2 Interface Characteristics
ELS31-V / ELS51-V is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external
application. The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as
well as the RF antenna interfaces.
2.1 Application Interface
2.1.1 USB Interface
ELS31-V / ELS51-V supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full
Speed (12Mbit/s) compliant. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as command and
data interface and for downloading firmware.
The V
line is used for cable detection only, this is to be supplied by the external device. The
USB
USB circuitry in the ELS31-V / ELS51-V is designed to meet the USB 2.0 specification for self-
1
power.2.0”
.
To properly connect the module's USB interface to the external application, a USB 2.0 compatible connector and cable or hardware design is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver
distributed with ELS31-V / ELS51-V needs to be installed.

2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC0
ELS31-V / ELS51-V offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with
ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data
bit or inactive state).
ELS31-V / ELS51-V is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE
connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:
• Port TXD @ application sends data to the module’s TXD0 signal line
• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD0 signal line
Figure 3: Serial interface ASC0
Features:
• Includes the data lines TXD0 and RXD0, t he status line s RTS0 and CTS0 and, in addition,
the modem control lines DTR0, DSR0, DCD0 and RING0.
• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
• ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1200bps up to 921600bps.
• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. Communication is possi ble by using only RXD
and TXD lines, if RTS0 is pulled low.
• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).

2.1.3 Serial Interface ASC1 (ELS51-V Only)
ELS51-V provides a 4-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC1 conforming to
ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T
V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit
or inactive state). With ELS31-V, ASC1 can only be used as data interface.
ELS51-V is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections
it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:
• Port TXD @ application sends data to module’s TXD1 signal line
• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD1 signal line
Figure 4: Serial interface ASC1
Features
• Includes only the data lines TXD1 and RXD1 plus RTS1 and CTS1 for hardware handshake.
• On ASC1 no RING line is available.
• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 or 2 stop bits.
• ASC1 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200 bps to 921600 bps.
• Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow control. Communication is possi ble by using only RXD
and TXD lines, if RTS1 is pulled low.
• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).
