8 First steps to make it works
The quickest way to get first results with the I56/I56i embedded
GSM/GPRS module is to operate with the GSM-EVAL-KIT which is
available by FALCOM upon request. It saves design, time and reduces
“Time-to-Market” period. For more details about the FALCOM GSM-
EVAL-KIT, refer to the chapter “
GSM Evaluation Kit (GSM EVAL-KIT)
NOTE:
The GSM/GPRS module I56/I56i are compatible to the I2D
module as far as the pin-out on the 50-pin board-to-board
connector is concerned. By evaluating the I56/I56i, an I2D
adapter board is required to perform the connection between the
I56/I56i and GSM-EVAL-KIT. This applies for the users who
already have an adapter and a GSM-EVAL-KIT. For other users
they have to purchase one.
8.1 Minimum set-up connection
This section and subsections below describes the minimum hardware
connection of I56/I56i module to get started if the users do not use the
GSM-EVAL-KIT.
As a minimum, to set-up a connection between your PC and the I56/I56i, it
is necessary to connect the following interfaces to operate the I56/I56i
properly. Please follow step-by-step the instructions below. The figure
below shows in a visual form the connection of the I56/I56i hardware
interfaces.
8.1.1 Mounting the I56/I56i
The I56/I56i contains two holes for mounting screws. The module can also
be assembled to various applications without using the screws.
8.1.2 Antenna
interface
The antenna must be located on the places where the signal strength is
sufficient. Maybe a mobile phone is required to be used to verify the best
location for the I56/I56i connected antenna.
