Sleep pin.  There are three modes for the escape sequence, controlled by the 

Set Escape 

Sequence Mode

 command, 

zc

: 

 
 

zc = 0   

Escape sequence disabled 

 

zc = 1   

Escape sequence available once at startup  

 

zc = 2   

Escape sequence available at any time (default setting) 

 
The 

zc2

 mode setting is useful if the user application has a need to change the modem 

settings "on the fly".  In this mode the escape sequence is always enabled and may be 
sent at any time after a pause of at least 20ms.  The modem will respond in the same way 
as when in the default mode.  It is necessary to issue the 

Exit Modem Control Mode

 

command, 

z>

, before resuming data transmission.   

Note: The escape sequence must be interpreted as data until the last character is received 

and as such may be transmitted by the modem to any listening modems. 

 

2.3.2.  Power Down Mode 

 
To save power consumption for intermittent transmit applications, the WIT2450 supports 
a Power Down Mode.  Power Down Mode enables the user to achieve exceptionally low 
current consumption (typically less than 1 uA) in non-active units. Pin number 14 
(fourteen) is a device input, a low voltage on this pin (0-Vdc to 1-Vdc) puts the device in 
power down. A high voltage on this pin (3.3-Vdc to 5Vdc) puts the device in normal 
operating condition.  This mode allows the radio to be powered off while the terminal 
device remains powered.  After leaving Power Down Mode, the radio must re-
synchronize with the base station and re-register.   

Note: This pin cannot be left unconnected.  

If Power Down  is not needed, this pin must be tied to 3.3v. 

 
2.3.3.  RF Flow Control Mode 

 
Because of slight differences in baud rates between transmitting and receiving hosts, 
when sending large amounts of data (100’s of KB) in one direction in a point-to-point 
application, it is possible to overrun the receive buffer of the receiving radio.  For 
example a nominal 115.2Kbaud at the transmitting radio’s host might really be 115,201 
and at the receiving radio’s host it might be 115,199.  This is similar to a situation where 
the transmitting radio is sent data at a higher baud rate than the baud rate at which data is 
received by the receiving host.  To compensate for the variations in nominal baud rates, 
the WIT2450 supports an RF flow control mode for point-to-point operation.  In this 
mode, when the receive buffer of the receiving WIT2450 is close to full, the receiving 
WIT2450 stops acknowledging transmissions.  The transmitting radio is set to infinite 
retries which invokes the RF flow control mode (See 

Set Packet Attempts Limit

 in Section 

5.3).  The receiving radio will not begin acknowledging transmissions from the 
transmitting radio until more room in the receive buffer has become available.  This will 
cause data in the transmit buffer of the transmitting radio to back up.  If it backs up to the 
point where the transmit buffer fills up, the transmitting radio will deassert CTS stopping 
data from the transmitting radio’s host device.  Once room is available in the receiving
