After the module is powered on, the PWR light is on normally, the NET light is flashing normally, and it will automatically connect to the Internet. If the Internet cannot be automatically accessed, we can also use NDIS or PPPD to connect to the Internet.
NDIS Dail Up
The operation steps of Windows NDIS dial-up are as follows:
1. Open the SIM7600 AT port and send commands (when using SSCOM to generate AT commands, you must check "add carriage return and line feed").
AT$QCRMCALL=1,1 //must add carriage return
2. At this time, the NDIS dial-up takes effect, and the computer can connect to the network.
PPPD Dail Up
PPPD dialing method, the operation steps are as follows:
GNSS Positioning
GPS Positioning Performance
- Plug in the GPS antenna and place the receiver outdoors (note that the positioning time will increase significantly in rainy weather), and it takes about 1 minute to receive the positioning signal after powering on;
- The AT test command is as follows:
AT+CGPS=1 //Open GPS AT+CGPSINFO //Print the GPS information to the UART port AT+CGPS=0 //Close GPS
After using AT+CGPS=1 to open GPS, you can directly obtain the positioning information in the serial port with NMEA in the serial port name, or you can use AT+CGPSINFO to print out the positioning information on the AT port.

It may be that the APN has not been obtained. Generally, the APN can be obtained automatically. In some regions (IoT cards), it needs to be obtained manually. For example, it can be set by the following command:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN" //The APN of different operators is different, here the APN is changed to the corresponding operator
You can check the APNs of major operators on the following websites: APN Website
{{{5}}}
It can be set by the following command:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IPV6","APN" //Switch to IPV6, the APN of different operators is different, pay attention to distinguish the settings AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN" //Switch back to IPV4

- Generally, the default configuration of SIM7600 is to automatically select the network standard, and it is likely to choose 2G Internet access; if you need to force the use of 4G mode, you need to enter the following AT command configuration:
AT+CNMP=38 //Fixed 4G LTE, if there is no 4G coverage in the local area, it may not be able to register to the network
- If 4G has been fixed, but the speed is still not ideal, it may be a frequency band problem;
AT+CNBP? //Back up the current frequency band (the returned frequency band information can be copied to Notepad, etc.)
AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400183,0x000001E000000000,0x0000000000000021 //After returning OK, measure the speed
AT+CNBP=0x0002000004400180,0x000001E000000000,0x000000000000003F //If the speed does not improve, try this

System Firmware
- Make sure your system kernel is above 5.4. Do not use sudo update to upgrade the Raspberry Pi to the latest version. This will upgrade the kernel version to a version higher than the current firmware and it will not be recognized.
- It is recommended to use the more convenient RNDIS dial.
- Can burn the latest Raspberry Pi Raspbian system and reconfigure NDIS dial-up.
- Or use the image that has been configured with the driver. NDIS dial-up and start automatically. Raspbian system image (with the driver installed).
{{{5}}}
The new driver may not be compatible with some WIN7 systems, you can try with the old driver:
- SIM7600-Driver.7z
