The allocate address sub-field is one bit in length and shall be set to 0 or 1.
The alternate PAN coordinator sub-field is one bit in length and shall be set to 1 if this node is capable of becoming a PAN coordinator. Otherwise, the alternative PAN coordinator sub-field shall be set to 0.
The device type sub-field is one bit in length and shall be set to 1 if this node is a full function device (FFD). Otherwise, the device type sub-field shall be set to 0, indicating a reduced function device (RFD).
The power source sub-field is one bit in length and shall be set to 1 if the current power source is mains power. Otherwise, the power source sub-field shall be set to 0. This information is derived from the node current power source field of the node power descriptor.
The receiver on when idle sub-field is one bit in length and shall be set to 1 if the device does not disable its receiver to conserve power during idle periods. Otherwise, the receiver on when idle sub-field shall be set to 0 (see also section 2.3.2.4.)
The security capability sub-field is one bit in length and shall be set to 1 if the device is capable of sending and receiving frames secured using the security suite specified in [B1]. Otherwise, the security capability sub-field shall be set to 0.
