Idle mode
When not receiving or transmitting data, the XBee3 802.15.4 RF Module is in Idle mode. During Idle
mode, the device listens for valid data on both the RF and serial ports.
If configured for Sleep support, the XBee3 802.15.4 RF Module only transitions to a low power state
when in Idle mode.
Transmit mode
Transmit mode is the mode in which the device is transmitting data. This typically happens after data
is received from the serial port.
Receive mode
This is the default mode for the XBee3 802.15.4 RF Module. The device is in Receive mode when it is
not transmitting data. If a destination node receives a valid RF packet, the destination node transfers
the data to its serial transmit buffer.
