[Tinyos-help] Maximum number of nodes.

[Giri Baleri]

Xlisten is just a software tool that decodes the packets coming in
through the MIB gateway connected to a PC and displays it to the user.
Xlisten has no limitation on number of nodes it can display. However,
the limitation is posed by the serial port speed and the ability of the
TOSBase app to forward the packets coming in from multiple remote Motes.
 
Xlisten can only display data from nodes programmed with XSensor apps.
XSensor apps by definition are single hop apps and hence if you have a
multihop app running on Motes (eg. Surge_reliable or XMesh), xlisten
won't be able to display that data. For multihop apps, you need to use
XServe tool.

Hi All,
 
Currently I am running xlisten with one base node and 3 sensor nodes
(mica2 315mhz). What will be the maximum number of nodes I can use with
xlisten? 
 
What is the maximum transmitting distance of a node to the base station?
 
Does the scalibility thingy work with xlisten, cause in the getting
started guide, it is stated that xlisten is not a sensor network
program, but in the xlisten.c comments, it is stated that packets can be
parsed by using the -w option... what does this mean? 
 
Could someone please help me?
 
Thanks.
 
Regards,
S.Sundaresh.
