Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 22 of 28 Hardware Flow Control Mechanism is provided via the signals CTS, DTR and RTS. Flow control is used for CSD applications. To activate or de-activate the Flow Control mechanism, switch S3 must be set as presented in Table 7 and Table 8 respectively.
Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 23 of 28 Note! Special care shall be taken when using the header connector in order to prevent damage to the RS-232 transceivers, N1, N2 and N11. The following table shows how to set the switch S3 when using the system connector header.
Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 24 of 28 3.8 RF Interface An MMCX connector, J3, is provided on the Developer's board and routed to a SMA connector, J5. This allows a standard cellular antenna with SMA connector to be used if the module has a non-SMA connector mounted on it. An MMCX to MMCX RF Jumper is provided to connect from the module to J3.
Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 25 of 28 3.11.3 Power Down When shutting down the developer's board and/or module it is important that the module is allowed to perform and orderly shutdown before power is removed. Do NOT simply pull the plug. This includes when the Module_Pwr_En_B signal is used to put the module to sleep.
Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 26 of 28 4 Troubleshooting Your Application 4.1 System Connector Header The application can use the 40-pin header connector to interface to the module. The pin numbering of the header connector is the same as for the 40-pin system connector. Both the application and the development system can drive most of the input pins to the module.
Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 27 of 28 The application will take control of this signal 28 / RTS Request To Send when connected. The application must be capable of handling a 1k ohm load. The application and the development system 30 / DFMS Data From Module Station can use this signal at the same time.
Developer's Board Manual Rev A Page 28 of 28 4.3.1 Development System FAQ 1) The microphone does not work. – Make sure that the S201 switch is in PRE-AMP position and that ATMS from the application is disconnected from the header connector. 2) The earpiece volume is low.
