Board setup 

1.

 

Insert a SIM card into the 

SIM card holder

 (J300 on the EVB). 

2.

 

Connect  a  cellular  antenna  provided  with  the  evaluation  kit  box  to  the 

Primary  cellular  antenna

  SMA 

connector on the ADP-L2 (ANT1, RF input/output for transmission and reception of LTE/3G/2G RF signals). 

3.

 

Connect a cellular antenna provided with the evaluation kit box to the 

Secondary cellular antenna

 SMA 

connector  on  the  ADP-L2  (ANT2,  RF  input  for  the  reception  of  the  LTE  RF  signals  as  per  the  Down-Link 
MIMO  2  x  2  and  for  the  reception  of  the  3G  RF  signals  as  per  the  Down-Link  Rx  diversity).  Place  the 
secondary cellular antenna far enough from the primary cellular antenna (should be more than 20 cm). 

4.

 

If the Wi-Fi functionality is required, connect the Wi-Fi antenna provided with the evaluation kit box to the 

Wi-Fi  antenna 

SMA  connector  on  the  ADP-L2  (ANT  WL).  Place  the  Wi-Fi  antenna  far  enough  from  the 

cellular antennas (should be more than 20 cm). 

 

Wi-Fi functionality is available on the EVK-L2 for TOBY-L2 modules product versions "02", "62" onwards 

 

5.

 

If the GNSS functionality is required, connect the GNSS antenna provided with the evaluation kit box to the 

GNSS antenna 

SMA connector on the EVB. Place the GNSS antenna in a location with good sky view. 

 

Interface to the GNSS module is not supported by TOBY-L2 modules

6.

 

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

9 – 18 V Power Input

 

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

7.

 

Be sure to provide a jumper socket on the 

Cellular VCC supply jumper

 (J404 on the EVB). This provides 

the connection from the 3.8 V output of the supply circuit on the EVB to the VCC input of the module. 

8.

 

To enable the board power supply, turn the 

Main power switch

 (SW400 on the EVB) to the ON position. 

LED DL400 lights green. The cellular module switches on. 

9.

 

For communication via USB, connect the USB cable to the 

Cellular native USB

 connector (J100 on ADP). 

LED  DS100  on  ADP  lights  blue.  After  the  end  of  the  module  boot,  the  following  devices  are  by  default 
enabled with Windows (details as the ports numbering can be seen via the Windows Device Manager)

Modems 

 u-blox Composite USB Modem Interface 

AT commands interface is available over this modem COM port 

o

 

Network adapters 

 Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device 

Ethernet-over-USB connection is available over this network adapter 

Run an AT terminal application (e.g. the u-blox m-center tool) selecting the u-blox Composite USB Modem 
Interface COM port, with these settings: 

o

 

Data rate: 115200 b/s 

o

 

Data bits: 8 

o

 

Parity: N 

o

 

Stop bits: 1 

o

 

Flow control: HW 

See Appendix A for how to configure the u-blox m-center AT terminal for Windows. 

                                                      

4

 Supply for the GNSS module can be provided mounting the 0R jumper R106 and removing the 0R jumper R107 on the ADP-GNSS.  

5

 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 anyway available after the end of the module boot.
