Short-Range Module Series Operating Procedures This chapter outlines how to use the HCM511S-TE-B for testing and evaluating the module. 5.1. Power Up Connect J0101 (USB interface) of HCM511S-TE-B to the PC with the USB Type-C cable. Switch S0102 (Power Switch) to ON state, then D0104 (VBAT ON/OFF indicator) will light up. 5.2.
Short-Range Module Series 3. Use the QCOM tool provided by Quectel to establish communication between the module and the PC via J0101 (USB interface). The following figure shows the field for setting the COM port on QCOM. Select the “COM port” (USB serial port) and set the correct “Baudrate”. For more details about QCOM tool usage and configuration, see document [2].
