To acheive optimal performance with clients, it is best to set the destination address of clients to correspond to the Coordinator address. This can be performed in the Digi XCTU software. If this is not set, latency on received packets can occur as routers route around packets. Additionally, other clients can receive the terminal outputs from other clients, which is undesireable. Not setting clients in this mode can put the clients into a recursive broadcast message sending pattern due to the way their attached terminals operate, that results in undesired operation.

The baud rate of the serial connection on client radio modems can differ, but you should set the baud rate of the coordinator serial connection to be the fastest of all the client speeds for best results.
