UART features
LEXI-R422 modules include a primary UART interface (UART) for communication with an application
host processor, supporting AT commands, data communication, multiplexer protocol functionality
(see
), and FW update by means of FOAT, with settings configurable by dedicated AT
commands (for more details, see the AT commands manual
•
8-wire serial port with RS-232 functionality conforming to ITU-T V.24 recommendation
, with
CMOS compatible signal levels (0 V for low data bit / ON state, 1.8 V for high data bit / OFF state)
o
Data lines (
RXD
as data output,
TXD
as data input)
o
HW flow control lines (

as flow control output,
RTS
as flow control input)
o
Modem status and control lines (
DTR

UART signal names of LEXI-R422 modules conform to the ITU-T V.24
: e.g.
TXD
line represents
data transmitted by the DTE (host processor output) and received by the DCE (module input).
LEXI-R422 modules include an auxiliary UART interface (UART AUX) for communication with an host
processor, supporting AT commands, data, GNSS tunneling, FW update by means of FOAT, with
settings configurable by dedicated AT commands (for details, see the AT commands manual

Data lines (

LEXI-R422 modules UART interface is by default configured in AT command mode: the module waits
for AT command instructions and interprets all the characters received as commands to execute. The
functionalities supported by the modules can be in general set and configured by AT commands:
•
AT commands according to 3GPP TS 27.007
•
u-blox AT commands (see the AT commands manual
The default baud rate is 115200 b/s. The default frame format is 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop
bit: see
). Baud rates can be configured by AT command (see the AT commands manual
☞
Automatic baud rate detection and automatic frame format recognition are not supported.

UART signals behavior
At the end of the module boot sequence (see
), the module is by default in active mode, and
the UART interface is initialized and enabled as AT commands interface.
