MAC/PHY level commands
Command
Name and description
Range
Default
ID
Network ID
. The user network identifier. Nodes must have
the same network identifier to communicate. Changes to ID
can be written to non-volatile memory using the WR
command. Only XLR PROs with matching IDs can
communicate with each other. When receiving a packet this is
checked after the preamble ID. If using OEM network IDs,
0xFFFF will use the factory value.
0-0x7FFF 0x7FFF
BR
RF Data Rate
. The rate in which RF data is transmitted. All
modes of operation will use this rate for RF data
transmission. XLR PRO radios will receive data regardless of
the BR value set. BR does not need to match on every radio on
the network.
0 = 9.38 kb/s
1 = 28.14 kb/s
2 = 65.66 kb/s
3 = 140.7 kb/s
4 = 290.8 kb/s
5 = 590.9 kb/s
6 = 1.191 Mb/s
7 = 2.392 Mb/s
8 = 3.189 Mb/s
4
PL
Power Level
. Set/Read the power level at which the XLR PRO
transmits conducted power. Power levels are approximate.
0 = 0 dBm, (1 mW)
1 = +10 dBm, (10 mW)
2 = +20 dBm, (100 mW)
3 = +27 dBm, (500 mW)
4 = +30 dBm, (1 Watt)
4
RR
Unicast Retries
. The maximum number of MAC level packet
delivery attempts for unicasts. If RR is non-zero, packets sent
from the radio will request an acknowledgment, and can be
resent up to RR times if no acknowledgments are received.
0-0xF
0xA
MT
Broadcast Multi-Transmit
. The number of additional MAC-
level broadcast transmissions. All broadcast packets are
transmitted MT+1 times to ensure it is received.
