6.1 Running
(1) Connect the SIM345 module to the 60 pins connector on SIM345 EVB, inserting 5V direct
current source adapter, switching the S103 switch on off state, S202 switch on ON state;
(2) Press the ON/OFF for about 2 second, and then SIM345 module begins running.
You can see the light on the EVB flashing at a certain frequency. By the state, you can judge
whether the EVB and SIM345 can run or not. No function and test can be executed when we have
not connected necessary accessories.
6.2 Connecting Net and calling
(1) Connect the serial port line to the MAIN serial port, open the HyperTerminal (AT command
windows) on your Personal computer, the location of the HyperTerminal in windows2000 is
START→accessory→communication→HyperTerminal. Set correct Baud Rate and COM number.
The Baud Rate of SIM345 is 115200, and the COM number based on which USB port your serial
port line insert in, you should select such as COM3 or COM4 etc.
(2) Connect the antenna to the SIM345 module using an antenna transmit line, insert SIM card
into the SIM card interface, and insert headphones or headset into its interface.
(3) Act on the step of running which mentioned above, power on the system, typing the AT
command in the HyperTerminal, and then the SIM345 module will execute its corresponding
function.
6.3 Downloading
Connect the serial port line to the MAIN serial port, connect the direct current source adapter, run
the download program and press the START key, then switch the POWER switch on ON state,
DOWNLOAD switch on ON state, and then EVB provide the function of downloading.
6.4 Turns off
Turn off SIM345 module: press the ON/OFF for about 2 second, SIM345 module will be turned
off.
