Board setup
1.
Insert a SIM card into the
SIM card holder
(J300 on the EVB-WL3).
2.
Connect the cellular antenna provided with the evaluation kit box to the
Cellular antenna
SMA
connector on the ADP-R5 (ANT connector for transmission and reception of LTE RF signals).
3.
If the GNSS functionality is required:
3.1.
For the EVK-R500S and EVK-R510S, connect the GNSS antenna provided with the
evaluation kit box to the
GNSS antenna
SMA connector on the ADP-GNSS (J208); keep
cellular GNSS detach switch (SW304) i
n “GNSS” position
.
3.2.
For the EVK-R510M8S, connect the GNSS antenna provided with the evaluation kit box to
the
GNSS antenna
SMA connector on the ADP-R510M8S (J112); keep cellular GNSS
detach switch (SW304) i
n “detach” position
.
Place the GNSS antenna in a location with a good view of the sky.
4.
Connect the AC / DC +12 V power adapter provided with the evaluation kit box to the
9
–
18 V
power input
connector (J400 on the EVB-WL3). The LED DL401 lights blue.
5.
Be sure to provide a jumper socket on both the
Cellular VCC supply jumpers
(J404 on the
EVB-WL3, and J109 on the ADP-R5). These jumpers provide the connection from the 3.8 V
output of the supply circuit on the EVB-WL3 to the VCC input of the module.
6.
To enable the board power supply, turn the
Main power switch
(SW400 on the EVB-WL3) to the
ON position. The LED DL400 lights green.
6.1.
For the EVK-R510S, press the
Cellular power-on
button (SW302 on the EVB-WL3) to
switch on the SARA-R510S cellular module.
6.2.
For the EVK-R500S, the SARA-R500S cellular module switches on. For the EVK-R510M8S,
the SARA-R510M8S cellular module switches on.
7.
For communic
ation via the cellular module’s UART interface, the following connections are
allowed and can be alternatively enabled in a mutually exclusive way (see
position and LED status):
7.1.
Connect a USB cable to the mini-USB connector on EVB-WL3 (
Cellular USB
, J501). The
LED DL501 lights blue. When a USB cable is connected to this mini-USB connector, two
COM ports are enabled in Windows: the main UART interface of the cellular module is
available over the first COM port opened by the driver.
7.2.
Connect an RS232 cable to the DB9 connector on EVB-WL3 (
Cellular RS232
, J500).
7.3.
Connect a USB cable to the mini-USB connector on ADP-R5 (
Cellular USB
, J201). The LED
DS201 lights blue. When a USB cable is connected to this mini-USB connector, two COM
ports are enabled in Windows: the two UART interfaces of the cellular module are
respectively available over the two numbered COM ports opened by the driver (to enable
two UART interfaces, see the AT commands manual
, the +USIO AT command).
