    External GSM • GSM Serial Port - A QPRO that DOES NOT include an internal GSM module has an option to use an RS-232 serial port to communicate with an external GSM module, or it can be used as an additional serial port with the use of a custom application. For example, the AUX Port could be used for an External GSM: Pins: 5 (Rx), 6 (Tx), and GND (Pin 9, 12, 26, or 35).
