AT command sending and receiving test

  1. Download serial debugging assistant: SIM7600 serial debugging assistant
  2. Open the device manager, find the port number corresponding to AT Port; then open the sscom software, select the corresponding port and baud rate, check "Add carriage return and line feed"; click the sscom "Extension" button and pull out the preset It is best to open the serial port and send the corresponding AT command to test. The test screenshot is shown below:
Sim7600CE-4.png

Dailing up

PC Windows

  • Usually, when we use the Windows 10 operating system, make sure that the hardware and software drivers are installed. 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 connected, we can also use NDIS or PPPD to connect to the Internet.

NDIS

The steps for Windows NDIS dialing are as follows:
1. Open the SIM7600 AT port, and send the command (if using SSCOM to generate AT command, you must check "Enter"):

AT$QCRMCALL=1,1 //must press "Enter"

Enter.png
2. At this point, the NDIS dialing takes effect, and the computer can connect to the network.

RNDIS Dial Up

Remote NDIS (RNDIS) allows writing NDIS miniport device drivers for network devices attached to the USB bus without the need for hardware vendors. RNDIS achieves this by defining a bus-independent set of messages and describing how this message set operates over the USB bus. As this remote NDIS interface is standardized, a set of host drivers can support any number of network devices attached to the USB bus. This significantly reduces the development burden for device manufacturers, enhances overall system stability by eliminating the need for new drivers, and improves the end-user experience.

  • Install the SIM card and the antenna on the device, connect the USB cable to the PC, and provide the power supply.
  • Install USB driver.
  • Open the serial port assistant, find the corresponding COM port to the AT serial port, and send:
AT+CPSI? //Query whether to register the network
  • If the network is registered successfully, SIM7600X can send the AT command to enable USB dial-up:
at+Cusbpidswitch=9011,1,1
  • SIM820X sends AT commands to enable the USB dial-up:
at+cusbcfg=usbid,1e0e,9011
  • Successfully sent, and received as 'OK,' and the Dongle will automatically reboot.
  • Observing the Device Manager, it's noticed that some unrecognized devices have appeared, such as RNDIS (with an exclamation mark):
  • Right-click on RNDIS, go to the device software search window, and choose 'Browse my computer.' Select 'Network Adapter' from the device list.
  • In the network adapter window, choose Microsoft Corporation from the manufacturer list, then select 'Remote NDIS Compatible Device' from the list on the right-hand side.
  • Click 'Next' and wait for the installation to finish; the RNDIS Kitl device will be successfully installed. With this, the dial-up function setup is complete, and it can be seen that the PC can access the internet through the Dongle.

GNSS Control Example

  • Connect the GPS antenna and place the receiver with the label facing downwards in an open outdoor area (note: testing cannot be done during rainy weather). It takes about 1 minute after powering on to receive a positioning signal.
  • Detailed testing instructions and screenshots are provided below:
AT+CGPS=1	  //Open GPS
AT+CGPSINFO      //Print GPS message to the serial port 
AT+CGPS=0       //Turn off GPS

SIM7600E-H 4G DTU GNSS.png

Call Phone

  • Refer to the "Hardware Configuration" chapter to connect the LTE antenna, SIM card (the phone function must be enabled), and the headset cable with microphone, and the module is turned on.
  • Common commands for making calls:
AT+CNUM Check the phone number (not all SIM cards support this command) +CNUM
OK
AT+CSDVC AT+CSDVC=1: switch to headphone output
AT+CSDVC=3: switch to speaker output
OK
AT+CLVL=? Query volume range OK
AT+CLVL=2 set volume to 2 OK
ATD<phone_number>; ATD10086; Dial Mobile customer service phone number 10086 OK
AT+CHUP set volume to 2 OK
AT+CLIP=1 Set up caller ID OK
ATA Answering the Phone OK
  • The detailed operation screenshots are as follows:

  • After installing the driver, the network card shows that it is enabled

SIM7600 dial up succeed.png


 Answer:
  • 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 local 4G coverage, you may not be able to register to the network

Firm 4G LTE.png

  • If 4G has been fixed and the speed is still not ideal, it may be a frequency band problem;
AT+CNBP?  //Backup the current band (the returned band information can be copied to Notepad, etc.)
AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400183,0x000001E000000000,0x0000000000000021    //After returning to OK, measure the speed

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

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).
