 * Actual RF range performance is subject to a number of installation-specific variables including, but not
   restricted to ambient temperature, relative humidity, presence of active interference sources, line-of-sight
   obstacles, near-presence of objects (for example, trees, walls, signage, and so on) that may induce
   multipath fading. As a result, actual performance varies for each instance.

 * The M2x40 can accommodate the following RF mating connectors:
   • MMCX straight connector such as Johnson 135-3402-001, or equivalent
   • MMCX right angle connector such as Tyco 1408149-1, or equivalent
When the mote is placed inside an enclosure, the antenna should be mounted such that the radiating portion of the antenna
protrudes from the enclosure. The antenna should be connected using a MMCX connector on a coaxial cable. For optimum
performance, allow the antenna to be positioned vertically when installed.

7.0               Mote Boot Up
7.1               Power-on Sequence
The M2x40 mote has internal power-on-reset circuits that ensure that the mote will properly boot. However, for the power-
on-reset circuitry to function properly, the external power supply must meet the timing shown in Figure 1 and specified in
Table 10.




Figure 1     External Power Supply Timing Requirement
The following reset sequence (shown in Figure 2 and specified in Table 10) is required for external power supplies that fail to
meet the requirement above.

Upon M2x40 power up, the MT_CTS

packet. Note that full handshake (see section 8.3.2) is in effect and is required to receive this packet.

8.1                            Timestamps
The M2x40 has the ability to deliver network-wide synchronized timestamps. The M2x40 sends a time packet (as described
in Error! Reference source not found.) through its serial interface when one of the following occurs:
    •      Mote receives an HDLC Get Parameter request for time/state (see Error! Reference source not found.)
    •                         ¯¯¯¯ signal is activated
           On the M2x40, mote TIME
     ¯¯¯¯ pin is optional and has the advantage of being more accurate. The value of the timestamp is taken within
The TIME
approximately 1 ms of receiving a TIME¯¯¯¯ signal activation. If the HDLC request is used, because of packet processing, the
value of the timestamp may be captured several milliseconds after receipt of the packet. The real time delivered to the sensor
processor is relative to the real time clock on the Manager, which serves as the Network Real Time Clock (NRTC). The time
stamp skew across the network is guaranteed to be within ±250 ms of the NRTC.

When the time pin is activated for at least min_strobe_length (see Error! Reference source not found.), the mote responds
by sending the time packet within 100 ms delay.

8.3.1               Serial Interface Overview
The M2x40 offers a well-defined five-signal serial interface that is optimized for low-powered embedded applications. This
                                                                                                     ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ , MT_CTS
serial interface offers a serial port comprised of the data pins (TX, RX) as well as handshake pins (MT_RTS    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ,
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
SP_CTS) used for bidirectional flow control. Through this port, the M2x40 provides a means of transmitting and receiving
serial data through the wireless network, as well as a command interface that provides synchronized time stamping, local
configuration, and diagnostics.
The serial handshake provides for flow control of packets transmitted via the M2x40 serial interface. Packet delineation and
error control are handled separately. The handshake supports the following:
•     Full-duplex communication
•     Bidirectional byte-level flow control
                                                                                                  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ,MT_CTS
The five-signal serial port is comprised of the data pins (TX, RX) as well as the handshake pins (MT_RTS   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ,
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
SP_CTS) used for bidirectional flow control. This port supports 9600 bps operation in full-duplex mode. The handshake
signals are active low.

Figure 8         CTS Byte-level Flow Control Timing


M2x40 Mote Datasheet                         Dust Networks™                                                            13

Timeouts T1, T2, and T3 are defined as follows (refer to Error! Reference source not found. for values):
 T1: interbyte_timeout—Maximum time between the transmit module sending a byte and the receiving module
   acknowledging the byte using CTS (requests the next byte).
 T2: interpacket_delay—For communications into the mote, the minimum time after the mote receives the last byte of a
   packet before it can start receiving the next packet. For communications out of the mote, the minimum time between the
                                                                                                  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ to request to send
   mote receiving acknowledgement of the last byte reception (or timeout) and the mote driving MT_RTS
   another packet.
 T3: min_strobe_length—The minimum length of time that CTS must be held active to be recognized by the receiver.
                                                                                                             ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is
In idle mode or upon expiration of the interbyte_timeout, the transmit side treats CTS as level triggered (MT_RTS
disregarded in case of local serial packets). After transfer of the first byte of a packet, the meaning of CTS signal is changed
to a byte acknowledgement strobe, active on a falling edge. In other words, CTS becomes a request signal for the next byte of
a packet. This acknowledgement strobe will occur for all packets (both local and network packets). Whenever timeouts T1 or
T2 occur, the packet is discarded and both sides switch to idle mode and start hunting for the next HDLC packet, assuming
CTS active low. If a packet is transferred completely, the interbyte_timeout after the last byte naturally takes care of
switching to idle mode.

8.3.2.2      Data Flow Out of the Mote Serial Port
Figure 9 illustrates the process that the mote uses to transmit serial data:
1. The mote ensures the interpacket_delay time has passed since the last transmission.
2.                   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ to active, waits for a falling edge on ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
     The mote drives MT_RTS                                         SP_CTS. Timeout is defined as ack_delay (see Error!
     Reference source not found.), and is long enough to handle the worst-case response.
3.   If the mote times out before the ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯                                  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ to inactive and drops the packet.
                                      SP_CTS becomes active, the mote restores MT_RTS
4.   If ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
        SP_CTS is active, then the mote transmits the first byte and follows the CTS byte-level handshaking rules for
     subsequent bytes.
5.   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is restored to inactive after the ack_delay timeout has expired.
