ES820 Hardware Guide: Specifications RF Kill (pin 22 - active lo) - controls the RF Kill feature, which turns all radio transmission OFF. When this pin is held lo, all RF emissions are suppressed. When the pin is not held lo, radios revert to normal operation, as defined by the current configuration of the ES820. This pin would commonly be tied to a toggle switch. Reset (pin 23 - active on falling edge) - reboots the box. Resetting is equivalent to power cycling the ES820.
