The multi-core transceivers (e.g., RF215) also supports Channel Page 9. Table 2-2 shows the configuration options available for Channel Page 9.

TX Power

3dBm (depends on transceiver)

Transceiver transmit power value in dBm
TX Power RegTransceiver transmit power register value
Test frame count100Set number of frames to transmit
Frame length20Set length of frames
Peer CRCDisabled

Enable/Disable manual CRC for frames to count packets received with wrong CRC. If enabled then Auto CRC is going to be disable

Antenna diversityEnabled
Selects transceiver antenna diversity. Selections are:

TRX State Trx_OFF
Enables measurements of power consumption in various transceiver states. Selections are:
Value
Reset
Trx_OFF
PLL_ON
RX
DesensitivityDisabled

Sets if receiver should be desensitized. This would lead to that frames with a lower RSSI than the threshold are discarded.
