From this panel, the following commands are available:

PLME_SET.Request: to set PHY layer transmission parameters

PLME_GET.Request: to get parameters related to the latest received packet

PLME_SET.Confirm: forces generation of a confirm message (if automatic event is

The following transmission options are available in the panel:

ToneMap: bitmap containing the list of the active sub bands (bit set to 1) or inactive (bit
set to zero). Active means that data are transmitted in that sub-band, inactive means
that dummy data are transmitted. The 6 less significant bits are only considered.

ToneMask: bitmap containing the list of the active carriers (bit set to 1) or inactive (bit
set to zero). Active means that the carrier has energy (transport data or dummy bit),
inactive means that the carrier has no energy.

DT: delimiter type
–
NO_RESP: start of the frame with no response expected
– RESP_EXP: start of the frame with response expected
– ACK: positive acknowledgment
– NACK: negative acknowledgment
