NOTE: The host connector connects to a 30 way FFC cable from the host system. This connector
has the USB D+/- signals, Serial interface TX/RX signals and the Power and Ground. For more
information on this connector pinout see Host connector section. The user can configure which
interface the NSM shall use to communicate with the host. For more information on host
interface selection see Host Interface Selection section.

Hardware Prerequisites
The following section shows the hardware required for the installation.



Serial or USB host system where the NSM module will connect to.
NFC module and 30 way host FFC cable
Antenna and two U.FL coax cables – If two antennas are used then there will be two set of antenna boards
and four coax cables
NOTE: The Antenna and the U.FL coax cables can be supplied by Access IS or the user can design
the antenna using the support provided by Access IS. U.FL cables are widely available from
electronics stores like RS/Farnell.

5.2. Hardware Installation Steps
The following details the installation steps with diagrams.
1, Turn OFF power for the host system before starting the installation
2, Connect the host system to the NFC module using the 30 way FCC cable as shown below. Please refer to Host
connector section for the connector location and its pinouts.

3, Connect the antenna to the NFC module using the coax cables.
Antenna #0
NSM Module
Antenna #1
NOTE : Antenna coax cables are polarised. Connect the corresponding connectors with +ve
markings and ground (triangle) markings on the antenna and NSM module
NOTE : If single antenna operation is enabled, then firmware uses only Ant #1 – Port J8 and J9. Ant
#0, port J2 and J3 are disabled.
4, After the connections are done, select/verify the correct host interface selection on HOST_IFSEL_IO pins.
Please refer to Host Interface Selection for HOST_IFSEL_IO pin settings.
5, If the product using the NSM module has a host cable, then a ferrite is required to be attached to the host
cable. Please refer Cable Ferrite Specification for the characteristics of the required ferrite and the location of
the ferrite on the host cable.
NOTE : The cable ferrite is required to meet the FCC emissions requirement. The user should ensure
that the cable ferrite is fitted in accordance to the specifications outlined in this manual. Failure to
do so might void the FCC certification.

6, Power up the host system or connect the host adapter to the USB/Serial port. Now, the NFC module and the
smart card module should start working. If the host interface is USB, then NSM module shall start enumerating
as a HID device and a smartcard reader as shown below.
7, Application software can now communicate to NSM module through USB interface or through serial
communication (See Serial Communication Settings).
5.3. Software Setup
Depending on the host interface selected, please refer USB or Serial software reference manual.

6. Cable Ferrite Specification
Each NSM module is shipped with a cable ferrite. This ferrite is required on the host cable (if any) to get the
emissions levels within the acceptable limits. The cable is passed through the ferrite without any loops. The
electrical specification of the ferrite is given below.
The recommended ferrite is from Wurth electronics, Part number – 74 271 111.
The ferrite should be located close to the device (using the NSM module) and it should be spaced 100mm from
the device. The position of the ferrite can be critical with regards to the attenuation of radiated emissions. The
following diagram shows a typical installation.

7. Hardware Connections and Pinouts
There are three connectors that provides interface to the NSM module. Each of these connectors are described
in detail on the following sections.
7.1. Host connector
The host connector provides interface to the NSM host. Further, it also has additional signals that are brought
out of the module for host mode selection and for future expansion. The following diagram shows the location
of the 30 way FFC host connector and the pin#1 location.

If host adapter board is used, then the “0” in the above table denotes jumper installed and “1” denotes jumper
removed.
Note that if any of the HOST_IFSEL_IO pins are left floating, then the module reads that pin as “1”.

If one of the antennas is not available, then, the pair of ports for that antenna can be left unconnected. There is
no need for port termination.
If the module is configured for single antenna, then Antenna #0 is disabled. (Ports J2 and J3 are disabled). The
module uses Antenna #1 (Ports J8 and J9) for NFC communication.
