6.0 Configuration
The most effective way to put
an entire network into sleep/
sniff mode is by turning off, or
putting into command mode,
the Master modem.
Values
S149
LED Brightness
This is a power saving feature which controls the
current available to LEDs such that they operate with
from 0% (off) to 100% available brightness.
It is recommend to set S149 to 100 for testing in a shop
environment, and then reduce the value as required
when deploying in the field where power consumption
may be of concern.

Sync Mode
0
normal sync
1
quick sync mode, wait
for acknowledgement
2
quick sync mode, wait
for timeout
This setting applies only to the Master modem. S150
dictates which sync mode the Master will use when it
initially goes online. Quick sync mode results in the
Master hopping very quickly, which will enable a
downstream unit to become synchronized faster.
A setting of 1 applies only in a point-to-point (PTP) configuration: the Master will stay
in quick sync mode until such time as it receives an acknowledgement from its
associated Slave, it will then remain hopping quickly for the number of hop intervals
(8-255) defined by S152 (Fast Sync Hold on Ack), after which time it will go into
normal sync mode.
A value of 2 results in the Master going into quick sync mode when it initially comes
online and then remaining in that mode for the duration specified in S151 (fast sync
timeout) and then return to normal sync mode.

This register settings applies only to a Master modem.
Effective only when S150=2.
Defines how long, in milliseconds, a Master modem will
stay in fast sync mode after it initially goes online.
Value
S153
Address Tag
0 disable
1 enable
If enabled, the modem prepends 4 extra bytes to the
data: first byte = 0x00, second = 0xFF, third = source
unit address (high byte), fourth = source unit address
(low byte).
