8.4 Qualified Watchdog Configuration
While the complete watchdog functionality may be configured via TXD0 line of the ASC0 inter-
face (for details see Section 8.3), a qualified set of configuration commands can also be spec-
ified via the watchdog‘s I
2
C interface as described in this section. The LTE module has to be
up and running for this type of configuration.
The watchdogs‘s I
2
C interface is accessible by means of the LTE module‘s I
2
C lines, and either
via the LTE module‘s AT command interface, or for ELS61T-x Terminals only through a Java
MIDlet during runtime (see Figure 27). Note: When using a Java MIDlet to set GPIO directions
using the I
2
C interface, please allow for a guard time of at least 500ms between two I
2
C com-
mands.
The I
2
C interface implements the write and the read protocol as described in Section 8.4.1. The
7-bit device address is 0x6A (binary: 1101010). The default address can be changed by con-
figuration command (see Section 8.3.1.10).
