PLS8-E: module crash on emergency call with SIM-PIN locked | Telit Cinterion IoT Developer Community

September 27, 2019 - 11:53am, 1505 views

Working with a PLS8-E running firmware version 03.017 in Linux and with ModemManager, I see that when the module has a SIM card and SIM-PIN is not yet unlocked, a call to 112 ends up crashing the module: it disappears from the USB bus in the host system and need a manual reset in the devkit to bring it back. I haven't seen the same behavior when calling 112 and there is no SIM, or when calling 112 after SIM-PIN unlock.

Is this a known issue fixed in newer firmware versions?
