Chapter 1 : Presentation Omnii platform
• The Omnii platform was been developed to be flexible to adapt as your business needs change. This is Open
innovation!
• As the next evolution of the Omnii platform, the XT15 Version takes the best features of the XT10 and adds
new functionality to create a device that gives the greatest access to business applications.
• Main Differences between the XT10 and XT15 version :

Chapter 3 : Expansion Port and connectors
Positions of the electrical connectors on the Omnii platform :
Scanner / Imager connector
Endcap
Expansion
Audio Expansion
Pod Expansion
Camera connector
Multi-Function Expansion
 Different connectors available for RFID integration
 Be careful as most of them cannot be used due to electrical consumption constraints
 Some of these connectors are already used by existing options like Barcode scanner, GPS,
camera….

Chapter 4 : GPS & WWAN Options
Impact on the Hardware
 If the GPS or WWAN option are installed, it
will occupy the 100 pin connector.
Location of the RCB (GPS only) :
 GPS by default on the radio carrier board
(RCB)
 Unused pins duplicated to the J1 and J3
connectors -> still available for others devices
J1
J3
Connector identical to the Pod
Expansion connector (Port 2 – J10)
Proprietary interface pins reserved
for future use
Location of the WWAN module :
Voltage :3V3
or
VBat (3V – 4.2V)
Power consumption :
100 mA – 3V3
1000 mA - VBat

Chapter 5 : Expansion device requirements
Device EEPROM
 Each expansion device must be equipped with a
Maxim DS2431 EEPROM.
 1 wire EEPROM is used
 Give specific identifiers (Manufacturer and
Model number)
Device Registry Keys
 Registry keys and values must be added
to the Omnii registry
 Provide to Omnnii information about the
device
 Configure the data pins of the expansion
port appropriately

Chapter 6 : Mechanical Supports for
Partners
 Existing GPS / Radio bracket
 Slim Pod : Radio Compliant / Bad aesthetic
