channel numbers).
ID Networking
{Addressing}
PAN ID. Set/Read the PAN
(Personal Area Network) ID._ Use
0xFFFF to broadcast messages
to all PANs.
0 - 0xFFFF 0x3332_
(13106d)
DH
Networking
{Addressing} Destination Address High.
Set/Read the upper 32 bits of the
64-bit destination address. When
combined with DL, it defines the
destination address used for
transmission. To transmit using a
16-bit address, set DH parameter
to zero and DL less than 0xFFFF.
0x000000000000FFFF is the
broadcast address for the PAN.
0 - 0xFFFFFFFF 0
DL
Networking
{Addressing} Destination Address Low.
Set/Read the lower 32 bits of the
64-bit destination address. When
combined with DH, DL defines the
destination address used for
transmission. To transmit using a
16-bit address, set DH parameter
to zero and DL less than 0xFFFF.
0x000000000000FFFF is the
broadcast address for the PAN.
0 - 0xFFFFFFFF 0
MY Networking
{Addressing}
16-bit Source Address.Set/Read
the RF module 16-bit source
address. Set MY = 0xFFFF to
disable reception of packets with
16-bit addresses. 64-bit source
address (serial number) and
broadcast address
(0x000000000000FFFF) is
always enabled.
0 - 0xFFFF 0
SH Networking
{Addressing}
Serial Number High. Read high
32 bits of the RF module's unique
IEEE 64-bit address. 64-bit
source address is always
enabled.
0 - 0xFFFFFFFF
[read-only] Factory-set
SL Networking
{Addressing}
Serial Number Low. Read low
32 bits of the RF module's unique
IEEE 64-bit address. 64-bit
source address is always
enabled.
0 - 0xFFFFFFFF
[read-only] Factory-set
RR ( v1.xA0*) Networking
{Addressing}
XBee Retries. Set/Read the
maximum number of retries the
module will execute in addition to
the 3 retries provided by the
802.15.4 MAC. For each XBee
retry, the 802.15.4 MAC can
execute up to 3 retries.
0 - 6 0
RN Networking
{Addressing}
Random Delay Slots. Set/Read
the minimum value of the back-off
exponent in the CSMA-CA 0 - 3 [exponent] 0

avoidance. If RN = 0, collision
avoidance is disabledduring the
first iteration of the algorithm
(802.15.4 - macMinBE).
MM ( v1.x80*)
Networking
{Addressing} MAC Mode.Set/Read MAC Mode
value. MAC Mode
enables/disables the useof a
BLACK BOX header in the
802.15.4 RF packet. When Mode
0 is enabled (MM=0), duplicate
packet detection is enabled as
well as certain AT commands.
Modes 1 and 2 are strict 802.15.4
modes.

NI ( v1.x80*) Networking
{Identification}
Node Identifier.Stores a string
identifier. The register only
accepts printable ASCII data. A
string can not start with a space.
Carriage return ends command.
Command will automatically end
when maximum bytes for the
string have been entered. This
string is returned as part of the
ND (Node Discover) command.
This identifier is also used with
the DN (Destination Node)
command.
20-character
ASCII string -
ND ( v1.x80*) Networking
{Identification}
Node Discover.Discovers and
reports all RF modules found. The
following information is reported
for each module discovered (the
example cites use of Transparent
operation (AT command format) -
refer to the long ND command
description regarding differences
between Transparent and API
operation).
MY<CR>
SH<CR>
SL<CR>
DB<CR>
NI<CR><CR>
The amount of time the module
allows for responses is
determined by the NT parameter.
In Transparent operation,
command completion is
designated by a <CR> (carriage
return). ND also accepts a Node
Identifier as a parameter. In this
case, only a module matching the
supplied identifier will respond.
Optional

wait for responses from other 0x01 - 0xFC 0x19
