Note
When you set
SC
to
0xFFFF
on the device, Channel 26 is not allowed to transmit at more than 3
dBm. If Channel 26 is present in the search mask (
SC
), active search (beaconing) for network
formation by a Coordinator is limited to no more than 3 dBm on all channels.
Other communication by a Coordinator/Router/EndDevice, or active search for network joining
(association) by Routers and End Devices is limited to no more than 3 dBm on Channel 26.
PL
and
PM
configuration settings control the transmit power on other channels.
n
For the XBee-PRO SMT module, Channel 26 is not allowed to transmit at more than 6 dBm.
n
For the XBee-PRO TH module, Channel 26 is not allowed to transmit at more than 2 dBm.
Default
0x7FFF
SD (Scan Duration)
Sets or reads the scan duration exponent. Write changes to
SD
using the
WR
command.
Note
If you enable channel 26 (0x8000) in the search channel mask (
SC
), the device caps transmit
power on all channels at 3 dBm during network formation or joining.
Coordinator
- Duration of the Active and Energy Scans (on each channel) used to determine an
acceptable channel and PAN ID for the coordinator to startup on.
Router/End Device
- Duration of Active Scan (on each channel) used to locate an available
coordinator/router to join during Association.
Scan Time is measured as:
([# of channels to scan] * (2 ^
SD
) * 15.36 ms) + (38 ms * [# of channels to scan]) + 20 ms
Use the
SC
(Scan Channels) command to set the number of channels to scan. The XBee can scan up to
16 channels (
SC
= 0xFFFF). The XBee-PRO can scan up to 13 channels (
SC
= 0x1FFE).
