[Notes]
1. This command is valid only in the online mode.
2. The size of the key buffer is 1KB. The maximum 512 inputs can be maintained because 2bytes are used with one key

overwritten.
4. The key buffer is initialized when start exclusive key with this command.
5. The key buffer is not initialized when end exclusive key with this command. Thus, it is possible to acquire the key
information when exclusive key is ended.

online state after recovering from the error.
