We can use a USB to FDTI cable to connect and power the RFD900x from the PC, however to avoid brownouts, we might want to consider using an external power source. (To power off USB, a jumper is needed to connect pins 4 and 6)

and then reboot modem ATZ
To communicate, simply exit AT Command mode and send information through serial.
