Preface
u-blox Technical Documentation
As part of our commitment to customer support, u-blox maintains an extensive volume of technical documentation
for our products. In addition to our product-specific technical data sheets, the following manuals are available to
assist u-blox customers in product design and development.
AT Commands Manual: This document provides the description of the AT commands supported by the
u-blox cellular modules.
System Integration Manual: This document provides the description of u-blox cellular modules’ system from
the hardware and the software point of view, it provides hardware design guidelines for the optimal
integration of the cellular modules in the application device and it provides information on how to set up
production and final product tests on application devices integrating the cellular modules.
Application Note: These documents provide guidelines and information on specific hardware and/or
software topics on u-blox cellular modules. See Related documents for a list of Application Notes related to
your Cellular Module.
How to use this Manual
The TOBY-L2 and MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual provides the necessary information to successfully
design and configure the u-blox cellular modules.
This manual has a modular structure. It is not necessary to read it from the beginning to the end.
The following symbols are used to highlight important information within the manual:
An index finger points out key information pertaining to module integration and performance.
A warning symbol indicates actions that could negatively impact or damage the module.
