EC (CCA Failures) Command
<Diagnostics> The EC command is used to read
and reset the count of CCA (Clear Channel
Assessment) failures. This parameter value incre-
ments when the RF module does not transmit a
packet due to the detection of energy that is
above the CCA threshold level (set with CA com-
mand). This count saturates at its maximum
value.
Set the EC parameter to 0 to reset count.
ED (Energy Scan) Command
<Networking {Association}> The ED command is
used to 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 PARAM) * 15.36] ms.
Note: Total scan time is this time multiplied by the number of channels to be scanned. Also refer to
the SD (Scan Duration) table. Use the SC (Scan Channel) command to choose which channels to scan.
EE (AES Encryption Enable) Command
<Networking {Security}> The EE command is
used to set/read the parameter that disables/
enables 128-bit AES encryption.
The XBee/XBee-PRO firmware uses the 802.15.4
Default Security protocol and uses AES encryption
with a 128-bit key. AES encryption dictates that
all modules in the network use the same key and
the maximum RF packet size is 95 Bytes.
When encryption is enabled, the module will
always use its 64-bit long address as the source
address for RF packets. This does not affect how
the MY (Source Address), DH (Destination
Address High) and DL (Destination Address Low) parameters work
If MM (MAC Mode) > 0 and AP (API Enable) parameter > 0:
With encryption enabled and a 16-bit short address set, receiving modules will only be able to
issue RX (Receive) 64-bit indicators. This is not an issue when MM = 0.
If a module with a non-matching key detects RF data, but has an incorrect key: When encryption is
enabled, non-encrypted RF packets received will be rejected and will not be sent out the UART.
Transparent Operation --> All RF packets are sent encrypted if the key is set.
API Operation --> Receive frames use an option bit to indicate that the packet was encrypted.
FP (Force Poll) Command
<Networking (Association)> The FP command is
used to request indirect messages being held by
a Coordinator.
