3.6.2.2. Power down GSM Part using Command
It is also a safe way to turn off the GSM module via AT command AT+QPOWD=1. This command will let
the GSM module log off from the network and allow the firmware to save important data before completely
disconnecting the power supply.
Before the completion of the power down procedure, the GSM module sends out the result code shown
below:
NORMAL POWER DOWN
After that moment, no further AT commands can be executed. And then the GSM module enters into the
power down mode.
Please refer to document [1] for details about the AT command AT+QPOWD.
3.7. Serial Interfaces
The module provides four serial ports: UART Port, Debug Port, Auxiliary UART Port and GNSS UART
Port. The module is designed as DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional
DCE-DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connection. Autobauding function supports baud rate from
4800bps to 115200bps.
