F0F0H.

There are three different ways that Module A can receive packets from other modules.

1) This module could receive packets from other modules with a Transmitter Module

Address of 00FFH.

2) Since the Receiver Module Address Mask is set to F0F0H, logically “

with the Receiver Module Address yields “0XFX” (HEX) where the ‘X’ values can be

anything. Thus, by setting the Module Address Mask to F0F0H, this module could

receive packets from any module with a “0XFX” Module Address.

3) The module can also receive packets from any module with a Module Address that

matches the Module Address Mask of the module (F0F0H). However, since the Module

Address Mask of Module A (in this example) contains two ‘0’ values, these are don’t

care values. Hence, Module A could receive packets from any module having a

Transmitter Module Address (Global Address) of “FXFX”.
