NH (Network Hops)

This command applies to the XBee 3 DigiMesh RF Module.

Sets or displays the maximum number of hops across the network. This parameter limits the number of hops for both unicasts and broadcasts. For example a RREQ is discarded after NH hops occur, preventing the route to a node more than NH hops away from being created. Without a route, unicasts will not work to that node. You can use this parameter to calculate the maximum network traversal time.

You must set this parameter to the same value on all nodes in the network.

If BH (Broadcast Hops) = 0, NH is used to set the maximum number of hops across the network when sending a broadcast transmission. NH is also used to set the maximum number of hops for broadcast if BH > NH.
