CH1724 Low-Cost Modem Module

 

Description

The Cermetek CH1724 compact module provides a complete, low-speed modem. As a leadless surface mount module, the CH1724 requires less than half the board space of the leading competitor and is less than half as tall as well.

Despite being a low cost module, the CH1724 includes many advanced features such as; error correction, non-volatile memory for configuration storage and stored number dialing, and active line monitoring to permit the CH1724 to unobtrusively share the telephone line with standard telephones and other equipment.

Every CH1724 includes conveyed FCC Part 68 registration and Global Telecom compatibility. This eases the compliance burden on the designer of security, process control, medical monitoring, point-of-sale, or remote diagnostic systems.

CH1724 Design Notes

The following design notes are intended to assist the developer in achieving maximum utility from the CH1724 modem module.

Power Supply: The CH1724 decodes millivolt range analog signals from the telephone line.  Steps must be taken to ensure power supply noise on all supply lines, including ground, remains below 50 mV peak-to-peak. At any frequency between 20 kHz and 150 kHz must be less than 500 microvolts peak. Dedicated power and ground planes are recommended. Failure to provide clean power could cause the CH1724 to function erratically.

The CH1724 requires a single +3.3V ± 0.3 volt supply.  It is recommended that by-pass capacitors be placed on the power supply as close to the modem’s supply input as practical. Cermetek recommends a 10 mF Tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor.

Error Correction: The CH1724 employs error correction to preserve data integrity. MNP error correction monitors blocks of data for errors and executes a retransmission of any data blocks containing errors.  The AT\N command selects the use of error correction in the CH1724.  The modems negotiate error correction on completion of the modem handshake.  Both modems must have error correction available for error correction to be successfully negotiated.  The ATW command causes the modem to report the status of the error correction negotiations as part of the CONNECT response.

Flow Control: Flow control prevents the loss of data due to a buffer overrun when employing error correction or data buffering.  With flow control activated, AT&K command, the modem signals the host when its transmit data buffer nears capacity.  Likewise the host signals the modem if its input buffer fills. Two methods of signaling can be used:  hardware flow control uses the RTS and CTS control lines for signaling; software flow control employs XON and XOFF characters in the data stream to signal a buffer full condition.

Loop Monitoring: The CH1724 monitors loop current and voltage to prevent the modem from interfering with other devices connected to the same telephone line including interruption of an ongoing call or preventing an emergency call from being made. The ATLS command controls line monitoring.

Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM): The CH1724 uses NVRAM to store a suer defined modem profile and phone numbers for automated dialing. The AT&W command stores the active modem configuration in the NVRAM.  The CH1724 is delivered with factory default setup parameter values pre-stored in NVRAM.

The AT&Yn command selects the modem configurations to be automatically recalled and made active upon a reset or power up.  The ATZn command immediately recalls and activates a stored profile configuration.  Refer to Tables 4, 5 and 6 for storable S-Registers and available commands.

The CH1724 uses NVRAM to store two telephone numbers with up to 60 digits or modifiers each.  The AT&Zn=s command stores, the telephone number dial string "s" in location "n; n equals 0 or 1."  The ATDTS=n command will cause the modem to dial the stored telephone number in location n.

World-wide Telecom Compliance:  The CH1724 can be configured for telecom requirements from around the world.  The AT+GCI command includes settings for more than 75 countries.

Serial Interface:  The CH1724 connects to the system host through a 5 volt tolerant 3 volt serial interface.  At a minimum TXD, RXD and Ground must be used.  Use of he remaining signals, inputs /RTS, /DTR, and /Reset and outputs /CTS, /DCD, /DSR, and /RI is optional.  If you elect to not use the /RTS and /DTR inputs, install la 1K pull-down resistor to force those signals to the active state.  If not used the /Reset line should be left open.  Any of the outputs which are unused can be left open.

AT commands control the operation of several modem interface signals. The AT&C command can force /DCD to the active state; The AT&D command controls how the modem use of /DTR; the AT&S command can force /DSR to the active condition. AT&K3 controrls teh use of /CTS for low control. 

CH1724 AT commands

At commands control CH1724 operation. This section describes the AT command format and lists the commands, registers and result codes.

Command Mode: The CH1724 enters command mode on power-up, reset, a lost connection, or receipt of the escape code. In command mode the modem accepts commands from the host on /TXD. Appropriate result codes are returned on /RXD.

Note: For backward compatibility some functions are controlled by multiple commands.  In these instances the last command issued determines the function setting.

Command Line Format: AT commands follow a strict format.  Each command line, except A/, begins with the prefix AT. The "A" and "T" may be either both upper case or both lower case but cannot be of different cases. The modem determines data rate of the host equipment by measuring the width of the incoming bits of the “A” and “T.”

Multiple commands may be combined into a single command line of up to 60 characters. Commands are executed in the sequence they appear upon receipt of a carriage return. Spaces inserted into the command line are not placed in the buffer.

A backspace is used to edit the command line can before execution. The backspace erases the previous character in the command line. Register S5 allows the user to select a character other than backspace to edit the command line.

If the command buffer overflows, the modem issues an "ERROR" result code, and the command line is not executed. 

Re-Execute Last Command - The A/ command causes the CH1724 to re-execute the previous command line. This is the only command which does not use the "AT" prefix.

Omitted Parameters - Most commands include a parameter which determines how the functions will be set. When the command parameter is omitted from the command string, it is assumed to be a 0.

Escape Characters - A 3 character escape sequence may be entered to switch the modem into command mode while on line.  The escape character, set by Register S2, must be entered 3 times in succession to execute the escape. A command must then be entered within the period defined by S12 to enter command mode.  The default escape sequence is "+++."

Result Codes - The modem issues a result code after each action.  Result codes may be sent as full words, one or two digit numeric codes, or may be disabled all together.  Each result code ends with a carriage return when numeric result codes are chosen.  When full word result codes are chosen, a Line Feed and Carriage Return precede and follow each result code.

Security Standards

The CH1724 supports a pair of Security industry Association standard protocols; Contact ID (SIA DC-05-1999.09) and SIA Format (SIA DC-03-1990.01).  the CH1724 selects both of these protocols with variations on the standard modem AT commands. 

Contact ID: The command AT-A1<CR> selects Contact ID mode..  Contact ID uses a modified dialing command to transfer the Contact iD message, see command below.

ATDT!xxx!1yyyy<CR>

In the above command "xxx" represents the number to be dialed.  The "1" identifies the digits that follow as Contact ID data.  The characters "yyyy" represent the Contact ID message including the CRC.  The Contact ID message may contain a maximum of 63 characters.  Additional data can be sent using the AT!1zzz or !zzz commands. 

Other commands and registers are also used in the Contact ID messaging.  The AT-B command causes the modem to resend the previous Contact ID message.  S10, S61, and S90 control the Kissoff tone timing at end the transaction. S42 an S43 control the timing of the handshake tones.

Contact ID mode also uses a unique set of responses as shown below.

b    Busy Tone Detected

c    Connect

K    Valid Kissoff Tone Detected

k    Kissoff Tone Exceeds the Time Limit Set by S10

N    No Carrier Detected

n    No Dial Tone Detected

O    OK, Valid Command Received

R    Ringing

r     Ringback Tone Detected

t     Dial Tone Detected

^     Kissoff Tone Detection Required

,     Dialing Complete     

SIA Format: The command AT-A2<CR> selects SIA Format..  SIA Format uses a modified dialing command to transfer the SIA formatted message, see below.

ATDxx!2YYYY<CR> or ATD!xxx!2yyyy<CR>

"xxx" is the number to be dialed.  The "2" identifies the following digits as SIA formatted data. The characters "YYYY" are the SIA fromatted message.  A maximum of 63 characters may be included in the Contact ID message.  Additional data can be sent using AT!2zzz. 

Other commands and registers are also used in the SIA messaging.  The AT-E and AT-Q commands determine handling of the Acknowledgement tone.  AT-R selects the SIA Format Column Parity calculation. S42, S61, S62, S7, S90, S92, S96, S99 and S102 control handshaking in SIA mode.

SIA mode uses a unique set of responses as shown below.

CH1724 pAD Descriptions

PAD	SIGNAL	DESCRIPTION
1	TIP	Ring and Tip connect the modem to the telephone line. FCC Part 68 Rules require a 1500 volt isolation barrier between the telephone line and all other circuits.  This isolation must be preserved throughout the system. The telephone company places a DC "Battery" voltage across Tip and Ring on publich switched telephone lines. The CH1724 operates regardless of the polarity of this voltage. The "Battery" voltage drives up to 100 miliamps of loop current. UL60950 requires minimum creepage and clearnce dinstances between conductive circuits; creepage is the distance between conductive points along a surface.
2	RING	Ring and Tip connect the modem to the telephone line. FCC Part 68 Rules require a 1500 volt isolation barrier between the telephone line and all other circuits.  This isolation must be preserved throughout the system.
3	Reserved	This pin is reserved for future use and should remain unconnected.
4	/DSR	/DSR is an active low output from the modem. The /DSR signal typically indicates that the modem has established a communications link.  The AT&S command defines the operation of the /DSR signal.
5	/DCD	/DCD is an active low output from the modem. /DCD normally indicates that the modem has detected a valid carrier signal from the remote modem.  The AT&C command controls when the CH1724 asserts /DCD.
6	/DTR	/DTR is an active low input to the modem. An active /DTR signals traditionally indicates that the host is available for communications. The AT&D command selects how the modem interprets activity on /DTR.
7	/RI	The /RI signal reports on the presence of an incoming ring signal When a ring occurs across Tip and Ring, the /RI output goes low and toggles with the cadence of the ring signal.
8	SPKR	SPKR provides a Pulse Width Modulated version of the signal on Tip and Ring. This allows use of a speaker with the modem to monitor modem operations. The signal on SPKR is controlled by the ATL and ATM commands.
9	Ground	Ground provides the reference voltage for all host interface signals
10	TXD	TXD provides the path for transmitted data and modem commands to be passed from the host controller to the modem. Data starts with a high to low transition. Mark or binary 1 condition is indicated by HIGH
11	RXD	RXD provides the path for received data and modem responses to be sent from the modem to the host controller. Data starts with a high to low transition. Mark or binary 1 condition is indicated by HIGH
12	/RESET	/RESET is an active low input which initiates a modem hardware reset. /RESET must be active for a minimum of 100 milliseconds for a proper modem reset sequence. No external reset is required; if none is used the RESET signal should be left open
13	/CTS	/CTS is an active low output from the modem. When hardware flow control is set, the modem asserts /CTS to indicate that it can accept data from the terminal equipment on /TXD.
14	N/C	No Connection; this pad should remain unconnected.
15	VCC	VCC provides 3.3 volt power to the modem.
16	RTS	/RTS is an active low input to the modem.  When hardware flow control is set, an active /RTS indicates to the modem that the host has data to send.
17	N/C	This pad is provided only for mechanical stability. No electrical connection should be made.
18	N/C	This pad is provided only for mechanical stability. No electrical connection should be made.
