Communication with multiple slots
Power on control and commands to SAM cards in other slots can be sent and received while
power to the SAM card in any other slot is maintained. In case of switching access between SAM
cards in the slots, the accessed slot is switched without cutting off the power to the slot that was
accessed immediately before, so that switching access back to the previous slot is immediate.
