2. ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T CLI Configuration
Important!: A Serial Port on the computer is required for this procedure.
1. Using the Data Interface Connector (see ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T Data Interface
Connector (on page 16) for location):
a. Apply power to the ZumLink.
b. Connect to the Serial Interface of the ZumLink.
l The Z9-C model has an RS232 interface and can be connected directly to an
RS232 device.
l FreeWave offers a cable (ASC2414DJ) from the radio to a DB9 connector that
includes a reset button and power input jack.
l The Z9-T model has a TTL interface and does NOT work directly with RS232.
l If connecting up to a device or circuit that is RS232, a circuit is required to adapt
between the two interfaces.
2. If the ZumLink is connected to a computer, open a terminal program (e.g., Tera Term).
Note: In this example procedure, Tera Term is used.
3. In Tera Term, on the File menu, select New Connection.

radioSettings.beaconInterval=
Description
Note: This setting is only available when Frequency Hopping is
enabled.
The beaconInterval controls how often a Gateway radio sends out a
beacon packet and changes to the next radio frequency in the hopping
pattern.
A longer beaconInterval gives the system better throughput in
channel environments where interference is minimal.
Throughput can be improved in some situations with shorter beacon
intervals.
Important!: The Endpoint radios will obtain this value from a
Gateway with the same networkId.
Editing this value when the radioMode is set to Endpoint will
return an OK; HOWEVER, the value will become what the
Gateway is set to as soon as it processes a received beacon.
The options are:
TWENTY_FIVE_MS
FIFTY_MS
ONE_HUNDRED_MS
TWO_HUNDRED_MS
FOUR_HUNDRED_MS
Example: radioSettings.beaconInterval=FIFTY_MS.
Note: The default value is FOUR_HUNDRED_MS.

The Frequency Key is a number used as an index to select a hopping
table.
Note: The Endpoint radios will obtain this value from a Gateway
with the same networkId.
The Frequency Key setting boundaries are 0 (zero) to 31.
When a hop table loads, the Frequency Key is adjusted to
whatever is available in the actual hop table.
An invalid frequency setting is determined by being outside of the
specified range.
A frequency setting can also be invalid if the Frequency Key setting
is larger than the number of hopping tables for a specific rfDataRate.
If an invalid frequency setting is found, the Frequency Key is
NOT changed.
In that case, the Frequency Key is set to 0 (zero).
The options are Key0 (zero) to Key23.
Note: The default value is Key0 (zero).

radioSettings.frequencyMasks=
Frequency Masks are used to mask off frequencies or a set of
frequencies in a hop table.
Single Channel Format
frequencyMasks=xxx.yyyy,xxx.yyyy,xxx.yyyy.
Example: frequencyMasks=903.0000,908.0000,925.0000.
Range of Channels Format
frequencyMasks=xxx.yyyy-xxx.yyyy,xxx.yyyy.
Example: frequencyMasks=902.1000-905.1000,920.1000927.9000
Combination of Channels Format
frequencyMasks=902.1000-905.1000,920.1000927.9000,915.0200
Where:
xxx is a value between 902-927.
yyyy is a value between .0000-.9999.
Note: Least significant digits are not required.
Example: .9, .09, .009 are valid entries.
Important!: Frequency mask entries MUST BE less than 128
bytes.
A comma MUST separate the values - NOT a comma and a
space.

Example: A single entry such as 904.0 masks off any
frequencies using 904.0 as a center frequency along with any
bandwidth on each side of the center frequency as a function of
rfDataRate.
A frequency range such as 904.0-906.9999 masks off any
frequencies in the range of 904.0 minus the bandwidth associated
with the data rate, through 906.9999 plus the bandwidth
associated with the data rate.

radioSettings.frequencyMasks=
Description
(continued)
Errors occur when masking reduces the number of frequencies
below regulatory minimums.
This does NOT apply for channel sizes greater than 500 kHz
which can operate single channel or frequency hopping.
If the radioSettings.rfDataRate=RATE_250K:
For channel sizes < 500kHz, the radio must frequency hop.
If the number of hopping channels is >= 50, the maximum
txPower is 30dBm.
If the number of channels is 25 to 49, the maximum txPower is
24dBm.
If the number of hopping channels contained in the hop table is <
25, all masking is removed and all of the channels contained in
the hop table are re-enabled and txPower is NOT changed.
If the radioSettings.rfDataRate=RATE_115.2K:
If the number of hopping channels is >= 50, the maximum
txPower is 30dBm.
If the number of hopping channels contained in the hop table is <
50, all masking is removed and all of the channels contained in
the hop table are re-enabled and txPower is NOT changed.
Notes
Both Gateway and Endpoint radios MUST use the same value for
the frequencyMasks setting.
If the frequencyMasks comes back empty see
frequencyMasksErrors for any errors.
Use frequencyMasks=1 to clear the frequency Masks.
John asks if there's another way to do this clearing?
Note: The default value is Blank.

The lnaBypass setting controls enabling and disabling the Low Noise
Amplifier (LNA) which can boost the receive signal by 10dB.
The options are 0 (zero) and 1.
When the lnaBypass=1, the LNA of the radio module is
bypassed.
If lnaBypass=0, the LNA is enabled.
If lnaBypass= it is set to 1.
It can be useful to bypass the LNA if there is a presence of
strong signals in band and packet reception is not good.
Note: The default value is 0 (zero).

Important!: All nodes in the network that communicate with each

The maximum value is 120 miles.
Note: The default value is 20 miles.

All radios in a network must have the same frequency.

Description
Note: This is a ZumLink Golden Setting.
The radioHoppingMode parameter is used to enable or disable
frequency hopping.
Important!: The Gateway and Endpoint radios MUST use the
same value for this setting.
For rfDataRate values >= 500kbps, the choice of hopping mode
should be selected based on network frequency planning and
channel conditions.
For rfDataRate values < 500kbs, radioHoppingMode is forced On.
The options are:
Hopping_Off
Hopping_On
Example: radioSettings.radioHoppingMode=Hopping_On.
Note: The default value is Hopping_Off.
[Page=radioSettings]
radioSettings.radioMode=
This setting designates the device as a Gateway or Endpoint unit.
Each network MUST have only ONE Gateway unit.
The remaining units MUST be configured as Endpoints.
The Gateway device will always have a nodeId of value 1.
A Gateway is only needed when Frequency Hopping is enabled.
A Gateway is NOT required when operating with a single channel.
Note: The default value is Endpoint.

radioSettings.rfDataRate=
Description
Note: This is a ZumLink Golden Setting.
This setting defines the RF link data rate speed in bits per second.
A higher RF link data rate provides more throughput at the expense
of link distance or fade margin.
When changing from lower data rates to higher ones (e.g., RATE_
115.2K to RATE_1M), the radioFrequency may be set back to
915.000 MHz if the signal would have been out of band.
The communication range is dependent on the rfDataRate setting.
The min value increases and the max value decreases as the
rfDataRate increases.
The increase of channel bandwidth affects these ranges.
Important!: The Gateway and Endpoint radios MUST use the
same value for this setting.
The options are:
RATE_4M
RATE_1M
RATE_500K
RATE_250K
RATE_115.2K
Note: The default value is RATE_1M.
