3.8.3. W_DISABLE# Signal
EG21-G Mini PCIe provides a W_DISABLE# signal to disable or enable the RF function (excluding
GNSS). The W_DISABLE# pin is pulled up by default. Its control function for airplane mode is disabled by
default, and AT+QCFG=“airplanecontrol”,1 can be used to enable the function. Driving it low can make
the module enter airplane mode.

The RF function can also be enabled or disabled through AT commands AT+CFUN, and the details are
as follows.

3.8.4. PERST# Signal
The PERST# signal can be used to force a hardware reset on the card. The module can be reset by
driving the PERST# signal low for 150ms~460ms and then releasing it. The PERST# signal is sensitive to
interference. The traces should be as short as possible and be surrounded with ground. The reset
scenario is illustrated in the following figure.
