Abstract
A method and apparatus in which a radio frequency transceiver is controlled via a plurality of connectors including providing control information for changing a mode of operation of the receiver. The modes can be transmit and receive modes, and the connectors can be configured to perform various functions depending on the mode of operation. Control signals, time critical control signals, and other types of signals may be received at one or more of the connectors in the different modes of operation. The functions may control a power amplifier of a transmitter portion of the transceiver, read/write data from/to registers of the transceiver, and/or other functions.
