2.Quick start
2.1 Hardware
Hardware for test are as follows：
Connect the power supply, antenna, SIM card, serial cable and other hardware before testing.
1. Enter the AT command mode and send +++ in the serial port assistant (except that +++ does not need to tick to send
a new line, other AT commands need to check to send a new line to be valid), you must send +++ command 3s Send
any other AT command (except for restarting the AT command) to fully enter the AT command mode.
2. After entering the AT command mode, use AT+CPIN to check the SIM card access:
For example: AT+CPIN
+OK=1
Indicates that the SIM card is connected and uses AT+CSQ to view the current signal strength:
For example: AT+CSQ
+OK=26
Indicates that the current signal strength is normal. If the response is 99, the current signal strength is abnormal. Check
whether the current antenna is connected or the surrounding base station is abnormal.
3. Access server, AT + SOCK = TCPC, 116.62.42.192, 31687 (parameters are separated by English characters comma,
separated by English characters between IP instructions), if it is SOCK1, SOCK2, SOCK3, need to be The front-end plus
enable command (see the AT command description section for details).
SOCK settings
For example: AT+SOCK=TCPC, 116.62.42.192, 31687
+OK
SOCK1, SOCK2, SOCK3 settings
For example: AT+SOCK1=0, TCPC, 116.62.42.192, 31687

+OK
Indicates that the setting was successful.
4. Restart (after all AT commands modify parameters, the device will take effect after restarting)
Execution command AT+REBT returns OK and the device restarts immediately. Here IP only shows the
demonstration. The actual connection is based on the IP of the server to be connected.
5. After the base station is connected, the NET light is always on to indicate that the server is connected, and transparent
transmission is possible at this time.
2.2 Data transmission test

 Software tools used for the test are as follows：

Any serial port assistant, XCOM is used in this manual, which can be downloaded from our official website.
2.2.1 Operating mode is as follows：
1、operating mode includes: transparent transmission mode, AT configuration mode
a) Transparent transmission mode: After power-on, the radio works in the transparent transmission mode by
default, and automatically starts the network connection. When the connection is established with the server, any
data received by the serial port will be transparently transmitted to the server. At the same time, it can also receive
data from the server. After receiving the server data, the module will output directly through the serial port. The
maximum length of data supported by this module is 1024 bytes. When multiple links are connected to the server
at the same time, the data packet will be sent to the four links at the same time. When there are data to be sent from
any network link, the radio will transparently output the data.
b) Protocol transmission: This module supports 4-channel Socket connections. For each socket users can
configured it as TCP Client or UDP Client. When sending data, users can use protocol transmission or transparent
transmission.
Protocol transmission format
Transmit：0x55 0xFE 0xAA ID data
For example：55 FE AA 02 AA BB //02： SOCK2 link，AA BB：the data that the user actually
needs to transmit
Receive：0xAA 0XFE 0x55 ID data length Data
For example： AA FE 55 02 03 11 22 33 //02: SOCK2 link， 03：the valid data length received this
time 11 22 33：real data
Demonstration：
Take SOCK2 as an example：，
Transmit：+++(do not add new line for transmitting ) //enter AT command
Transmit：AT+VER(add new line for transmitting ) //read version info. And enter AT command setting
at the same time
+OK=E840-DTU(4G-02E)_V1.0
Transmit：AT+SOCK2=1,TCPC,116.62.42.192,31687 //open SOCK2 and configure the network

server parameters that SOCK2 will connect to
(the parameter used here is Ebyte test server,
not recommended for users)
+OK
Transmit：AT+LINKSTA2 //read if SOCK2 has started connection with server
+OK=Connect
Transmit：AT+POTOCOL=ON // open protocol transmission mode
+OK
Transmit：AT+POTOCOL //inquire if protocol transmission is on
+OK=ON
AT+REBT //restart

+OK
Waiting for the radio to restart, SOCK2 will automatically establish a connection with the server. After the
connection is started, data can be transmitted to each other via protocol.
c) AT mode：under this mode all UART data is considered as AT command.
d)Mode switch，In the transparent transmission mode, after the serial port receives the "+++" frame data, the RX
pin receives any AT command within 3 seconds, and the mode switches to the AT mode. In AT mode, send
AT+EXAT<CR><LF> to switch to transparent transmission mode.
2、Network function
a) Short connection: In TCP Client mode, the short connection function is enabled. If there is no data reception in the
serial port or network port within the set time, the network connection will be automatically disconnected. The short
connection function is turned off by default. The connection time can be set from 2 to 255 seconds. When set to 0, the
short connection function is disabled.
b) Registration package: The registration package is closed by default. The user can configure 4 types of registration
packages. You can choose to send the physical address (IMEI code) when connecting, send custom data when connecting,
add the physics before the connection and each packet of data. Custom data is added to the address, connection time, and
data before each packet. The maximum length of the custom registration packet is 40 bytes (when set to HEX format, the
maximum length is 20 bytes).
c) Heartbeat packet: In the idle state of network communication, the heartbeat packet is used for network state
maintenance. The heartbeat period can be set from 0 to 65535 seconds, and the maximum length of the heartbeat packet
is 40 bytes (when set to HEX format, the maximum length is 20 bytes). Supports two heartbeat types: network heartbeat
and serial heartbeat. When the network heartbeat is selected, the communication idle time starts, and the heartbeat data

packet is sent to the server according to the configured heartbeat period. Select the serial port heartbeat, start timing
with communication idle, and send heartbeat packets to the serial port according to the configured heartbeat period.
d) Clear the cache: Before the connection to the server is established, the data received by the serial port will be
cached. When the connection with the server is established, you can choose whether to clear the cached data. By default,
the cache is cleared. The maximum size of each Socket in the local cache is 10 bytes, and each Socket buffer is
independent of each other.
3、 High speed mode
The E840-DTU(4G-02E) 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.
The E840-TTL-(4G-02E) file transfer process will be demonstrated below:
1). Turn on the device high-speed mode: After the device enters the AT mode, send AT+HSPEED=ON to enable
the high-speed mode, configure the connected server address, and restart the device.
2). Ready to transfer the file. The file transferred in this demo is RF_Setting3.49.exe. The file is an executable file.
After startup, the following interface is displayed:
3). Open the serial port tool and use the file sending method to open E840_Setting_V2.43.exe. After the device is
connected to the network server normally, click “send file” and the sending is completed as shown below.：

4). The server (the external network mapping used for this demo, the server is the TCP debugging tool), after
receiving the data, it is as follows：
5). Save the data as an .exe trial file type. This time it is named RF.exe, as shown below:：

6)Click on the server to run RF.exe to test the file, as shown below：
In summary, the E840-DTU(4G-02E) completes the remote transfer of files from the serial port to the network server.
4、SMS function
E840-DTU(4G-02E) can support SMS sending and receiving, SMS remote configuration function (inserted SIM
card needs to support SMS service).

a) SMS sending: In AT mode, send AT+SMSSEND=number, data to complete the SMS sending, where number
refers to the receiving number, and data refers to the data to be sent.
The demo is shown below:

b) SMS receiving: The device can receive remote SMS content in transparent transmission mode. The format is as
follows:
+SMS REC: number
Data, where number is the sender's mobile phone number and data is the received short message content;
c) SMS configuration/query: The device can support SMS remote configuration/inquiry parameters in transparent
transmission mode. The format of the transmission format command is:
<Head>AT+CMD, where <Head> is the device SMS identifier. The factory default is: EbyteSMS, CMD is the
corresponding command. Specifically, you can view the introduction of AT commands.
In this demonstration, remotely use the mobile phone to query the SOCK1 link information of the device:

5、Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP are mutually converted;
E840-DTU(4G-02E) supports the mutual conversion between Modbus RTU and ModbusTCP. After the function is
enabled, after receiving the data, the device will detect whether the data meets the Modbus RTU or ModbusTCP
protocol. If it meets the requirement, the conversion function is enabled. Otherwise, it will output/send original
data.
a) For example, the serial port receives the ModbusT RTU write-out command in the following format (hexadecimal):
01 06 00 01 00 01 19 CA (ModbusT RTU), when the conversion function is enabled, the data received by the server
is: 00 00 00 00 00 06 01 06 00 01 00 01 (ModbusT TCP)
b) When the data received by the network is: 00 00 00 00 00 06 01 06 00 01 00 01 (ModbusT TCP), the serial port of the
device will output the data : 01 06 00 01 00 01 19 CA (ModbusT RTU);
Note: In the Modbus TCP standard protocol, the transaction element identifier needs to be specified. In E840-DTU-
(4G-02E), the user can configure the value through AT+MTCPID, and when the value is configured to 0, the
receiving end All data conforming to the Modbus TCP protocol will be parsed, otherwise only packets with the
same application packet identifier and device configuration identifier will be converted.
6、Base station positioning function;
The E840-DTU(4G-02E) 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, (xxxx is the hexadecimal value);
The LAC and CID number can be used to query the current location information of the device. For the query
method, refer to the link: http://www.gpsspg.com/bs.htm
7、Serial port packaging function;
The E840-DTU(4G-02E) 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.
a) Frame break time: When the serial port receives data, it will continuously detect the interval between two bytes.
If it is greater than the configuration time (50-2000ms), the device will automatically send the previously received data as
a data packet to Network side;
b) Packing length: When the serial port receives data, it will continuously check the length of the currently received
data. If the length of the configuration is exceeded (20~1024 bytes), the device will automatically send the previously
received data as a data packet to Network side;
8、Enable Ebyte IoT platform function
The AT+EBTIOT command is used to set whether the module enables the transparent transmission function of the
EBYTE cloud platform, after it is turned on, the information such as the heartbeat and registration packet configured by
the user will be invalid. The user only needs to set the forwarding relationship of the corresponding device to the
platform to implement the device. Data is transparent. For details of the related operations, please refer to the "Ebyte
Cloud Platform Transparent Transmission Guide".
9、Network AT command
E840-DTU(4G-02E) supports the connection to the network, and the module works in transparent transmission mode,
through the connected web page, remote query / configuration parameters,
the command format is:<Head>AT+CMD, where <Head> is the AT identifier of the device network.
The factory default is: EbyteNET, CMD is the corresponding command. Specifically, you can view the introduction of the AT
command.
(*Note: For the wrong network AT command, unified reply + ERRER)This demo uses the query baud rate as an
example:

10、MQTT protocol

4 .Notes
 The first Socket of this module will always be opened. After the initialization is successful, it will automatically
establish a connection with the configured network server.
 After the module is powered on, it cannot be initialized successfully. That is, the State indicator has no indication
for more than 30 seconds. In this case, check whether the module is installed properly, whether the SIM card is
properly inserted, and whether the SIM has failed.
 Short connection function can be used to reduce the connection pressure of multiple devices to the server. When the
short connection function is enabled (AT+SHORTM>2), the module will actively disconnect the connection when
the network or serial port has no data for more than the short connection setting period. After the disconnection, the
network cannot send data and the local serial port sends. For valid data, the module will immediately establish a
connection with the server. If the local clear cache function is turned off, the packet will be cached (maximum 10K
bytes). After the connection is successful, the data will be sent to the server. The local cache function is cleared and
the packet will be discarded.
 The heartbeat function is used to maintain the connection after the module and the server are successfully connected.
In the network, if the client and the network server successfully establish a connection and there is no data
transmission for a long time, the Socket link may appear “dead”, that is, the chain. The road exists but cannot send
and receive data. Therefore, in actual use, it is recommended to enable the heartbeat packet function to ensure the
reliability of the network link.
 In actual use, it is normal for the data delay of the two communications to be different.
 After the protocol is closed, the maximum single packet length supported by a single link is 10K bytes. A local
serial port or a network sending a packet exceeding this length may cause packet abnormality. The distribution
protocol is enabled. Each Socket is enabled. The link single packet can support up to 1024 bytes (user-configured
serial port packing length).
 In the high-speed serial transmission mode, the EMBMAC and EMBCSTM registration package functions cannot
be enabled, and in the high-speed mode, the short message transmission and reception function is not supported.
Only the first Socket effective link is valid, and the protocol distribution data is not supported.
 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. The SIM card may be loose or the current network channel is occupied abnormally.
 The SMS function needs to insert the SIM card to support the SMS service. The IoT card cannot send and receive
SMS messages. When the device sends a text message, the device responds with OK only to indicate that the
module has sent the SMS, which does not mean that the device has received the SMS.
 After modifying the serial port break time, the AT command must be configured according to the frame break time.
For example, after setting the parameter to 2000ms, you need to configure the device parameters after power-on.
You need to send '+++'. , Send a valid AT command within the period of more than 2000ms and less than 3000ms
to enter the AT mode normally
