4. Kurulum Talimatları
SIM Kart Kurulumu
Locate the Nano SIM card slot on the BG96 module. Gently insert your Nano SIM card into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the SIM card is oriented correctly as shown in the diagram below.

Figure 4: Nano SIM slot location and serial port pinout. Anten Bağlantısı
The BG96 module supports two types of antenna interfaces: IPEX 1st generation and TS-9. The provided antennas typically use TS-9 connectors. Connect the 4G antenna to the main antenna interface and the GPS antenna to the GPS antenna interface. Note that TS-9 and IPEX interfaces cannot be used simultaneously for the same function.

Plug the BG96 USB Dongle into an available USB port on your computer or host device. The device will typically be recognized automatically, but drivers may be required for full functionality.
Serial Port Connection (Optional)
For advanced development or debugging, the module features a 1.25 pitch 5Pin serial port. Refer to Figure 4 for the pinout: 5V, GND, RX, TX, RESET.
5. Kullanım Talimatları
Sürücü Kurulumu
For Windows (7/8/8.1/10), Linux, and Android operating systems, specific USB drivers are available. These drivers are crucial for the host device to properly communicate with the BG96 module. Please refer to the official Quectel documentation for the latest drivers and installation guides. A list of documentation is often provided by the seller, for examptarih:
