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)  to  the 

Cellular  antenna

  SMA 

connector on the ADP-N3 (ANT NB, RF input/output for transmission and reception of NB-IoT RF 
signals) 

3.

 

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

GNSS antenna 

SMA connector on the ADP-GNSS. Place the GNSS antenna in a location 

with a good view of the sky. 

 

Interface to the GNSS module is not supported by SARA-N3 series modules. 

 

4.

 

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

 18 V Power Input

 

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

5.

 

Be sure to provide a jumper socket on both the 

Cellular VCC supply jumpers

 (J404 on the EVB, 

and J155 on the ADP-N3). These jumpers provide the connection from the 3.8 V output of the 
supply circuit on the EVB board to the VCC input of the module. 

6.

 

To enable the board power supply, turn the 

Main power switch

 (SW400 on the EVB) to the ON 

position. LED DL400 lights green. 

7.

 

To switch on the cellular module, press the 

Cellular power-on

 button (SW302 on EVB). 

8.

 

For  communication  via  UART  interface  of  the  cellular  module,  the  following  connections  are 
allowed  and  can  be  alternatively  enabled  in  a  mutually  exclusive  way  (see 

Table  6

  for  slide 

switches positions and LED status): 

8.1.

 

Connect a USB cable to mini USB connector (

Cellular USB

, J501 on EVB), LED DL501 lights 

blue.  
In this case, two COM ports are enabled with Windows (the numbering of the COM ports 
can be seen via the Windows Device Manager): 

 

SARA-N3 UART interface is available over the first COM port (for AT commands and 
data) 

 

SARA-N3 additional UART FT interface is available over the second COM port (for FW 
update and diagnostic) 

8.2.

 

Connect an RS232 cable to DB9 connector (

Cellular RS232

, J500 on EVB) 

 

Type of connections 

SW401 

SW403 

LED 

Access to cellular UART over the 

Cellular USB 

(UART / UART FT) mini USB connector 

(J501) 

ON-BOARD  MINIUSB 

DL403 

Access to cellular UART over the 

Cellular RS232 

(UART) DB9 connector (J500) 

ON-BOARD  DB9 

DL405 

Access to cellular UART on DIL Board-to-Board connector on the adapter board: 
cellular UART detached from USB (UART / UART FT) and RS232 (UART) connectors
