Modes of Operation XCite RF Modules operate in five modes. Figure 2‐04. Modes of Operation 2.2.1. Idle Mode When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF module is in Idle Mode. The module shifts into the other modes of operation under ...

Page 11

Receive Mode If a modem detects RF transmitted data while operating in Idle Mode, it transitions into Receive Mode to start receiving packets. Once a packet is received, it goes through the receiving-end of a CRC (cyclic redundancy ...
