NDIS dial-up Internet access

  • At present, when using Windows 10 operating system, you can connect to 4G DONGLE module (equipped with 4G card of China Mobile/Telecom/Unicom). After installing the driver, most computers will automatically connect to the Internet.
  • If WINdows cannot access the Internet, you need to manually start NDIS dialing, open SIM7600 AT port, and send the command:
AT$QCRMCALL=1,1+enter

SIM820 dial.png
At this point, the NDIS dialing takes effect, and the computer can connect to the network; if the dialing command returns an error, send the following command to set the NDIS dialing mode and then dial again:

AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9001,1,1

RNDIS Dial-Up Internet

In addition, dial-up Internet access using RNDIS is also possible:

  • After the device installed SIM card and antenna, connect the USB port to computer, then connect the power supply.
  • Refer to the above to install the USB driver
  • Open the serial port assistant, find the serial port number corresponding to the AT serial port, and send the AT command to check whether it is registered on the network:
AT+CPSI?  
  • If you have successfully registered on the network, then send the AT command to enable USB dial-up Internet access:
AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9011,1,1
  • If the transmission is successful, the DTU will return OK and reboot automatically.
  • And then you can find that there are some unrecognized devices in the Device Manager on the computer, such as RNDIS (with exclamation mark).

AT+CLBS=? //View the range of parameters that can be set
AT+CNETSTART//Open the network; if it fails to open the network, you can use the command AT+CNETSTOP to close and then open
AT+CLBS=1 //Get the current latitude and longitude
AT+CLBS=2 //Get the detailed address


Calling SMS

 Answer:

The VOLTE function can be enabled with the following command:

at+voltesetting=1
at+cnv=/nv/item_files/modem/mmode/ue_usage_setting,1,01,1

The VOLTE function can be disabled with the following command:

at+voltesetting=0
at+cnv=/nv/item_files/modem/mmode/ue_usage_setting,0,01,1

Note: The difference between Volte calls and regular phone calls: The network of Microsoft calls goes on a packet-switched Internet network. And ordinary phone calls take the circuit-switched (PSTN network) communication network. There is a fundamental difference between the two. By the time of 4G LTE, the packet network can control the delay to low enough, and ordinary phones can make calls directly through VOLTE with the packet network. However, in places where the network is poor, circuit-switched networks are still inseparable.

 Answer:

This problem is generally caused by poor contact between the SIM card and the SIM card holder of the module.


 Answer:
  • Confirm whether the frequency band supported by the IoT card covers the frequency band supported by the module.
  • APN is not set, please use the following command to configure APN.
  • Note: Different operators' APNs is different, here the APN is changed to the corresponding operator.
  • It may be blocked, high traffic (real-name IoT) cards are going to be machine card binding, and can only be used on a device (the State Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, issued to the operator must be so); you can let the IoT card operator check the status of the card and unlock the next.

 Answer:

1) The AUX auxiliary antenna is a diversity antenna, the main antenna signal is not good enough to receive the signal with the receiving antenna, and the physical location is not the same, there is always a better, diversity antenna connected to the bandwidth and rate sensitivity will be increased by about 20%.
2) No diversity antenna can make the receiver obtain a maximum of not more than 3db diversity gain, but the diversity does not line any transmitting function, so to connect to the main antenna, transmit the signal to the base station registered to the network, the auxiliary antenna will only work.

System Firmware

 Answer:
  • Make sure your system kernel is above 5.4. Do not use sudo update to upgrade the Raspberry Pi to the latest version, otherwise, the kernel version will be upgraded to a version higher than the current firmware and will not be recognized.
  • It is recommended to use the more convenient RNDIS dial
  • You can burn the latest Raspberry Pi Raspbian system and reconfigure the NDIS dial-up
  • Or use the image that has been configured with the driver NDIS dial-up self-starting Raspbian system image (driver installed)


 Answer:

The new driver may not be compatible with some WIN7 systems, you can try the old driver:

  • SIM7600 old driver
  • SIM7600 new driver
  • 1. Download the driver.
  • 2. Connect the 4G HAT to a Windows computer as shown in the hardware connection diagram above (Windows 10 OS is used as an example below)
  • 3. Make sure the module has been powered on properly: refer to the previous section "Switching on and off the module"
  • 4. Open Device Manager->Other Devices->"SimTech, Incorporated "-> Update Driver -> Browse My Computer to find the driver file -> According to the system, select the path where the driver file is stored -> Installation is complete.
  • 5. Install all the recognized devices and drivers:

 Answer:
SIM7600X-FAQ (6).png

1. Pay attention to check the device manager, the upgrade process will prompt the new device inserted, and the first upgrade will not have a device driver;
2. Pay attention to the USB cable, the USB cable rate is high during the upgrade process, so you need to choose a better quality USB cable to avoid poor contact.
3. Need to run the upgrade tool with administrator privilege (SIM7500_SIM7600_QDL V1.41 only for Update).
4. Uninstall and reinstall the update tool (SIM7500_SIM7600_QDL V1.41 only for Update).
