50, the procedure to enable power saving depends on the HW flow-control status. If HW
flow-control is enabled (AT&K3, that is the default setting) power saving will be activated by
AT+UPSV=1. Through this configuration, when the module is in idle-mode, data transmitted by the DTE is
buffered by the DTE and is correctly received by the module when active-mode is entered.
If the HW flow-control is disabled (AT&K0), AT+UPSV=2 can enable the power saving. The module is
in idle-mode until a high-to-low (i.e. OFF-to-ON) transition on the RTS input line switches the module
from idle-mode to active-mode in 20 ms. The module is forced into active-mode if the RTS input line is
held in the ON state.
Providing the TXD and RXD lines only (not using the complete V24 link)
If the functionality of the CTS, RTS, DSR, DCD, RI and DTR lines is not required in the application, or
the lines are not available, the circuit with a 1.8 V Application Processor should be implemented as
described in
Figure 51Figure
51:
Connect the module RTS input line to GND or to the CTS output line of the module: since the
module requires RTS active (low electrical level) if HW flow-control is enabled (AT&K3, that is the
default setting), the pin can be connected using a 0 series resistor to GND or to the active-
module CTS (low electrical level) when the module is in active-mode, the UART interface is enabled
and the HW flow-control is enabled
Connect the module DTR input line to GND, since the module requires DTR active (low electrical
level)
Leave DSR, DCD and RI lines of the module unconnected and floating
