CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1352R1: Newbie questions regarding FH

Hello,

See below my answers in RED.

1. How many network devices are supported (e.g. for CC1310 or CC1352R1) because I read something about 50 neighbours max.?
   1. If using a 1310 as the collector device with security enabled, you have a maximum of 50 devices connected to it
   2. If using a cc1312 as the collector device with security enabled you have ~150 devices connected to it
2. We currently use (beacon mode) extended address format if data messages are send from sensor to collector, is this still possible?
   1. Yes, this is possible.  You will need to change addessing mode to extended when sending the msg.
3. For sleepy devices we need "unicast" and fixed channels to save power, is this correct? Where can I set this in config.h or is this set automatically if "RxOnIdle = 0" is detected?
   1. If using FH mode, this will automatically make the device stay in one channel and wake up at a set interval, if using Beacon mode every device will be on the same channel.
4. What exactly is a hopping neighbor? (sensor to sensor or sensor to collector?)
   1. by definition both, but in our stack and the way is developed it will allow sensors to hear and save configuration messages sent by neighbors (sensors or collectors) you could potentially also listen to regular data frames from sensor to sensor but you will need to develop this functionality
