Autobauding allows SIM800 to automatically detect the baud rate of the host device. Pay more attention to the
following requirements:
z Synchronization between DTE and DCE:
When DCE powers on with autobauding enabled, firstly, user must send character “A” or “a” to
synchronize the baud rate. It is recommended to send “AT” until DTE receives the “OK” response, which
means DTE and DCE are correctly synchronized. For more information please refer to the AT command
“AT+IPR”.
z Restrictions of autobauding operation:
The DTE serial port must be set at 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
The URC such as "RDY", "+CFUN: 1" and "+CPIN: READY” will not be reported.
Note: User can use AT command “AT+IPR=x” to set a fixed baud rate and the setting will be saved to
non-volatile flash memory automatically. After the configuration is set as fixed baud rate, the URC such as
"RDY", "+CFUN: 1" and "+CPIN: READY” will be reported when SIM800 is powered on.

Serial Port
The following figure shows the connection between module and client (DTE).
Figure 19: Connection of the serial port
If the voltage of UART is 3.3V, the following reference circuits are recommended. If the voltage is 3.0V, please
change the resistors in the following figure from 5.6K to 14K.
