FAQ

 Answer:

In this case, it may be that you have not successfully connected to the network, you can follow the steps below to troubleshoot:
1. First check the hardware connection:

  • Check if the MAIN antenna is connected properly;
  • Whether the connected SIM card can communicate and surf the Internet normally on mobile phones and other devices:
  • If the Raspberry Pi is connected, whether the module enters airplane mode;

2. After confirming that there is no problem with the hardware, the software can use these instructions:

  • Check if the sim card is in good contact: AT+CPIN?
  • Check if the network mode setting is correct: AT+CNMP?
  • Check the signal quality of the current environment: AT+CSQ
  • Check carrier access:AT+COPS?
  • Check internet connection:AT+CPSI?

 Answer:

Set up as below:

AT+CGDCONT=1, "IPV6", "APN" //Switch to IPV6, different operators APN is different, pay attention to distinguish the settings
AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "APN" //Switch back to IPV4

 Answer:
  • Under normal circumstances, SIM7600X has already dialed automatically when it is connected to the Windows system, no need to repeat the dialing, the repeated dialing will return NO CARRIER
  • If you still cannot dial up, please use the following command to change to the Windows default dial-up mode
    AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9001,1,1 
  • The display is turned off and the mobile network is not enabled, you can ignore it and go online directly;

SIM7600 NET work driver.png

  • 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+CNBP=0x0002000004400180,0x000001E000000000,0x000000000000003F   //If the speed doesn't improve, try this

 Answer:
GNSS parameter problem, after restarting the module, initialize the GNSS parameters with the following command can be;
AT+CGPSNMEA=197119

Or you can use the following commands to obtain the position information.

AT+CGPSINFOCFG=10,31

SIM7600X gets the latitude and longitude in units, we commonly use degrees as the unit, please see below for more details.

{{{5}}}


 Answer:

Common commands for LBS base station positioning function of SIM7600X are as follows:

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:
SIM7600X makes a call and the phone answers
ATD131xxxxx816.

Record SIM7600 and phone sound to module memory E disk (record to memory card read D)
AT+CREC=3, "e:/rec.wav"   

End recording
AT+CREC=0

Play sound to the phone side to listen
AT+CCMXPLAYWAV="E:/rec.wav",1

Play sound to SIM7600
AT+CCMXPLAYWAV="E:/rec.wav",2

End playback
AT+CCMXSTOPWAV

 Answer:

If the short message is stored in the SIM card, the limit is generally 50. You can use the command: AT+CPMS? make an inquiry.



 Answer:
  • Confirming that the SIM7600X is registered to the network and that the SIM card can send and receive SMS messages properly on devices such as cell phones;
  • Setting the correct SMS center number;
  • Initialize the SMS settings with the following command:
AT+CSCS="IRA"
AT+CSMP=17,167,0,0

Hardware FAQ

 Answer:

Support SIM standard (Standard) card, as shown in the figure below, if it is a Micro or Nano card, you need to add a card sleeve.
SIM card size.png


 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) AUX auxiliary antenna is a diversity antenna, the main antenna signal is not good 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:

SIM7600G-H 4G09.jpg



 Answer:
SIM7600X-FAQ (6).png

1. Pay attention to checking 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).
