Default Parameter Value: 4
<RF Interfacing> The PL command is used to select and read the power level at which the RF module
transmits conducted power.
When operating in Europe, XBee-PRO 802.15.4 modules must operate at or below a transmit power
output level of 10dBm. Customers have 2 choices for transmitting at or below 10dBm:
• Order the standard XBee-PRO module and change the PL command to "0" (10dBm),
• Order the Japan variant of the XBee-PRO module, which has a maximum transmit output power
of 10dBm.

PR (Pull-up Resistor) command

AT Command: ATPR
Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFF
Default Parameter Value: 0xFF
(all pull-up resistors are enabled)
Minimum Firmware Version Required: v1.x80
bit 0 - AD4/DIO4 (pin 11)
bit 1 - AD3/DIO3 (pin 17)
bit 2 - AD2/DIO2 (pin 18)
bit 3 - AD1/DIO1 (pin 19)
bit 4 - AD0/DIO0 (pin 20)
bit 5 - AD6/DIO6 (pin 16)
bit 6 - DI8 (pin 9)
bit 7 - DIN/CONFIG (pin 3)
For example: Sending the command "ATPR 6F" will turn bits 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 ON; and bits 4 and 7 will
be turned OFF. (The binary equivalent of "0x6F" is "01101111". Note that 'bit 0' is the last digit in the
bitfield.
