Test Mode – When pulled logic Low and then applying power or resetting, the

 

Test / Sleep Int.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

transceiver’s serial interface is forced to a 9600, 8-N-1 rate. To exit Test mode,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the transceiver must be reset or power-cycled with Test Mode pulled logic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High or disconnected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: Because this mode disables some modes of operation, it should not be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

permanently pulled Low during normal operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sleep mode interrupt - When logic Low, forces End Device to wake up from

In Range

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

assigned a 16-bit Network Address. The Coordinator will report In Range after

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

selecting a clear channel to operate.
