You can choose to use this identifier as an address, but it does not mean that you have to. If you use an address like this: {0xc4, 0xc5, 0xc6, 0xc7, 0xc8}, the first byte going over the air will be the 0xc8.

I see. So somewhere out in the world there will potentially be 252 units that simply don't work with Gazelle.

And just to be completely clear, the first byte over-the-air is the one found in InfoPage address 0x0B?

Hi Ed,

The first byte going over-the-air (which is the LSByte inputted) will not be 0x00/0xFF/0xAA/0x55. The rest of the content is randomized, which means that you can get into a situation where all bytes are equal (all 0x37 for instance). The chance for this is very low.

Cheers, Håkon
