Specifications
Rev. 7 August 2021 53 41110485
Active Mode
In Active mode the FX30S application processor is running and the modem is operating in
one of the following modes:
• Full function—The application processor is fully functional and the WWAN radio is on;
the GNSS radio can be turned on/off.
• Idle—The application processor is fully functional and the WWAN radio is on. The
module is registered on the network, but there is no active connection; the GNSS
radio can be turned on/off.
• Airplane mode—The application processor is fully functional and the WWAN radio is
off; the GNSS radio can be turned on/off. By default the GNSS radio is on.
Depending on the application, you can lower power consumption by disabling the
Ethernet interface using GPIO55 (see Table D-1 on page 78).
Note: GPS bias cannot be disabled to lower power consumption. The Legato command “gnss
disable” only disables the GPS within the WP module.
