DEVELOPER’S KIT AND DEVELOPER’S BOARD OVERVIEW

Chapter 1 – Developer’s Kit and Developer’s Board
Overview

Welcome

Thank you for using the MultiConnect open communications gateway embedded (MultiConnect™ OCG-E)
developer’s kit. This guide describes how to use the kit to design, develop and test custom applications for your
business. This chapter describes the gateway product, the developer board, and other kit contents. It also includes
safety notices that you can include in your product’s documentation, if desired.

Product Overview

The MultiConnect™ OCG-E helps you quickly create custom applications. The gateway is made up of an open Linux
development environment and fully certified hardware. The gateway includes multiple interfaces (serial, USB,
Ethernet and SD card) and internal peripherals (including a cellular modem and a GPS receiver) in one, application­ready end user solution. This gateway is ideal for companies with hardware and software competencies and
provides maximum design flexibility.

Applications that require device networking capability can now reside directly on select Multi-Tech gateways. This
product brings together a cellular hardware development kit, Multi-Tech’s CoreCDP Linux distribution and a
complete Linux build environment, allowing you to quickly create custom applications. The MultiConnect OCG-E
gateway provides a flexible, quick and cost-effective way to bring your solution to market.

For detailed information about the CoreCDP Development Platform, please visit the Multi-Tech website at:
http://www.multitech.net/

DEVELOPER’S KIT AND DEVELOPER’S BOARD OVERVIEW

6 MultiConnect® OCG-E MT100EOCG-EV3 Developer Guide

DEVELOPER’S KIT AND DEVELOPER’S BOARD OVERVIEW

The developer’s board is available without a cellular modem. You can also develop your solution by choosing an
MT100EOCG model that uses the standard you desire:

GPRS, by selecting the MT100EOCG-G2 model

HSPA or HSDPA, by selecting the MT100EOCG-H5 model

EV-DO Rev A, by selecting the MT100EOCG-EV3 model

For complete ordering details, see the section “Product Ordering Options” in this manual. An illustration of an
MT100EOCG gateway follows. Your gateway may look slightly different, depending on the type of model you select
(-G2, -H5, -EV3 or gateway without cellular modem).

Developer’s Board Components

The developer board is an auxiliary board that helps you develop and debug products that use an embedded
MT100EOCG gateway. Using the developer board, you can connect the embedded MT100EOCG gateway to your
device.

The developer board provides multiple interfaces, such as USB, serial, Ethernet and SD card. The test points of key
signals are led out on the developer board. In addition, the board is designed with switches or pins of commonly
used signals such as the reset signal and the enable signal for converting the working state of the gateway. You can
use the board to test the performance of the gateway.

You can implement both the wired connection test and the wireless connection test (connect the gateway model
to the antennas). You can also test the signal points when you maintain and repair the gateway.

The board provides two, universal socket connectors that give you the option to develop and test your solutions
that might include Wi-Fi or other types of technologies.
