TO (Transmit Options)

This command applies to the XBee 3 Zigbee RF Module.

A bitfield that configures the advanced options used for outgoing data transmissions from a device operating in Transparent mode (AP = 0).

When operating in API mode, if the Transmit Options field in the API frame is 0, the TO parameter value will be used instead.

Sending a unicast message with MAC ACKs disabled is not intended to be a reliable form of communication, as no ACKs are produced by recipients.

Parameter range

Bit field:

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

4 Send data securely—requires secure session be established with destination. Enabling this bit will reduce maximum payload size by 4 bytes.
5

Enable APS end-to-end encryption (if EE = 1). Enabling this bit will reduce the maximum payload size by 9 bytes.

6 Use extended timeout.
