It is recommended to control this EMERG_RST line with an open collector transistor or an open
drain field-effect transistor.
Note: It is necessary to trigger EMERG_RST after a module turn off by a sudden (incomplete)
power drop, and before using ON to restart the module (see also Section 3.2.1.2).
Caution: Generally, use the EMERG_RST line only when, due to serious problems, the soft-
ware is not responding for more than 5 seconds. Pulling the EMERG_RST line causes the loss
of all information stored in the volatile memory. Therefore, this procedure is intended only for
use in case of emergency, e.g. if ELS31-VA/ELS51-VA does not respond, if restart or shutdown
via AT command fails.
