”
Info”
command can be used for setting of device name that is a part of each broadcasted message (see para-
graph
). The parameter is preset from the factory to
”
none (no entry)” value. By using of
”
info”
command
(without parameter) an actual value of the name can be displayed. The device name can be set by entering of any
string of characters after
”
info” command.
Example of displaying, setting and follow-up checking of the device name:
cfg#info
MBUS manuf info
: ’ABC’
cfg#info XYZ
Change MBUS manuf info from : ’ABC’ to : ’XYZ’
cfg#info
MBUS manuf info
: ’XYZ’
cfg#
Maximum length of the string is 29 characters. The only basic set of characters can be used (without diacritics).
It is not recommended to change this parameter.
”
Periode”
command serves for setting of broadcasting period of regular info messages. The value of the parameter
is factory preset to 60 minutes. Current value can be checked by
”
periode”
command (without parameter).
Broadcasting period can be changed by entering of required number of minutes after
”
periode” command.
Example of displaying, setting and follow-up checking of broadcasting period:
cfg#periode
Periode is 60 min.
cfg#periode 30
Periode changed from 60 to 30 min.
cfg#periode
Periode is 30 min.
cfg#
Group of
”
power”
(transmitting power),
”
chan”
(frequency channel),
”
mode”
(communication mode) and
”
ekey”
(encryption key) commands is intended for setting of module
RF-subsystem parameters
.
The command
”
Power”
is used for adjusting of the module broadcasting power. Factory setting is 100 mW
(average power). Actual value of the power can be displayed by using of the
”power”
command without parameter.
Transmitting power can be set-up by entering of the number of power level. There are five levels available:
- value ”1” for transmitting power 14 dBm (25 mW)
- value ”2” for transmitting power 17 dBm (50 mW)
- value ”3” for transmitting power 20 dBm (100 mW)
- value ”4” for transmitting power 24 dBm (250 mW)
- value ”5” for transmitting power 27 dBm (500 mW)
An example of checking, setting and re-checking of transmitting power:
cfg#power
MBUS power : 3 (20 dBm)
cfg#power 5
MBUS power changed from 3 to 5 (27 dbm)
cfg#power
MBUS power : 5 (27 dBm)
cfg#
The command
”
Communication mode”
is used for selecting of the module’s communication mode. Factory
setting is N1 (unidirectional), actual setting can be checked by using of
”
mode“
command without parameter.
Change of mode can be done by entering of desired option as a parameter of the command. Communication modes
are defined by the Wireless M-BUS standard, accurate choice of relevant communication modes of the module is
stated in the line ”mode” of ”Help” summary (see the paragraph
An example of checking, setting and re-checking of communication mode:
