Receive All
Receive all mode is used as a diagnostic mode in which a transceiver can
listen to and receive all of the messages from any device that is
communicating on the same PAN ID and RF channel. Messages with long
and short addressing types will be received, and when a message is
received it is sent out the host serial port with a message type of 0xA9. In
receive all mode it is not possible to transmit messages to other transceivers.
Addressing Modes Summary
The table below gives an overview of the addressing modes that are
available in the FreeStar module. The table shows a summary of what
happens when messages are sent between two modules (Transceiver A and
Transceiver B) using the various addressing modes (short and long), and
also broadcasts.
The first column “Host Send Mode” lists what type of message the host
would send to the FreeStar module into transceiver A. The “Addressing
Mode” columns show what type of address (short or long) each transceiver is
configured to use. Upon transceiver A receiving the message from the host
device, transceiver A would then send a message over the RF link to
transceiver B using the type of address shown in the first column. If
transceiver B successfully receives the RF message from transceiver A, then
a host message is generated that will be sent from transceiver B to the host
connected to transceiver B. The messages that get generated will have the
source and destination addresses contained in it which are shown in the
table under the “Host Receive Mode” columns. A dash (-) denotes that a
message was not received by the transceiver because the destination
address for transceiver B was not the same type (short or long) as the
destination address type to which the message was sent (shown in the first
column). It is assumed that the destination address to whom the message is
being sent is the same as that address for which the receiving transceiver is
configured to use.
