The Thyone-I USB radio stick offers either a Command API (default) or a Transparent Mode on
it’s UART interface.
Two modules or USB dongles can communicate with each other if they share the same radio
configuration (radio profile and channel). Based on the network configuration, data can be
broadcast, multicast to a group or unicast to a specific module. The default module settings
are selected in such a way that an plug and play experience is possible by using 2 dongles and
the PC tool smart commander [1].
