Windows Instruction
Install Driver
- After connecting the EM06-E LTE Cat-6 HAT to the computer through a double-ended usb3.0 data cable, there are a series of devices without drivers installed on other devices.
- Download the driver RM500U Windows MBIM v1.2to your computer and unzip the compressed package.
- Enter the RM500U_Driver directory.
- Click setup.exe to install the driver. After the installation is complete, the device manager will generate the following devices:
MBIM Dial-up
- Open the AT port of EM06-E and send the following commands to dial up the Internet:
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",2 AT+CFUN=1,1
- After dialing and restarting, the corresponding network card appears on the network connection interface, and the dialing is successful.
User Guides of Raspberry Pi
RNDIS Dail-up
- 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 normally.
- Open minicom.
sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
- Send the following command RNDIS dial in minicom.
AT+QENG="servingcell" AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 AT+CFUN=1,1
- After the module restarts, the NET light is on, use the following command to check the network status (optional).
AT+QENG="servingcell"
- Get the IP and set the DNS with the following commands:
sudo dhclient -v usb0 sudo apt-get install udhcpc sudo udhcpc -i usb0 sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 usb0
- After dialing, you can see that usb0 has obtained the IP by using the following command:
Ifconfig
- Test usb0 networking status:
ping -I usb0 www.baidu.com
GNSS Example

FAQ
5G consumes a lot of power, and the host's USB interface might not provide enough power. Please use a USB double-plug cable to supply sufficient power to the module, as shown in the diagram.
{{{5}}}
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:

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.

- To update the ASR module, you can install this driver.
- To update Qualcommm module, you need to install the driver.
- Make sure the module has been booted normally -> Open Device Manager -> Other Devices -> "the corresponding folder where the driver was unzipped" -> Update Driver -> Browse My Computer to Find the driver file -> Depending on the system, select the path where the driver file is stored -> Installation is complete.

Yes, it supports the Jetson Nano series, and its hardware is designed for Jetson Nano. If you want to use it with other Jetson Nano, the adapter should be connected to dual male port. If connect it to Jetson Orin Nano, please use this verified system Jetpack 6.0(Ubuntu 22.04) and note that some system drivers may not support.

- USB TO M.2 B KEY does not include a module by default, you need to add a module before using.
- For example, after adding SIM8262E-M2 module, it can support Linxu and Windows system devices, if your router is OPenwrt and other Linux systems, it can be supported.
- Openwrt router configuration steps reference.
