Acceptance test requirements
To perform the suggested tests, you require a test system in which to temporarily
install the module, and you must be able to observe the test device’s LED
indicator.
Acceptance test procedure
The following is a suggested acceptance testing procedure using Sierra Wireless’
Watcher software:
Note: You can perform
these tests using appro-
priate AT commands.
Test 1: Check power-up and initialization
1. After installing the module, start the test system.
2. Launch Watcher.
3. Check the LED—If the LED is off, there is a problem with the module or with
the connection to the LED.
Test 2: Check version numbers
1. From Watcher, select Help > About.
2. Verify that the firmware version in the
About window is correct.
3. Close the
About window.
If the module fails either of these tests, or is not recognized by Watcher:
1. Replace the module with one that is known to work correctly and repeat the
tests.
2. If the tests are successful, reinstall the original module and repeat the tests.
If the module still does not work correctly, contact your account manager.
Certification testing
Note: Typically, you need
to pass certification testing
of your device with the
integrated module one
time only.
When you produce a host device with a Sierra Wireless AirPrime embedded
module, you must obtain certifications for the final product from appropriate
regulatory bodies in the jurisdictions where it will be distributed.
Note: The module itself (MC57xx, MC8xxx) has been certified already—only the
integrated device needs certification.
The following are some of the regulatory bodies from which you may require
certification—it is your responsibility to make sure that you obtain all necessary
certifications for your product from these or other groups:
• FCC (Federal Communications Commission—www.fcc.gov)
• Industry Canada (www.ic.gc.ca)
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association—www.csa.ca)
• Factory Mutual (FM Global—www.allendale.com)
