XBee / XBee-PRO RF Modules 802.15.4 Product Manual
Name and Description
Active Scan. Send Beacon Request to Broadcast
Address (0xFFFF) and Broadcast PAN (0xFFFF) on
every channel. The parameter determines the time
the radio will listen for Beacons on each channel. A
PanDescriptor is created and returned for every
Beacon received from the scan. Each PanDescriptor
contains the following information:
CoordAddress (SH, SL)<CR>
CoordPanID (ID)<CR>
CoordAddrMode <CR>
0x02 = 16-bit Short Address
0x03 = 64-bit Long Address
Channel (CH parameter) <CR>
SecurityUse<CR>
ACLEntry<CR>
SecurityFailure<CR>
SuperFrameSpec<CR> (2 bytes):
bit 15 - Association Permitted (MSB)
bit 14 - PAN Coordinator
bit 13 - Reserved
bit 12 - Battery Life Extension
bits 8-11 - Final CAP Slot
bits 4-7 - Superframe Order
bits 0-3 - Beacon Order
GtsPermit<CR>
RSSI<CR> (RSSI is returned as -dBm)
TimeStamp<CR> (3 bytes)
<CR>
A carriage return <CR> is sent at the end of the AS
command. The Active Scan is capable of returning
up to 5 PanDescriptors in a scan. The actual scan
time on each channel is measured as Time = [(2 ^SD
PARAM) * 15.36] ms. The total scan time is this time
multiplied by the number of channels to be scanned
(16 for the XBee and 13 for the XBee-PRO). Refer to
SD (Scan Duration) command
Energy Scan. Send an Energy Detect Scan. This
parameter determines the length of scan on each
channel. The maximal energy on each channel is
returned and each value is followed by a carriage
return. An additional carriage return is sent at the
end of the command. The values returned
represent the detected energy level in units of -
dBm. The actual scan time on each channel is
measured as Time = [(2 ^ED) * 15.36] ms. The total
scan time is this time multiplied by the number of
channels to be scanned. Refer to
command
on page 85.
