Note:  These settings are individual to each module. 

DeviceMode 

Selects the operating mode for the radio:  remote, base, or PTT remote (listen mostly re-
mote). Note that the setting takes effect immediately. 

RF_DataRate 

This sets the over-the-air RF data rate. Radios with different RF rates cannot intercom-
municate. The following codes are defined: 

 
 

0x00  =  500 kb/s 

 

0x01  =  200 kb/s 

 

0x02  =  115.2 kb/s 

 

0x03  =  38.4 kb/s 

 

0xff  =  auto (default) 

 

A setting of "auto" will cause a remote to scan all 4 possible RF rates for a network to 
join. A base set to "auto" will run at the maximum rate of 500 kb/s. A change to this set-
ting on the base will trigger an epoch change to reboot the network. 

HopDuration 

This sets the duration of the hop frame. The duration is set as a 12-bit value, 
0.05 ms/count. 

InitialNwkID 

Selects the initial network ID that the radio will start (if a base) or join (if a remote). A 
value of 0xFF instructs a remote to operate in 'promiscuous mode' and join any network it 
finds (if set for a base, this will select the default network of 0x00.) The network ID also 
sets the base frequency at which the hopping pattern starts, as illustrated by the following 
equation:
