1. Ha rdware configur ation

1. 1. Hard ware co n figurat i on

This module comes with GSM antenna, LTE antenna and micro USB cable. Besides these you should

prepare a 4G sim card and a microphone cable with microphone:

1) Insert the SIM card to the card slot, Insert the headphone cable and connect the LTE antenna.

2) Connect the USB interface of SIM7600E-H 4G HAT to PC with a micro USB cable. Then the PWR

indicator will keep bright.

3) Press the PWRKEY button and hold for 1s, the NET indicator will blink as below. Generally, the

NET indicator will fast flash firstly (1 time per second), which means that the module has not

logged in the Network. After logging in, the indicator become to flash slowly (1 time every three

seconds). Up to the local LTE network, this process that logging in will last several seconds to

dozens of seconds.

If you take too much time to log in and failed, please check that whether the LTE antenna is

connected correctly, and whether the SIM card is usable and insert correctly.

4) Install SIM7600 driver (windows driver: www.waveshare.com/wiki/File:SIM7X00-Driver.7z)

Open Device Manager to get the corresponding COM port number of SIM7600. For example, the

AT Port is COM19 as below. Users need to choose the correct port according to the Manager.

NOTE:

The default hardware of SIM7600CE 4G HAT needs to be turned on by button. If the hardware needs

to be turned on automatically, you can use a connection line to connect the PWR and GND pins on

the module pin, so that it can automatically turn on, as shown in the figure below.

3. 2. UART config uration of Raspber r y Pi

Because UART of Raspberry Pi is used for Linux console output by default, if we want to use the UART,

we need to change the settings. Executing this command to enter the configuration page ：

sudo raspi-config

Choose Advanced Options -> Serial -> no , to disable Linux’s use of console UART

Open /boot/config.txt file, find the below statement and uncomment it to enable the UART. You can

directly append it at the end of file as well.

enable_uart=1

Then reboot.

3. 3. Init the Raspb erry Pi

1、Download the raspberry pi demo code to /home/pi/ directory.

wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/2/29/SIM7600X-4G-HAT-Demo.7z

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

7z x SIM7600X-4G-HAT-Demo.7z -r -o/home/pi

sudo chmod 777 -R /home/pi/SIM7600X-4G-HAT-Demo

2、 Open the /etc/rc.local file, then add the context below:
