Mode
The application mode initializes the LAN, WAN and all the necessary device drivers for normal
operation. After initializing LAN and WAN, before all the system tasks are started, the concentrator
waits for time from the UtiliNet radio. The details of the time synchronization mechanism between
the concentrator and the UtiliNet WAN are explained below. Upon acquiring the TIME from the
UtiliNet radio, the concentrator gets into the normal application mode.
