R/W 

Used by the configuration software to place the equipment in firmware 
update mode. The equipment only accepts writing in this register if it is 
in  configuration  mode.  If  1  is  written  on  the  register  outside  the 
configuration Software, the only was to return to the operation mode is 
turning off and turning back on the device. 

0 – Standard mode 

1 – Enters in Bootloader 

mode 

R/W 

Used by the configuration software to place all the registers, minus the 
protected ones, in compliance with the factory standards. After written 
in this register it saves the configurations on the flash. Only available in 
configuration mode. 

0 – Standard mode 
1 – Places all the registers 
inn default mode 

R/W 

Used  by  the  configuration  software  to  restart  the  device.  If  it  is  in 
configuration mode, it returns to operation mode. If not, then it restarts. 
Some configurations will only be applied after the device restarts. 

0 – Standard mode 
1 – Resets the device 

R/W 

Used by the configuration software to save all the configurations on the 
device’s flash memory. If this register is not activated, the configurations 
made are saved on the FLASH, and when the device restarts, it returns to 
the previous configurations. 

0 – Standard mode

Saves 

the 

configurations 

on

FLASH 

R/W 

Shows  if  the  device  is  a  coordinator  of  the  IEEE  802.15.4  network. 
Remember that there can only be one coordinator per PAN ID. 

1 – It is the Coordinator  
0 – It is a Router 

Used  to  configure  the  product  in  one  of  the  4  operation  modes.  The 
operation modes operate as described in the chapter 

Operation Modes

0- RS485-Master 
1- RS485-Slaves 
2- USB-Master 
3- Multi-Master

R/W 

Enables and disables the device  when verifying the CRC of the package 
every time it receives packages in the RS485 or USB interface. If enabled 
can the CRC is not correct, the packet is not forwarded to the rest of the 
network.
