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.

3 - Inserting the SIM card
To use your MAMBO2-B6 device you have to insert a valid SIM card (that supports SMS, Voice/Data and
GPRS). The SIM card must be either a 1.8 V or 3 V one. Older 5V SIM cards are not compatible with your
MAMBO2-B6 device.
Hint: The SIM card contains your subscription and your mobile number. The SIM card and its
contacts can be damaged by scratches or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting
or removing the SIM card.
Generally, your MAMBO2-B6-EVALKIT is shipped with a SIM card that is installed in the unit’s SIM card
reader. If you would like to use another SIM card or there is no SIM card included, then follow the steps
below:
After the MAMBO2-B6 has been fully charged, disconnect it from the USB Desk Cradle and position
it so that the display is facing up and the SIM/Charge cover is facing you.
Open the the SIM cover (1).
With SIM microchip facing upward and with the bevelled corner oriented on the right side of SIM
insert your SIM card into the SIM card slot (in the upper interface). Thereafter, slide the SIM forward
until it fits into the slot (2).
Close the SIM cover (3).
To remove an inserted SIM card from its slot, first open the cover and then push the SIM card edge
with a pen, fingernail or other suitable pointed object until it jumps out.

4 - Connecting the MAMBO2-B6 to a PC USB port
To be able to transfer data from/to the MAMBO2-B6 device you have to assemble together the docking
station. The docking station was specially designed to provide a stable and secure stand of the
MAMBO2-B6 device on your working surface.
Therefore, mount the Docking station according to these instructions:
1. Unpack the Holding cradle and Base plate from the box and place the Holding cradle on the
Base plate so that the four legs of the cradle are put into the corresponding holes on the plate.
2. Apply light pressure on the cradle towards the base plate to fully insert the two rear legs of the
cradle into the corresponding holes on the Base plate. Both parts will now be firmly attached
to each other.
3. Unpack the USB to Mini-USB cable from the box and position the Mini-USB connector of this
cable forwards and run the cable through the opening at the rear of the cradle to the top.
Insert the Mini-USB connector into the corresponding slot on the cradle. Please ensure the
correct orientation of the connector (the black rectangle on the USB connector should face
forward), otherwise it will not be possible to place the MAMBO2-B6 on the cradle if the
connector has been rotated.
4. To prevent accidental removal of the USB cable from the docking station when tacking the
MAMBO2-B6 out, it is necessarily to fix the cable into the slot in the base.
5. The assembled docking station can now be connected directly to a computer through USB
port.
6. To connect the device to a wall outlet for charging, use the included power adapter.
Figure 4: Mount the docking station and communicate with MAMBO2-B6.
7. When you connect the MAMBO2 device to a PC for the first time, Windows* will announce that
unknown hardware has been found and start a procedure to find the corresponding driver files
and install them.
8. If the USB driver is still not downloaded from the FALCOM's website, (go to: www.falcom.de >
Support > Drivers & Firmware and then select MAMBO2 from the selection box after you
Login using MAMBO2-B6 logging data), download it. Browse the hardware assistant to the
directory where the driver was stored (e.g. D:\Driver). This will help Windows correctly install
the USB driver.
*
For Vista users, log on using the account of the Administrator, otherwise you will not be able to install the USB driver.
For Linux users, refer to the related documents [7]

GETTING STARTED WITH MAMBO2-B6 EVALKIT VERSION 1.0.3
5 - Turning the MAMBO2-B6 On/Off
To turn your device on:
1. Press the right button and when you hear a beep tone release it. The startup process may take
several seconds before the first screen is shown. If the PIN code for the used SIM card is still
not entered, you will be prompted to enter it (a 4 digit secret code). After entering the PIN
code and confirming it with OK, your MAMBO will show the Info view (see description of GUIs
in step 8). The PIN acception does not necessarily imply that your MAMBO2-B6 is registered to
the desired network.
To know whether the GSM network is currently available, select the NET symbol from the
Info view and press the navigation key. If the GSM item on the appeared dialog isn't online,
the GSM network is currently not available. You may be in a bad GSM reception area: change
the location. If the Y symbol on the Info view isn't green, the TCP connection is currently not
available.
Before putting your MAMBO2-B6 in your application, the device should first obtain a valid
GPS-fix. Generally, this takes place automatically each time you turn the device on.
Necessary satellites information will be retrieved to compute a position fix. Each time you
turn on the device there are some differences in obtaining a GPS fix depending on the how
long the device has been turned off and how far you have traveled since the last time you
turned on. The MAMBO2-B6 will probably need a clear, unobstructed view of the sky until
the device gets the first GPS fix.
By default, your MAMBO2-B6 starts automatically the screen saver after 2 minutes of
inactivity.
2. To turn off your device, either switch to the Shutdown off view on Standard GUI, press the
SHUTDOWN item and confirm it with OK (on Simple GUI press the left key and to shutdown
press and hold the left soft key for longer than 2 seconds) or push the Reset button with a
suitable object (the reset pin is built into the " Reset" hole under the cover). The reset pin into
the "Reset" hole may be damaged if you use it quite often or use force on it (You don't feel a
click. You will only see that the display goes off while pushing the reset pin).

MAMBO2-B6 contains an autonomous software that provides even greater performance and flexibility
for its users and system integrators to develop high-performance applications for vertical and horizontal
market. It allows to set and poll device configuration remotely from an Internet server over TCP by
GPRS, via SMS or data call. The software comprises a set of word-like commands termed “PFAL". Each
command causes the system MAMBO2-B6 either to take a particular action or to read, set a particular
configuration. MAMBO2-B6-EVALKIT is factory-pre-loaded with a basic configuration as starting points
for creating your applications. This configuration is primarily intended to exercise the hardware and
software features for your test purposes and allows you quickly and easy to start the evaluation
processes. It also allows you to simply change the configuration and customise it to your own needs.
References how to customize the configuration of your MAMBO2-B6 device are available in the manual
"MAMBO2B6_PFALCommandsReferenceGuide.pdf". When turning on your MAMBO2-B6 included in
the EVALKIT, it connects automatically to the FALCOM application server without making any changes
inside the device configuration.
To get connected to the FALCOM application server, only a computer (PC client) with a preinstalled web browser and internet connection is necessary from the user side. Furthermore, how
to login to this server, refer to the chapter 3.4.
3.4 FALCOM Trace4You application software
FALCOM Trace4You with a permanent high-speed internet connection enables each MAMBO2-B6-
EVALKIT user to login and view all MAMBO2-B6 from any browser anywhere in the world. It allows

$PFAL,CNF.Set,ALIAS.SYS.TIMER0=_2SEC
To have a better overview of the configuration inside the MAMBO2 device, it is recommended to
define alias names to some parameters that will be most used in your configuration. For example,
here the alias name for the TIMER0 is defined to _2SEC it means the the TIMER0 has an OnTime of
2000 msec. This Timer can be used in your configuration as "SYS.TIMER_2SEC" and its event as
"SYS.TIMER.e_2SEC".
$PFAL,CNF.Set,ALIAS.SYS.TIMER1=_7SEC
The alias name for the TIMER1 is defined to _7SEC it means the the TIMER1 has an OnTime of 7000
msec. This Timer can be used in your configuration as "SYS.TIMER_7SEC" and its event as
"SYS.TIMER.e_7SEC".
$PFAL,CNF.Set,ALIAS.SYS.TIMER2=_20SEC
The alias name for the TIMER2 is defined to _20SEC it means the the TIMER2 has an OnTime of 20000
msec. This Timer can be used in your configuration as "SYS.TIMER_20SEC" and its event as
"SYS.TIMER.e_20SEC".
