3.9. Serial interfaces

The module provides three serial ports: UART Port, Debug Port and Auxiliary UART Port. The

module is designed as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional

DCE-DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connection. Autobauding function supports baud rate from

4800bps to 115200bps.

The UART Port:



TXD: Send data to RXD of DTE.



RXD: Receive data from TXD of DTE.



RTS: Request to send.



CTS: Clear to send.



DTR: DTE is ready and inform DCE (this pin can wake the module up).



RI: Ring indicator (when the call, SMS, data of the module are coming, the module will

output signal to inform DTE).



DCD: Data carrier detection (the validity of this pin demonstrates the communication link is

set up).

Note: The module disables hardware flow control by default. When hardware flow control is

required, RTS and CTS should be connected to the host. AT command “AT+IFC=2,2” is used to

enable hardware flow control. AT command “AT+IFC=0,0” is used to disable the hardware

flow control. For more details, please refer to the document [1].
