When power on procedure completes, the SIM900 will send out following result code to indicate the module is
ready to operate when set as fixed baud rate.
RDY
This result code does not appear when autobauding is active.
3.4.1.2 Turn on SIM900 Using the PWRKEY Pin and PWRKEY_OUT Pin (Power on)
User can turn on SIM900 by connecting PWRKEY Pin and PWRKEY_OUT Pin for a short time and then
release. The simple circuit illustrates as the following figures.
