Cat M1 / NB-IoT Modem

NWK030

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed,

corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although signicant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the

Extrovert family of products are used in a normal manner with a well constructed network, the Extrovert family of products should not

be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to other equipment, the user or any

other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death or loss of property. OnLogic accepts no responsibility for damages of any

kind resulting from failures, delays or errors in data transmitted or received. The purchase and use of the Extrovert family of products

does not come with or constitute a wireless or data plan. A separate plan with your carrier is required.

Limitation of Liability

The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of OnLogic.

OnLogic AND ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL,

CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR

ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY OnLogic PRODUCT, EVEN IF OnLogic AND/OR

ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD

PARTY.

In no event shall OnLogic and/or its aliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the OnLogic product, regardless

of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the OnLogic

product.

Safety and Hazards

CAUTION: For your own safety and to ensure continued proper operation, Extrovert products should not be used where explosive

atmospheres may be present or where radio interference may cause damage to, or disruption in service from, other equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maintain at least 20 cm of separation between the LTE antenna and the user’s body while in regular operation. Do

not use Extrovert products in the vicinity of medical equipment as it may cause potentially disruptive interference.

Do not co-locate an Extrovert-enabled device with any other transmitting system.

To comply with FCC/IC regulations in North America that limit both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation

(SAR), the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only exposure condition must not exceed the limits outlined in the

table on the following page.

Introduction

The NWK030 is based on the SARA-R410M module and provides a single RF interface for connecting the external antenna.

“Cellular” represents the primary RF input/output for transmission and reception of LTE RF signals. The “Cellular” pin of NWK030 has a

nominal characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and must be connected to the primary Tx / Rx antenna through a 50 Ω transmission line to

allow proper RF transmission and reception.

When installed in a OnLogic computer, the “Cellular” interface is connected to an external antenna mount. The external mount uses an

SMA (female) connector. Our line of compatible cellular antennas all use a standard SMA (male) connector.

Cat M1 / NB-IoT Modem

NWK030

A SIM inserted into the Modem will automatically congure to the SIM’s respective network. The connection can be veried by checking

the APN using the command ‘AT+CGDCONT?’. The APN will be congured on Class 1 by default. Connectivity can be veried using a

data test of supported protocol tests outlined in the AT command section or by using the dierent connectivity AT commands outlined

in the AT manual.

Firmware Update

Customers can check for device rmware updates through OnLogic’s NWK030 product page. When rmware is available, end users

can perform Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates to download and ash rmware. Both methods can be aided with applications or

performed within a PuTTY session using the relevant AT commands.

When rmware is available, User can perform a FOTA update via HTTP. The rmware will be hosted at www.onlogic.com/nwk030/.

A FOTA upgrade package is delivered as two phases:

• fwA_to_fwB-Phase1.pkg

• fwA_to_fwB-Phase2.pkg

In the Phase 1 package, the FOTA Update Agent is updated from a full le to delta le Agent. In the Phase 2 package, the remaining

rmware changes are executed. This two package method substantially reduces the overall package size.

USB Update Application

1. Download the Easy Flash application and Firmware Image File.

2. Make sure the Easy Flash application and the .dof Firmware Image le are in the same directory.

Initial Setup

3. Launch the Easy Flash utility as Administrator

4. Select the following options:

Product: SARA-R4

Port: USB

Baud rate: 921600

5. Hit Start and follow instructions provided
