16-bit address

Unlike 64-bit addressing, with 16-bit addressing, each XBee device can be assigned a 16-bit address. The addresses are shorter but uniqueness is not guaranteed because more than one module can have the same 16-bit address.

The value of the 16-bit address can be read or set through the 16-bit Source Address (MY) parameter. If the value of this parameter is FFFF, the XBee device disables the reception of packets with 16-bit addresses.
