    Example driver files include "Quectel_LTE_Windows_USB_Driver_V1.0.zip" and "Quectel_WCDMA<E_Linux_USB_R01A01.zip".

  2. د شبکې پیوستون

    Once drivers are installed and the SIM card is active, the module should attempt to connect to the cellular network. You can monitor the connection status through the module's status indicator or via AT commands through the serial interface.

  3. د GNSS فعالیت

    If using the GPS+BD+Glonass antenna, the module can acquire location data. This functionality is optional and depends on your application's requirements and software configuration.

  4. کاریال ادغام

    The BG96 module is designed for M2M and IoT applications such as wireless POS systems, smart metering, asset tracking, and smart wearables. Developers can integrate the module using its various interfaces and supported Internet protocols.

6. ساتنه

  • وسیله وچه وساتئ او د لندبل څخه لرې وساتئ.
  • د تودوخې یا مستقیم لمر وړانګو ته د ماډل د افشا کولو څخه ډډه وکړئ.
  • وسیله د نرم او وچ ټوکر سره پاکه کړئ. سخت کیمیاوي مواد یا محلول مه کاروئ.
  • Ensure antennas are securely connected but do not overtighten.

7. ستونزه حل کول

  • د شبکې اړیکه نشته:
    • Verify that the SIM card is correctly inserted and active.
    • Ensure the 4G antenna is properly connected.
    • په خپله سیمه کې د شبکې پوښښ وګورئ.
    • Confirm that the correct drivers are installed on your host device.
  • هغه وسیله چې د کمپیوټر لخوا نه پیژندل کیږي:
    • یو بل USB پورټ هڅه وکړئ.
    • Reinstall the USB drivers.
    • Ensure the USB cable (if any external cable is used) is functional.
  • Poor GNSS Performance:
    • ډاډ ترلاسه کړئ چې د GPS انتن په سمه توګه وصل دی او روښانه دی view د آسمان
