Basic communications

Basic communications includes two sub-types:

• Broadcast. By default, the XTC RF Modules communicate through Broadcast communications and within a peer-to-peer network topology. When any device transmits, all other devices within range receive the data and pass it directly to their host device.
• Addressed. If addressing parameters match, the device forwards the RF data it receives to the DOUT buffer; otherwise, it discards the RF data.

When using Basic communications, the integrator handles any functions, such as acknowledgments, at the application layer. The Broadcast modes provide transparent communications, meaning that the RF link replaces a wired link.
