Getting started

Connecting devices

Configuring devices

Before doing any configurations you should identify every device by getting their addresses using command GetDeviceAddress(). Once you know the addresses of all of your devices you can then start configuring them. The order in which you configure which device is generally not important. For the later examples we will assume that we have a router and two node devices with addresses 0x01234567, 0x11111111 and 0x22222222 respectively.

Configuring Router

Router configuration consists of:

RF configuration, managed by command SetRFSettings [Optional if you want to use the default or previously saved configuration]
Node configuration, managed by commands AddNode, DeleteNode and ClearNodes
Saving configuration to non-volatile memory using command SaveSettings [Optional]

It is important and somewhat trivial to note that when setting RF configuration frequency, datarate, modulation, frequency deviation, network ID and AES key should be the same for all routers and nodes that are in the same network.

Example:

SetRFSettings(868000000, 1000, 0x41, 15000, 11, 0, 4, 1000, [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 0x072394)
ClearNodes()
AddNode(0x11111111)
AddNode(0x22222222)
SaveSettings()

Configuring Node

Node configuration consists of:

RF configuration, managed by command SetRFSettings [Optional if you want to use the default or previously saved configuration]
System operation settings, set by command SetSystemSettings
Router configuration, managed by command SetRouter
Saving configuration to non-volatile memory using command SaveSettings [Optional]

Example:

SetRFSettings(868000000, 1000, 0x41, 15000, 11, 0, 4, 1000, [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 0x072394)
SetRouter(0x01234567)
SetSystemSettings(3000, 57)
SaveSettings()

Testing connection

Connection can be tested from either side by using Ping command.

Example:
When testing from router: Ping(0x11111111)
When testing from node: Ping(0x01234567)

Adding new node

If after some time you want to add an additional node (with address 0x33333333) to your existing network all you have to do is:

Configure node with current network configuration (frequency, datarate, AES key, etc…)
Add a node (address) entry to the router

Example:
For node:

SetRFSettings(868000000, 1000, 0x41, 15000, 7, 0, 9, 1000, [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 0xC4)
SetRouter(0x01234567)
SetSystemSettings(1000, 0)
SaveSettings()

For router:

AddNode(0x33333333)
