1 Overview
This Document is intended to provide the user complete instructions on the capabilities and use of
the Wavecom Starter Kit. The Wavecom Starter Kit is designed to allow the customer to interface to
the Wavecom Q2300 and Q2400 CDMA and GSM/GPRS Module families. Control of the Module is
done via AT Commands issued from an external PC running a terminal emulator, such as
HyperTerminal. The User should refer to the Wavecom CDMA AT Commands Interface
Specification for more information on supported commands.

2 Product Description
The Wavecom Starter Kit includes the following:
Interface Board
The Interface Board provides a working platform for testing and evaluating the performance of the
Module, as well as allowing customer design of host software interfaces.
Module
One Wavecom module is included with the Starter Kit and comes pre-assembled on the Interface
Board. The Module is soldered down via its four Ground contact pins, and is also mated to the 60
pin board-to-board connector of the Interface Board.
Handset
The Handset contains a standard telephony earpiece and microphone, providing a full audio
interface to the Module through the Interface Board connectors.
Serial Cable
The Serial Cable connects the Interface Board to the controlling PC.
Antenna and RF Adapter
The Antenna provides sufficient omni-directional gain to allow the module to go over the air on the
network. An Antenna Adapter is provided to allow the Antenna Cable to connect to the RF
Connector of the Module.
Power Adapter
The included Power Adapter allows for use of the Starter Kit without the need for a lab power supply.
The Adapter can source enough current to support CDMA, GSM, and GPRS modules at full transmit
power, as well as the operation of the Interface Board. Some Kits may include a lab power supply
cable instead of, or in addition to, the Power Adapter.
3 Description of the Interfaces
3.1 Power
A standard DC Power Jack is provided on the Interface Board. The included Power Adapter can be
used to supply the Module and Interface Board via this jack.

Alternatively a lab power supply capable of supplying at least 3.8Vdc at 2.0Amps can be used. The
advantage of the lab power supply is in allowing the user to monitor the current drain of the Module
to help determine its operating state.
The Power Jack has a center positive connection, if a lab supply or other external source is used. A
cable for this purpose is available.
3.2 Computer
The Interface Board communicates with the controlling PC through standard RS-232 Interfaces.
Two such interfaces are provided, however the typical customer application will only require one of
these (DATA).
3.2.1 DATA
The DATA Interface, J200, provides a full 8 wire RS-232 interface with the PC. This interface
supports the AT Commands; the Diagnostic (DM) information; and high speed data.
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for this port are included on the Interface Board on the RX, TX, DTR,
DSR, RTS, CTS and DCD lines to indicate the state of the line. The red LED indicates a negative
voltage on the RS-232 (Logic 1) and the green LED indicates a positive voltage on the RS-232
(Logic 0).
3.2.2 DM
The DM Interface, J201, provides a 2 wire RS-232 interface for Diagnostic information only. The
typical customer application should not require this interface as all functionality of the DM Interface is
now supported through the DATA Interface as well.
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for this port are included on the Interface Board on both the RX and TX
lines to indicate the state of the line. The red LED indicates a negative voltage on the RS-232 (Logic
1) and the green LED indicates a positive voltage on the RS-232 (Logic 0).
3.3 Switches and Jumpers
3.3.1 ON/OFF Switch
There is a slide switch, SW101, located on the back edge of the Interface Board. This switch
interfaces directly to the ON/OFF control line of the Module, via pin 6 of the board-to-board
connector. Sliding the switch in the “OFF” direction will pull the line low, causing the Module to shut
off. Sliding the switch in the “ON” direction will pull the line high, turning on the Module and keeping
it in the ON state.
