  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). 

 

 

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]

.

 

 
The Debug Port 

  DBG_TXD: Send data to the COM port of computer. 

  DBG_RXD: Receive data from the COM port of computer. 

 
The Auxiliary UART Port 

  TXD_AUX: Send data to the RXD of DTE. 

  RXD_AUX: Receive data from the TXD of DTE. 

 

The logic levels are described in the following table.
