No position (no jumper socket on J601): main 8-wire UART interface or main 4-wire UART with 
auxiliary 4-wire UART interfaces, routed to the dual-in-line male header connectors mounted on 
the top of the adapter board ADP-R8, allowing a connection to an external compatible device with 
the on-board / B2B switch (SW401) on the EVB-

WL3 board set to “B2B”

Figure 3: 3-pin header J601 available to set the routing of the UART interfaces  

The other peripherals of the cellular module are available on the dual-in-line male header connectors 
(J402 / J403) on the top layer of the cellular adapter board ADP-R8. 

The  lower  board  is  compatible  with  other  u-blox  cellular  adapter  boards.  It  contains  additional 
switches,  jumpers,  connectors,  LEDs  and  parts  that  are  partially  described  in 

Figure  1

  or  in  this 

document,  because  they  are  intended  for  use  only  with  other  u-blox  cellular  modules.  It  is 
recommended to leave any additional connector unconnected, and to leave any additional switch in 
its default configuration.
