will send a DL_DATA_request command. This will result in a DL_DATA_confirm
from the InvenStack on the sending radio. This DL_DATA_confirm on the sending
radio will indicate if the message was successfully transmitted. If AckMode is set to
ACK_MONITORING (on) in the DL_DATA_request message, then a success in that
confirm indicates that the RF ACK was received from the intended recipient of the
message. The message contains the sample Lsdu data 01 02 03 04 05. All radios
within range will receive the message. On all those with Filter Type NONE an
Indication will result. On all those with Filter Type PAN ID, an Indication will result if
the radios’ PanID matches that in the message (0x0001). On all those with Filter
Type set to LOCAL ADDR, and Indication will result if the radios’ LocalAddress
matches that in the message (0x02). On all those with Filter Type PAN AND
LOCAL, an Indication will result only if both the PanID and LocalAddress of the
radio matches the message. Regardless of the filter setting, an ACK will be
generated by the receiving radio if and only if both the PanID and LocalAddress in
