Working with Windows
Install Driver
- Connect EM06-E LTE Cat-6 HAT to the computer with a dual-plug USB 3.0 cable, and there will be a series of devices that do not install drivers in Other Devices.
- Download the driver to the computer and then unzip it.
- Enter RM500U_Driver directory.
- Click "setup.exe" to install the driver, and then the devices generate in Device Manager after installing.
MBIM Dial-up Network
Open the AT port of the EM06-E and send the following command to dial up the Internet:
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 AT+CFUN=1,1
After dialing and rebooting, the corresponding network card appears in the network connection interface, and the dial-up is successful.
Working with Raspberry Pi
RNDIS Dail-up Network
- Connect the USB port of EM06-E LTE Cat-6 HAT to the USB port of Raspberry Pi, and then execute the command to see if the device and ttyUSB2 can be recognized properly.
- Enable minicom:
sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
- Send the following command RNDIS dialing in minicom:
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 AT+CFUN=1,1
- After rebooting the module, the NET indicator is on, check the network status with the following command (optional):
AT+QENG="servingcell"
- Using the following commands to get IP and set DNS:
sudo dhclient -v usb0 sudo apt-get install udhcpc sudo udhcpc -i usb0 sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 usb0
- After dialing, in the Raspberry Pi, you can see usb0 gets ip with the following commands:
ifconfig
- Test usb0 and the network status:
ping -I usb0 www.baidu.com
GNSS Example
Get Positioning Information with AT Commands
- Install minicom and then enable ttyUSB2 port:
sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
- Send the following commands via minicom, enable the GNSS, and get the positioning information:
AT+QGPS=1 AT+QGPSGNMEA="GGA"
- Enable the ttyUSB1 port (NMEA port) and can receive the data from the satellite:
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1
- Disable GNSS.
AT+QGPSEND
Demo Gets the Positioning Infomation
- Run the following commands in the Raspberry Pi terminal:
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/9/98/EM06E_GNSS_GAODE.zip sudo apt-get install python3-pip sudo pip3 install pyserial sudo apt-get install unzip unzip EM06E_GNSS_GAODE.zip sudo chmod 777 EM06E_GNSS_GAODE sudo python3 EM06E_GNSS_GAODE

FAQ
As RM500U-CN and RM500Q-GL modules support simultaneous access to two SIM cards, dual-card single standby, can be switched to enable one of the SIM cards to work through the AT command:
*SIM card 1 is used by default, you can use the following commands to check: AT+QUIMSLOT? *Switch to SIM card 2 using the following commands: AT+QUIMSLOT=2 *Switch to SIM card using the following commands: AT+QUIMSLOT=1 *Query whether the corresponding card slot identifies the SIM card: AT+CPIN?
If the corresponding SIM card is still not recognized, consider that the dip switches do not enable the corresponding module, please see C corresponding dip switches are turned ON:

Please use the following commands to configure the dial-up mode to a stable routing mode:
AT+QCFG="nat",1

Question:What should I do if the NET light does not light up and I am not registered to the network?
- Please check whether the SIM card and the antenna are connected, and note that four antennas must be connected.
- Please check the hardware connection and use AT Log to check the network connection.

It requires a module with the M.2 B KEY B interface and USB function, modules without USB function (PCIE only) are not supported, the following modules have been verified:
FM650-CN SIM8202G-M2 SIM8262E-M2 SIM8262A-M2 (AA version)RM500U-CNV RM500Q-GL/RM502Q-AE RM520N-GL RM530N-GL
The M.2B KEY connector with USB function can be used if it matches the wiring sequence shown in the figure below:
5G modules must be purchased separately; if used for other modules, pin compatibility must be confirmed and subject to actual measurement.

RM500U-CN: based on Zhanrui
RM500Q-GL: based on the Qualcomm platform, supports GNSS positioning, mainly for China
RM500q-AE/RM502Q-AE: based on the Qualcomm platform, supports GNSS positioning, mainly for countries except for China.
