Network Connection

Typically, when connected to a Windows operating system, once both the hardware and software drivers are properly installed, the device will connect to the network automatically. If the device does not connect automatically, please try one of the following two methods to connect manually.

NDIS Dial-up Connection

The Windows NDIS dial-up procedure is as follows:

Open the SIM7600 AT port and send commands (when using SSCOM to send AT commands, make sure to check the "Append CR+LF" option).

NDIS Dial-up

At this point, the NDIS dialing takes effect, and the computer can connect to the network; if the dialing command returns an error, send the following command to set the NDIS dialing mode and then dial again:

command: AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9001,1,1

PPP Dial-up Connection

The PPP dial-up procedure is as follows:
Network and Internet Settings -> Set up a new connection -> Connect to the Internet -> Dial up (D) -> Dial a phone number (D): *99# (others are empty by default) -> Connection -> Register -> Connected to the Internet
