SIM Card
The SIM interface is intended for 1.8 / 3V SIM cards. A SIM detect pin is
added to indicate whether or not a SIM card is inserted.
Antenna
The 3G/4G and GPS antenna interface uses a SMA connector. Attach the
external antenna to the modem and tighten the connection.

Setting up the modem
Prepare the SIM Card. Before using the modem, you must contact a network
operator to get a personal SIM card. Do acquire the UMTS/GPRS APN, User-ID
and Password from your network operator.
Insert SIM card into the modem.
Connect the antenna to the modem.
Connect the modem communication interface to your device. Connect the modem
serial link interface to your device.
Power up the modem. Connect the interface cable RJ-45 plug to the input
Power Supply respectively. The status indicator LED will light up
instantly. The modem is now ready to use.
Communicate with the modem. The modem is now ready to communicate with
your device. From your device, send AT<Enter> command to modem. If
device received an OK response from modem, the communication is
successfully established. The signal Strength LED ON and blinking.

Basic Command
Configuring HyperTerminal for Modem:
1. Connect the Modem to the PC COM port and run the HyperTerminal
software.
2. You will be prompted to enter a description for the new connection.
Enter a name for the connection (e.g. “TEST”) and click OK to
continue.
3. In the Connect to dialog box, select the PC COM port number, which is
connected to the modem, and click OK to continue.
4. In the next prompted dialog box, enter the COM port settings which is
configured in the modem and click OK to continue.
Note: Default settings for the modem are:
5. The Connected text in HyperTerminal status bar indicates that the PC
is ready to communicate with the modem. Perform a simple check on
the connection between HyperTerminal and the modem:
The following are some other AT command examples you can use:
AT Command Description
AT+CPIN? This command is used to
send the ME a password
which is necessary before
it can be operated
AT+CSQ This command is used to
return received signal
strength indication
AT+CREG? This command is used to
check on modem
registration to the
network
AT+CGMR This command is used to
query for modem firmware
version number

MANUAL

Enter AT Enter command.
An OK response
This section suggests examples for some basic functions using Text command
sending short messages.
Set short message format as Text mode.
AT+CMGF=1 Enter
Check whether SMS center (SMSC) number is set to SIM card.
AT+CSCA? Enter
Send a message to a phone number.
AT+CMGS= “Phone number” Enter
Hello Ctrl-Z
Wait for +CMGS for the result of sending SMS.
+CMGS: mr
Indicates that the SMS has been sent successfully.

Trouble shooting
The modem is not power up
Check whether the LED Status (Green) on the modem is lighted up. If it is
not lighted up, check whether the modem is supplied with the correct
voltage range between 5V to 24VDC.
The SIM Card is not ready
Check whether the LED Status (Green) on and blinking. Check whether the SIM
Card to enabled.
Can use AT+CPIN? to request for PIN status. The status Ready is SIM Card
complete.
Unable to register to the network
Check the modem status indicator. The LED should be blinking if the modem
is registered to the network.
Use AT+CREG? Command to request for the registration status. Check the we
strength of the network using AT+CSQ command. You should receive a +CSQ
response (+CSQ: {rssi}, {ber}). If the rssi value is 99, it means the
network is unknown or undetectable.
Cannot enter AT Commands or no communication between device and modem
Check whether the modem is powered up. Check whether the SIM Lock is turned
on. Check whether the communication interface port is connected properly.
Check whether the port settings are correct. Ensure that both modem and
your device are communicating with the same settings (such as baud rate,
data bits, stop bits and parity).

MANUAL

Cannot connect to WCDMA/GPRS
Check whether the modem is powered up. Check whether the SIM Lock is turned
on. Check whether the modem is registered to the network. Check whether
the SIM card supports WCDMA/GPRS Service. You can verify it with the
network service provider. If the SIM card supports WCDMA/GPRS service,
check whether the APN settings are correct. Use AT+CGDCONT? command to
query or assign the APN settings. Ensure that it is correct by confirming
the APN with your network service provider.

Safety
It is very important to follow any regulations regarding the use of
radio equipment especially due to the possibility of Radio Frequency (RF)
interference. Please follow the safety advice given below carefully:
Turn off your Modem when in an aircraft. The use of cellular
telephones in an aircraft may endanger the operation of the aircraft,
disrupt the cellular network and is illegal. Failure to observe this
instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular telephone services
to the offender, legal action or both.
Turn off your Modem when at a refueling point.
Turn off your Modem in hospitals and at any other place where medical
equipment may be in use.
Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
There may be hazards associated with the operation of your Modem close to
inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids and
pacemakers. Consult the manufacturers of the medical device to determine if
it is adequately protected.
Operation of your Modem close to other electronic equipment may also
cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any
warning signs and manufacturers recommendations.

CAUTION
Do not expose the Modem to any extreme environment where the temperature or
humidity is high.
Do not attempt to disassemble the Modem. There are no user serviceable
parts inside.
Do not expose the Modem to water, rain or split beverages. It is not
waterproof.
Do not abuse your Modem by dropping, knocking, or violent shaking. Rough
handling can damage it.
