Serial Ports 
The serial port on the Telit GC864-QUAD V2 / GC864-DUAL V2 is the core of the 
interface between the module and OEM hardware.  
2 serial ports are available on the module: 
•  MODEM SERIAL PORT 
•  MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (TRACE for debug) 
9.1.
 
MODEM SERIAL PORT 
Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware, but 
the most common are: 
•  RS232 PC com port 
•  microcontroller UART @ 2.8V – 3V  (Universal Asynchronous Receive 
Transmit)  
•  microcontroller UART@ 5V or other voltages different from 2.8V  
Depending from the type of serial port on the OEM hardware a level translator circuit 
may be needed to make the system work. The only configuration that does not need a 
level translation is the 2.8V UART. 
The serial port on the GC864-QUAD V2 / GC864-DUAL V2 is a +2.8V UART with all the 
7 RS232 signals. It differs from the PC-RS232 in the signal polarity (RS232 is 
reversed) and levels. The levels for the GC864-QUAD V2 / GC864-DUAL V2 UART are 
the CMOS levels:
