  • Page 30: Peer-To-Peer Networks

    Networks Peer-to-peer networks By default, XBee/XBee-PRO S1 802.15.4 (Legacy) modules are configured to operate within a peer-to- peer network topology and therefore are not dependent upon master/slave relationships. This means that devices remain synchronized without the use of master/server configurations and each device in the network shares both roles of master and slave.

    (Destination Address High) parameter to '0.' Unicast mode By default, the XBee/XBee-PRO S1 802.15.4 (Legacy) operates in Unicast mode. Unicast Mode is the only mode that supports retries. While in this mode, receiving devices send an ACK (acknowledgment) of RF packet reception to the transmitter. If the transmitting device does not receive the ACK, it re- sends the packet up to three times or until it receives the ACK.

    This value does not need to be set on all devices for retries to work.

  • Page 86: Api Operation

    API operation By default, XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules act as a serial line replacement (Transparent Operation). All UART data received through the DI pin is queued up for RF transmission. When the module receives an RF packet, it sends the data out the DO pin with no additional information.

    For more information on using this API mode, refer to the following knowledge base article: http://knowledge.digi.com/articles/Knowledge_Base_Article/Escaped-Characters-and-API-Mode-2 The following table shows the structure of an API frame with escaped characters: Frame fields Byte Description Start delimiter 1 0x7E XBee/XBee-PRO S1 802.15.4 (Legacy) User Guide...

    2. If the checksum is correct, the last two digits on the far right of the sum equal 0xFF. Example Consider the following sample data packet: 7E 00 0A 01 01 50 01 00 48 65 6C 6C 6F B8 Byte(s) Description Start delimeter 00 0A Length bytes XBee/XBee-PRO S1 802.15.4 (Legacy) User Guide...

    Subtract 0x47 from 0xFF and you get 0xB8 (0xFF - 0x47 = 0xB8). 0xB8 is the checksum for this data packet. If an API data packet is composed with an incorrect checksum, the XBee/XBee-PRO S1 802.15.4 (Legacy) will consider the packet invalid and will ignore the data.
