Interfaces This module offers following interfaces to communicate with module. Except UART console, before those USB emulated ports could be used, it requires to setup the Qaulcomms usb driver into your windows PC at first. After driver installation is finished, device manager will show below USB emulated COM ports. 3.1 UART port The UART port is Linux console port, where users could communicate with Linux via shell command. For current laptops, there is no external COM port connector. Recommend to use an usb-to-uart cable to connect with the UART port. Then it is required to install the corresponding driver in advance. After connecting with the cable, it should be able to see the COM port in device manager. For example, COM18 is found for usb-to-uart com port in Windows Device Manager in below figure. Any terminal emulated tool can be used to communicate with Linux via this port. Putty is an open source terminal emulator to be an example in following figure. Wistron Neweb Corporation Proprietary & Confidential Design Document Subject: UMC-A18Q7 User Manual REV: 0.1 PAGE 12 OF 21 After simply configuring speed 115200, terminal will show login prompt. Default login account and password is shown in below figure.

The functionalities of this interface like UART port. Its required to install Android USB driver on PC/Windows to use adb tool. Adb tool provides an easy way for PC side to push Linux applications to run over the module. Command adb devices is often the first command to detect if any module connected with the adb link. And command adb shell could start a Linux shell to operate on modules Linux system. Please refer to following figure.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help. FCC Caution:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Wistron Neweb Corporation Proprietary & Confidential Design Document Subject: UMC-A18Q7 User Manual REV: 0.1 PAGE 17 OF 21 Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator &

your body. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and the maximum antenna gain allowed for use with this device is +2.0 dBi. 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. IMPORTANT NOTE:

In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot 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 FCC authorization. End Product Labeling:

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: Contains FCC ID: NKR-LMA18Q7. The grantee's FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met. Manual Information To the End User:

The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
