This command requests a transfer of a single sector of data from the host. Table 7.27 defines the content of
this sector of information. The password supplied in the sector of data transferred is compared with the
stored Set Max password.
If the password compare fails, then the device returns command aborted and decrements the unlock counter.
On the acceptance of the SET MAX LOCK command, this counter is set to a value of five and is decrement
for each password mismatch when SET MAX UNLOCK command is issued and the device is locked. When
this counter reaches zero, then the SET MAX UNLOCK command returns command aborted until a power
cycle. If the password compare matches, then the device makes a transition to the Set Max Unlocked State
and all Set Max commands are accepted.
This command shall not be immediately preceded by a READ MAX ADDRESS command. If this command is
immediately preceded by a READ MAX ADDRESS command, it is interpreted as a SET MAX AADDRESS
command. If the device is not in the Set Max Locked state, the device reports command aborted.
