ZigBee/SMAC - Doubt about gMacRxOnWhenIdle_c

[UC3MZigbeeGroup]

Hello!

I have a doubt about the values that this attribute (gMacRxOnWhenIdle_c) can take.  The documentation says that it can be TRUE or FALSE but in my application it is 4.  Does it have a special meaning?  I mean, can the antenna be in more than two states?  Or does this mean just TRUE?

Thanks in advance.

Regards!

There are no states for RxOnWhenIdle.

If TRUE, the device goes to RX mode when Idle.

If FALSE, the device use polling to retrieve messages from its parent. It can sleep when idle...

some of the internal code would validate this setting by using a simply if (RxOnWhenIdle)... So if you have a value = 4, it will work in some cases, but if there is a code that uses the if (TRUE == RxOnWhenIdle), then your code won't function correctly.

I recommend you to use TRUE and FALSE values.

Hi,

Please use the standard values (TRUE/FALSE). The others are used internally for the beacon tree feature.

I hope this helps.
