Questions:
- When the baud rate register is changed with WRITE_DATA, do you send the response packet back using the old baud rate, or the new one?
- When the device ID is changed with WRITE_DATA, is the response packet sent back with the old ID, or the new ID?
The way I have my code implemented now, in both cases it uses the new value for the response packet.
It would be fairly simple to switch the order of updating the control table versus writing the response packet if both of these should be the other way around.
Thoughts?

Jon,
In the AX-12 manual in the change ID example (page 19 at the bottom, page 20 top) it states that the new ID is sent on a broadcast address and no status packet is returned, so I think that when an ID is changed no status packet is expected.
Also they have an example of a baud rate change example on page 24. It does show a return packet but I haven't really taken it apart to see what it does.
Not sure if this will help
