The STATUS pin is an open drain output for indicating the module
’s operation status. You can connect it
to a GPIO of DTE with a pull up resistor, or as the LED indication circuit shown below. When the module is
turned on normally, the STATUS will present the low state. Otherwise, the STATUS will present
high-impedance state.
