RS232 Modem Signals

6


Just as a telephony modem has control and status lines, the blu

2i

Module

also provides for 6 control and status lines as per the table below. The
direction column is as seen from the modules viewpoint.

Direction

Function

IN or OUT

CI also known as RI (Ring Indicate)

IN or OUT

DCD (Data Carrier Detect)

IN

DSR (Data Set ready)

OUT

DTR (Data Terminal Ready)

IN

CTS (Clear to Send)

OUT

RTS (Request to Send)


The first four lines are under program control and as such require GPIO
pins and they are mapped to I/O as per the table below. The last two are
under control of the UART driver and their functionality is always
enabled.

Notes:

1

PIO4 (DSR) is used by the blu

2i

module to sense that the host is

connected, and is intricately linked with connections. For outgoing calls,
if this line is not asserted then an error is immediately. Similarly for
AT+BTP and AT+BTG.
While in a call, for appropriate modes, a deassertion means fall into
command state. If the deassertion exists for longer than the period
