SC (Scan Channels)

This command applies to the XBee 3 Zigbee RF Module.

The channels used when an active scan is performed by the local device.

An active scan is performed any time a network is formed or prior to a join attempt. You can force an active scan by issuing an AS command.

Changing SC after network association may cause the device to leave the network if the operating channel (CH) is excluded from the SC mask.

Parameter range

0 - 0xFFFF (bit field)

Bit field mask:

Bit	IEEE 802.15.4 Channel	Frequency (GHz)
0	11 (0x0B)	2.405
1	12 (0x0C)	2.410
2	13 (0x0D)	2.415
3	14 (0x0E)	2.420
4	15 (0x0F)	2.425
5	16 (0x10)	2.430
6	17 (0x11)	2.435
7	18 (0x12)	2.440
8	19 (0x13)	2.445
9	20 (0x14)	2.450
10	21 (0x15)	2.455
11	22 (0x16)	2.460

13	24 (0x18)	2.470
14	25 (0x19)	2.475
15	26 (0x1A)	2.480

Note Avoid channel 26 if possible, as the output power is capped at +8 dBm on the Pro variant.

Default

0x7FFF (channels 11 through 25)
