1INTRODUCTION
For evaluation purposes the GlobeTrotter PCI Express mini cards modules are housed in a cradle,
offering a convenient evaluation and development platform. This document further describes the
hardware and software installation and basic usage instructions for Windows XP English edition.

3HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Step-by-step instructions:
(1) Insert the module skew into the cradle and (2) push the module down, so it makes proper contact in
the PCI Express connector. (3) Secure the module with the locking mechanism.
Remark: Fasten the screw of the locking mechanism when it becomes too loose by holding one finger on top of the screw and
turning the leg in counter clockwise direction.
Figure 2: Module and Cradle board
(4) Carefully insert your SIM card in the SIM card holder (with the contact side up), and (5) insert the
holder into the socket, making sure it is aligned correctly. To remove the SIM card holder, (6) press the
small eject button with the tip of a pen (you may need to apply gentle force).

(7) Connect the external antenna (or SMA connector cable for test equipment) to the RF connector on
the module.

(8) Connect the headset into the audio jack (MODULE WILL ALSO WORK PROPERLY EVEN
WITHOUT THIS JACK). Next, (9) connect the power supply plug (the adapter should already be
connected to the mains) to the evaluation platform. And when you are ready you can (10) connect the
USB cable from the GTM cradle to your PC. At this point your module should be detected by the host
PC.

NOTES:
In case a hard reset of the unit is necessary, unplug the power supply and wait until the power led (led closest to the fan) is fully
extinguished before reconnecting the power supply (A large buffer capacitor on the cradle board needs about 10 seconds to
discharge).

(2) Open HyperTerminal with the “Start” menu in Windows:

(3) Normally, you have to do the following two steps only once. If you already have done so in the past
you can skip to step 5. If not, choose a country and an area code. For use with the module, it does not
matter, so just enter anything.
