Chapter 2. Command Reference
The RN2483 LoRa technology module supports a variety of commands for
configuration. This section describes these commands in detail and provides
examples.
2.1
COMMAND SYNTAX
To issue commands to the RN2483 module, the user sends keywords followed by
optional parameters. Commands (keywords) are case-sensitive, and spaces must not
be used in parameters. Hex input data can be uppercase or lowercase. String text data,
such as
OTAA
used for the join procedure, can be uppercase or lowercase.
The use of shorthand for parameters is
NOT
supported.
Depending on the command, the parameter may expect values in either decimal or
hexadecimal form; refer to the command description for the expected form. For
example, when configuring the frequency, the command expects a decimal value in
Hertz such as
868100000
(868.1 MHz). Alternatively, when configuring the LoRaWAN
device address, the hex value is entered into the parameter as
aabbccdd
. To enter a
number in hex form, use the value directly. For example, the hex value
0xFF
would be
entered as
FF
.
