2 OVERVIEW
EVALKIT provides all the necessary hardware, software, and documentation to effectively operate and
evaluate the performance and suitability of the MAMBO2-B6 unit. MAMBO2-B6 in the EVALKIT is
shipped pre-configured allowing system integrators and application developers to test the system and
see how does the MAMBO2-B6 device work. The only necessary to be added is a computer (PC client)
with internet enabled and a pre-installed web browser.
After completing the installation of the EVALKIT, using the factory pre-loaded configuration, without any
changes by the user, the MAMBO2-B6 connects itself automatically to the FALCOM application server
that provides two-way communication in real time. User-configuration can be accomplished locally via
USB and remotely via SMS or GPRS/Internet. To debug your MAMBO2-B6 locally, connect your
MAMBO2-B6 to your own PC via USB and with the help of the Workbench software you are able to send
commands to and get responses from your MAMBO2-B6 device.
For a complete description about the configuration commands set and how to develop application with
MAMBO2-B6, please download the corresponding manuals from the FALCOM web site
http://www.falcom.de/. A brief description for each document is given in chapter 1.2, "Related
documents".
