a global roaming standard.UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) (W-CDMA) is standardized by 3GPP and offers the following: • W-CDMA radio access technology, in addition to the existing GSM and GPRS radio access networks. • W-CDMA uses 5 MHz bandwidth radio carriers. Up to 384kb/s initially. Capable of 2 Mb/s, but not offered commercial yet. • HSPA is an upgrade to W-CDMA (includes HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access). –HSDPA:Various categories support up to 10 Mb/s –HSUPA:uplink speed up to 5.76 Mb/sHigh Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is a collection of two mobile protocols—High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)—that extends and improves the performance of existing WCDMA/UMTS protocols. HSDPA and HSUPA provide increased performance by using improved modulation schemes and by refining the protocols by which 3G modem and base stations communicate. These improvements lead to a better utilization of the existing radio bandwidth provided by WCDMA. HSPA improves the end-user experience by increasing peak data rates of up to 14 Mbit/s in the downlink and 5.76 Mbit/s in the uplink. It also reduces latency and provides up to five times more system capacity in the downlink and up to twice as much system capacity in the uplink, reducing the production cost per bit compared to original WCDMA protocols.CDMA Data Network OverviewThe Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a digital cellular network developed to deliver high-speed and improved wireless data service through increased capacity by allowing users to share a band of frequencies. CDMA is being adopted by many administrators for cellular networks due to its greater throughput which is six times that of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA-) or Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)-based systems.A typical CDMA network includes terminal equipment, mobile termination, base transceiver station (BTS), base station controller (BSC), packet data serving node (PDSN), and other data network entities. The PDSN is the interface between a BSC and a internet gateway.A typical CDMA network includes a PDSN and a branch office with the 3G wireless Modular and Fixed Cisco ISRs. The branch office connects to a radio tower and a BTS. The BTS connects to a BSC, which contains a component called the packet control function (PCF). The PCF communicates with the Cisco PDSN for data communication and with the mobile switching center (MSC) for voice.

24Cisco Connected Grid 3G Module Installation and Configuration GuideOL-25991-01 Configuring the ModuleCDMA technology uses spread radio spectrum transmission with concurrent multiple access by dividing the spectrum shared by multiple users by using channels using unique codes. These codes are filtered by the receiver using a correlator that accepts only signals (streams of bits) from the desired code channel. CDMA also employs graceful signal degradation, multipath resistance, inherent frequency diversity, and interference rejection.Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO), also known as 1xEVDO, is a telecommunications standard that employs the use of multiplexing, CDMA, and TDMA. EVDO was standardized by 3GPP2 (3rd-Generation Partnership Project 2), the global 3G wireless standard specification, and has been adopted by many mobile service providers who had been previously using CDMA. 1x EVDO (1x Evolution Data Optimized) supports up to 2.4 Mb/s downlink and 153.6 Kb/s uplink in Revision 0, while Revision A supports 3.1 Mb/s downlink and 1.8 Mb/s uplink. CDMA2000, also known as CDMA2000 1x and as 1xRTT (1 times Radio Transmission Technology), had evolved from IS-95 (cdmaOne), the first CDMA-based digital cellular (2D) standard, with which CDMA2000 is backward-compatible. The suffix 1x means that it uses the same 1.25 MHz bandwidth as IS-95 has always used and supports up to 144 Kb/s, initially. CDMA2000 was standardized by the 3GPP2 committee and is based on the standards of CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 EVDO Rel. 0, CDMA2000 EVDO Rev. A, and CDMA2000 EVDO Rev. B. The Cisco Connected Grid Module—3G EVDO Rev A/0/1xRTT module is based on 3GPP2 and supports the CDMA2000 EVDO Rev A and Rel. 0, and CDMA2000 1x operating standards.Configuring the ModuleThe module is configured using the system software.

See also, Retrieving the Electronic Serial Number, page 41.To convert the ESN number from hexadecimal notation to decimal notation:Step 1 Start with the 8-digit HEX ESN # obtained from the label or using CLI, for example 0x603C9854. This number consists of two parts: • 0x60—Serial number • 3C9854—Manufacturer’s code Step 2 Convert manufacturer’s code to decimal as shown:Hexadecimal 0x60 equals decimal 96. If the decimal value is two digits only, prepend it with a zero to expand it to three digits. Manufacturer’s code is thus 096.Step 3 Convert the serial number to decimal, as shown in the example below:Hexadecimal 0x3C9854 equals decimal 3971156.If decimal value is less than 8 digits, add enough zeros to make it into an 8 digit number. Serial number is thus 03971156.Step 4 To obtain complete 11-digit decimal ESN notation, combine manufacturer code and serial number:Manufacturer code: 096
