General Purpose Input/Output
GPIOs are not supported by TOBY-L2 series modules “00”, “01” and “50” product versions, except for:
Wireless Wide Area Network status indication configured on
GPIO1
of “00”, “01” product
versions
Wi-Fi enable function configured on the
GPIO1
of “50” product version
GPIOs are not available on MPCI-L2 series modules.
TOBY-L2 series modules include 14 pins (
