ForceDiscoverRegister
- a write to this register, typically using a broadcasted
Set Remote Register
com-
mand, will force a heartbeat reply if a device's parent has the specified base-mode network ID (or 0xFF
wildcard), and the least significant byte of the device’s MAC address is within a specified min/max range.
The payload consists of 3 bytes: NWKID (NN), minimum MAC address (LL), and maximum MAC address
(XX). In Little Endian hexadecimal format this would appear as “XXLLNN”.
DiagPortEn
- setting this parameter to 0x01 enables diagnostic port operation.
7.5 Protocol-formatted Message Examples
7.5.1 Data Message
In this example, the ASCII text
“Hello”
is sent from the base to a remote using the
TxData
command.
The MAC address of the remote is 0x123456. The protocol formatting for the host message is:
SOP
Length
PktType
Lo MAC
MAC
Hi MAC
“H”
“e”
“l”
“l”
“o”
0xFB
0x09
0x05
0x56
0x34
0x12
0x48
0x65
0x6C
0x6C
0x6F
There are 9 bytes following the length byte, so the length byte is set to 0x09. Note that the 0x123456
network address is entered in Little-Endian byte order, 56 34 12. When an ACK to this message is re-
ceived from the remote, the base outputs a
TxDataReply
message to its host:
SOP
Length
PktType
Lo MAC
MAC
Hi MAC
Status
RSSI
0xFB
0x07
0x15
0x56
0x34
0x12
0x00
0xB0
The 0x00
TxStatus
byte value indicates the ACK reception from the remote. The
RSSI
value of the re-
ceived ACK is 0xB0, indicating a received signal strength of approximately -80 dBm .
The ASCII
“Hello”
message is output at the remote as a 0x26
RxData
event. The address field contains
the originator’s address, 0x00 0x00 0x00, which is the base. The
RSSI
value of the received message is
0xB4, indicating a received signal strength of approximately -76 dBm. The data following the RSSI value
is the
“Hello”
text.

Note that if the remote was in transparent mode, only the
“Hello”
text would be output.
