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)

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

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.
