5.

 

Connect the AC / DC +12 V power adapter provided with the evaluation kit box to the 

 18 V 

Power Input

 connector (J400 on the EVB). LED DL401 lights turn blue. 

6.

 

Be sure to provide a jumper socket on the 

Cellular VCC supply jumper

 (J404 on the EVB) and to 

Cellular VCC supply jumper 

(J102 on the ADP-R8). These provide the connection from the 3.8 V 

output of the supply circuit from the EVB to the VCC input of the cellular system of LENA-R8. 

7.

 

For  LENA-R8001M10,  be  sure  to  provide  a  jumper  socket  on  the 

VCC_GNSS  enable  jumper

 

(J701 on the ADP-R8) and to 

VBCKP_GNSS enable jumper 

(J702 on the ADP-R8). These enable 

the  1.8  V  supply  for  the  VCC_GNSS  and  VBCKP_GNSS  inputs  of  the  LENA-R8001M10  GNSS 
system, using the 3.8 V output of the supply circuit mounted on the EVB. 

8.

 

Be sure to set the 

Cellular USB boot slide switch 

(J200 on ADP-R8) 

on the “NORMAL” position. 

If a FW update over USB is 

to be executed, set the slide switch on the “USB” position

9.

 

To enable the board power supply, turn the 

Main power switch

 (SW400 on the EVB) to the ON 

position. LED DL400 lights turn green. The cellular system of the LENA-R8 module is powered 
but still switched off. The GNSS system of the LENA-R8001M10 module switches on.  

10.

 

For communication via the cellular USB interface, connect a USB cable to the 

Cellular native USB

 

(J700) connector (on ADP-R8). LED700 on ADP-R8 lights turn blue.  

Once the switch-on of the cellular system is triggered (see point 

13

), the COM ports listed in the 

Table 6

 are enabled by the Windows USB driver after the end of the module boot (details as the 

numbering of the ports can be seen via the Windows Device Manager)

Run an AT terminal (e.g., the u-blox m-center tool), select the AT port with below settings: 

 

Data rate: 115200 bit/s 

 

Data bits: 8 

 

Parity: N 

 

Stop bits: 1

See appendi

A message of “driver installation fail” may appear on Windows if the 

USB cable has been connected before the end of the 

module boot, but this can be ignored as the normal operating functionality of the module will be available anyway after the end 
of the module boot.
