8. How to test operation of Board ET-BASE GSM SIM900
As mentioned above, it sends the Command Code in the format of
AT Command to Module SIM900 through Serial Port. Normally, customer
needs to write program to send Command Code into the Module by self,
it depends on type of controller device that is used to control the
operation of module; in this case, it may be computer PC or
Microcontroller in any series that has RS232 Serial Port in order to
connect and command Module SIM900. Moreover, it depends on ability
or basic skill of user to choose any way and language to write
program because it needs user with know-how to write program to
command the device in order to transmit/receive data through RS232
Serial Port, this manual does not describe any detail of them.
Initially, it is unnecessary to write program, but user can use
ready-made program such as Program Serial Terminal of computer to
test the operation; moreover, user can learn and understand the
command format and operating result well. For example, if commanding
the Module SIM900 to make a call to the telephone number 0811234567,
user has to learn and understand the command format first; when user
knows and understands how to use the Command “ATD0811234567;” to
make a call, user can write the program to command the Module by
self later. Next, user needs to exactly know how to write program to
command the device to send Code “ATD0811234567;” through Serial
Port; in this case, it suggest Program HyperTerminal from Windows to
be a tool to initially test, this Program HyperTerminal is ready-
made program that is provided with Windows Operating System.
This
program has several interesting parts because there are various
capabilities to do; in this case, it only uses the part of function
