EVK-N2 - User guide 1.8 Board setup 1. Insert a SIM card into the SIM card holder (J300 on the EVB). 2. Connect a cellular antenna (provided with the evaluation kit) to the Cellular antenna SMA connector on the ADP-N2 (ANT, RF input/output for transmission and reception of NB-IoT RF signals) 3. - Page 12 EVK-N2 - User guide 8. It is possible to access SARA-N2 module’s secondary / auxiliary UART for diagnostic purpose. To do so: Connect a USB cable to the mini USB connector (Cellular USB, J501 on EVB). LED DL501 lights blue. In this case, two COM ports are enabled with Windows (the numbering of the COM ports can be seen via the Windows Device Manager): SARA-N2 UART interface is available over the first COM port (for AT commands and data)
