Autobauding allows the module to detect the baud rate by receiving the string AT or “at” from
the host or PC automatically, which gives module flexibility without considering which baud rate
is used by the host controller. Autobauding is enabled in default. To take advantage of the
autobauding mode, special attention should be paid according to the following requirements:
Synchronization between DTE and DCE:
When DCE (the module) powers on and the autobauding is enabled, it is recommended to wait 2
to 3 seconds before sending the first AT character. After receiving the “OK” response, DTE and
DCE are correctly synchronized.
If the host controller needs URC in the mode of autobauding, it must be synchronized firstly.
Otherwise the URC will be discarded.
Restrictions on autobauding operation
The UART port has to be operated at 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit (factory setting).
The A/ and a/ commands cant be used.
Only the strings AT or at can be detected (neither At nor aT”).
The Unsolicited Result Codes like "RDY", "+CFUN: 1" and "+CPIN: READYwill not be
indicated when the module is turned on with autobauding enabled and not be synchronized.
Any other Unsolicited Result Codes will be sent at the previous baud rate before the module
detects the new baud rate by receiving the first AT or at string. The DTE may receive
unknown characters after switching to new baud rate.
It is not recommended to switch to autobauding from a fixed baud rate.
If autobauding is active it is not recommended to switch to multiplex mode
Note: To assure reliable communication and avoid any problems caused by undetermined baud
rate between DCE and DTE, it is strongly recommended to configure a fixed baud rate and save
it instead of using autobauding after start-up. For more details, please refer to Section
“AT+IPR” in document [1].
3.8.1.2. The connection of UART
The connection between module and host via UART port is very flexible. Three connection styles
are illustrated as below.
UART Port connection is shown as below when it is applied in modulation-demodulation.
