2. RF Module Operation
2.1. Serial Communications
The XBee-PRO™ XSC OEM RF Module interfaces to a host device through a CMOS-level
asynchronous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can communicate with any UART
voltage compatible device or through a level translator to any RS-232/485/422 device.
2.1.1. UART-Interfaced Data Flow
Devices that have a UART interface can connect directly through the pins of the XBee‐PRO Module as is shown
in the figure below.

2.1.2. Serial Data
Data enters the XBee-PRO Module through the DI pin as an asynchronous serial signal. The signal
should idle high when no data is being transmitted.
The UART performs tasks, such as timing and parity checking, that are needed for data
communications. Serial communication consists of two UARTs configured with compatible
parameters (baud rate, parity, start bits, stop bits, data bits) to have successful communication.
Each data packet consists of a start bit (low), 8 data bits (least significant bit first) and a stop bit
(high). The following figure illustrates the serial bit pattern of data passing through the module.

2.1.3. Flow Control
Figure 2‐03. Internal Data Flow Diagram (The five most commonly‐used pin signals shown.)
DI (Data In) Buffer and Flow Control
When serial data enters the XBee-PRO Module through the DI Pin, then the data is stored in the DI
Buffer until it can be transmitted.
When the RO parameter threshold is satisfied (refer to Transmit Mode and Command Descriptions
sections for more information), the module attempts to initialize an RF connection. If the module is
already receiving RF data, the serial data is stored in the module's DI Buffer. If the DI buffer
becomes full, hardware or software flow control must be implemented in order to prevent overflow
(loss of data between the host and XBee-PRO OEM RF Module).
How to eliminate the need for flow control:
• Send messages that are smaller than the DI buffer size. The size of the DI buffer varies
according to the packet size and parity setting used.
• Interface at a lower baud rate (BD parameter) than the fixed RF data rate.
Two cases in which the DI Buffer may become full and possibly overflow:
• If the serial interface data rate is set higher than the RF data rate of the module, the module
will receive data from the host faster than it can transmit the data over-the-air.
• If the module is receiving a continuous stream of RF data or if the module is monitoring data
on a network, any serial data that arrives on the DI pin is placed in the DI Buffer. The data in
the DI buffer will be transmitted over-the-air when the module no longer detects RF data in
the network.
Hardware Flow Control (CTS). When the DI buffer is 17 bytes away from being full; by default,
the module de-asserts (high) CTS to signal to the host device to stop sending data [refer to FT
(Flow Control Threshold) and CS (DO2 Configuration) Commands]. CTS is re-asserted after the DI
Buffer has 34 bytes of memory available.
Software Flow Control (XON). XON/XOFF software flow control can be enabled using the FL
(Software Flo DO (Data Out) Buffer and Flow Control
DO (Data Out) Buffer and Flow Control
When RF data is received, the data enters the DO buffer and is then sent out the serial port to a
host device. Once the DO Buffer reaches capacity, any additional incoming RF data is lost.
Two cases in which the DO Buffer may become full and possibly overflow:
• If the RF data rate is set higher than the interface data rate of the module, the module will
receive data from the transmitting module faster than it can send the data to the host.
• If the host does not allow the module to transmit data out from the DO buffer because of
being held off by hardware or software flow control.
Hardware Flow Control (RTS). If RTS is enabled for flow control (RT Parameter = 2), data will
not be sent out the DO Buffer as long as RTS (pin 16) is de-asserted.
Software Flow Control (XOFF). XON/XOFF software flow control can be enabled using the FL
(Software Flow Control) Command. This option only works with ASCII data.

2.2. Modes of Operation
XBee-PRO™ XSC RF Modules operate in five modes.
Figure 2‐04. Modes of Operation
2.2.1. Idle Mode
When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF module is in Idle Mode. The module shifts into the
other modes of operation under the following conditions:
• Transmit Mode (Serial data is received in the DI Buffer)
• Receive Mode (Valid RF data is received through the antenna)
• Sleep Mode (Sleep Mode condition is met)
• Command Mode (Command Mode Sequence is issued)
2.2.2. Transmit Mode
When the first byte of serial data is received from the UART in the DI buffer, the module attempts
to shift to Transmit Mode and initiate an RF connection with other modules.
Figure 2‐05. Transmission of Data
Once in Transmit Mode, the module initializes a communications channel. Channel initialization is
the process of sending an RF initializer that synchronizes receiving modules with the transmitting
module. When streaming multiple RF packets, the RF Initializer is only sent in front of the first
packet. During channel initialization, incoming serial data accumulates in the DI buffer.
After the channel is initialized, data in the DI buffer is grouped into packets (up to 64 bytes in each
packet) and is transmitted. The module continues to transmit data packets until the DI buffer is
empty. Once transmission is finished, the module returns to Idle Mode. This progression is shown
in Figure 2-05.
As the transmitting module nears the end of the transmission, it inspects the DI buffer to see if
more data exists to be transmitted. This could be the case if more bytes arrived from the host
after the transmission began. If more data is pending, the transmitting module assembles a
subsequent packet for transmission.

XBee‐PRO™ XSC OEM RF Modules
Preliminary Draft
RF Packet
Figure 2‐06. RF Packet Components
* When streaming multiple RF packets, the RF Initializer is only sent in front of the first packet.
RF Initializer
An RF initializer is sent each time a new connection sequence begins. The RF initializer contains
channel information that notifies receiving modules of information such as the hopping pattern
used by the transmitting module. The first transmission always sends an RF initializer.
An RF initializer can be of various lengths depending on the amount of time determined to be
required to prepare a receiving module. For example, a wake-up initializer is a type of RF initializer
used to wake remote modules from Sleep Mode (Refer to the FH, LH, HT and SM Commands for
more information). The length of the wake-up initializer should be longer than the length of time
remote modules are in cyclic sleep.
Header
The header contains network addressing information that filters incoming RF data. The receiving
module checks for a matching VID, Hopping Channel and Destination Address. Data that does not
pass through all three network filter layers is discarded.
Figure 2‐07. Addressing Layers contained in the Header
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)
To verify data integrity and provide built-in error checking, a 16-bit CRC (Cyclic Redundancy
Check) is computed for the transmitted data and attached to the end of each RF packet. On the
receiving end, the receiving module computes the CRC on all incoming RF data. Received data that
has an invalid CRC is discarded [See Receive Mode section, next page].

XBee‐PRO™ XSC OEM RF Modules
Preliminary Draft
2.2.3. Receive Mode
If a module detects RF data while operating in Idle Mode, the module transitions into Receive Mode
to start receiving RF packets.
Figure 2‐08. Reception of RF Data
After a packet is received, the module
checks the CRC (cyclic redundancy check)
to ensure that the data was transmitted
without error. If the CRC data bits on the
incoming packet are invalid, the packet is
discarded. If the CRC is valid, the packet
proceeds to the DO Buffer.
The module returns to Idle Mode after valid
RF data is no longer detected or after an
error is detected in the received RF data. If
serial data is stored in the DI buffer while
the module is in Receive Mode, the serial
data will be transmitted after the module is
finished receiving data and returns to Idle
Mode.
2.2.4. Sleep Mode
Sleep Modes enable the XBee-PRO Module to operate at minimal power consumption when not in
use. Three Sleep Mode options are available:
• Pin Sleep
• Cyclic Sleep
For the module to transition into Sleep Mode, the module must have a non-zero SM (Sleep Mode)
Parameter and one of the following must occur:
• The module is idle (no data transmission or reception) for a user-defined period of time [Refer
to the ST (Time before Sleep) Command].
• SLEEP is asserted (only for Pin Sleep option).
In Sleep Mode, the module will not transmit or receive data until the module first transitions to
Idle Mode. All Sleep Modes are enabled and disabled using SM Command. Transitions into and out
of Sleep Modes are triggered by various events as shown in the table below.
Table 2‐01.

(set by LH Command).
Pin Sleep (SM = 1)
Pin Sleep requires the least amount of power. In order to achieve this state, SLEEP pin must be
asserted (high). The module remains in Pin Sleep until the SLEEP pin is de-asserted.
After enabling Pin Sleep, the SLEEP pin controls whether the XBee-PRO Module is active or in
Sleep Mode. When SLEEP is de-asserted (low), the module is fully operational. When SLEEP is
asserted (high), the module transitions to Sleep Mode and remains in its lowest power-consuming
state until the SLEEP pin is de-asserted. SLEEP is only active if the module is setup to operate in
this mode; otherwise the pin is ignored.

XBee‐PRO™ XSC OEM RF Modules
Preliminary Draft
Once in Pin Sleep Mode, CTS is de-asserted (high), indicating that data should not be sent to the
module. The PWR pin is also de-asserted (low) when the module is in Pin Sleep Mode.
Note: The module will complete a transmission or reception before activating Pin Sleep.
Cyclic Sleep (SM = 3-8)
Cyclic Sleep is the Sleep Mode in which the XBee-PRO Module enters into a low-power state and
awakens periodically to determine if any transmissions are being sent.
When Cyclic Sleep settings are enabled, the XBee-PRO Module goes into Sleep Mode after a userdefined period of inactivity (no transmission or reception on the RF channel). The user-defined
period is determined by ST (Time before Sleep) Command.
While the module is in Cyclic Sleep Mode, is de-asserted (high) to indicate that data should not
be sent to the module during this time. When the module awakens to listen for data, is asserted
and any data received on the DI Pin is transmitted. The PWR pin is also de-asserted (low) when
the module is in Cyclic Sleep Mode.
The module remains in Sleep Mode for a user-defined period of time ranging from 0.5 seconds to
16 seconds (SM Parameters 3 through 8). After this interval of time, the module returns to Idle
Mode and listens for a valid data packet for 100 ms. If the module does not detect valid data (on
any frequency), the module returns to Sleep Mode. If valid data is detected, the module
transitions into Receive Mode and receives incoming RF packets. The module then returns to Sleep
Mode after a Period of inactivity that is determined by ST "Time before Sleep" Command.
The module can also be configured to wake from cyclic sleep when SLEEP (pin 2) is de-asserted
(low). To configure a module to operate in this manner, PW (Pin Wake-up) Command must be
issued. Once SLEEP is de-asserted, the module is forced into Idle Mode and can begin transmitting
or receiving data. It remains active until no data is detected for the period of time specified by the
ST Command, at which point it resumes its low-power cyclic state.
Note: The cyclic interval time defined by SM (Sleep Mode) Command must be shorter than the
interval time defined by LH (Wake-up Initializer Timer).
For example: If SM=4 (Cyclic 1.0 second sleep), the LH Parameter should equal 0x0B ("1.1"
seconds). With these parameters set, there is no risk of the receiving module being asleep for the
duration of wake-up initializer transmission. "Cyclic Scanning" explains in further detail the
relationship between "Cyclic Sleep" and "Wake-up Initializer Timer"
Cyclic Scanning. Each RF transmission consists of an RF Initializer and payload. The wake-up
initializer contains initialization information and all receiving modules must wake during the wakeup initializer portion of data transmission in order to be synchronized with the transmitting module
and receive the data.
Figure 2‐09. Correct Configuration (LH > SM)
Length of the wake‐up initializer exceeds the time interval of Cyclic Sleep. The receiver is guaranteed to detect
the wake‐up initializer and receive the accompanying payload data.

XBee‐PRO™ XSC OEM RF Modules
Preliminary Draft
Length of wake‐up initializer is shorter than the time interval of Cyclic Sleep. This configuration is vulnerable to
the receiver waking and missing the wake‐up initializer (and therefore also the accompanying payload data).

2.2.5. Command Mode
To modify or read module parameters, the module must first enter into Command Mode, the state in
which incoming characters are interpreted as commands. Two command types are available for programming the module:
• AT Commands
• Binary Commands
For modified parameter values to persist in the module registry, changes must be saved to non-volatile memory using WR (Write) Command. Otherwise, parameters are restored to previously saved values after the module is powered off and then on again.
AT Commands
To Enter AT Command Mode:
• Send the 3-character command sequence "+++" and observe guard times before and after
the command characters. [refer to ‘Default AT Command Mode Sequence’ below.] The ‘Terminal’ tab (or other serial communications software) of the X-CTU Software can be used to enter
the sequence.
[OR]
• Assert (low) the CONFIG pin and either turn the power going to the module off and back on.
(If using a Digi XBIB-R Interface Board, the same result can be achieved by holding the DataIn line low (also known as a break) while rebooting the module by pressing the reset button
on the module assembly [module assembly = module mounted to an interface board]).
Default AT Command Mode Sequence (for transition to Command Mode):
• No characters sent for one second [refer to the BT (Guard Time Before) Command]
• Input three plus characters (“+++”) within one second
[refer to the CC (Command Sequence Character) Command.]
• No characters sent for one second [refer to the AT (Guard Time After) Command.]
To Send AT Commands:
Send AT commands and parameters using the syntax shown below.
Figure 2‐11. Syntax for sending AT Commands
To read a parameter value stored in the module register, leave the parameter field blank.
The preceding example would change the module’s Destination Address to "0x1F". To store the
new value to non-volatile (long term) memory, the Write (ATWR) command must subsequently be
sent before powering off the module.
System Response. When a command is sent to the module, the module will parse and execute
the command. Upon successful execution of a command, the module returns an “OK” message. If
execution of a command results in an error, the module returns an “ERROR” message.
To Exit AT Command Mode:
• If no valid AT Commands are received within the time specified by CT (Command Mode Timeout) Command, the module automatically returns to Idle Mode.
[OR]
• Send ATCN (Exit Command Mode) Command.
For an example of programming the RF module using AT Commands and descriptions of each configurable parameter, refer to the "RF Module Configuration" chapter.

Binary Commands
Sending and receiving parameter values using binary commands is the fastest way to change
operating parameters of the module. Binary commands are used most often to sample signal
strength (RS parameter) and/or error counts; or to change module addresses and channels for
polling systems when a quick response is necessary. Since the sending and receiving of parameter
values takes place through the same data path as 'live' data (received RF payload), interference
between the two types of data can be a concern.
Common questions regarding the use of binary commands:
• What are the implications of asserting CMD while live data is being sent or received?
• After sending serial data, is there a minimum time delay before CMD can be asserted?
• Is a time delay required after CMD is de-asserted before payload data can be sent?
• How to discern between live data and data received in response to a command?
CMD (pin 5) must be asserted in order to send binary commands to the module. The CMD pin can
be asserted to recognize binary commands anytime during the transmission or reception of data.
The status of the CMD signal is only checked at the end of the stop bit as the byte is shifted into
the serial port. The application does not allow control over when data is received, except by
waiting for dead time between bursts of communication.
If the command is sent in the middle of a stream of payload data to be transmitted, the command
will essentially be executed in the order it is received. If the radio is continuously receiving data,
the radio will wait for a break in the received data before executing the command. The CTS signal
will frame the response coming from the binary command request [Figure 2-012].
A minimum time delay of 100 µs (after the stop bit of the command byte has been sent) must be
observed before pin 5 can be de-asserted. The command executes after all parameters associated
with the command have been sent. If all parameters are not received within 0.5 seconds, the
module aborts the command and returns to Idle Mode.
Note: When parameters are sent, they are two bytes long with the least significant byte sent first.
Binary commands that return one parameter byte must be written with two parameter bytes.
Refer to “Programming Examples” section [pXX] for a binary programming example.
Commands can be queried for their current value by sending the command logically ORed (bitwise) with the value 0x80 (hexadecimal) with CMD asserted. When the binary value is sent (with
no parameters), the current value of the command parameter is sent back through the DO pin.
Figure 2‐012.Binary Command Write then Read
Signal #4 is CMD (pin 16)
Signal #1 is the DIN (pin 3) signal
to the radio
Signal #2 is the DOUT (pin 2) signal
from the radio
Signal #3 is CTS (pin 12)
In this graph, a value was written to a
register and then read out to verify it.
While not in the middle of other received
data, note that the CTS signal outlines the
data response out of the module.
IMPORTANT: For the XBee-PRO Module to recognize a binary command, the RT (DI2 Configuration)
parameter must be set to one. If binary programming is not enabled (RT ? 1), the module will not recognize that the CMD pin is asserted and therefore will not recognize the data as binary commands.

3.1. XBEE-PROProgramming Examples
For information about entering and exiting AT and Binary Command Modes, refer to the Command
Mode section.
3.1.1. AT Commands
To Send AT Commands (Using the ‘Terminal’ tab of the X-CTU Software)
Example: Utilize the 'Terminal' tab of the X-CTU Software to change the module's DT (Destination Address) parameter and save the new address to non-volatile memory. This example
requires the installation of Digi’s X-CTU Software and a serial connection to a PC.
Note: Do not send com‐
mands to the module
during flash program‐
ming (when parameters
are being written to the
module registry).
Wait for the ʺOKʺ sys‐
tem response that fol‐
lows the ATWR
command before enter‐
ing the next command
or use flow control.
Select the ‘Terminal’ tab of the X-CTU Software and enter the following command lines:
Method 1 (One line per command)
Send AT Command
+++
ATDT
ATDT1A0D
ATWR
ATCN
System Response
OK (Enter into Command Mode)
{current value} (Read Destination Address)
OK (Modify Destination Address)
OK (Write to non-volatile memory)
OK (Exit Command Mode)
Method 2 (Multiple commands on one line)
Send AT Command
+++
ATDT
ATDT1A0D,WR,CN
System Response
OK (Enter into Command Mode)
{current value} (Read Destination Address)

Commands in this section are listed alphabetically. Command categories are designated between
the “< >” symbols that follow each command title. Modules expect numerical values in
hexadecimal and those values are designated by a “0x” prefix.
Modules operating within the same network should contain the same firmware version.

9600
19200
38400
57600
Number of bytes returned: 2
Default Parameter Value: Set to equal
module’s factory-set RF data rate.
Description
BD Command allows the user to adjust the
UART interface data rate and thus modify the rate at which
serial data is sent to the module. The new baud rate does not
take effect until the CN (Exit AT Command Mode) Command is
issued. The RF data rate is not affected by the BD Command.
Although most applications will only require one of the seven
standard baud rates, non-standard baud rates are also
supported.
Note: If the serial data rate is set to exceed the fixed RF data
rate of the module, flow control may need to be implemented
as described in the Pin Signals and Flow Control sections of this
manual.
Non-standard Interface Data Rates: When parameter values
outside the range of standard baud rates are sent, the closest
interface data rate represented by the number is stored in the
BD register. For example, a rate of 19200 bps can be set by
sending the following command line "ATBD4B00". NOTE: When
using X-CTU Software, non-standard interface data rates can
only be set and read using the X-CTU ‘Terminal’ tab. Nonstandard rates are not accessible through the ‘Modem
Configuration’ tab.
When the BD command is sent with a non-standard interface
data rate, the UART will adjust to accommodate the requested
interface rate. In most cases, the clock resolution will cause the
stored BD parameter to vary from the parameter that was sent
(refer to the table below). Reading the BD command (send
"ATBD" command without an associated parameter value) will
return the value that was actually stored to the BD register.

Mask)
Description
HP Command is used to
set the module’s hopping channel
number. A channel is one of three layers
of addressing available to the
module. In order for modules to
communicate with each other, the
modules must have the same channel
number since each network uses a
different hopping sequence. Different
channels can be used to prevent
modules in one network from listening
to transmissions of another.

HT (Time before Wake-up Initializer) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATHT
Binary Command: 0x03 (3 decimal)
Parameter Range:0 – 0xFFFF
[x 100 milliseconds]
Default Parameter Value: 0xFFFF (means
that long wake-up initializer will not be
sent)
Number of bytes returned: 2
Related Commands: LH (Wake-up
Initializer Timer), SM (Sleep Mode), ST
(Time before Sleep)
Description
If any modules within range are running
in a “CyclicSleep” setting, a wake-up initializer must be used by
the transmitting module for sleeping modules to remain awake
[refer to the LH (“Wake-up InitializerTimer”) Command]. When a
receiving module in Cyclic Sleep wakes, it must detect the
wake-up initializer in order to remain awake and
receive data. The value of HT Parameter tells the transmitter,
“After a period of inactivity (no transmitting or receiving)
lasting HT amount of time, send a long wake-up initializer”. HT
Parameter should be set to match the inactivity timeout
[specified by ST (Time before Sleep) Command]
used by the receiver(s). From the receiving module perspective,
after HT time elapses and the inactivity
timeout [ST Command] is met, the receiver goes into cyclic
sleep. In cyclic sleep, the receiver wakes once per sleep interval
to check for a wakeup initializer. When a wake-up initializer is
detected, the module will stay awake to receive data. The
wake-up initializer must be longer than the
cyclic sleep interval to ensure that sleeping modules detect
incoming data. When HT time elapses, the transmitter then
knows that it needs to send a long Wake-up Initializer for all
receivers to be able to remain awake and
receive the next transmission. Matching HT to the time
specified by ST on the receiving module guarantees that all
receivers will detect the next transmission.

Description
Set/Read the “Vendor

LH (Wake-up Initializer Timer) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATLH
Binary Command: 0x0C (12 decimal)
Parameter Range:0 – 0xFF
[x 100 milliseconds]
Default Parameter Value: 1
Number of bytes returned: 1
Related Commands: HT (Time before
Wake-up Initializer), SM (Sleep Mode), ST
(Time before Sleep)
Description
LH Command
adjusts the duration of time for which
the RF initializer is sent.
When receiving modules are put into
Cyclic Sleep Mode, they power-down
after a period of inactivity [specified by
ST (Time before Sleep) Command] and
will periodically awaken and listen
for transmitted data. In order for the
receiving modules to remain awake, they
must detect~35ms of the wake-up
initializer. LH Command must be used
whenever a receiver is operating in
Cyclic Sleep Mode. This lengthens
the Wake-up Initializer to a specific
amount of time (in tenths of a second).
The Wake-up Initializer Time must be
longer than the cyclic sleep time that is
determined by SM (Sleep Mode)
Command. If the wake-up initializer
time were less than the Cyclic Sleep
interval, the connection would be at risk
of missing the wake-up initializer
transmission. Refer to Figures 3.1 & 3.2
of the SM Command description to view
diagrams of correct and incorrect
configurations. The images help
visualize the importance that the value
of LH be greater than the value of SM.
MK (Address Mask) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATMK
Binary Command: 0x12 (18 decimal)
Parameter Range:0 – 0xFFFF
Default Parameter Value: 0xFFFF
(Destination address (DT parameter) of
the transmitting module must exactly
match the destination address of the
receiving module.)
Number of bytes returned: 2
Related Commands: DT (Destination
Address), HP (Hopping Channel), ID
(Module VID), MY (Source Address)
Description
MK Command is used to
set/read the Address Mask.
All data packets contain the Destination
Address of the transmitting module.
When an RF data packet is received, the
transmitter’s Destination Address is
logically “ANDed” (bitwise) with the
Address Mask of the receiver. The
resulting value must match the
Destination Address or the
Address Mask of the receiver for the
packet to be received and sent out the
module’s DO serial port. If the “ANDed”
value does not match either the
Destination Address or the Address
Mask of the receiver, the packet is
discarded. (All “0” values are treated as
“irrelevant” values and are ignored.)

Description
Under normal operation, a module in
Cyclic Sleep Mode cycles from an active state to a low-power
state at regular intervals until data is ready to be received. If
the PW Parameter is set to 1, SLEEP (pin 2) can be used to wake
the module from Cyclic Sleep. If the SLEEP pin
is de-asserted (low), the module will be fully operational and
will not go into Cyclic Sleep. Once SLEEP is asserted, the
module will remain active for the period of time specified by ST
(Time before Sleep) Command, and will return to Cyclic Sleep
Mode (if no data is ready to be transmitted). PW
Command is only valid if Cyclic Sleep has been enabled.
RE (Restore Defaults) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATRE
Binary Command: 0x0E (14 decimal)
Description
RE Command restores all
configurable parameters to factory
default settings. However, RE Command
will not write the default values to
non-volatile (persistent) memory. Unless
the WR (Write) Command is
issued after the RE command, the
default settings will not be saved in the
event of module reset or power-down.
RN (Delay Slots) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATRN
Binary Command: 0x19 (25 decimal)
Parameter Range:0 – 0xFF [slots]
Default Parameter Value: 0 (no delay slots
inserted)
Number of bytes returned: 1
Description
RN Command is only
applicable if retries have been
enabled [RR (Retries) Command], or if
forced delays will be inserted into
a transmission [refer to TT (Streaming
Limit) Command]. RN Command is
used to adjust the time delay that the
transmitter inserts before attempting
to resend a packet. If the transmitter
fails to receive an acknowledgement
after sending a packet, it will insert a
random number of delay slots
(ranging from 0 to (RN minus 1)) before
attempting to resend the packet.
Each delay slot lasts for a period of
38ms.
If two modules attempted to transmit at
the same time, the random time
delay after packet failure would allow
one of the two modules to transmit
the packet successfully, while the other
would wait until the channel
opens up to begin transmission.

Table 3‐03.
Description
RP Command is used to
enable a PWM (“Pulse Width Modulation”)
output on the Config pin which is
calibrated to show the level the
received RF signal is above the sensitivity
level of the module. The PWM
pulses vary from zero to 95 percent. Zero
percent means the received RF
signal is at or below the published
sensitivity level of the module. The
following
table shows levels above sensitivity and
PWM values.
The total period of the PWM output is
8.32 ms. There are 40 steps in the
PWM output and therefore the minimum
step size is 0.208 ms.
PWM Chart
dBm above Sensitivity
10
20
30
PWM percentage
(high period / total period)
47.5 %
62.5 %
77.5 %
A non-zero value defines the time that the PWM output will be active with the RSSI value of the
last received RF packet. After the set time when no RF packets are received, the PWM output will
be set low (0 percent PWM) until another RF packet is received. The PWM output will also be set
low at power-up. A parameter value of 0xFF permanently enables the PWM output and it will
always reflect the value of the last received RF packet.
PWM output shares the Config input pin. When the module is powered, the Config pin will be an
input. During the power-up sequence, the Config pin will be read to determine whether the module
is going into AT Command Mode. After this, if RP parameter is a non-zero value, the Config pin will
be configured as an output and set low until the first RF packet is received. With a non-zero RP
parameter, the Config pin will be an input for RP ms after power up.

SM Command is used to adjust
Sleep Mode settings. By default, Sleep Mode is disabled and the
module remains continually active. SM Command allows the
module to run in a lower-powerstate and be configured in one
of eight settings. Cyclic Sleep settings wake the module after
the amount of time designated
by SM Command. If the module detects a wake-up initializer
during the time it is awake, it will synchronize with the
transmitter and start receiving data after the wake-up
initializer runs its duration. Otherwise, it
returns to Sleep Mode and continue to cycle in and out of
inactivity until the Wake-up Initializer is detected. If a Cyclic
Sleep setting is chosen, the ST, LH and HT parameters must
also be set as described in the “Sleep

SY (Time before Initialization) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATSY
Binary Command: 0x17 (23 decimal)
Parameter Range:0 – 0xFF
[x 100 milliseconds]
Default Parameter Value: 0 (Disabled channel initialization information is sent
with each RF packet.)
Number of bytes returned: 1
Description
SY Command keeps a communication channel
open as long as module transmits or receives before the active
connection expires. It can be used to reduce latency in a query/
response sequence and should be set 100 ms longer than the
delay between transmissions. This command allows multiple
Modules to share a hopping channel
for a given amount of time after receiving data. By default, all
packets include an RF initializer that contains channel
information used to synchronize any listening receivers to the
transmitter’s hopping pattern. Once a new module comes
within range, it is able to instantly synchronize to the
transmitter and start receiving data. If no new modules are
introduced into the system, the synchronization information
becomes redundant once modules
have become synchronized.
SY Command allows the modules to remove this information
from the RF Initializer after the initial synchronization. For
example, changing the SY Parameter to 0x14 (20 decimal)
allows all modules to remain in sync for 2
seconds after the last data packet was received.
Synchronization information is not re-sent unless transmission
stops for more than 2 seconds. This command allows
significant savings in packet transmission time.
Warning: Not recommended for use in an interference-prone
environment. Interference can break up the session and the
communications channel will not be available again until SY
time expires. With SY set to zero, the channel session is opened
and closed with each transmission - resulting in a more robust
link with more latency.
TR (Transmit Error Count) Command
Command Summary
AT Command: ATTR
Binary Command: 0x1B (27 decimal)
Parameter Range:0 – 0xFFFF
Default Parameter Value: 0
Number of bytes returned: 2
Related Commands: RR (Retries)
Description
TR Command records the
number of retransmit failures.
This number is incremented each time a
packet is not acknowledged within
the number of retransmits specified by
the RR (Retries) Command. It
therefore counts the number of packets
that were not successfully received
and have been dropped.
The TR Parameter is not non-volatile and
will therefore be reset to zero
each time the module is reset.

Description
TT Command defines a
limit on the number of bytes that can

issued. TT Command is used to simulate
full-duplex behavior.
If a module is sending a continuous
stream of RF data, a delay is inserted
which stops its transmission and allows
other modules time to transmit
(once it sends number of bytes specified
by TT Command). Inserted random
delay lasts between 1 & ‘RN + 1’ delay
slots, where each delay slot
lasts 38 ms.
