CLI Command radioSettings.beaconInterval=
ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T Description The beaconInterval controls how often a Gateway radio sends out a beacon packet and changes to the next radio frequency in the hopping pattern. l A longer beaconInterval gives the system better throughput in channel environments where interference is minimal. l 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:
l TWENTY_FIVE_MS l FIFTY_MS l ONE_HUNDRED_MS l TWO_HUNDRED_MS l FOUR_HUNDRED_MS Example: radioSettings.beaconInterval=FIFTY_MS. Note: The default value is FOUR_HUNDRED_MS.

CLI Command radioSettings.frequencyKey=
Description 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. l The Frequency Key setting boundaries are 0 (zero) to 31. l When a hop table loads, the Frequency Key is adjusted to whatever is available in the actual hop table. l An invalid frequency setting is determined by being outside of the specified range. l If an invalid frequency setting is found, the Frequency Key is NOT changed. l A frequency setting can also be invalid if the Frequency Key setting is larger than the number of hopping tables for a specific rfDataRate. In that case, the Frequency Key is set to 0 (zero). l l settings at 1M rfDataRate, it looks like any invalid setting will not change the frequency key for any type of error --- This came from John's edits - does it need to be included here for Thor A?
l The options are Key0 (zero) to Key23. TRUE?
Note: The default value is Key0 (zero). Page 24 of 40 LUM0075AA Rev May-2016 This document is the property of FreeWave Technologies, Inc. and contains proprietary information owned by FreeWave.

CLI Command radioSettings.frequencyMasks=
ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T Description Frequency Masks are used to mask off frequencies or a set of frequencies in a hop table. l The format for single channels is:
frequencyMasks=xxx.yyyy,xxx.yyyy,xxx.yyyy. l Example: frequencyMasks=903.0000,908.0000,925.0000. l The format for a range of channels is:
frequencyMasks=xxx.yyyy-xxx.yyyy,xxx.yyyy. l Example: frequencyMasks=902.1000-905.1000,920.1000-
927.9000 l The format for a combination of channels is:
l frequencyMasks=902.1000-905.1000,920.1000-
927.9000,915.0200 Where:
l xxx is a value between 902-927. l 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.

ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T Settings and Descriptions radioSettings - ZumLink Settings and Descriptions Page CLI Command Description 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. l Errors occur when masking reduces the number of frequencies below regulatory minimums. l For channel sizes < 500kHz, the radio must frequency hop. l l If the number of channels is >= 50, the maximum transmit output power is 30dBm. If the number of channels is < 50, the transmit output power is 24dBm. l This does NOT apply for channel sizes greater than 500 kHz which can operate single channel or frequency hopping. Notes l 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. l l 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. Page 26 of 40 LUM0075AA Rev May-2016 This document is the property of FreeWave Technologies, Inc. and contains proprietary information owned by FreeWave.

CLI Command radioSettings.lnaBypass=
ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T Description The lnaBypass setting controls enabling and disabling the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which can boost the receive signal by 10dB. l The options are 0 (zero) and 1. l When the lnaBypass=1, the LNA of the radio module is bypassed. If lnaBypass=0, the LNA is enabled. If lnaBypass=<anything but 0> it is set to 1. l l 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).

CLI Command radioSettings.radioFrequency=
Description Note: This is a ZumLink Golden Setting. This setting designates the Operating Center Frequency in MHz. l The radioFrequency parameter ONLY takes effect when radioHoppingMode=Hopping_Off. l All radios in a network must have the same frequency. l If the radioFrequency parameter is set too close to the band edge for the current rfDataRate, the radio module will reject the setting. Read back this value after setting it to determine if it was accepted by the radio module. Valid boundaries are:
l 4M data rate: 904.5504 - 925.7472 MHz l 1M data rate: 903.0528 - 927.0144 MHz l 500K data rate: 902.7072 - 927.3600 MHz l 250K data rate: 902.5344 - 927.4176 MHz l 115.2K data rate: 902.4768 - 927.5904 MHz Note: The default value is 915.0000.

CLI Command radioSettings.radioHoppingMode=
Description Note: This is a ZumLink Golden Setting. ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T 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. l For rfDataRate values >= 500kbps, the choice of hopping mode should be selected based on network frequency planning and channel conditions. l For rfDataRate values < 500kbs, radioHoppingMode is forced On. The options are:
l Hopping_Off l Hopping_On Example: radioSettings.radioHoppingMode=Hopping_On. Note: The default value is Hopping_Off. This setting designates the device as a Gateway or Endpoint unit. l Each network MUST have only ONE Gateway unit. l The remaining units MUST be configured as Endpoints. l The Gateway device will always have a nodeId of value 1. Note: The default value is Endpoint.

CLI Command radioSettings.rfDataRate=
Description Note: This is a ZumLink Golden Setting. This setting defines the RF link data rate speed in bits per second. l A higher RF link data rate provides more throughput at the expense of link distance or fade margin. l 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. l The communication range is dependent on the rfDataRate setting. l The min value increases and the max value decreases as the rfDataRate increases. l 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:
l RATE_4M l RATE_1M l RATE_500K l RATE_250K l RATE_115.2K Note: The default value is RATE_1M.
