I have the UE910 cellular module from Telit. I have manufactured a PCB containing the module but it's not working (power is reaching it but serial program not communicating with the tx and rx pins). I know now that the problem maybe is that I left 2 pins ("On/OFF" and "HW_Shutdown") unconnected even though the datasheet recommends connecting them.

I attached some screenshots from the datasheet.

It is written however that the "HW_shutddown" pin can be left floating as it is internally pulled up so it might be the "ON/OFF" one that need to be connected. Can you help me state the functionality of that pin? Do you think it is the reason why the module is not working?

No where in the text you copied does it say that HW_SHUTDOWN* is internally pulled up. Instead it states that this pin must not be left floating. Since it is active low for shutdown, I’d tie it to Vcc (1.8V).

As for ON_OFF*, while it is internally pulled up, you must pulse it low for at least 5 seconds to activate the unit, as shown in section 5.2 that you included.

The text you included seems quite clear. I’m not sure what is confusing you.
