The USB is used to power the board. It also connects the on-board UART-USB Bridge IC (FTDI FT4232HL) to provide ACM interfaces (virtual COM) in order to access the board through UART. You should see a window similar to Figure 3-1 on page 8 opening. Figure 3-1: Driver Auto-Install If, for some reasons, the driver fails to auto-install on Windows, you can install them manually from www.ftdichip.com, where you can find the FTDI driver labelled UART/USB. After the driver installation, please unplug the Test Kit and reboot your PC. GM01Q-STMOD TEST KIT USER MANUAL PROPRIETARY 8 SEQUANS Communications R ev4 Draft SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING SETUP DETAILS 3.1.2 Control the Installation After completing the drivers' installation, whenever you plug the USB cable you should be able to see the following, under Windows Control Panel ->
Device Manager. Figure 3-2: Device Manager after Driver Install Note:
Port enumeration can be different on your PC from the given example, depending on your local settings. 3.1.3 Setting of the COM Ports Table 3-1 summarizes the COM ports under Windows and their mapping and configuration to the Test Kit.

Figure 3-3: COM Port Properties GM01Q-STMOD TEST KIT USER MANUAL PROPRIETARY 10 SEQUANS Communications R ev4 Draft SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING AT COMMANDS 3.2 AT Commands The test kit configuration and usage is all being done through AT commands In order to send AT commands to the test kit, you need to use a serial terminal program under Window such as TeraTerm freeware. To send an AT command to the kit, you need to connect your serial terminal to the "Serial 2" port, corresponding to COMa on Windows enumeration -please refer to the table in 4.1.3 to determine the exact COM port on your PC Configure the correct baudrate 921600 and the other settings in the terminal. Once the correct setting is done, you should be able to start sending AT commands and receiving their corresponding output. Figure 3-4: Serial 2 Terminal You can start with ATE1 to enable the echo for the current session. Figure 3-5: AT Command on Serial Interface Note:
Refer to AT Command Reference Manual which describe the complete list of AT commands supported by GM01Q Module firmware. 11 PROPRIETARY GM01Q-STMOD TEST KIT USER MANUAL SEQUANS Communications R ev4 Draft 3.3 Console Terminal SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING CONSOLE TERMINAL Connecting a serial terminal to the COM port mapped on Serial 1 of the Test Kit, will allow you to access to the test kit Console. The console is a maintenance window, not necessary for regular operations, however it is useful to have it during maintenance phases, such as firmware upgrade or to observe the boot messages after hitting the reset button.

Notes:
The mode can be checked with AT+SQNCTM?
AT commands can be sent from the STMicroelectronics terminal using the
"atcmd" command This configuration will be persistent at reboot Once configured in standard mode after reboot, the UE will scan the following bands in that order:
1. B20, B12, B13, B8, B18, B19, B28 If no CATM cell is found on these bands, the UE will then continue scan-
ning the other set of bands. 2. B1, B2, B3, B4, B26, B5, B17, B25, B66, B14 Note:
The first attach procedure can take some time due to the large number of bands to be scanned. Once the UE has attached to a cell, it will save its settings into memory and scan for this cell first on the next attach to allow speeding up the connection. GM01Q-STMOD TEST KIT USER MANUAL PROPRIETARY 14 SEQUANS Communications R ev4 Draft SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING SIM INTERFACE MULTIPLEXING 3.6 SIM Interface Multiplexing This section describes the different SIM interfaces available to GM01Q on GM01Q-STMOD Test Kit. These options are managed by a dedicated SIM multiplexer The SIM multiplexer of the GM01Q-STMOD Test Kit can be used to configure 3 different SIM cards:
LOCAL SIM: this is the plastic SIM card slot located on the GM01Q-STMOD board (J2 connector) LOCAL eSIM: Not currently supported HOST eSIM: Not supported Table 3-4 describes how to configure each SIM slot with SIM multiplexer signals SIM_SEL0 and SIM_SEL1.

However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. Cet appareil est conu uniquement pour les intgrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes: (Pour utilisation de dispositif module) 1. L'antenne doit tre installe de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respecte entre l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et 2. Le module metteur peut ne pas tre complant avec un autre metteur ou antenne. Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplmen-

In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Canada authorization. NOTE IMPORTANTE:
Dans le cas o ces conditions ne peuvent tre satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre metteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considr comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut pas tre utilis sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intgrateur OEM sera charg de rvaluer le produit final (y compris l'metteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte au Canada.
