Overview
The Fastrack Supreme 10 and Fastrack Supreme 20 are discrete, rugged cellular Plug
& Play Wireless CPU® offering state-of-the-art GSM/GPRS (and EGPRS for Fastrack
Supreme 20) connectivity for machine to machine applications.
Proven for reliable, stable performance on wireless networks worldwide, Wavecom’s
latest generation of Fastrack Supreme continues to deliver rapid time to market and
painless integration.
Having comparable size with the previous M1306B generation, and updated with
new features, the Fastrack Supreme offers an Internal Expansion Socket (IES)
interface accessible for customer use. Expanding application features is easy without
voiding the warrantee of the Fastrack Supreme by simply plugging in of an Internal
Expansion Socket Module (IESM) board.
Fully certified, the quad band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Fastrack Supreme 10 offers
GPRS Class 10 capability and Fastrack Supreme 20 offers GPRS/EGPRS Class 10
capability. Both support a powerful open software platform (Open AT®). Open AT® is
the world’s most comprehensive cellular development environment, which allows
embedded standard ANSI C applications to be natively executed directly on the
Wireless CPU®.
Fastrack Supreme is controlled by firmware through a set of AT commands.
This document describes the Fastrack Supreme and gives information on the
following topics:
• general presentation,
• functional description,
• basic services available,
• technical characteristics,
• installing and using the Fastrack Supreme,
• user-level troubleshooting.

For further information on these AT commands and their associated parameters,
refer to "AT Commands Interface Guide" [7].
5.1.5 Reset the Fastrack Supreme
To reset the Fastrack Supreme, a hardware reset signal is available on pin 14 of the
Sub HD 15-pin connector (RESET).
The Fastrack Supreme reset is carried out when this pin is low for at least 200 μs.
Warning This signal has to be considered as an emergency reset only. For further
details on the Fastrack Supreme reset, refer to Section 7.7.
5.2 Specific Recommendations when Using the Fastrack
Supreme on Trucks
Warning: The power supply connection of the Fastrack Supreme must NEVER be
directly connected to the truck battery.
5.2.1 Recommended Power Supply Connection on Trucks
All trucks have a circuit breaker on the exterior of the cabin. The circuit breaker is
used for safety reasons: if a fire blazes in the trucks, (for example, on the wiring
trunk) the driver may cut the current source to avoid any damage (explosion). The
circuit breaker is connected to the truck ground, most often associated with the fuse
box.
Most of truck circuit breakers do not cut the Positive Supply line of the battery, but
cut the ground line of the later.

Figure 15: Recommended power supply connection on trucks
Figure 15 gives the recommended power supply connection where the ground
connection of the Fastrack Supreme is not directly connected to the battery but is
connected after the Circuit Breaker (on the truck ground or the fuse box).
5.2.2 Technical Constraints on Trucks
It is highly not recommended to connect directly the power supply on the battery
rather than on the circuit breaker. The Fastrack Supreme may be damaged when
starting the truck if the circuit breaker is switched OFF (in this case, the truck ground
and the battery ground will be connected through the Fastrack Supreme as shown in
the Figure 16).

Supreme
Figure 16: Example of electrical connection which may dramatically damage the
Fastrack Supreme
Figure 16 gives an example of electrical connection which may dramatically damage
the Fastrack Supreme when its ground connection is directly connected to the battery
ground.
In this example, when the circuit breaker is switched OFF, the current flows through
the Fastrack Supreme and powers the electrical circuit of the truck (for example,
dashboard).
Furthermore, when the Starter Engine command will be used, it will destroy the
cables or the Fastrack Supreme.
Since the internal tracks are not designed to support high current (up to 60 A when
starting the truck), they will be destroyed.
5.3 Fastrack Supreme Operational Status
The Fastrack Supreme operational status is given by the red LED status located next
to the SIM connector on the Fastrack Supreme panel.
The Table 5 below gives the meaning of the various statuses available.

power consumption. For detail, please refer to Section 7.10.
5.4 Echo Function Disabled
If no echo is displayed when entering an AT command, that means:
• The "local echo" parameter of your communication software (such as
HyperTerminal) is disabled.
• The Fastrack Supreme echo function is disabled.
To enable the Fastrack Supreme echo function, enter the ATE1.
When sending AT commands to the Fastrack Supreme by using a communication
software, it is recommended:
• to disable the "local echo" parameter of your communication software (such as
HyperTerminal),
• to enable the Fastrack Supreme echo function (ATE1 command).
In a Machine To Machine communication with the Fastrack Supreme, it is
recommended to disable the Fastrack Supreme echo function (ATE0 command) in
order to avoid useless CPU processing.
For further information on ATE0 and ATE1 commands, refer to "AT Commands
Interface Guide" [7].

7.2 EU and US Bands
7.2.1 General Presentation
The Fastrack Supreme is a quad band Plug & Play. It supports either EU bands
(EGSM900/DCS1800) or US bands (GSM850/ PCS1900), depending on the band
setting within the Plug & Play. Users are free to switch between EU bands and US
bands by simple AT commands when the selected bands are supported.
7.2.2 AT COMMAND for Bands Switch
EU/US band is easily switched/checked by AT command AT+WMBS.
For detail, please refer to Section 5.7 and 5.8.
7.3 Power Supply
7.3.1 General Presentation
The Fastrack Supreme is supplied by an external DC voltage (V+BATTERY) from +5.5
V to +32 V at 2.2 A.
Main regulation is made with an internal DC/DC converter in order to supply all the
internal functions with a DC voltage.
Correct operation of the Fastrack Supreme in communication mode is not guaranteed
if input voltage (V+BATTERY) falls below 5.5 V.
Note: The minimum input voltage specified here is at the Fastrack Supreme input. Be
careful of the input voltage decrease caused by the power cable. See paragraph 8.2.1
for more information.
7.3.2 Protections
The Fastrack Supreme is protected by a 800 mA / 250 V fuse directly bonded on the

7.4 RS232 Serial Link
7.4.1 General Presentation
The RS232 interface performs the voltage level adaptation (V24/CMOS ⇔ V24/V28)
between the internal Fastrack Supreme Plug & Play (DCE) and the external world
(DTE).
The RS232 interface is internally protected (by ESD protection) against electrostatic
surges on the RS232 lines.
Filtering guarantees:
• EMI/RFI protection in input and output,
• Signal smoothing.
Signals available on the RS232 serial link are:
• TX data (CT103/TX),
• RX data (CT104/RX),
• Request To Send (CT105/RTS),
• Clear To Send (CT106/CTS),
• Data Terminal Ready (CT108-2/DTR),
• Data Set Ready (CT107/DSR),
• Data Carrier Detect (CT109/DCD),

WA_DEV_Fastrk_UGD_001-004 February 5, 2008
Recommendation:
The Fastrack Supreme is designed to operate using all the serial interface signals. In
particular, it is recommended to use CRST/CT 105 and CCTS/CT 106 for hardware
flow control in order to avoid data corruption during transmission.
The Fastrack Supreme also implements the Serial Port Auto Shut Down feature with
the help of DTR signal. It is recommended to use CDTR/CT108-2 signal to benefit the
current consumption improvement achieved by this feature.
For use with 5-wire serial interface:
Signal: CTXD/CT103, CRXD/CT104, CRST/CT105, CCTS/CT106, CDTR/CT108-2
The signal CDTR/CT108-2 must be managed following the V24 protocol signaling if
we want to use the slow idle mode and Serial Port Auto Shut down feature.
For use with 4-wire serial interface:
Signal: CTXD/CT103, CRXD/CT104, CRST/CT105, CCTS/CT106
For use with 2-wire serial interface:
Signal: CTXD/CT103, CRXD/CT104
This case is possible, but not recommended.
The flow control mechanism must be managed at the customer end.
The signals CRXD/CT104, CRST/CT105 are not used, please configure the AT
command (AT+IFC=0,0).
Please refer to document [7] AT commands interface Guide for FW v6.63.
7.4.2 Autobauding Mode
The autobauding mode allows the Fastrack Supreme to detect the baud rate used by
the DTE connected to the RS232 serial link.
Autobauding mode is controlled by AT commands. See "AT Commands Interface
Guide" [7] for details on this function.

7.4.4 Serial Port Auto shut down Feature
The UART1 can be shut down when there is no activity between the DTE and the
Fastrack Supreme Plug & Play. This can help for improving power consumption
performance.
Serial Port Auto shut down feature is easily controlled by AT command AT+WASR.
AT+WASR=1 for entering the serial port auto shut down mode
AT+WASR=0 for exiting the serial port auto shut down mode
Refer to "AT Commands Interface Guide" [7] for further information on AT commands.
Caution:
GPIO24 is reserved for serial port auto shut down feature. It is prohibited for
customer use. Improper access to GPIO24 by customer may lead to unexpected
behavior on serial port performance.
It is prohibited to use serial port auto shut down feature when the CDTR/CT108-2 is
not used in the application. Otherwise, there will be data lost from DTE side to
Fastrack Supreme.

7.5 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
The Fastrack Supreme provides two General Purpose Input / Output lines available for
external use: GPIO21 and GPIO25.
These GPIOs may be controlled by AT commands:
• AT+WIOW for a write access to the GPIO value, when the GPIO is used as an
output,
• AT+WIOR for a read access to the GPIO value, when the GPIO is used as an
input.
Refer to "AT Commands Interface Guide" [7] for further information on AT commands.
After reset, both GPIOs are configured as inputs. The AT+WIOM command has to be
used to change this configuration (refer to "AT Commands Interface Guide" [7] for
further details).

7.7 RESET
7.7.1 General Presentation
This signal is used to force a reset procedure by providing low level during at least
200 μs.
This signal must be considered as an emergency reset only
. A reset procedure is
automatically driven by an internal hardware during the power-up sequence.
This signal may also be used to provide a reset to an external device. It then behaves
as an output. If no external reset is necessary, this input may be left open, if used
(emergency reset), it has to be driven either by an open collector or an open drain
output:
• RESET pin 14 = 0, for Fastrack Supreme Reset,
• RESET pin 14 = 1, for normal mode.

Additional comments on RESET:
The RESET process is activated either by the external RESET signal or by an internal
signal (coming from a RESET generator). This automatic reset is activated at Power-
up.
The Fastrack Supreme remains in RESET mode as long as the RESET signal is held
low.
Caution: This signal should be used only for "emergency" reset.
A software reset is always preferred to a hardware reset.
Note: See "AT Commands Interface Guide" [7] for further information on software
reset.
7.7.2 Reset Sequence
To activate the "emergency" reset sequence, the RESET signal has to be set to low for
200 μs minimum.

As soon as the reset is done, the AT interface answers "OK" to the application. For
this, the application must send AT↵.
If the application manages hardware flow control, the AT command may be sent
during the initialization phase. Another solution is to use the AT+WIND command to
get an unsolicited status from the Fastrack Supreme.

Remark:
1. This RTC time period is measured when the RTC battery is fully charged
before the Fastrack Supreme is being unplugged from the DC power
source.
2. This RTC time period is for temperature from -20°C to +60°C. Once the
operating/storage temperature is beyond this range, this time period is not
guaranteed.
Caution: When the Fastrack Supreme is shipped out, the charging voltage of the RTC
battery is not guaranteed. Once the Fastrack Supreme is on power, the RTC battery
will start charging and the RTC feature can then be resumed.
7.10 FLASH LED
The Fastrack Supreme has a red LED indicator to show the status of the GSM
network. For detail description of the various status, please refer to Section 5.3.
However, during operation mode of Slow Standby, there will be no network
registration and so the red LED indicator will always be ON. It is possible for user to
deactivate the LED indication during Slow Standby mode, in order to reduce power
consumption.
The Flash LED can be deactivated by AT command at+whcnf=1,0
The Flash LED can be activated by AT command at+whcnf=1,1
However, the new setting will be taken into account only after a restart. For detail,
please refer to Document [7].

in storage, transportation and operation.
The use of standard SIM cards may drastically reduce the environmental conditions in
which the Product can be used. These cards are particularly sensible to humidity and
temperature changes. These conditions may produce oxidation of the SIM card
metallic layers and cause, in the long term, electrical discontinuities. This is
particularly true in left alone applications, where no frequent extraction/insertion of
the SIM card is performed.
In case of mobility when the application is moved through different environments
with temperature variations, some condensation may appear. These events have a
negative impact on the SIM and may favor oxidation.
If the use of standard SIM card, with exposition to the environmental conditions
described above, can not be avoided, special care must be taken in the integration of
the final application in order to minimize the impact of these conditions. The solutions
that may be proposed are:
• Lubrication of the SIM card to protect the SIM Contact from oxidation.
• Putting the Fastrack Supreme Plug & Play in a waterproof enclosure with
desiccant bags.

Lubrication of the SIM card had been tested by Wavecom (using Tutela Fluid 43EM
from MOLYDUVAL) and gives very good results.
If waterproof enclosure with a desiccant solution is used, check with your desiccant
retailer the quantity that must be used according to the enclosure dimensions. Ensure
humidity has been removed before sealing the enclosure.
Any solution selected must be qualified by the customer on the final application.
To minimize oxidation problem on the SIM card, its manipulation must be done with
the greatest precautions. In particular, the metallic contacts of the card must never be
touched with bare fingers or any matter which may contain polluted materials liable
to produce oxidation (such as, e.g. substances including chlorine). In case a cleaning
of the Card is necessary, a dry cloth must be used (never use any chemical
substance).
