3. SETTING THE INTERNAL PARAMETERS OF THE WAVECARD
The internal parameters of WaveCard are declined in two categories :
parameters of control (emission power level, channel selection, etc...) carried out by specific
frame of type Request/Response. this parameters allows to modify the mode of communication
(either serial, and RF).
Functional parameters (WakeUp period, group number, etc...) carried out by the same frame of
writing of internal parameters. this parameters allows to modify the behavior of WaveCard,
according to the type of radio exchange used.
Attention, the setting parameter commands apply only to a local WaveCard, not to a distant one.
3.1- Configuration of the functional parameters
The functional parameters are directly related to the default operation of WaveCard, and to the types of radio
exchanges used. I.e. according to the type of radio exchange which will be used, the functional parameters
will have to be initialized.
Default values are set at the first initialization of the product.

AWAKENING_PERIOD :
polling period of RF medium
radio, in multiples of 100ms
Period in multiples of 100ms
(by default, 0x0A for one second)
0 = quasi-permanent reception (every 20ms)
1
0x01
WAKEUP_TYPE :
Wake Up type used during a frame
emission
0 : long Wake Up (default setting)
1 : short Wake Up = 50 ms
1
0x02
WAKEUP_LENGTH : duration of the Wake up when
long wake up is set up.
This value must be higher than the polling period of RF
medium radio.
Value in multiples of 1ms, defined LSB first
Default value : 1100 ms
min value = 20 ms (0x1400)
max value = 10 sec. (0x1027)

0x03
WAVECARD_POLLING_GROUP
: Byte containing the
Polling Group of the Wavecard.
Byte 1 : Polling_Group
by default, Polling_Group = 0x00
1
0x04
RADIO_ACKNOWLEDGE :
indicates if the radio frames
must be acknowledged by the receiver.
0 : no acknowledge (default value)
1 : acknowledge used
1
0x05
RADIO_ADDRESS : radio board address
This Value is issue from the manufacturing.

0x06
RELAY_ROUTE_STATUS
: Parameter relative to Relay
route transmission in each relayed frame received
0x00 : Relay route transmisson deactivated
0x01 : Relay route transmission activated
by default, Relay route transmisson deactivated
1
0x07
RELAY_ROUTE : Table containing the radio addresses
for successive repeaters to use to reach the final
equipment.
BYTE 1 : number of repeaters in the route
Maximum repeater number = 3
Si BYTE 1 != 0
BYTES 2 à 7 : First repeater radio address
…, and so on.
