2.6.1 Primary UART (UART1)
The module’s primary UART is a standard 8-signal bus. The primary UART is used for all the
communications with the module – AT commands interface, Data Calls and CSD data, programming and
software upgrades.
The UART signals are active low CMOS level signals. For standard RS232 communications with a PC, an
external transceiver is required.
The module is defined as a DCE device, and the user application is defined as the DTE device. These
definitions apply for the UART signals naming conventions, and the direction of data flow, as described in
the following figure.
