This register contains the total number of frames the radio
received by unassured (broadcast) delivery.
Valid Range: 0..65535
S70, S90
Tx Broadcast Frames
Diagnostic
(read only)
This register contains the total number of frames sent by the
radio via unassured (broadcast) delivery.
Valid Range: 0..65535
S71, S91
Tx Dropped Frames
Diagnostic
(read only)
This register contains the total number of frames that had
been discarded by the radio during transmission.
Occurs when a synchronization frame could not be allocated
or on a failed attempt to synchronize this radio with the
intended recipient radio.
Valid Range: 0..65535
S72, S92
Rx Response Frames
Diagnostic
(read only)
This register contains the total number of ‘request for sync’
frames that had been received by the radio during
transmission.
Valid Range: 0..65535
S73, S93
Max. Tx Retries
Diagnostic
(read only)
This register is used as a “high-water” marker for measuring
the maximum number of transmission retries encountered by
the radio since power up.
Valid Range: 0..49
S74..S79
S94..S98
Reserved
S99
Test Mode
(read/write)
Writing to this register causes the radio to immediately enter
into a test mode. (See table 3, Test Mode Summary below).
Default: 0 (OFF)
NOTE: This mode is intended for internal use only
S100..S127 Reserved

Configuration Register Notes:
•
All values will be displayed as printable decimal ASCII characters (i.e. the value 45D (0x2d)
will be displayed and entered as 0x34, 0x35).
•
S-registers 60 – 73 and 80 – 93 are diagnostic counters, which are set to zero upon power up
only. Prolonged use of the radio equipment will eventually result in the overflow of some of
these counters, which will wrap them back to zero. As a result, the relationship between these
counters, as detailed in the discussion below, will not be preserved.
•
S-registers 60 – 73 are implemented by the network master radio and repeater units as
diagnostic counters used to monitor communication in the “downstream” (repeater/slave’s)
direction. Whereas slave radio units use these diagnostics to monitor communication in the
“upstream” (master’s) direction
•
S-registers 80 – 93 are implemented in repeater radio units alone and are the diagnostic counters
used to monitor communication in the “upstream” (master’s) direction only.
