Introduction In order to help you to develop applications with Quectel modules, Quectel supplies evaluation board (EVB) for you to test our modules. This document can help you quickly understand the EVB interface specifications, electrical and mechanical details and know how to use it. l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C M10_EVB_User_Guide Confidential / Released 6 / 31 GSM /GPRS Module M10 EVB User Guide 1.1. Safety Information The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, such as usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating M10 module. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal should send the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. If not so, Quectel does not take on any liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions. Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a mobie while driving (even with a handsfree kit) cause distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving. l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it switched off. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communication systems. Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on boarding the aircraft, if your device offers a Fight Mode which must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft. Switch off your wireless device when in hospitals or clinics or other health care facilities. These requests are desinged to prevent possible interference with sentitive medical equipment. GSM cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signal and cellular network and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, for example no mobile fee or an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need emergent help, Please Riaemember using emergency call. In order to make or receive call, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Your cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON , it receives and transmits radio frequency energy. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment. M10_EVB_User_Guide Confidential / Released 7 / 31 GSM /GPRS Module M10 EVB User Guide In locations with potencially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with potencially exposive atmospheres including fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or paricles such as grain, dust or metal powders. l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C M10_EVB_User_Guide Confidential / Released 8 / 31 GSM /GPRS Module M10 EVB User Guide 2 Product Concept 2.1.

Power on (1) Connect the M10-TE-A to the 60 pins connector on M10 EVB. (2) Insert the plug of the 5V power adapter. (3) Turn the Switch S202 to ON state, Switch S203 to OFF state, and Switch S201 to OFF state. The LED D503 on the EVB will be lighted. (4) Press the PWRKEY for about 2 seconds. The LED D101 will be lighted which indicates the module in working status. With LED D101 is on, the module begins running. Otherwise, please check the circuit. (5) The LED D502 will be flashing at a certain frequency. The GSM working status of the module can be judged by the LED status. l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C Please refer to chapter 7in document [3] for detailed network status indication. 5.2. Communicate with Module (1) Connect the Main Port of EVB to PC's USB port with the USB to UART converter cable. (2) Open the HyperTerminal (AT command window) on PC. The location of the HyperTerminal in windows XP is: START program accessory communication HyperTerminal. Set appropriate Baud Rate (such as 115200 bps) and COM number which can be checked by the Device Manager on PC. (3) Connect an antenna to M10-TE-A with an RF cable. (4) Insert SIM card into the SIM card socket. (5) Insert earphone or handset into audio interface. (6) For Power On operation, please refer to chapter 5.1. (7) After waiting for 2~3 seconds, customer should first input "AT" or "at" string once or more until receiving "OK" from the module in the HyperTerminal. The module is set to autobauding mode in default configuration. This operation is to synchronize the baud rate between the computer and the module. (8) Input AT command and the module will execute its corresponding function. Customer can refer to chapter 7 in document [5] for the details of AT commands. For instance, when input "ATD112;" an emergency call is established. M10_EVB_User_Guide Confidential / Released 26 / 31 GSM /GPRS Module M10 EVB User Guide 5.3. Firmware Upgrade through Main Port (1) (2) (3) Start the Firmware Upgrade Tool in the PC. Press the START button in the Firmware Upgrade Tool. Switch the S201 and S202 in the EVB to ON state as shown in Figure 18. After these steps, the firmware refreshing process will be proceeding. For more details, please refer to chapter 7 in document [4]. l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C Figure 18: Switches State for Firmware Download 5.4. Turn Off Press the PWRKEY button less than 1 second, the module will be turned off. 5.5. Emergency Off Press the EMERG_OFF button for more than 0.1 second, the module will be shut down immediately. After that, the module can be restarted by pressing the PWRKEY button. Please pay attention that this operation is harmful to the whole module system and should only be done in emergency such as failing to turn off the module through the PWRKEY button. M10_EVB_User_Guide Confidential / Released 27 / 31 GSM /GPRS Module M10 EVB User Guide 5.6. UART3 Module provides two UART ports for achieving Dual UART. One is UART1 which is the main UART; the other is UART3 which is the assisted UART. AT+QEAUART=1 is used to enable UART3. For more details, please refer to chapter 7 in document [5]. 5.7. Useful Application l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C If the module has been welded on your PCB, you can follow the steps below to connect the module with our EVB. After that, URAT communication is ready. Remove the resistance R102 to the place of the resistance R224 to change the power supply. Pull out the module pins of TXD, RXD, VBAT, and GND to the EVB pins of TXD, RXD, VBAT, and GND with 4 wires. Short-circuit the power key to GND for 1s and cut down the connection to run the module.
