the Hardware flow control

Output from the GE864-QUAD / PY that indicates

the incoming call condition

NOTE: According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side, therefore on

the GE864 side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of the GE864 serial port and viceversa for RX.

TIP: For a minimum implementation, only the TXD and RXD lines can be connected, the other lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.

TIP: In order to avoid noise or interferences on the RXD lines it is suggested to add a pull up resistor (100Kohm to 2.8V)
