WM_PRJ_M12_UGD_001 - 002 18th September 2003 Additional comments on RESET: The RESET process is activated either by the external RESET signal or by an internal signal (coming from a RESET generator). This automatic reset is activated at Power-up. The modem remains in RESET mode as long as the RESET signal is held low. This signal should be used only for “emergency” resets. A software reset is always preferred to a hardware reset. 2.3.
