"TRNS": data transmission, when the need to pass through the address configuration, namely the destination address. "AT": protocol format reference "Lora AT commands manual",usually used for parameter configuration and manual testing. "API": serial data must be based on a certain data format for sending and receiving, protocol format reference "Lora API commands manual". The maximum length is 100 bytes. Default: TRNS 3.3.3 ID Set the module ID, configurable range 0~65535. 3.3.4 working frequency Module data transmission frequency, different hardware modules can work different frequency bands,Typical operating frequency band is 903-927 MHz, 1000 kHz spacing for a channel. Different application areas have different frequency band restrictions, as well as different channel interference factors, the error rate is different, so need to adjust the value according to the actual situation. The default value is 903. 3.3.5 Relay address When the transmission distance between nodes is too far, this parameter is set to the relay node’ ID, and the relay node will help the node forward the data to the final destination node. Default: 1000 3.3.6 sleep mode When the device is in low power mode, can be set to NONE(not dormant), TIME(timing dormant) and DEEP(deep sleep). Regular sleep, you need to configure the "wake up time"and "sleep time"; the depth of dormancy, only through the IO1 pin to wake up. Default: NONE In regular sleep, keep the device wake-up time, unit MS, when the device wake up super this time will go to sleep.
