Modem On/Off Control
The modem on/off input line (HOSTPWR_ON) is an active high input
signal and is fitted with a 33
Ω
series resistor for input protection.
Internally it is passively pulled low (after the series resistor) to ground
and is asserted with a high input signal.
The Boomer-III modem is fitted with a Real Time Clock that third
party applications may utilise to wake-up the modem at a pre-
programmed alarm time. This facility may be utilised to further reduce
current consumption in battery powered applications, but note that the
modem may need to re-register on the network after wake-up
