MD (RF Mode)

This command applies to the XTC RF Module.

Sets or displays the settings that enable the Polling and Repeater modes on the device.

Polling Mode: a Polling Base is responsible for polling remotes. A Polling Remote requires a poll from a Polling Base in order to transmit.

Repeater Mode: a Repeater re-sends RF data unless the transmission is addressed to it or if it has already detected the transmission. A Repeater End Node handles repeated messages, but will not repeat the message over-the-air.
