Following picture shows the internal WAKE# driver: WAKE# output may be connected to an edge sensitive application input (e.g. a microcontroller input with IRQ enabled). No external pull-up is needed, since it is internally implemented. EXAMPLE: In the following example, a RING monitor activates the WAKEUP signal. (cf. Event Monitor App.Note 80000nt10043a) AT#ENAEVMONI=0 //disable all events...

W_DISABLE# is used to force the module to shut down. Thanks to its internal pull-up, leaving this pin unconnected allows the module to operate normally. This switch follows the behavior as described in the PCI-Express Mini Card specification. LED_WWAN# is driven, by default, by the module according the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.1.
