When a module does not have its configuration, what state does it enter?

When a module does not have its configuration, it typically enters a waiting mode. In this state, the module is essentially on standby, waiting for the necessary configuration data to be loaded. This is crucial because without proper configuration, the module cannot perform its intended functions or communicate effectively with other components of the system.

In waiting mode, the module may still remain powered and capable of receiving configuration data, but it’s not actively processing or performing any tasks. This ensures system stability until the correct configuration is applied. The other states like configured mode, runtime mode, and idle mode imply varying levels of activity and readiness that require some form of configuration or operational data, which is not present in this scenario. Thus, the waiting mode accurately reflects the state of a module lacking its configuration.
