3.8.1 Function of serial port & debug port supporting
Serial port
z Modem device.
z Contains data lines TXD and RXD, State lines RTS and CTS, Control lines DTR, DCD, DSR and RI.
z Serial port can be used for CSD FAX, GPRS service and send AT command of controlling module. Also
serial port can be used for multiplexing function. SIM900 supports only basic mode of multiplexing so far.
z Serial port supports the communication rates as following:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200bps.
z Autobauding supports baud rates as following:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 57600bps, the default setting is autobauding.
Autobauding allows the GSM engine to automatically detect the baud rate configured in the host application. The
