ANT data exchange with master when slaves are already ON

Device: nRF52840

SDK: 16.0

Softdevice: ANT_s340_nrf52840_6.1.1

Hello,

We have a master and several slaves setup in a simple master/slave channel configuration.

It seems like the master must be in powered-ON state while slaves connect with it. I have been seeing situations where, in case, master is turned ON while slaves were already ON, they don't exchange data. As soon as slaves are power cycled, they start getting data from the master (a constant 1s ping).

How to cop with such a situation? In our application we don't have control over when a user turns on/off the master or a slave device.

Thanks.
