HP (Hopping Channel) Command
<Networking & Security> The HP command is
used to set/read the RF modem's hopping channel
number. A channel is one of three layers of filtra-
tion available to the modem.
In order for modems to communicate with each
other, the modems must have the same channel
number since each channel uses a different hop-
ping sequence. Different channels can be used to
prevent modems in one network from listening to
transmissions of another.
HT (Time before Wake-up Initializer) Command
<Sleep (Low Power)> The HT command is used
to set/read the time of inactivity (no serial or RF
data is sent or received) before a wake-up initial-
izer is sent by a TX (transmitting) RF modem. The
HT parameter should be set shorter than inactiv-
ity timeout [ST Command] time of any RX
(receiving) modems operating in Cyclic Sleep
(SM=4-8). The wake-up initializer sent by the TX
modem instructs all RX modems to remain awake
to receive RF data.
From the RX modem perspective: After HT time
elapses and the inactivity timeout [ST Command]
is met, the RX modem goes into cyclic sleep. In cyclic sleep, the RX modem wakes once per sleep
interval [SM Command] to check for a wake-up initializer. When a wake-up initializer is detected,
the modem stays awake to receive data. The wake-up initializer must be longer than the cyclic
sleep interval to ensure that sleeping modems detect incoming data.
When HT time elapses, the TX modem knows it needs to send a wake-up Initializer for all RX
modems to remain awake and receive the next transmission.
HV (Hardware Version) Command
<Diagnostics> The HV command is used to read
the hardware version of the RF modem.
ID (Modem VID) Command
<Networking & Security> The ID command is
used to set/read the VID (Vendor Identification
Number) of the RF modem. RF modems must
have matching VIDs in order to communicate.
