Control Tool Quick Start Guide
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this document is to explain the quick steps communicate with module EtherLoRa ETH-LORA-M-AX-01 (V1.2) via UART interface. In order to that,
Ethertronics has developed evaluation boards for this module.
Two types of evaluation boards have been designed to test the features of the ETH-LORA-M-AX-01 (V1.2), Evaluation Board Active and Passive.

HARDWARE INFORMATION
EVALUATION BOARD
To facilitate the final product’s developers, Ethertronics has built completed passive and active evaluation boards (EVBs) for ETH-LORA-M-AX-01 (V1.2). In order
to test the functionalities of the IM algorithm, a passive evaluation board is used and to test the functionalities of the MCD algorithm, an active evaluation board
is used. This evaluation boards come with test connectors to communicate with ETH-LORA-M-AX-01 using AT commands via UART interface.
PASSIVE EVALUATION BOARD
This passive evaluation is also provided with Ethertronics’ Prestta
TM
1002232 Multi-Band ISM antenna which covers all the ISM frequencies
(868/915/2400 MHz).
