This manual is a quick introduction to the modem E840-DTU (4G-02). It is the easiest hardware environment to test the E840-DTU (4G-02) network transmission function, that is, to realize data being transmitted in both directions between the serial device (here, the computer) and the network server.
(optional) Connect the power supply, antenna, SIM card, serial cable and other hardware before testing. 1. Access the official website of EBYTE: www.ebyte.com, to download the latest GPRS/E840-DTU series product configuration tool, install USB to 232/485 driver, run the software! 2.

2.3 High speed mode The E840-DTU (4G-02) is designed with a separate high-speed mode. In this mode, both the network and the device can transmit any packet length data, such as file, picture, and video. Configure/query the high-speed mode state through the AT+HSPEED command. After the high-speed mode is enabled, the device can transmit any packet length data at 230400 serial port baud rate and below.
E840-DTU(4G-02)User Manual 6. Click on the server to run RF.exe to test the file, as shown below: In summary, the E840-DTU (4G-02) completes the remote transfer of files from the serial port to the network server. 2.4 SMS function E840-DTU (4G-02) can support SMS sending and receiving, SMS remote configuration function (inserted SIM card needs to support SMS service).

6 Base station positioning function; The E840-DTU (4G-02) supports the base station positioning function. The user can send the AT+LBS command in the AT mode to read the current LBS information of the device. The device returns the data format as follows: +OK=LAC,xxxx;CID,xxxx, where LAC is the unique identification number of the global cell, CID is the base station number,...
7 Serial port packaging function; The E840-DTU (4G-02) serial port break time and packing length can be configured. The user can configure the frame break time and the package length through the AT+UARTTS command. Please refers to the AT command for the specific configuration .

⚫ After the EBYTE cloud transparent transmission function is enabled, the high-speed mode is invalid. ⚫ When the device serial port outputs the words “pdp error, device will be reset!”, it indicates that the PDP context is disabled by the network.
Send a valid AT command within the period of more than 2000ms and less than 3000ms to enter the AT mode normally. 5 Important Statement ⚫ All rights to interpret and modify this manual belong to Ebyte. ⚫ This manual will be updated based on the upgrade of firmware and hardware, please refer to the latest version.
