Source Address: Module or Node address from which the data packet starts (sender), composed by 2 

bytes for a maximum node capability of 65536 nodes each network editable via AT command. (It’s 
present only in net modality S10=1) 

 

Destination  Address:  2  bytes  destination  node  address.  This  address  can  be  changed  via  AT 

command. It must be forwarded on serial port before the payload. 

 

0xFF  (default)  address  means a  broadcasting  message: in this case  every  node joining  the  network 

(same network_ID) receives the message (It’s present only in net modality S10=1) 

 

Payload: from 1 to 247 bytes. When received, the message is forwarded to UART output only in case 

Network_ID  and  Destination  address  are  corresponding,  otherwise  it's  eliminated.  In  case  of 
transmission, data coming from UART port are included in payload field.  

 

Payload CRC: checksum 2 Bytes 

 
In normal TX and RX operations, it is mandatory to set up the 2 needed addresses for network functionality 
in  command  mode,  then  move  to  NORMAL  mode  and  send/receive  data  (payload)  via  UART  port.  To 
transmit a radio data packet, User must sent on UART the Destination address before the payload. Data are 
not yet encryped.

In  NORMAL  mode  no  network  (register  S10=0)  fields  NETWORK  ID,  SOURCE  ID  e  DESTINATION 
ADDRESS will not present on radio protocol and 255 bytes payload will be at disposal 

 

Picture 3:  

Data radio packet frame in NORMAL Mode  no network 

 

Note:

 By selecting spreading factor 6, the Header field is excluded. The payload must be length 15 

Byte.  This  method  is  expected  to  LORA  modulation  in  order  to  limit  flight  time  and  duty-cycle 
transmission . 
Payload of different length of 15 Byte, will be transmitted but rejected by the receiving unit.
