 Hardware Interfaces 

This chapter describes the hardware interfaces: 

Interface specifications 

Main Port 

The 8pin double-row connector, type:  MOLEX-43045-08-MICRO FIT. It provides IN/OUT, power 

supply and first serial port (SER0) lines. The same pin functionality as FOX-IN/EN. 

Accessory Port 

The 6pin double-row connector, type: MOLEX-43045-06-MICRO FIT. It provides 1-Wire bus, I²C 

master interface, second serial port (SER1). 

10pin-Mini-USB 

10pin mini-USB port with SPI interface and USB - Master interface. 

Optical LED Indicators 

3 x LED indicators, free programmable using PFAL commands to show the device current state . 

Mounting Holes 

4 x mounting holes for attaching the device to a suitable location (use M4x20 self tapping or 

machine screws for mounting, 

not included

). 

Audio interface  

The audio connector has a diameter of 2.5 mm which allows to connect a SPK/MIC device  to the 

FOX3-2G/3G/4G. 

Hint: 

Only FOX3 and FOX3-3G-AUDIO have this connector and support audio for 

speaker and microphone. 

External Antenna Ports 

FAKRA connectors for connecting GSM & GNSS antennas. 

Battery tray 

It is used to insert and connect the battery to the device.  

SIM Holder 

It is used to insert your SIM card into the device for using GSM/GPRS services.
