13 - Flex-Zone-Radio module
Furthermore, if another radio module is connected to the measurement module, the measurement
module will read the wireless settings to its memory so that they are visible in the configuration menu
on the next Mekuwin session.
Network
: This setting determines the Ovanet network address. It must be the same on all the radio
devices including the gateway device. Default 6829663.
Channel
: This setting determines the Ovanet network channel. It must be the same on all the radio
devices including the gateway device. Default 1.
Cipher and Auth
: If you want an encrypted radio network, enter two keys. Every device in the network
must share the same keys. The key can be any text string (a Fowler-Noll-Vo hash will be generated of it)
or a 128-bit hexadecimal value beginning with 0x. Default empty.
Relay:
Defines if this device participates in relaying (repeating) the packets of the other devices.
Normally this should be on to ensure the operation of the mesh network. For maximal battery savings
this can in some situations be switched off.
Remote conf
: This setting defines if this device accepts configuration commands from the radio
network. It is advisable to switch this off when no encryption is used.
Battery period:
If set to non-zero value, this transmitter will transmit its battery status and number of
network neighbors similarly to the measurement readings at the interval defined by this setting in
seconds. Please note that the battery status value is very coarse as explained on the page 16.
Node address
: This shows the unique address of the radio module, same as in the label. The node
address cannot be changed here. If a radio module hasn’t been attached yet, this will be 0.
Neighbors
: This shows how many other devices this device has been networked with.
Buffer:
This shows how many percent of the measurement buffer has been used. Normally this will be
0, but if the radio network doesn’t work, then this device will store the measurement readings in its
buffer. When the buffer is more than 50% full, the measurements will be slowed down.
