Preliminary 7.4 Configuration Parameter Registers The configuration parameters in a DNT90 module are stored in a set of variable length registers. Most registers are read-write, with a few read-only or write-only. Changes made to the register settings are temporary until a MemorySave command is executed. Resetting or power-cycling the module will clear any changes that have not been saved to permanent memory using the MemorySave command. DNT90 modules can be configured to start in protocol mode at power-up, in which case the EnterProtocolMode command is not required. 7.4.1 Bank 0x00 - Transceiver Setup Bank Location Name R/W Size Range Default 0x00 0x00 DeviceMode R/W 0x01 0..2 0 (remote) 0x00 0x01 HopDuration R/W 0x01 16..200 40 (20 ms) 0x00 0x02 ParentNwkID R/W 0x01 0..63, 255 255 (any parent) 0x00 0x03 SecurityKey R/W 0x10 0..2^128-1 0x00 0x13 SleepModeEn R/W 0x01 0..2 0 (off) 0x00 0x14 WakeResponseTime R/W 0x02 0..30000 500 (500 ms) 0x00 0x16 WakeLinkTimeout R/W 0x01 0..255 5 (5 s) 0x00 0x17 AltParentNwkID R/W 0x01 0..63, 255 255 (disabled) 0x00 0x18 TxPower R/W 0x01 0..1 1 (+22 dBm) 0x00 0x19 UserTag R/W 0x10 string 0x00 0x29 RmtTransDestAddr R/W 0x03 0x00 0x2C Store&ForwardEn R/W 0x01 0..1 0x00 0x2D BaseModeNetID R/W 0x01 1..63, 255 255 0x00 0x2E HeartbeatIntrvl R/W 0x02 0..65535 20 (seconds) 0x00 0x30 SystemId R/W 0x01 0..255 0x00 0x31 EndToEndAckEnable R/W 0x01 0..1 0 (disabled) “DNT90” 0x000000 (Base) 0 (disabled) 0x00 0x32 LinkRetryInterval R/W 0x02 0..65535 0 (disabled) 0x00 0x34 FastBeaconCount R/W 0x02 0..65535 0 (off) 0x00 0x36 FastBeaconTrig R/W 0x01 0..255 0 (off) Table 7.4.1.1 DeviceMode - this parameter selects the operating mode for the radio: 0x00 = remote (default) 0x01 = base 0x02 = router (store and forward system) Note that changing this setting does not take effect immediately. It must be followed by a MemorySave command and then either a hardware reset or a power off/on cycle. A router without a valid BaseModeNetID operates as a remote. HopDuration - this parameter sets the duration of the hop frame, and can only be set on the base. The duration is an 8-bit value, 0.5 ms/count. The valid range is from 8 to 100 ms. Changing the hop duration on the base must be followed by a MemorySave command to allow the change to persist through a reset or power cycle. A HopDuration change takes effect immediately. Child radios will re-link following a HopDuration parameter change as they receive the updated hop duration value from the base. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 41 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary ParentNwkID - this parameter specifies the parent (BaseModeNetID) that a child radio is allowed to join. The valid range of this parameter is 0 to 63 (0x00 to 0x3F), plus 255 (0xFF). Setting the ParentNwkID to 255 allows connection to any parent. This parameter is applicable only to remotes and routers. Also see the discussion of AltParentNwkID below. Security Key - this 16-byte parameter sets the 128-bit AES encryption key. To protect the key, it is a writeonly parameter for the user. It always reads back as 0x2A. SleepModeEn - this parameter enables/disables sleep mode (remotes only). Sleep mode is used in conjunction with the automatic I/O reporting feature to wake up a remote on specific triggers. The default value for this parameter is 0 (off). Setting this parameter to 1 invokes sleep mode immediately. Setting this parameter to 2 invokes sleep mode following reset, allowing this and other parameter updates to be stored before sleep mode is invoked. WakeResponseTime - this parameter set how long sleep is deferred in a DNT90 remote configured for sleep mode after: link acquisition receiving an ACK from the device’s parent receiving a packet that requires processing by the device after receiving a protocol packet from the device’s local host. WakeLinkTimeout - this parameter sets the maximum length of time that a remote in sleep mode will spend trying to acquire a link to its parent before going back to sleep, from a minimum of 1 to 255 seconds in 1 second steps. If this value is set to 0, the remote will stay awake and continue trying to link to its base indefinitely. AltParentNwkID - this parameter specifies an alternate parent (BaseModeNetID) that a child radio is allowed to join. This parameter is used to provide more robust message routing when setting the ParentNwkID to its 0xFF wildcard value is not appropriate. The valid range of this parameter is 0x00 to 0x3F, plus 0xFF. Rather than specifying wildcard operation, setting the AltParentNwkID to 0xFF disables the selection of an alternate parent. This parameter is applicable only to remotes and routers. TxPower - this parameter sets the transmit power level (default is 0x01): 0x00 = +16 dBm or 40 mW 0x01 = +22 dBm or 158 mW UserTag - this parameter is a user definable field intended for use as a location description or other identifying tag such as a “friendly name”. RmtTransDestAddr - this parameter holds the default destination for transparent mode data packets and event packets. This parameter defaults to the base station’s address (0x000000) except on a base station, where at startup it will be changed to the broadcast address (0xFFFFFF) if the firmware detects that it is set to 0x000000. Note - if a module’s configuration is changed from a base to a remote or router, this parameter must be set back to 0x000000 or the module will send broadcast packets in transparent mode or for event packets. Store&ForwardEn - setting this parameter to 0x01 enables store-and-forward system operation. Storeand-forward operation is disabled by default. BaseModeNetID - applicable to the base and routers only, this parameter specifies the network ID of a device’s own network when acting as parent. A child is allowed to join a network when its ParentNwkID www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 42 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary parameter matches a parent’s BaseModeNetID. The valid range of this parameter is 0x00 to 0x3F. A value greater than 0x3F is invalid and will be forced to 0x00 on a base. A router with an invalid BaseModeNetID will be forced to operate as a remote. HeartbeatInterval - When set to 0, all heartbeats are disabled, including the initial heartbeat issued after link acquisition. When set to 0xFFFF (default), periodic heartbeats are disabled but the initial linkup heartbeat is enabled. The periodic heartbeat interval is scaled 1 second/count, and applies to DNT90s where sleep mode is disabled. Remotes with sleep mode enabled must have periodic reports and/or ADC sampling enabled for heartbeats to be generated. SystemId - this parameter holds the ID for a DTN90 system. DNT90 systems that may physically overlap must have different system IDs. EndToEndAckEnable - when this parameter is set to 1 and the DNT90 is in protocol mode, the originator will indicate in its transmitted packet that an ACK is expected from the packet’s destination node. Setting this parameter to 0x00 reduces network congestion in a store-and-forward system, but no TxDataReply will be sent from the destination to confirm reception. LinkRetryInterval - when a remote enters sleep mode with an unsent packet in its queue, the remote will wake up after the number of seconds held in this parameter and try to link so that pending packets can be transmitted. When this parameter is set to 0, this feature is disabled. FastBeaconCount - this parameter controls the fast beacon mode, which is used to speed up network synchronization. Fast beacon mode is especially useful for multi-level store-and-forward networks that are configured with long hop durations. Fast beacon mode is controlled by the base station. If the FastBeaconCount parameter is set to a non-zero value, when the base is reset, powered up or the FastBeaconTrig parameter is set to a non-zero value, it will output the number of 6 ms beacons specified in the FastBeaconCount parameter. The base and all of its children will synchronously decrement a version of the parameter in their beacons, such that it will reach 0 simultaneously on all devices. This allows all nodes in the DNT90 system to simultaneously transition to using the configured base slot size and number of slots. The beacons also inform all child devices that the network is in Fast beacon mode, so that all children will observe the FastBeaconCount and assume, in addition to the 6ms hop timing, a base slot size of 0 and a number of slots equal to 1. If the cycled base station operating parameters transmitted in the beacons, including the BaseSlotSize and NumSlots (see Bank 0x01 parameters) are stable, then a further speedup of synchronization can be achieved by setting the NumBaseParms on the base station to 8. However, this should be done only after all child devices are known to have configuration parameters identical to the base station’s saved in their EEPROM. The first 9 parameters contain the AES counter and MAC address that are needed to synchronize encryption, along with NumBaseParms. FastBeaconTrig - when this parameter is set to any non-zero value on a base station, fast beacon mode starts if the fastBeaconCount register is already set to a non-zero value. It auto-clears on a base station and will read back as 0 after it is cleared. On a router or remote, it would do nothing and will not clear except after reset. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The base passes these parameters to the routers and remotes as needed. The exception is InitFrequencyBand parameter which can also be set in routers and remotes. Bank Location Name R/W Size Range Default 0x01 0x00 InitFrequencyBand R/W 0x01 0..3, 255 0 (US) 0x01 0x01 NumSlots R/W 0x01 1..8 0x01 0x02 BaseSlotSize R/W 0x01 6..105 40 0x01 0x03 SlotLease R/W 0x01 1..255 2 (hops) 0x01 0x04 BcstAttemptLimit R/W 0x01 0..254 0x01 0x05 ArqAttemptLimit R/W 0x01 1..255 0x01 0x06 LinkDropThreshold R/W 0x01 1..255 10 (hops) 0x01 0x07 P2PReplyTimeout R/W 0x01 0..255 100 (hops) 0x01 0x08 RegistryTimeout R/W 0x01 0..255 50 (hops) 0x01 0x09 NumBaseParms R/W 0x01 8..21 21 Table 7.4.2.1 InitFrequencyBand - this parameter sets the range of frequencies and channel spacing over which the DNT90 system will initially operate. Four bands are available: 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 0xFF Band 0: 902.76 to 927.24 MHz, 52 channels, 480 kHz spacing Band 1: 902.76 to 926.76 MHz, 26 channels, 960 kHz spacing Band 2: 915.72 to 927.74 MHz, 25 channels, 480 kHz spacing Band 3: 902.76 to 914.76 MHz, 26 channels, 480 kHz spacing wildcard - will accept any band Bands 0, 1, 2 and 3 can be used in North and South America (902 to 928 MHz band), with Band 2 usable in Australia. NumSlots - this parameter sets the number of slots available for child transmissions following the parent’s beacon transmission on a hop. BaseSlotSize - this parameter set the maximum number of payload bytes that the base can send on a single hop. The default value is 40 bytes. SlotLease - this parameter set the number of hops a parent radio will reserve a slot for a child after receiving a message from that child. Small values such as 2 are suited to short data bursts, and larger values are generally a better choice when devices send a stream of non-continuous data across consecutive hops. The minimum value is 1, assuring that a child can receive an ACK on the next hop after it transmits. BcstAttemptLimit - setting this parameter to 0 enables automatic broadcast message repeats based on the ArqAttemptLimit parameter value. Setting this parameter to a value between 1 and 254 specifies the number of broadcast message repeats independent of the ArqAttemptLimit. This parameter should not be set to 0 if ArqAttemptLimit is set to 255. ArqAttemptLimit - this sets the maximum number of attempts that will be made to send a message on the RF link. Setting this parameter to the maximum value of 255 is a flag value indicating that there should be no limit to the number of attempts to send each packet (infinite number of attempts). This mode is intended for point-to-point networks in serial data cable replacement applications where absolutely no packets www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 44 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary can be lost. Note - if this mode is used in a multipoint network, one remote that has lost link will shut down the entire network if the base is trying to send it data. LinkDropThreshold - this is the number of consecutive beacons missed by a remote that causes the remote to restart a link acquisition search. Please contact RFM technical support before making changes to the parameter. P2PReplyTimeout - this parameter sets the reply timeout for peer-to-peer messages sent from one node to another. Because each leg of the journey from one node to another and back may take multiple transmit attempts, the length of time to confirm receipt and issue a TxDataReply is subject to more variation than a transmission directly between a base and a remote. When AckEnable is selected, the P2PReplyTimeout parameter specifies the maximum number of hops or hop pairs that a remote will wait for a reply from its recipient. If a reply returns sooner than the timeout, the remote will send a TxDataReply indicating success (ACK) to its host as soon as it is received, and cancels the timeout. If a reply does not come back before the timeout expires, the remote will send a TxDataReply to its host indicating failure (NAK). If a reply should come back after the timeout expires the remote will ignore it, as a TxDataReply has already been sent. The units of this parameter are in hops for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint operation and in hop pairs for store-and-forward operation. RegistryTimeout - this parameter sets the number of hops without contact from a child device for which a parent device will preserve the Transaction ID (TID) history for that child. The TID is used to filter out duplicate packets. After a registry timeout occurs, the TID history is discarded. NumBaseParms - this parameter controls the number of cycled parameters sent in the base station beacon. It must be left in its default value of 21 until all nodes in a DNT90 system have received all cycled parameters and stored them locally in EEPROM. At this point the number of cycled parameters can be set to 9, which will significantly speed up future system resynchronizations. 7.4.3 Bank 0x02 - Status Parameters Bank Location Name R/W Size Range Default 0x02 0x00 MacAddress 0x03 0..0xFFFFFF Fixed value 0x02 0x03 CurrNwkID 0x01 0..63, 255 Current Value 0x02 0x04 CurrFreqBand 0x01 0..2, 255 Current Value 0x02 0x05 LinkStatus 0x01 0..5 Current status 0x02 0x06 RemoteSlotSize 0x01 0..109 Current Value 0x02 0x07 SlotNumber 0x01 0..7 Current Value 0x02 0x08 HardwareVersion 0x01 0x41..0x5A 0x43 = Rev “C” 0x02 0x09 FirmwareVersion 0x01 0x00..0xFF Current FW load Current FW load 0x02 0x0A FirmwareBuildNum 0x02 0..65535 0x02 0x0C FirmwareBuildDate 0x03 BCD (“YYMMDD”) Current FW load 0x02 0x0F FirmwareBuildTime 0x03 BCD (“HHMMSS”) Current FW load 0x02 0x12 RssiIdle 0x01 -128..127 Current Value 0x02 0x13 RssiLast 0x01 -128..127 Current Value 0x02 0x14 AvgBeaconPower 0x01 -128..127 Current Value 0x02 0x15 ParentMacAddress 0x03 0..0xFFFFFF Current Value 0x02 0x18 ModelNumber 0x90 indicates DNT90 Table 7.4.3.1 www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 45 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary MacAddress - this parameter holds the radio's unique 24-bit MAC address. CurrNwkID - this parameter holds the ID of the network the radio is currently assigned to or connected to. A value of 255 (0xFF) means the radio has powered up and is scanning for a network but has not yet joined one. CurrFreqBand - this parameter holds the frequency band of the network that the radio is currently assigned to or connected to. A value of 0xFF means the radio has powered up and is scanning for a network but has not yet joined one. LinkStatus - this parameter holds the link status of a router or remote: 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 0x05 idle lost link acquiring link collecting parameters from the base registering registered RemoteSlotSize - this parameter holds the current remote slot size, defined as the maximum number of message bytes a remote can send on a single hop. The RemoteSlotSize is calculated by each radio in a system based on the values of the HopDuration, BaseSlotSize, and NumSlots parameters. SlotNumber - this parameter holds the current slot number assigned to a router or remote. HarwareVersion - this parameter holds an identifier indicating the hardware revision (ASCII character). A value of 0x43 is defined for the DNT90 Revision C hardware. FirmwareVersion - this parameter holds the firmware version of the radio in 2-digit BCD format. FirmwareBuildNum - this parameter holds the firmware build number, in binary format. FirmwareBuildDate - this parameter holds the date of firmware build in MM/DD/YY format. FirmwareBuildTime - this parameter holds the time of the firmware build in HH:MM:SS format. RssiIdle - this 2’s compliment parameter holds the last RSSI measurement in dBm made during a time when the RF channel was idle. This parameter is useful for detecting interferers. RssiLast - this 2’s compliment parameter holds the last RSSI measurement in dBm made during the receipt of an RF packet with a valid CRC. This parameter is useful for network commissioning/diagnostics. AvgBeaconPower - this 2’s compliment parameter holds the alpha-filtered beacon power (dBm) received from a device’s parent, where alpha = 0.0625. ParentMacAddress - this parameter holds the MAC address of a DNT90’s parent. ModelNumber - this parameter specifies the DNT model, in this case a DNT90. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

SpiMasterCmdStr - this parameter holds the SPI master command string that is used to interrogate the slave peripheral when SPI master mode is selected and periodic I/O reporting is enabled. 7.4.5 Bank 0x04 - Host Protocol Settings Bank Location Name R/W Size Range Default 0x04 0x00 ProtocolMode R/W 0x01 0..1 0 (Transparent) 0x04 0x01 TxTimeout R/W 0x01 0..255 0 (No timeout) 0x04 0x02 MinPacketLength R/W 0x01 0..255 1 (byte) 0x04 0x03 TransPtToPtMode R/W 0x01 0..1 1 (Last RX) 0x04 0x04 MsgsPerHop R/W 0x01 1..8 Table 7.4.5.1 ProtocolMode - this parameter selects the host protocol mode. The default is 0x00, which is transparent mode, meaning the radio conveys whatever characters that are sent to it transparently, without requiring the host to understand or conform to the DNT90's built-in protocol. This setting is recommended for pointto-point applications for legacy applications such as wire replacements where another serial protocol may already exist. Setting this parameter to 0x01 enables the DNT90 protocol formatting. It is not necessary to define the same protocol mode for all radios in a network. For example, it is frequently useful to configure all the remotes for transparent mode and the base for protocol mode. Note that it is possible for the host to switch the radio from transparent mode to protocol mode and back as required by transmitting an EnterProtocolMode command. TxTimeout - this parameter is used to group transparent data to be sent in a single transmission rather than being split over two hops. Messages sent over two hops can have gaps in the received data stream that can cause problems for the receiving application - for example, Modbus RTU. This parameter is the transmit timeout used for determining message boundaries in transparent data mode. Parameter units are in milliseconds. A message boundary is determined whenever a gap between consecutive characters is equal to or greater than the TxTimeout value, or the number of bytes reaches the MinPacketLength. Either condition will trigger a transmission. The default TxTimeout value is 0 ms which will have the radio send whatever data is in its transmit buffer as soon as possible. MinPacketLength - this parameter is similar to TxTimeout except it uses the number of bytes received instead of the amount of time without receiving a byte. The default is one byte. A transmission is triggered when either the number of bytes reaches MinPacketLength or a gap is detected between consecutive www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 48 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary characters greater than TxTimeout. If this parameter is set larger than the applicable slot size, the slot size overrides this parameter and a transmission is triggered when the slot size is filled. TransPtToPtMode - when this parameter is set to 0x00, the destination address of transparent mode packets will be the configured RemoteDestAddr. When set to 0x01, the address initializes to RemoteDestAddr and then updates to the most recent RX packet processed. MsgsPerHop - this parameter sets the maximum number of messages a DNT90 can send in each hop frame. The default value is 8 messages, which is suitable for most applications.

When the ADC is operating in differential mode, the ADC1 to ADC0 differential reading is stored in the ADC0 position, and the ADC2 to ADC0 differential reading is stored in the ADC1 position. The ADC2 reading is not used in ADC differential mode and this position is set to 0. Gpio0 through Gpio5 - if a pin is configured as an output, writing to its corresponding parameter to sets the pin’s logic state. If a pin is configured as an input, writing to its corresponding parameter enables or disables the pin’s internal pull-up. Reading these registers returns the current level detected on the corresponding pins. Adc0 through Adc2 - read-only parameters that return the current reading for the selected ADC channel (Little-Endian byte order). When the ADC is operating in differential mode, the ADC1 to ADC0 differential reading is stored in the ADC0 position, and the ADC2 to ADC0 differential reading is stored in the ADC1 position. The ADC2 reading is not used in ADC differential mode and this position is set to 0. Also, see the discussion of the AdcSampleIntvl parameter below. EventFlags - used with the automatic I/O reporting feature, this parameter indicates which I/O events have been triggered since the last report (write 0x0000 to reset): www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The default is all inputs. GpioInit - this parameter is a bitmask that sets the initial value for any GPIOs which are enabled as outputs. For GPIOs enabled as inputs, this sets the initial pull-up setting. GpioAlt - Specifies which GPIO pins will have their alternate functions enabled: Bit 2 - diversity toggle enable, Bit 3 - RS485 enable, Bit 4 - /HOST_CTS enable, Bit5 - /HOST_RTS enable. Bit Alternate Function Default Bit Mask (none) 0x01 (none) 0x02 Diversity Toggle 0x04 RS485 (N/A in SPI Slave mode) 0x08 /Host_CTS (N/A in SPI Slave mode) 0x10 /HOST_RTS (N/A in SPI Slave mode) 0x20 Table 7.4.7.2 GpioEdgeTrigger -This parameter consists of a set of four 2-bit fields that define when GPIO triggers are enabled for I/O event reporting: bits 7..6 bits 5..4 bits 3..2 bits 1..0 GPIO3 edge function GPIO2 edge function GPIO1 edge function GPIO0 edge function The bit values for each GPIO map to the following settings: Value GPIO edge behavior 11 Rising edge trigger, neither level keeps remote awake 10 Bidirectional edge trigger, neither level keeps remote awake 01 Rising edge trigger, holding high keeps remote awake 00 Falling edge trigger, holding low keeps remote awake Table 7.4.7.3 GpioSleepMode - this parameter is a bitmask that enables configuring the I/O direction and state of GPIO0..GPIO5 when the module is sleeping. Bits 0..5 correspond to GPIO0..GPIO5. Setting a GpioSleepMode bit to 1 enables sleep mode configuration of the corresponding GPIO. Setting a GpioSleepMode bit to 0 causes the corresponding GPIO to remain configured as in active mode. Note that when the www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 51 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary GpioAlt bit is set for GPIO4, the corresponding GpioSleepMode bit is ignored and GPIO4 is controlled directly by the GpioSleepState parameter bit 7. GpioSleepDir - when GpioSleepMode is enabled, this parameter functions to set the direction of the GPIOs during a device’s sleep period. This enables the user to provide alternate configurations during sleep that will help minimize current consumption. Bits 0..5 correspond to GPIO0..GPIO5. Setting a GpioSleepDir bit to 1 to specifies an output; 0 specifies an input. GpioSleepState - when GpioSleepMode is enabled, this parameter functions as a bitmask to control the states of the GPIOs, the RADIO_TXD output, and the /HOST_CTS and /DCD outputs during a device’s sleep period. This allows the user to set alternate configurations during sleep to minimize current consumption. Bits 0..5 correspond to GPIO0..GPIO5 respectively. Bit 6 sets the state of RADIO_TXD, and bit 7 sets the states of /HOST_CTS and /DCD. A sleep state bit is set to 1 to specify a high output or an internal pull-up on an input, or to 0 to specify a low output or no internal pull-up on an input. Bit 6 must be set low in order to achieve minimum sleep current (high impedance load assumed), and the other bits may need to be set low or high depending on their external loads. When bit 6 is set low, expect a serial “break” condition to occur as the module wakes from sleep. The serial break condition can be eliminated by setting bit 6 high, but sleep current will be increased. Dac0Init - this parameter sets the initial value for DAC0 at startup. Dac1Init - this parameter sets the initial value for DAC1 at startup. AdcSampleIntvl - this parameter sets the frequency (sample interval) of ADC measurements used to determine if a threshold has been exceeded or in calculating an average measurement value. The ADC channels are read on each ADC cycle, along with the states of GPIO2 and GPIO3. Each AdcSampleIntvl count equals 10 ms. The default is 100 ms. This interval will be the worst-case latency for ADC generated interrupts. Note that AdcSampleIntvl is independent of IoReportInterval as the ADCs are read on both intervals. Adc0..2ThresholdLo/Hi - these parameters set the thresholds to trigger an I/O report based on ADC measurements. If I/O reporting is enabled, a single event report containing the contents of the I/O bank is generated when a threshold is crossed. Reporting is edge-triggered with respect to threshold boundaries, not level-triggered. Additional reports are not triggered unless the ADC measurement first returns inside the threshold boundary and then crosses the threshold again. Triggers occur whenever one of the following inequalities is satisfied: ADCx < ADCx_ThresholdLo ADCx > ADCx_ThresholdHi IoReportTrigger - a trigger event on any enabled trigger source will cause a DNT90 router or remote to send an event message to the base containing the entire current values of the Bank 5. bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 bit 3 bit 2 bit 1 bit 0 ADC2 high/low thresholds ADC1 high/low thresholds ADC0 high/low thresholds Periodic timer GPIO3 edge GPIO2 edge GPIO1 edge GPIO0 edge I/O reporting is supported for remotes and routers only, not the base. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The parameter scaling is 10 ms/count, and the default report interval is every 30 seconds. IoPreDelay - this parameter sets the time in milliseconds to delay collection of ADC readings after a module wakeup event occurs, to allow settling of ADC input voltages. IoBindingEnable - this parameter enables I/O binding. Setting this parameter to 0x00 disables I/O binding (I/O mirroring) from a remote device. Setting this parameter 0x01 enables I/O mirroring. When enabled, the data from any received event report is used to drive the device’s own outputs. GPIO2 will be set to the event report’s GPIO0 reading, GPIO3 will be set to the event report’s GPIO1 reading, and DAC0 and DAC1 will be set with the ADC0 and ADC1 readings respectively. Note that if the AdcDiffMode parameter is set to 1, I/O binding cannot be used. DacReference - this parameter selects the reference voltage for the DACs: Setting 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 Reference ADC_EXT_REF AVVC (Analog Vcc) Reserved Disable DAC operation AdcReference - this parameter selects the reference voltage for the ADCs: Setting 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 Reference ADC_EXT_REF Internal Vcc divided by 1.6 Reserved Disable ADC operation AdcAveSelect - this parameter selects the number of ADC measurements to average to produce each ADC reading, from 1 to 255 samples. Averaging over a larger number of measurements increases noise filtering but also increases the time it takes to generate a set of readings: ADC Mode Module Awake Module Sleeping Single-ended, reading all three channels 216 µs 381 µs Differential, reading both channels 160 µs 273 µs Table 7.4.7.4 ExtAdcScaleFactor - this parameter is the scale factor applied to an ADC measurement when the ADC reference is an external voltage. The scale factor parameter is multiplied by 32768. for example, the parameter value for a scale factor of 1.12 = 1.12 * 32768 = 36700.16 or 0x8F5C. ExtAdcOffset - this parameter is the 2’s complement offset added to the scaled ADC measurement when the ADC reference is an external voltage. ExtDacScaleFactor - this parameter is the scale factor applied to a DAC measurement when the DAC reference is an external voltage. The scale factor parameter is multiplied by 32768. for example, the parameter value for a scale factor of 1.12 = 1.12 * 32768 = 36700.16 or 0x8F5C. ExtDacOffset - this parameter is 2’s complement the offset added to the scaled DAC measurement when the DAC reference is an external voltage. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The scale factor parameter is multiplied by 32768. for example, the parameter value for a scale factor of 1.12 = 1.12 * 32768 = 36700.16 or 0x8F5C. VccAdcOffset - this parameter is the 2’s complement offset added to the scaled ADC measurement when the ADC reference is derived from Vcc/1.6. VccDacScaleFactor - this parameter is the scale factor applied to a DAC measurement when the DAC reference is Vcc. The scale factor parameter is multiplied by 32768. for example, the parameter value for a scale factor of 1.12 = 1.12 * 32768 = 36700.16 or 0x8F5C. VccDacOffset - this parameter is the 2’s complement offset added to the scaled DAC measurement when the DAC reference is Vcc. 1VAdcScaleFactor - this parameter is the scale factor applied to an ADC measurement when the ADC reference is the 1 V internal reference. The scale factor parameter is multiplied by 32768. for example, the parameter value for a scale factor of 1.12 = 1.12 * 32768 = 36700.16 or 0x8F5C. 1VAdcOffset - this parameter is the 2’s complement offset added to the scaled ADC measurement when the ADC reference is the 1 V internal reference. 1VDacScaleFactor - this parameter is the scale factor applied to a DAC measurement when the DAC reference is the 1 V internal reference. The scale factor parameter is multiplied by 32768. for example, the parameter value for a scale factor of 1.12 = 1.12 * 32768 = 36700.16 or 0x8F5C. 1VDacOffset - this parameter is the 2’s complement offset added to the scaled DAC measurement when the DAC reference is the 1 V internal reference. AdcDiffMode - a parameter value of 0 selects single-ended ADC mode. In this mode, negative sensor inputs are connected to ground and positive sensor inputs to ADC0, ADC1 and ADC2 respectively. Three ADC measurements are made in this mode with a range of 0x0000 to 0x07FF. A parameter value of 1 selects signed differential mode with gain. In this mode, the negative sensor inputs are connected to ADC0 and the positive inputs are connected to ADC1 and ADC2. Two ADC measurements are made in this mode, ADC1 to ADC0 and ADC2 to ADC0, with a range (signed) from 0xF800 to 0x07FF. In differential mode, the AdcGainCh0 and AdcGainCh1 parameters can change the selected gain for the two ADC readings, and the AdcDiff scale factors and offsets, both supplied by the customer, are used. AdcGainCh0 - this parameter sets the preamplifier gain applied when making a differential measurement of ADC1 relative to ADC0. Setting this parameter to 0x00 sets the gain to 1, 0x01 sets the gain to 2, 0x02 sets the gain to 4 and so on, up to 0x06 which sets the gain to 64. Note that the preamplifier output voltage saturates at 2.4 V regardless of the gain setting. AdcGainCh1 - this parameter sets the gain applied when making a differential measurement of ADC2 relative to ADC0. Setting this parameter to 0x00 sets the gain to 1, 0x01 sets the gain to 2, 0x02 sets the gain to 4 and so on, up to 0x06 which sets the gain to 64. Note that the preamplifier output voltage saturates at 2.4 V regardless of the gain setting. AdcDiffScaleFactorCh0/1 and AdcDiffOffsetCh0/1 - these parameters are applied to the raw ADC readings in differential mode. These values are not factory calibrated, but can be calibrated by the user. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 54 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary FastAdcPrescaler - this parameter is the system clock divisor used to generate the ADC clock when the system is being clocked at 16 MHz. Default value is 0x05 (system clock 128). Higher values correspond to slower ADC clock rates. For example, 0x07 = 512, and 0x00 = 4. Note that larger prescalers will increase the amount of time it takes to collect all readings. DIV4 is not valid when running at 16 MHz because the maximum ADC clock rate is 2 MHz, so DIV8 is the lowest allowed. SlowAdcPrescaler - System clock divisor used to generate the ADC clock when the system is being clocked at 2 MHz, when exiting sleep mode. Default value is 0x02 (system clock 16). Higher values correspond to slower ADC clock rates. For example, 0x07 = DIV512, and 0x00 = DIV4. MaxQueuedEvents - this parameter sets the maximum number of Event Reports that can be queued at one time by a DNT90. This parameter is used to prevent a router device from clogging up its outbound queue with its own pending transmissions if it has having trouble obtaining link or an available slot from its parent. This parameter defaults to 8, with a maximum value of 20. AdcSkipCount - this parameter sets the number of measurements to skip (discard) when switching to a new ADC channel. The skipped measurements allow transients in the ADC sample-and-hold circuit to settle out. This parameter must be set to at least 0x03 when AdcDiffMode is selected. Note that the IoPreDelay parameter discussed above provides a delay to allow signals external to the DNT90 to settle following a wake up event, while AdcSkipCount skips measurements that may be distorted because the internal voltage on the ADC sample-and-hold has not settled. 7.4.8 Bank 0xFF - Special Functions Bank Location Name R/W Size 0xFF 0xFF Range Default 0x00 UcReset 0x01 MemorySave 0x01 0..2 N/A 0x01 0xD0..0xD2 0xFF 0x04 DiagSerialRate N/A R/W 0x01 0..10 7 (38400 kbps) 0xFF 0x0C 0xFF 0x10 ForceDiscover 0x03 (See Text) N/A DiagPortEn R/W 0x01 0..1 0 (disabled) Table 7.4.8.1 UcReset - writing a 0 to this parameter initiates a full reset, writing 1 to initiates a reset to the serial bootloader, or writing a 2 to initiates a reset to the OTA bootloader client.

The payload consists of 3 bytes: NWKID (NN), minimum MAC address (LL), and maximum MAC address (XX). In Little Endian hexadecimal format this would appear as “XXLLNN”. DiagPortEn - setting this parameter to 0x01 enables diagnostic port operation. 7.5 Protocol-formatted Message Examples 7.5.1 Data Message In this example, the ASCII text “Hello” is sent from the base to a remote using the TxData command. The MAC address of the remote is 0x123456. The protocol formatting for the host message is: SOP Length PktType Lo MAC MAC Hi MAC “H” “e” “l” “l” “o” 0xFB 0x09 0x05 0x56 0x34 0x12 0x48 0x65 0x6C 0x6C 0x6F There are 9 bytes following the length byte, so the length byte is set to 0x09. Note that the 0x123456 network address is entered in Little-Endian byte order, 56 34 12. When an ACK to this message is received from the remote, the base outputs a TxDataReply message to its host: SOP Length PktType Lo MAC MAC Hi MAC Status RSSI 0xFB 0x07 0x15 0x56 0x34 0x12 0x00 0xB0 The 0x00 TxStatus byte value indicates the ACK reception from the remote. The RSSI value of the received ACK is 0xB0, indicating a received signal strength of approximately -80 dBm . The ASCII “Hello” message is output at the remote as an 0x26 RxData event. The address field contains the originator’s address, 0x00 0x00 0x00, which is the base. The RSSI value of the received message is 0xB4, indicating a received signal strength of approximately -76 dBm.

To do this, the IoReportInterval in the remote is set to 10 seconds and the periodic report timer bit in the IoReportTrigger parameter is set ON. The IoReportInterval and the IoReportTrigger parameters are loaded using SetRemoteRegister commands. The command to set the IoReportInterval to 10 seconds is: SOP Length PktType Lo MAC MAC Hi MAC Reg Bank Size Lo Val Val Val Hi Val 0xFB 0x0B 0x07 0x56 0x34 0x12 0x1C 0x06 0x04 0x10 0x27 0x00 0x00 The IoReportInterval parameter starts in location 0x1C of Bank 6. The report interval scaling is 1 ms/count, so a 10 second report interval is 10,000 units or 0x00002710 (Little-Endian format 10 27 00 00).

Technical support +1.678.684.2000 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 60 of 80 DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12 Preliminary There are three serial connectors and a power connector on the end of each interface board, as shown in Figure 8.4.4. The RJ-45 connector provides an RS232 interface to the DNT90P’s main serial port. The USB connector provides an optional interface to the radio’s main serial port. The RJ-11 connector provides an RS232 interface to the radio’s optional diagnostic port. The DNT90 Demo utility program runs on the radio’s main port. Figure 8.4.4 Many desktop PCs have a built-in serial port capable of operation at 9600 bps. The kit can be run satisfactorily at the 9600 bps data rate, but not at its fastest throughput. Use the RJ-45 to DB-9F cable assemblies for serial port operation. Optionally, the kit development boards can be run from USB ports. Plugging in the USB cable automatically switches operation from the RJ-45 connector. The USB interface is based on an FT232RL serial-toUSB converter IC manufactured by FTDI. The FT232RL driver files are located in the i386 and AMD64 folders on the kit CD, and the latest version of the drivers can downloaded from the FTDI website, www.ftdichip.com. The drivers create a virtual COM port on the PC. Power the Base using one of the supplied wall-plug power supplies. Next connect the Base to the PC with a USB cable. The PC will find the new USB hardware and open a driver installation dialog box. Enter the letter of the drive holding the kit CD and click Continue. The installation dialog will run twice to complete the FT232R driver installation. 8.5 DNT90 Utility Program The DNT90 utility program requires only one PC for initial kit operation and sensor applications (ADC, DAC and digital I/O). Two serial/USB ports are required for bidirectional serial communications. Section 8.6 below covers using the DNT90 Demo utility program for initial kit operation and familiarization. Section 8.6.1 covers serial message communication and radio configuration. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

Figure 8.8.1 DCD LED, D11, illuminates on a router or remote to indicate it is registered with its parent and can participate in RF communications. The DCD LED illuminates on the base when one or more routers or remotes are registered to it, unless the base has been configured to assert DCD on power up. In this case it will be on as long as the development board is powered. Activity LED, D10, illuminates when transmitting or receiving RF data. Power LED, D1, illuminates with the DNT90 and its interface board are powered. GPIO2 LED, D5, and GPIO3 LED, D4, can be controlled by configuring GPIO2 and GPIO3 as outputs on the DNT90. These LEDs are illuminated with a logic high signal. Figure 8.8.2 Figure 8.8.2 shows the connectors and switches to the right of the DNT90P mounting socket. JP3 and JP4 normally have shorting plugs installed as shown in Figure 8.8.2. JP3 connects ADC0 to the yellow potentiometer. Clockwise rotation of the potentiometer increases the voltage. JP4 connects ADC1 to a thermistor temperature sensor. The DNT90 has its own boot loader utility that allows the protocol firm- www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The boot loader is activated with a shorting plug on JP13. Pin strip J6 provides access to various DNT90 pins as shown on the silkscreen. Pressing switch SW3 will reset the DNT90P. Switch S4 is not used with the DNT90. Figure 8.8.3 Figure 8.8.3 shows the connectors to the left of the DNT90P mounting socket. Pressing switch SW1 switches GPIO0 from logic high to low, and pressing SW2 switches GPIO1 from logic high to low. The DNT90P interface board includes a 5 V regulator to regulate the input from the 9 V wall-plug power supply. Do not attempt to use the 9 V wall-plug power supply to power the DNT90P directly. The maximum allowed voltage input to the DNT90P is 5.5 V. www.RFM.com © 2010-2012 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

Make sure the host serial port settings match the DNT90 serial port settings. Can not enter protocol mode - make sure the host data rate is correct. The DNT90 defaults to 9.6 kbps. If using the EnterProtocolMode command, send the complete protocol format for this command. A remote never detects carrier (DCD) - check that the base is running, and that the remote’s SystemNwkID is the same as the base, and that the ParentNwkID parameter is the same as the base, or is set to 0xFF. Also make sure that the security keys are the same. Carrier is detected, but no data appears to be received - if /HOST_RTS is enabled, make sure it is asserted (logic low) to enable character flow from the DNT90. Range is extremely limited - this is usually a sign of a poor antenna connection or the wrong antenna. Check that the antenna is firmly connected. If possible, remove any obstructions near the antenna. 9.1 Diagnostic Port Commands The diagnostic port shares its RX and TX signal lines with the Activity and DCD indications, respectively. Consequently, the debug port feature must be enabled before being used (Bank 0xFF). The change must be saved and the module then needs to be reset for this to take effect. The diagnostic port is defaulted to 38.4 kbps, 8N1. The diagnostic port supports the following user commands: rbr- read a parameter register’s value from the module. rbw [ ] - write a parameter register’s value with a span of up to 3 bytes stat
