1 3520 Krums Corners Road Ithaca, New York USA Phone Fax PRODUCT INFORMATION MCCI USB DRIVERS FOR CMDA-ONE AND CDMA-2000 HANDSETS An Integrated Solution for Wireless Communication Based on MCCI s experience in developing USB technology for PCs, MCCI s CDMA handset drivers provide compatibility, performance, flexibility, and stability to the designer of CDMA-One and CDMA-2000 terminal equipment. Handset PC Data/Fax Function Internet Access, FAX program, / Synchronization Function Address Book Synchronization Application Mass Storage Function (e.g. for MP-3) USB Mass Storage (e.g., drive E:) The technology supports single function and multi-function handsets. The drivers can be licensed in single-function or multi-function form, allowing OEMs to trade off cost against performance across their product line. Compatibility is assured by MCCI s five years experience in supplying this technology for USB modems, serial port adapters, and communication devices. MCCI s leading role in the USB standards community has allowed us to make drivers that implement not only the letter but the spirit of the USB standards underlying advanced communication. MCCI s base handset driver allows for a single install across all Windows PC operating systems, reducing support costs. MCCI s drivers have been extensively tested with a wide range of legacy applications, for example Procomm and WinFax Pro, and they provide better performance and higher stability than the corresponding operatingsystem drivers. MCCI drivers are an integral part of many well known and highly successful USB products. With deployment in the millions of units, MCCI drivers have demonstrable The information in this document is subject to change without notice. Contact MCCI for current information and design status

2 field proven reliability. All MCCI drivers are built on a proven core foundation of software technology representing 20 labor-years of engineering development effort. In addition, MCCI drivers have undergone thousands of hours of rigorous testing culminating in the acquisition of strategically desirable USB-IF and WHQL certifications for our customers products. As a result, MCCI's CDMA drivers provide a high level of reliability and stability. At the same time, the MCCI drivers provide very high performance: over 3 megabits per second throughput for Internet traffic. MCCI s drivers support any CDC-compliant USB devices. Evaluation drivers are available off-the-shelf for testing with popular CDMA chipsets. Multifunction support allows data-communication functions to be combined with Mass Storage, synchronization, diagnostic and other functions. Competing approaches require either reconfiguring the handset, or else using an extra serial cable for the synchronization functions. MCCI s multi-function drivers allow elimination of the extra cables, or handset configuration steps; instead, all of the capabilities of the handset can be presented to the Windows system concurrently. For example, the user can be on-line, and at the same time update the MP-3 files stored on the handset. As shown in the block diagrams, the drivers consist of a central driver, which provides device-level management services, and additionally enumerates the subfunctions of the phone, allowing use of MCCI s standard CDC 1.1-compatible Abstract Control Model modem drivers for data communication emulation. In addition, to support multi-function handsets, the central driver can optionally detect and load drivers for other functions of the phone. Microsoft s Mass Storage class driver and Audio class drivers can be used concurrently with data transfers. In addition, to support vendor-specific diagnostics and synchronization access, MCCI provides serialemulation drivers. These drivers allow existing diagnostic and synchronization applications to access the CDMA handset just as if an additional COM port were connected between the handset and the PC. Figure 1, below, shows a block diagram of the single-function version of the drivers, on Windows 98/98SE/ME operating systems. Figure 2 shows the same configuration on Windows 2000 and XP. Figure 3 shows a multi-function configuration on Windows 98/98SE/ME; Figure 4 shows the same configuration on Windows 2000 and XP f Revised 01/27/2005-2

The CDMA Handset driver is loaded by Windows based on a vendor ID/product ID match. On Windows 98-family operating systems, the driver arranges for Windows to load the WDM driver as a USB-class device. No user intervention is required to select the appropriate drivers for the Windows version; the drivers are self-configuring. 2. The enhanced CDMA WDM data driver performs high-speed data transfers to the handset. It also arranges to load the port mapper and the VCOMM miniport. To satisfy Windows restrictions, this driver is loaded as a USB-class device. 3. The VCOMM port driver translates the comm. port APIs of Windows 98/98SE/ME into the WDM operations. It also is responsible for handling the upper plug and play applications, and for arranging stable and consistent COM port numbers. To satisfy Windows restrictions, this driver must be loaded as a Modem-class device. 4. The port mapper adds support for real-mode DOS-box applications such as games f Revised 01/27/2005-3

The multifunction CDMA Handset driver is loaded by Windows based on a vendor ID/product ID match. On Windows 98-family operating systems, the driver arranges for Windows to load the WDM driver as a USB-class device. No user intervention is required to select the appropriate drivers for the Windows version; the drivers are self-configuring. The driver then parses the descriptors of the device, and (in this example) detects three functions: the Abstract Control Model data transfer function, the diagnostic driver function, and the mass storage function. 2. The same drivers used in the single function case are used to handle data transfer in the multifunction case. This simplifies maintenance. 3. MCCI s diagnostic driver is loaded (as a Ports-class) device to operate the diagnostic interface. The API is completely compatible with the normal COM port API, so existing programs can be immediately reused. If the OEM prefers, the diagnostic driver can be loaded outside of Ports class; in this case, application programs may have to be rewritten, but there is much more flexibility for operating the port f Revised 01/27/2005-5

Just as on Windows 98-family systems, the multifunction CDMA Handset driver is loaded by Windows based on a vendor ID/product ID match. The driver then parses the descriptors of the device, and (in this example) detects three functions: the Abstract Control Model data transfer function, the diagnostic driver function, and the mass storage function. The driver arranges for Windows to load the WDM CDMA Data driver as a Modem class device; and Data WDM drivers as a Port class device.
