2. Module power on/off
2.1. Power on
The following is a process to turn on GSM module, taking M10 module and its EVB board as an
example).
1) Install module on EVB board.
2) Connect antenna.
l
3) Insert SIM card.
e
4) Connect power adapter and serial cable.
t l
5) Switch on power supply (5V-SW), and press down PWRKEY button on EVB board for more
than 2 seconds, the module will power on.
c a
6) Please confirm the power indicator LED D304 will light, and the network indicator LED
i
D303 will blink periodically.
u e n t
Warning:
S201 (D/L) on EVB board is the switch for download software, S203 (VCHG) is the switch
Q fide
for charging. (They should always be set to OFF state when module is in working status).
2.2. Power off module with AT command
n
Table 2: Related AT commands
o
AT command description
AT+QPOWD Power off the module
2.2.1.
C
Normal powering off
AT+QPOWD=1
NORMAL POWER DOWN
2.2.2. Urgent powering off

// 1 indicates powering off normally
// Module is powered off normally
AT+QPOWD=0 // 0 indicates powering off urgently

OK // Module is powered off urgently
Warnning: Powering off urgently is the same as cutting off power supply. Generally, it is not
suggested to use AT+QPOWD=0 to power off urgently.
3. UART communication and module initialization
3.1. UART communication
For all GSM module firmware of Quectel, the default baud rate setting is autobauding enabled.
Following is the notes for autobauding.

1) It is necessary for UART communication to make sure that TE is in sync with TA’s
l
autobauding. Keep inputting AT<CR><LF> or at<CR><LF> through UART, until the
e
response OK is returned, it indicates synchronization is successful.
t l
2) If baud rate is set as autobauding, URCs in boot process will not be reported.
c i a
3) It is strongly recommended to set baud rate as customer’s common fixed baud rate. The
e t
following is an example of setting fixed baud rate to 115200:
u n
AT+IPR=115200 // Set fixed baud rate to 115200
OK
Q fide
AT&W // Save the setting
OK
n
When fixed baud rate is set, URCs in boot process will be reported as following:
RDY
o
+CFUN: 1
C
+CPIN: READY // Unsolicited result information
Call Ready // Initialization is finished, and "Call Ready" is reported
3.2. Recommended module’s initialization process
1) UART communication (e.g. Hyper Terminal).

Open Hyper Terminal -> New Hyper Terminal -> Choose Connect Port -> Configure baud
rate setting for UART communication (should be consistent with module’s baud rate setting),
and the hardware flow control (hardware flow control is set as default in module).
2) After module is powered on, input AT<CR><LF> or at<CR><LF> through UART, until
OK is returned. Make sure the UART communication is fine.
3) It is recommended to make sure that the SIM card has been registered to network before
doing other operations. The following is the detailed steps.
AT+CSQ // Query the RF signal strength

+CSQ: 30,0 // RF signal strength indication 30, channel bit error rate 0
OK
AT+CREG? // Query register state of GSM network
l
+CREG: 0,1 // <stat>=1 means GSM network is registered
t e
OK
AT+CGREG?
e c i a l // Query register state of GPRS network
t
+CGREG: 0, 1 // <stat>=1 means GPRS network is registered
u n
OK
Q fide
AT+COPS? // Query the currently selected operator
+COPS: 0,0,"CHINA MOBILE"
n
OK
