directly. Requires current limiting resistor. 8mA maximum.
O
LED_RX 23 Active high output indicates receive and synchronization status.
Active high, cannot drive LED directly. Requires current limiting
resistor. 8mA maximum.
O
LED_TX 24 Active high output indicates module is transmitting data over the RF
channel. Active high, cannot drive LED directly. Requires current
limiting resistor. 8mA maximum.
O
Serial RING 27
Internally connected to GND through a 22kΩ resistor. In RS485
modes the RING line is set high and is normally used to enable the
receiver of the RS485 driver.
O
Serial RxD 28 Receive Data. Logic level input into the modem. It is recommended
to wire this pin out through a zero ohm resister to a header and
jumper block for external access to the serial port for modem
recovery procedures.
I
Serial TxD 29 Transmit Data. Logic level Output from the modem. It is
recommended to wire this pin out through a zero ohm resister to a
header and jumper block for external access to the serial port for
modem recovery procedures.
O
Serial DSR 30
Data Set Ready. Active low output. The DSR line may be used to
enable the transmitter of the RS485 driver chip.
O
Serial CTS 31
Clear To Send. Active low output. The CTS line may be used to
enable the transmitter of the RS485 driver chip.
O
Serial DTR 32 Data Terminal Ready. Active low input. I

Caution: During power up
or reset, output pins from
the Pico are in an unknown
state. It is advised to use
pull up or pull down
resisters as appropriate.
