1 LM63S1 Product Description 1.1 Product Features The LM63S1 is an mPCIe module supporting LTE bands B4, B13 and B14. The LM63S1 can be fitted into a mPCIe host connector in (e.g.) a vehicular modems and be connected to a USB port using a mPCIe/to USB connector. 1.2 Software Description The LM63S1 is a hostless device.
2.2 First Installation 2.2.1 Install the Host Software Without plugging in the device, launch the Windows installer. File name is sqn_setup_3.3.3.0-msi-xxxxx-host-only.exe. It automatically installs the Sequans’ LM63S1 drivers on the PC. Follow the procedure: 1. Launch the installer and confirm its execution. Click Yes button to start the installation process. 2. Click the Next> button. 3. Select the installation directory. The default directory can be changed by clicking the Browse... button.
2.4 Connection to Serial Port Using a terminal emulator application (e.g PuTTY on Windows®), open the installed serial port @ 115200 bauds, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Next figure illustrates a PuTTY configuration. Note: Find the COM serial port used by the Evaluation Kit with the Windows® Devices settings, when the installation is complete. Select the SQN31X0 device in the Windows devices list, and right-click to read its properties.
Note: Ping the interface IP address to confirm that the installation is operational. 2.5 Software Uninstallation Use Windows’ uninstaller service.
3 General Procedures 3.1 Connect the LM63S1 For the first installation of the LM63S1 on the PC, please follow the procedure described in Section 2. There is no other specific operation required for the later connections. Plug the LM63S1 on a USB port of your PC and wait for the “Device ready” Windows message display. The LM63S1 is then ready. 3.2 Connection to Serial Port Open a PuTTY terminal and use regular AT commands to control the LTE modem 3.
4. HW integration guidelines RF connections When attaching antennas to the module: Note: To disconnect the antenna, make sure you use the specific RF connector to prevent damage to the module or coaxial cable assembly. •Use the specific RF connector to attach antennas to the module’s connection points. •Match coaxial connections between the module and the antenna to 50 Ohm. •Minimize RF cable losses to the antenna; the recommended maximum cable loss for antenna cabling is 0.5 dB.
•Antenna location may affect RF performance. Although the module is shielded to prevent interference in most applications, the placement of the antenna is still very important — if the host device is insufficiently shielded, high levels of broadband or spurious noise can degrade the module’s performance. •Connecting cables between the module and the antenna must have 50 Ohms impedance. If the impedance of the module is mismatched, RF performance is reduced significantly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC 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: The LM63S1 may transmit simultaneously with other collocated radio transmitters within a host device, provided the following conditions are met: 1.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual. 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.
