Rebooting a 3g card on a cisco router

[slauzon]

Is there a way to reboot only the 3G modem card on a cisco router without rebooting the router? We have a cisco 881G with a PCEX-3G-HSPA-A card and sometime our ISP ask us to reboot the modem. We use the 3G card has a backup connection. If we reboot the router, we will lose the communication with the head office. So this is why we would like to know if there is a way to connect on the 3G card and reboot only the modem.

Thanks for your help on this issue.

Router(config)#exit
