Chapter 3 Configuration
3.1
Configure connection
In the Lora digital transmission terminal configuration, the need to pass the factory
configuration RS232 serial cable or RS232-485 conversion line Lora data transmission terminal
and configured to connect the PC together, as follows:
Figure 3-1 F8L10T configuration connection with PC
3.2
Introduction of parameter configuration
F8L10T parameter configuration in two ways:
Through the Four-Faith configuration software LoRaConfig: all configuration is
configured with the corresponding entry software interface, this configuration is only
suitable for professional Installer to facilitate the configuration of PC Case.
By extending the at command (hereinafter referred to as the AT command) way to
deploy: in this configuration, the professional Installer only needs to have the serial
communication program can configure all parameters such as F8L10T, windows of
the super terminal, Linux minicom, putty, or directly by the user's SCM system to
node configuration. In the use of extended at command to configure F8L10T to bring
F8L10T into the configuration state.
Among them, AT command configuration can refer to "AT command manual".
Configure the f8l10t parameters by configuration software, as shown in Figure 3-2.

3.3.2
serial port work mode
Module serial data work can be divided into "TRNS","AT" and "API".
"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.
