As shown in the following figure: 3) Figure 6：Antenna transit cable connection view Tighten the antenna SMA connector and the RF transit cable SMA connector. 3.1.4.
2) 3) The USB data cable B terminal is accessed to the J0701 interface on the lower left corner of the EVB board, as shown in the following figure: Figure 7：USB port connection view Insert the USB data cable A terminal into the USB interface of the PC. 3.1.5.
3) Figure 8：UART port connection view Insert the USB data cable A terminal into the USB interface of the PC. 3.1.6. How to power on A9500 only supports the boot up via pressing the power button Cnnect the VBAT and press the power button to start the module.
Figure 9：Power button position view 3.1.7. How to power off A9500supports power off and AT command shutdown: When the VBAT is powered down, the module shuts down; Send AT$QCPWRDN, the module shuts down. 3.2 Software environment setup 3.2.1.
2) Figure 10：Find new hardware Right click on the USB modem device and select to update the drivers: Figure 11：Update the drivers A9500 user manual Page 19 of 37
3) Select “Browse the computer to find the driver software”: 4) Figure 12：Install the drivers manually Click on “browse”, select the A9500 driver and press “ok”: Figure 13：Select the driver path A9500 user manual Page 20 of 37
5) Click on “next”: 6) Driver is installing: Figure 14：Select the drivers Figure 15：Driver is installing A9500 user manual Page 21 of 37
7) 8) When prompt“windows already update the device drivers successfully”, press “finished” to end the driver installation. Figure 16：Driver install successfully Repeat above 1-7 steps to update the other A9500 uninstalled USB modem drivers. A9500 corresponding ports will appear in the device manager after the driver updated successfully.
Figure 17：A9500 ports display in the device manager 3.2.2. How to update the firmware A9500 provides the one key upgrade tool on windows. The firmware upgrade steps are as follows: 1) Connect the USB, UART ports with USB cable: 2) Figure 18：One key upgrade connection method Power on and wait the ports appear in the device manager.
3) 4) Figure 19：A9500 module display in the device manager Double click on the A9500 firmware file, that is an executable file with the suffix as .exe; Figure 20：An example of firmware file When it displays “Ready” in the popup window, click on “start” button to start the firmware upgrading: Figure 21：Firmware upgrading start window\ A9500 user manual Page 24 of 37
5) 6) Module start the firmware upgrading; Figure 22：Firmware is upgrading During upgrading, it cannot disconnect the power supply and the USB cable. Close the upgrade window when the upgrade window shows “Complete”. It takes about 2-3 minutes for the whole process. Notice: During the upgrading, it cannot disconnect the USB cable and the power supply(need ensure the power supply stability), otherwise it will cause damage to module.
4. Test and Debug The EVB board can be used for TCP/IP transport and internet connection; in addition to the USB communication, A9500 also supports UART mode communication. This chapter will describe these related functions. 4.1.
3) Switch to the modem page and check the LongSung USB Modem[AT] port is COM11; 4) Figure 25：Check the port number Open the serial port tool (ex: Windows hyper terminal); Figure 26：New a hyper terminal A9500 user manual Page 27 of 37
5) 6) Select the COM port that is corresponding to the LongSung USB Modem[AT] port, example is COM11; Figure 27：Select the port number Select the baud rate as “115200” and data flow control as “none”, other options use the default values; Figure 28：Configure the hyper terminal A9500 user manual Page 28 of 37
7) The communication mode of PC and A9500 is AT command; you can send AT command to test if the communication is successful between the PC and A9500. Figure 29：Use hyper terminal to send AT commands 4.2. How to do the data connection 1) Insert a SIM/USIM card that supports data into the EVB board.
3) Control panel \ network and internet \ network and shared center, select to new a network connection; 4) Figure 30：Configure a new network connection Click on “LongSung USB Modem[AT]” modem; Figure 31：Select modem A9500 user manual Page 30 of 37
5) Input *99***1# in the dial number, click on “connect”; 6) Figure 32：Input the dial number Trying on the Internet connection; A9500 user manual Page 31 of 37
Figure 33：Network connecting 7) Connected to the internet successfully; Figure 34：Network connection successfully 4.3. How to connect the external power supply In addition to the power supply with USB cable, EVB can also connect to an external power supply.
Figure 35：External power supply connection view 4.4. How to use UART communication In addition to the USB communication, A9500 also supports the UART communication.
2) Figure 36：UART jumper cap configure Connect the USB cable to the J0702 interface of the EVB board; Figure 37：UART data cable connection view 3) Check the UART port is COM1; Figure 38：Check the UART port A9500 user manual Page 34 of 37
4) Open the serial port tool; Figure 39：New a hyper termial 5) Select the port, example is COM1; 6) Figure 40：Configure the hyper terminal - 1 Select the baud rate as “115200” and data flow control as “none”, other options use the default values; A9500 user manual Page 35 of 37
