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 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 
a good view of the sky. 

 

Since  the  interface  to  the  GNSS  module  is  not  supported  by  LARA-R204-02B-00  /  
LARA-R211-02B-00 / TOBY-R200-02B-00 / TOBY-R202-02B-00 modules, the following changes 
are needed on the ADP-GNSS to appropriately provide supply to the GNSS: 

o

 

R106 = 0R, instead of not installed 

o

 

R107 = Do not install, instead of 0R 

5.

 

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). LED DL401 lights blue. 

6.

 

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. 

7.

 

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. 

 

If the cellular module has been powered off by the AT+CPWROFF command, press the Cellular 
Power-On 
button (SW302 on EVB) or the Cellular Reset button (SW303 on EVB) to switch on the 
module again. 

8.

 

For communication via the cellular module’s USB interface, connect a USB cable to the Cellular 
native USB
 connector (on ADP-R2). LED DS100 on ADP lights blue.  
After the end of the module boot, the COM ports listed in 

Table 8

 are enabled by the Windows 

USB driver (details as the numbering of the ports can be seen via the Windows Device Manager)

 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 available anyway after the end
