5.1. HARDWIRED METHOD
The ST100 Board provides several test modes intended to aid in manufacturing testing and certification testing. All test modes
are activated by grounding selective pins on the ST100 BOARD prior to applying power. Once power is applied, the ST100
Board will sample the states of the pins and based on the states of the pins, the ST100 BOARD will enter the selected test
mode. For normal operation these pins must be left floating or in a high (logic 1) state.
A typical implementation is to rig small switches to these pins so that turning the switch on connects the pins to ground. Such a
“rigged” board is then sent to the regulatory test house with instructions on how to set the switches to enable each mode. The
switches should be set to select the desired mode, then power applied, then measurements taken. Power should be switched
off before selecting another mode.
In the table below, the TEST1, TEST2, RX and RTS pins come up on the board as follows.
TEST1 – On Test Point 28 and edge connector pin 7.
TEST2 – On Test Point 29 and edge connector pin 6.
RX – On Test Point 46
RTS – On Test Point 15
The following tables define the different test modes available in the ST100 Board.
The channels are selected via the Rx and RTS pins as follows.
5. TEST MODES
TEST1 TEST2 MODE

Mod Mode (continuous transmission) - A test packet is continuously
transmitted until power is removed from the board. The test packet shall
comply with the Air Interface Packet format with a user information equal to
the hex stream 0x80AAF0F0F0AAF0F0F0 where the most significant bit is
transmitted first
0 1
Test Packet - The test packet shall comply with the Air Interface Packet format
with a user information equal to the hex stream 0x80AAF0F0F0AAF0F0F0
where the most significant bit is transmitted first
1 0
CW mode - An un-modulated carrier is continuously transmitted.
