 „ Auto-Bauding

SIM900 supports baud rate from 1200 bps to 115200 bps, also support auto-

bauding mode.

When power on under auto-bauding mode, the first letter of command should

be uppercase, such as “AT” or “At”, otherwise, module will not give any

response. Usually, command with all uppercase letters are strongly

recommendatory.
