7.3.1.2.3 Data Flow into the Mote Serial Port
Figure 10 illustrates the process the mote uses to receive serial data:
The mote may receive serial packets for local commands (not intended for wireless transmission) at any time regardless of the
MT_CTS status.
The mote signals its readiness to receive serial packets for wireless transmission (serial payload command 0x80) by driving
MT_CTS active low. The mote will drive MT_CTS low within interpacket_delay time (see Table 12) after the transmission of
the last packet.
