GSM_CTS will also be activated if any character is to be sent.
After the last character was sent or received the interface will remain active for
· another 2 seconds, if AT+CFUN=5 or 7,
· another 10 minutes, if AT+CFUN=6 or 8,
· or for an individual time defined with AT^SCFG, if AT+CFUN=9. Assertion of GSM_RTS
has the same effect.
In the pauses between listening to paging messages, while GSM_CTS is high, the module
resumes power saving and the AT interface is not accessible. See Figure 12 and Figure 13.
