8111C–MCU Wireless–09/09
Only second level filter rules as defined by IEEE 802.15.4-2006, section 7.5.6.2, are applied to
the received frame.
Table 7-8 on page 57
Table 7-8.
If the radio transceiver is in promiscuous mode, second level of filtering according to
IEEE 802.15.4-2006, section 7.5.6.2, is applied to a received frame. However, an IRQ_3
(TRX_END) is issued even if the FCS is invalid. Thus, it is necessary to read register bit
RX_CRC_VALID (register 0x06, PHY_RSSI) after IRQ_3 (TRX_END) in order to verify the
reception of a frame with a valid FCS.
If a device, operating in promiscuous mode, receives a frame with a valid FCS which further
passed the third level of filtering according to IEEE 802.15.4-2006, section 7.5.6.2, an acknowl-
edgement frame would be transmitted. According to the definition of the promiscuous mode a
received frame shall not be acknowledged, even if it is requested. Thus register bit
AACK_DIS_ACK (register 0x2E, CSMA_SEED_1) has to be set to 1.
In all receive modes an IRQ_5 (AMI) interrupt is issued, when the received frame matches the
node's address according to the filter rules described in
page 61
Alternatively, in Basic Operating Mode RX_ON state, when a valid PHR is detected, an IRQ_2
(RX_START) is generated and the frame is received. The end of the frame reception is signal-
ized with an IRQ_3 (TRX_END). At the same time the register bit RX_CRC_VALID (register
0x06, PHY_RSSI) is updated with the result of the FCS check (see
Sequence (FCS)” on page
RX_CRC_VALID bit needs to be checked in order to dismiss corrupted frames.
