>return< on the terminal will display a complete list of commands, below the mostly used
commands are explained.
e
exit, leaving the last funktion
channel x
channel entry, where
x=b sets the lowest channel at 2405MHz
x=12 sets a channel at 2440MHz
x=1a sets the highest channel at 2480MHz
txtone
turns on an unmodulated carrier
txstream
turns on a continuously modulated carrier
transmit
x
transmission of packets according to IEEE802.15.4
receive
reception of packets (requires another device set to transmit on the same
channel)
remark:
