Input to the GE866-QUAD that
controls the Hardware flow control
8
CTS - cts_uart
B1
Clear to Send
Output from the GE866-QUAD that
controls the Hardware flow control
9
RI - ri_uart
B3
Ring Indicator
Output from the GE866-QUAD that
indicates the incoming call condition
NOTE:
According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side, therefore
on the GE866-QUAD side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the
application side will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of
the GE866-QUAD serial port and vice versa for RX.
NOTE:
For a minimum implementation, only the TXD and RXD lines can be connected, the
other lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.
NOTE:
In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH
logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the GE866-QUAD when the module is
powered off or during an ON/OFF transition.
