Modem Power Switch
If the modem does not respond to signals on the PWR_CTL line, a power cycle (OFF-ON) of
the modem’s power is required. This condition may occur due to unpredictable network
traffic and/or unstable power sources and is more likely when the modem is running 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
If the host assembly does not control power to the modem, you should add a power switch to
the host assembly similar to the one shown below.
