AES key
The 128 bits of the AES key are set here in this panel. In order to enable the AES key panel,
before to connect the module, check the relative option USE ENCRYPTION (AES 128) in
the option tab.

Dongle description
This box is used to associate a description of the programmed module to the node address.
The description together with the module will be displayed everywhere in the GUI each time
a node list is displayed. The description is stored in a local database, so if you run the GUI
with a programmed node in another PC, the description is missing. The node list file is
located in the directory C:\Program Data\STMicroelectronics\Remote
Console\1.0.0.0\settings\donglelist.l
It is possible to manually edit this file using a text editor, adding in each line the following
text:
0xg1.0xg0.0xa3.0xa2.0xa1.0xa0 -> description
where g1 and g0 are the group byte values (in hexadecimal) and the a3, a2, a1 and a0 are
the address byte values (in hexadecimal). The description is what will appear in the dongle
description panel and in all node list of the GUI.
•
Hardware
In the hardware panel there are the connection and disconnection buttons. As soon as the
CONNECT button is pressed, if the module is connected the “Programming Mode” message
will flash at the bottom of the window, and the module enters programming mode. The
disconnect button disconnects the GUI from the COM port.
•
Dongle mode
As soon as the module is connected, the two buttons RUN and PROGRAM of the dongle
mode panel switches the module modes respectively in run mode and in programming
mode.
•
Commands
In the commands panel the SET button is used to download the chosen configuration
described previously, while the GET button is used to get the configuration present in the
module. If a module has never been programmed before, the group and the address field
are filled with 0xFF values and the run button will not have an effect.
As soon as the module is in run mode, the set to remote address button is enabled. This
button is used to configure a remote node connected via power line, working in the same
manner as the SET button. This procedure has effect only if the node has never been
programmed before (or if the remote address is set to 0xFF both in the group and address
box). Of course, only one module must be present with this address in the same power line,
otherwise the selected configuration (and the chosen new address and group) will be
assigned to each of these nodes.
