Configurations Pins
The FN990 modems can be configured as USB 3.1 Gen 2 or PCIe devices. The primary
host interface can be set using the four pins listed in the table below.

PCIe or USB 3.1 Gen 2
Port Configuration 2
(Applicable to WWAN only)
Note: On the host side, each of the CONFIG_0 to CONFIG_3 signals must be
equipped with a pull-up resistor. Based on the state of the configuration pins on
