TRANSPARENT MODE OPERATION
For enable using modem in conjunction with various software systems dispatching of
meters and industrial equipment, there is an ability to operating in a transparent mode. In this
mode, the modem operates as a simple communication channel between the LoRaWAN
network server and connected external device. SI-13 can receive data from the LoRaWAN
network for external devices and transfer them to the RS-232/RS-485 interface without any
processing. If the external device responds to the request, the modem sends the received
data back to the network, also without processing, as one or more packets.
Thus, in transparent mode, the modem does not form a request and does not process
the response from the metering device. The duty to form requests and analyze the responses
lies entirely on the external application that works with SI-13 through the LoRaWAN network.
To provide device operation in the transparent mode it is necessary to install
“LoRa2TCP” application downloading on the
. There is a manual about initial
setting of the transparent mode on the device page.
INDEPENDENT POOLING MODE
Vega SI-13 can operate in the mode of an independent pooling of any connected
through RS interface devices. You need to create and set up the required commands and
suspected responses in the «Vega LoRaWAN Configurator» application. After that, the
modem pools the connected device with the specified period from 1 to 65535 seconds.
When the modem receives one of the suspected responses, it may send a packet into the
LoRaWAN network. See details in
Since requests and responses are configured manually, the Vega SI-13 modem can poll
any connected devices using any protocol via the RS-232 or RS-485 interface.
