DT (Destination Address)

This command applies to the XTC RF Module.

Sets or displays the networking address of a device. The devices use three filtration layers:

• Vendor ID Number (ID)
• Channel (HP)
• Destination Address (DT)

The DT command assigns an address to a device that enables it to communicate with other devices in the network. The simplest use of this command is that when MY = 0xFFFF and MK = 0xFFFF on all devices in a network, only devices with matching DT's communicate with each other.

If MY is not 0xFFFF, then DT acts as a transmit address and MY acts as a receive address. For example, you can set MY to unique values 1, 2, 3, and so forth on unique devices in the network. Then set DT on the transmitting device to match the MY of the receiving device you intend to communicate with.

Setting DT = 0xFFFF broadcasts to all devices in the network. For more information, see Addressing.
