9.7.1 Short Description
Telit supplies the Evaluation Kit for Telit GE863-PRO
3
modules to assist the designer in developing his
own applications based on GE863-PRO
3
Telit module.
The GE863-PRO
3
EVK is formed by a mother board and a dedicated Telit module Interface Board
with RF antenna connectors.
It provides a fully functional solution for a complete M2M application.
The motherboard has a power supply and is equipped with SIM card housing, RS 232 serial port level
translator, direct USB2.0 Host & Device connection, Smartcard ISO7816 slot, SD-MMC Card slot and
10/100 Mb Ethernet.
The only items you have to provide are:
1) a personal computer or microcontroller ;
2) a SIM card with a valid Network subscription;
3) a power supply
The connection between the GE863-PRO
3
EVK and your PC (or other DTE) are realized by standard
RS232 ports.
The communications between the application ARM and Telit GPRS Engine is realized connecting the
Asynchronous Serial Interfaces of the module’s ARM&GSM/GPRS by setting appropriately the
Jumpers.
Furthermore the communications between ARM and GSM/GPRS can be analyzed with two “sniffed”
serial ports that can report both sides of the ARM-GSM/GPRS serial channel.
