7.7.2 RESET sequence
To activate the emergency RESET sequence, the RESET signal must be put to a low level during at least 10
ms.
A soon as the modem has been RESET, if a SIM card is inserted inside the SIM reader, you must wait for
the end of the initialization before accessing it again. Moreover, the acquisition time of a GPS position will
have to be taken into consideration.
•
Using the RESET does not restore the factory parameters.
7.8 WatchDog
The Hardware WatchDog function allows the surveillance of the modem software activity: the Software
management of the WatchDog is implanted in the embedded application by default. In the case of a
development (EGM) it must be implanted in the embedded application of the final customer.
If the software activity is interrupted, the WatchDog component starts a hardware Reset.
The WatchDog function is active only if the SIM card is present. That’s why, it is imperative to remove the
SIM card during a Firmware updating.
