4.2 Audio Interface
4.2.1 Audio Overview
SIM700D-EVB provides two analog input channels, Microphone 1 input and Microphone 2
input, that may be used for both microphone and line input. The Microphone 1 input channel is
differential, but Microphone 2 input channel is single-ended. Usually one of the two channels is
typically used with a microphone built into a handset. The other channel is typically used with a
microphone built into a earphone or external line input. The SIM700D-EVB analog input
configuration is determined by AT COMMAND. The connection can be either differential or
single-ended, but using a differential connection in order to reject common mode noise and
TDMA noise is recommended.

Figure 9: Audio interface
4.2.2 Audio interface1
Both Microphone1 inputs and Audio 1 outputs are differential signals:

4.3 SIM card interface
The SIM700D-EVB contains a dedicated smart card interface, conforming to the ISO/IEC7816-3
(Identification Card) standard but only supporting the subset required for GSM phase 2+
operation. This interface is fully compliant with GSM 11.11 recommendations concerning the
SIM functionality.
The SIM interface is available through the 80 pins connector connected to a stand-alone SIM
card holder.

Figure 13: SIM card holder
Notes: This interface is compatible 3V and 1.8V on the SIM700D-EVB, it can be recognize
automatically by software. 5V SIM card can be driven with production unit using an external
level shifter.
The SIM Interface module functions as an asynchronous serial communications port. It is half
duplex and therefore allows sharing of hardware between receive and transmit modes. The
interface is symmetric, with the same timing for transmit and receive.

4.4 RF Interface
The SIM700D-DTE has been equiped with an Antenna PAD and a ultra-miniature SMT GSC
type RF connector(the vendor Part Number:MM9329-2700B) so that the customers can complete
the antenna installation easily and alternatively.
Install antenna via the SIM700D Antenna PAD.
---The customer can connect its antenna via a microwave coaxial cable which one terminal
SIM700D-EVB_UGD _V1.02 20 20.08.2008
SIM700D-EVB User Guide
is SMA type and the other is opened. The SMA type terminal is connected with customers
antenna, and the opened terminal is soldered on the modules antenna PAD(the woven outer
conductor is soldered on the GND PAD which near the Antenna PAD, and the inner
conductor is soldered on the Antenna PAD).
---If the customers antenna equiped with a spring contactor, the antenna can be attached on
the Antenna PAD via a spring contactor directly.
Install antenna via the ultra-miniature RF connector.
The customer can connect its antenna via a MXTK series microwave coaxial cable which
vended by Murata. The SMA type terminal of the coaxial cable is connected with customers
antenna, and the other terminal can be connected with the modules ultra-miniature RF
connector directly.
4.5 RS232 Interface
RS232 interface is available complying with 2.93 Volts interface. The signals are Tx data (TXD),
Rx data (RXD), Request To Send (RTS), Clear To Send (CTS), Data Terminal Ready (DTR). The
set of RS232 signals can be required for GSM DATA services application. Two additional signals
are Data Carrier Detect (DCD) and Ring Indicator (RI).
Communication between your application and the SIM700D is allowed connecting the DTE to
the Asynchronous Serial Interfaces of Base-Band Chip, X101 and X102, through the standard
RS232 communications port (double 9way D-socket connector at slow data rates of RS232
protocol)

Figure 14: RS232 interface
X102 can be used as a control interface ,data communication or firmware upgrade.
X101 is a debug 3-wires uart interface, it has to be used as debug function only.

6.1 Turning on
(1) Connect the SIM700D-DTE soldered with SIM700D module to the 80 pins connector on
SIM700D-EVB, inserting 5V AC adapter. The switch setting is show in the following table.
Table 12 : Switch setting
Switch Status
S402 ON
S201 OFF

(2) Press the PWRKEY button for about 1.5 seconds, then SIM700D module begins running.
You can use the AT COMMAND to communicate with SIM700D module.
You can see HL201 on the EVB flashing at a certain frequency. By the state, you can judge the
working status of SIM700D. No function and test can be executed when we have not connected
necessary accessories.
6.2 Connecting Net and calling
(1) Install the USB driver on your PC.
(2) Connect the USB cable to the SIM700D-EVB USB interface J1.
(3) Open the HyperTerminal (AT command windows) on your Personal computer, the location of
the HyperTerminal in windows is STARTaccessorycommunicationHyperTerminal. Set
correct Baud Rate and COM number. The Baud Rate of SIM700D is 460800bps.
(4) Connect the antenna to the SIM700D-DTE using an antenna transmit line, insert SIM card
into the SIM card interface, insert headphones or headset into the audio interface.
(5) Act on the steps of turning on which is mentioned in chapter 6.1.
6.3 Turning off
Turn off SIM700D module: press the PWRKEY for about 1.5 seconds, SIM700D module will be
turned off.

Where there is risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc
It is responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific environment
regulation.
Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty validity.
We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for a correct wiring of the
product. The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage source and the wiring has to be
conforming to the security and fire prevention regulations.
The product has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins because electrostatic
discharges may damage the product itself. Same cautions have to be taken for the SIM, checking
carefully the instruction for its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM when the product is in
power saving mode.
The system integrator is responsible of the functioning of the final product; therefore, care has to
be taken to the external components of the module, as well as of any project or installation issue,
because the risk of disturbing the GSM network or external devices or having impact on the
security. Should there be any doubt, please refer to the technical documentation and the
regulations in force.
Every module has to be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The
antenna has to be installed with care in order to avoid any interference with other electronic
devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from the people (20 cm). In case of this
requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final product against the
SAR regulation.
