Note: The Laird Configuration Utility automatically programs the mode (point-to-point or point-to-
multipoint) based on the radio’s current settings:
If the Destination Address field is set to a value other than FF FF FF FF FF FF, the radio sends data
only to the radio with the MAC specified in the Destination Address field (point-to-point).
If the Destination Address field is set to FF FF FF FF FF FF on a client radio, it is set to Auto
Destination mode, where the destination address is determined by the MAC address of the radio
from which the client received its last data packet (if both server and client have their Destination
Address field set to all FF, the client addresses all packets to the server only) (point-to-point).
If the Destination Address field is set to FF FF FF FF FF FF on a server radio, it is set to Broadcast
mode and transmits to all in-range clients with the same System ID and RF Channel as the server
(point-to-multipoint).
