15 Application Notes and Examples
15.1 Box initializations:
15.1.1 DC-2/MC-1:
When the DC-2/MC-1 is powered on it will initialize the serial port and then transmit the DC_WAKEUP
Packet, and look for an ACK from the HOST. Currently if an ACK is not received the DC-2/MC-1
continues to operate. This message is mostly for the HOST to know if the DC-2/MC-1 is in an operational
state.
15.1.2 HOST:
When the HOST issues a HOST_WAKEUP Packet the DC-2/MC-1 responds with an ACK and then
transmits the current FPD buffer with a DC_FPD notification. If the Host issues a HOST_WAKEUP
command and does not receive the ACK it should assume it is not connected or the DC-2/MC-1 is not
capable of responding on the rs-232 and therefore further serial communications will not be possible. If the
DC-2/MC-1 RS232 is capable of communicating the DC-2/MC-1 will respond to a HOST_WAKEUP
Command in any “On” state including standby.
