DC (Joining Device Controls)

This command applies to the XBee 3 Zigbee RF Module.

A bitfield that contains advanced joining device controls that do not have dedicated AT commands. These options only apply to joining devices (CE=0).

Leave unused bits clear so future device controls are not inadvertently enabled during a firmware update.

Bit field:

Unused bits must be set to 0. These bits may be logically OR'ed together:

Bit Description
0

Generate a preconfigured link key using device's install code (KY is ignored). Enabling this option requires the joining device be registered to the trust center.

1 Ignore NWK leave requests after joining.
2 Enable verbose join information.
3 Join network with best response (strongest signal) instead of first responder.
4

Reserved

5

An orphaned router will not leave the network but will attempt to rejoin the coordinator indefinitely. This functionality also requires the network watchdog to be enabled (NW > 0).

6

A router or sleeping end device that receives a many-to-one-route-request (MTORR) sends a unicast back to the aggregator so that it can send a unicast back to that device using a source route.

Note This unicast is randomized over the NT parameter.
