Important Notices and Warnings
Important Notice
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.
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 below.
*Important: The FCC and IC have a strict EIRP limit in Band 30 for mobile and portable stations in order to protect adjacent satelite
radio, aeronautical mobile telemetry, and deep space network operations. Mobile and portable stations must not have antenna gain
exceeding 1 dBi in Band 30. Additionally, both the FCC and IC prohibit the use of external vehicle-mounted antennas for mobile and
portable stations in this band.

Extrovert 4G LTE Modem for AT&T
NWK100
Product Information
Product Description
The OnLogic NWK100 is based on the PCI Express Mini Card standard with a USB 2.0 interface and utilizes UBLOX TOBY-L200 Cellular
Module.
The NWK100 is an available option within OnLogic’s full range of industrial PCs. See www.onlogic.com to select your PC platform. Add
4G LTE connectivity during the system conguration stage. Unless specically authorized, the NWK100 is not available for individual
sale as a component.
High Speed Connectivity
Based on UBLOX TOBY-L200 Cellular Module, OnLogic 4G modem supports the latest 4G and 3G networks in North America. The mPCIe
form factor allows easy integration into smaller and thinner devices. Optimized for low power consumption, OnLogic 4G modems are
ideal for today’s mobile computing, networking, and industrial IoT applications. This powerful LTE module supports throughput of up to
150 Mb/s with LTE Cat 4.
Antenna RF interfaces (ANT1 / ANT2)
NWK100 is based on UBLOX TOBY-L200 module and provides two RF interfaces for connecting the external antennas:
The ANT1 represents the primary RF input/output for transmission and reception of LTE/3G/2G RF signals. The ANT1 pin of NWK100
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.
The ANT2 represents the secondary RF input for the reception of the LTE RF signals for the Down-Link MIMO 2 x 2 radio technology
supported by NWK100 as required feature for LTE category 4 UEs, and for the reception of 3G RF signals for the Down-Link Rx diversity
radio technology supported by NWK100 as additional feature for 3G DC-HSDPA category 24 UEs. The ANT2 pin of NWK100 has a
nominal characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and must be connected to the secondary Rx antenna through a 50 Ω transmission line to
allow proper RF reception.
USB in Windows
USB drivers are provided for Windows operating system platforms can be obtained from the NWK100 product page at www.onlogic.
com.
USB drivers are available for the following operating system platforms:
• Windows Vista
• Windows 7
• Windows 8
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 10
• Windows Embedded CE 6.0
• Windows Embedded Compact 7
• Windows Embedded Compact 2013
The module rmware can be upgraded over the USB interface by means of the FOTA feature, or using the u-blox EasyFlash tool.
USB in Linux/Android
It is not required to install a specic driver for each Linux-based or Android-based operating system (OS) to use the module USB
interface, which is compatible with standard Linux/Android USB kernel drivers. The full capability and conguration of the module USB
interface can be reported by running “lsusb –v” or an equivalent command available in the host operating system when the module is
connected.

Setting up AT terminal applications for communication with NWK100
1. Determine which COM port is being used by the NWK100. Open the Windows Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), then open the
Modems yout and right click the u-blox Modem device. Right-click Properties. On the Modem tab, the COM device used is listed at the
top.
2. Run the AT terminal application (e.g. puTTY), select Serial in the connection type and congure the port with these settings:
• Data rate: 115200 b/s
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: N
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: HW
3. Click Open.
4. The AT terminal is ready to use. For the complete list of AT commands supported by the modules and their syntax, see the u-blox AT
Commands Manual.

NWK100 setup for Internet browsing (Windows)
Use the AT terminal to enter the following AT command lines:
1. Perform the following procedure to activate an external PDP context with the preferred APN:
Command sent bt DTE (user) DCE response (module) Description
AT+UBMCONF? +UBMCONF: 1
OK
Check the +UBMCONF <networking_mode>, which must be 1 =
Router mode (as the factory-programmed value) for the context
activation procedure herein described.
AT+CFUN=4 OK Set the module in airplane mode. The module will deregister from
network and both RF Tx and RF Rx will be disabled.
AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”ibox.ti
m.it”
OK Dene a PDP context with preferred APN: in this example, the “ibox.
tim.it” APN is selected.
AT+UCGDFLT=1,”IP”,”ibox.ti
m.it”
OK Dene the initial PDP context with preferred APN. This will be
activated only if the module registers to an LTE network.
AT+CFUN=1 OK Set the module to full functionality. The module starts the
automatic network registration.
AT+CPIN? +CPIN: READY
OK
Check the SIM PIN status and act accordingly.
AT+COPS? +COPS: 0,0,”I TIM”,7
OK
Check the +COPS <AcT> and act accordingly:
If <Act> = 7 (LTE, as it is in this example)
Then no further action is needed
Else activate the context with +CGACT as following:
Command sent by DTE DCE Response
AT+CGACT=1,1 OK
AT+CGCONTRDP +CGCONTRDP: 4,5,”ibox.tim.
it.mnc001.mcc222.gprs”,”5.16
8.209.178.255.255.255.255”,”
5.168.209.178”,”83.224.70.94
”,”83.224.56.132”,”0.0.0.0”,”
0.0.0.0”,0
OK
Check the DNS primary server address: in this example, the DNS
primary server address is 83.224.70.94.
2. Open “Network and Sharing Center” and click on Local Area Connection (associated to RNDIS interface):
