User can see the light on the EVB flashing at a certain frequency about 1.25Hz. By the state,
user can judge whether the EVB and SIM5360 is running or not. No function and test can be
executed if user has not connected necessary accessories.
NOTE: This EVB board supports USB power supply when user connects USB_VBAT and
VBAT together.
6.2 Installing Driver
There are 3 ways to connect the module to user’s computer and communicate via HyperTerminal:
(1) Using USB-TO-USB cable;
(2) Using UART-TO-USB cable;
(3) Using UART-TO-UART cable.
In the first case, user need install the module USB driver, which can be got from our FAE or sales;
For the UART to USB driver, user may get it from the CD in the EVB kit; If user use UART to
UART cable, there are certain points to be noticed. One can use UART to UART cable in EVB kit,
if the customers want to use their own UART to UART cable, please make sure that the pin
sequences of it is same as those of cable in EVB kit, pin sequences of which are shown in Figure
9.
6.3 Connecting Net and calling
Once user installs the driver, user can follow steps below to connect to Network.
(1) When user use a UART-UART cable, user need to connect the serial port line to the serial port,
open the HyperTerminal (AT command windows) on user’s Personal computer. The location of
the HyperTerminal in windows2000/XP/Vista can be found from START→accessory→
communication→HyperTerminal. Please set the correct Baud Rate and COM port number, the
Baud Rate of SIM5360 is 115200, and the COM port number is based on which UART port user’s
serial port line is inserted, user should select the port such as COM1 or COM2 etc.
(2) Connect the antenna to the SIM5360 module using an antenna transmit line, insert SIM card
into the SIM card holder, and insert handset into its sockets.
(3) Follow the steps of running which has been mentioned above in Sector 5.1, power on the
system, type the AT command from the HyperTerminal, and then the SIM5360 module will
execute its corresponding function. For example, if user type “AT”, then it should respond “OK”;
if user type “ATI”, it should display product identification information.
(4) If user want to use USB to USB cable, user need to connect the cable to USB port of the
module and the computer, then follow step 1~3.
