The broadcast radius can be set from 0 up to NH. If set to 0, the value of NH specifies the broadcast radius
(recommended). This parameter is only used for broadcast transmissions.
The maximum number of payload bytes can be read with the NP command.
Note: if source routing is used, the RF payload will be reduced by two bytes per intermediate hop in the source
route. This example shows if escaping is disabled (AP=1).
Example: The example above shows how to send a transmission to a module where escaping is
disabled (AP=1) with destination address 0x0013A200 40014011, payload "TxData1B". If
escaping is enabled (AP=2), the frame should look like:

Frame-specific Data Frame Type 30x10
Frame ID 40x01
Identifies the UART data frame for the host to correlate
with a subsequent ACK (acknowledgement). If set to 0,
no response is sent.
64-bit Destination
Address
MSB 5 0x00
Set to the 64-bit address of the destination device. The
following addresses are also supported:
0x0000000000000000 - Reserved 64-bit address for the
coordinator
0x000000000000FFFF - Broadcast address

16-bit Destination
Network Address
MSB 13 0xFF Set to the 16-bit address of the destination device, if
known. Set to 0xFFFE if the address is unknown, or if
sending a broadcast.
LSB 14 0xFE
Broadcast Radius 15 0x00
Sets maximum number of hops a
broadcast transmission can occur.
If set to 0, the broadcast radius will
be set to the maximum hops value.
Options 16 0x00
Bitfield of supported transmission options. Supported
values include the following:
0x01 - Disable ACK
0x20 - Enable APS encryption (if EE=1)
0x40 - Use the extended transmission timeout for this
destination
Enabling APS encryption decreases the maximum
number of RF payload bytes by 4 (below the value
reported by NP).
Setting the extended timeout bit causes the stack to set
the extended transmission timeout for the destination
address. (See chapter 4.)
All unused and unsupported bits must be set to 0.
