Module Configuration

Module configuration settings may be changed in-circuit from a host MCU during operation, at the time
of installation of the equipment, at the manufacturing test, or as wireless configuration commands issued
by the Gateway device in a live mesh network.

Configuration Commands

Tinymesh™ modules may be configured during normal operation in an operating mesh network, by
using the

SET CONFIGURATION COMMAND.

Routers as well as Gateway Devices may be configured

using this method.

RF CHANNEL

,

RF DATA RATE

,

UNIQUE_ID

and

SYSTEM_ID

may be changed by the

SET

CONFIGURATION COMMAND

while the

SYSTEM_ID

is set to the factory default value (0 0 0 1).

After the

SYSTEM_ID

has been changed to a value different from the default setting, the above

parameters will be locked for configuration, to avoid losing contact with an operating module in a live
network.

It is possible to override the configuration locking

10

by setting the

CONFIGURATION LOCK OVERRIDE

= 1.
After setting the desired parameters, it is advisable to reset the

CONFIGURATION LOCK OVERRIDE

parameter to its default setting = 0.

Gateway Devices in

PACKET MODE OPERATION

may be forced to enter

CONFIGURATION MODE

by

issuing a

SET GATEWAY IN CONFIG MODE

command over the UART, as an alternate means to

asserting the

CONFIG

input low.

Configuration Mode

Tinymesh™ modules will enter Configuration Mode by pulling the

CONFIG

pin low, for direct UART

configuration of the module. The Configuration Mode allows a local MCU full control for reconfiguration
on the fly, and is highly useful for system development and test.
In Configuration Mode, the module will signal response to commands by sending a ‘>’ prompt on the
TXD pin. The prompt indicates that the module is ready to receive new commands.
The

CONFIG

pin may then be de-asserted.

Note that the

CONFIG

pin must be de-asserted

before

the Exit command (‘X’) is sent to the module, in

order to return to normal operation.
After a command has been executed, the module responds with the ‘>’ prompt character, indicating it is
ready for a new command. New commands must not be entered before the ‘>’ prompt has been
received. The time required to execute a command may vary depending on the command (see the
Timing Information section). There is no ‘>’ prompt after the ‘X’ exit command.
