EEPROM Options for MODE SELECT Defaults
As shown in Table A-1, many EEPROM options allow you to specify
the power-on defaults for various fields in the MODE SELECT
command. These power-on defaults can be overridden by issuing a
MODE SELECT command at any time during CTS operation.
Note: The options in Table A-1 are arranged in MODE SELECT Page
Code order. (For example, options for Page Code 01h are
listed before options for Page Code 20h.)

send fixed-length blocks without
first issuing a MODE SELECT
command).
