Description
This frame type is emitted when a device configured with legacy API output— = 2—receives an RF data
packet from a device configured to use 64-bit source addressing—MY = 0xFFFE.
Note This frame format is deprecated and should only be used by customers who require
compatibility with legacy Digi RF products. For new designs, we encourage you to use Receive Packet -
0x90 for reception of API transmissions.
