Connect to appropriate socket for module.
Also connect any u.FL connectors for ANT or GPS as required.
Plug in SIM if required for cellular connection.

2. Plug in USB cable

USB - Connect between board and PC. (If P1 is bridged, it will also work as
power source).
PWR - Connect between board and 5V power source. (PC or plug pack will
work).

3. On/Off

GFF - Hold ONOFF button for 5 seconds to power on module.
MPCI - Not required, power on is automatic.

4. Confirm power on

Confirm LEDs are lighting up. 3V3, 3V8, and VAUX LED should be lit.
Confirm that the USB has enumerated by checking the VCP(Virtual COM
Port) is showing up in ”Device Manager” on Windows or ”/dev” on Linux.
Please contact Glyn for any USB drivers that you may require.

Note-
