Program SIM Card with [Open Cells Project](https://open-cells.com/) application [uicc-v2.6](https://open-cells.com/d5138782a8739209ec5760865b1e53b0/uicc-v2.6.tgz).
Make sure that during USRP initialization, it shows that USB 3 is used.
# 5. Testing with Quectel RM500Q
## 5.1 Setup Quectel
With [PuTTY](https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w64/putty.exe), send the following AT commands to the module using a serial interface (ex: COM2) at 115200 bps:
```bash
# MUST be sent at least once everytime there is a firmware upgrade!
AT+QMBNCFG="Select","ROW_Commercial"
AT+QMBNCFG="AutoSel",0
AT+CFUN=1,1
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","oai"
AT+CGDCONT=2
AT+CGDCONT=3
# (Optional, debug only, AT commands) Activate PDP context, retrieve IP address and test with ping
AT+CGACT=1,1
AT+CGPADDR=1
AT+QPING=1,"openairinterface.org"
```
## 5.2 Ping test
- UE host
```bash
ping 192.168.70.135 -t-S 12.1.1.2
```
- CN5G host
```bash
docker exec-it oai-ext-dn ping 12.1.1.2
```
## 5.3 Downlink iPerf test
- UE host
- Download iPerf for Microsoft Windows from [here](https://iperf.fr/download/windows/iperf-2.0.9-win64.zip).
- Extract to Desktop and run with Command Prompt:
```bash
cd C:\Users\User\Desktop\iPerf\iperf-2.0.9-win64\iperf-2.0.9-win64

The following steps are recommended. Please change the network interface(s) as required. Also, you should have 10Gbps interface(s): if you use two cables, you should have the XG interface. Refer to the [N300 Getting Started Guide](https://kb.ettus.com/USRP_N300/N310/N320/N321_Getting_Started_Guide) for more information.
