IEEE 802.15.4 Overview
The IEEE 802.15.4 communications protocol is a low power, low data rate communications protocol.
(practically speaking, approximately 38.4 kbaud in FlexiPanel products).
Communication is single-hop between up to 65K devices. Messages may be broadcast and any node can
address any other.
Devices are allowed to sleep, but in doing so they must rely on the central coordinator to cache messages
for them, and their ability to participate in communications with other devices will be limited.
The protocol is low cost and easy to implement. It is the protocol of choice if greater complexity is not
required.
No profiles are defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Data is simply transferred as a payload in a
packet which may be up to 127 bytes, including packet addressing headers.
Each IEEE 802.15.4 device must be assigned a unique MAC address. IEEE 802.15.4 products from
FlexiPanel are pre-assigned MAC addresses. In some instances it is not possible to store a MAC address
on the product when shipped and you will need to request an allocation of MAC addresses from us.
