Upon reset or power-up, a transceiver requires a minimum of 400ms for hardware initialization to
complete. During this time, CTS is driven logic high prohibiting the reception of any data or
commands. Once complete, CTS is driven logic low, allowing a transceiver to send or receive data
and commands, depending on the mode of operation.

When operating in any Transparent Mode, the initialization sequence is managed by the AeroComm
protocol. API commands are not issued and there are no acknowledgements from a transceiver on
data delivery, unless the OEM protocol has built-in acknowledgements. The IN_RANGE pin (Pin 15)
provides in range information for the Transparent Modes.

After the hardware initialization has completed, a transceiver operating in API Mode is ready to send
and receive API commands as outlined in Section 5, API Command Set

command that cannot be issued is the

Before data communications can begin, a Client needs to be authenticated. The Client Host must
issue an

The AC5124 transceivers are designed to be single threaded, meaning that for every command issued,
there is a reply command that indicates the completion of the command issued. There can be no
command interleaving.
