CONVERTER OPERATION IN THE TRANSPARENT MODE

For enable using converter in conjunction with various software systems dispatching of
meters and industrial equipment, there is added ability to work in a transparent mode. In this
mode, the converter operates as a simple communication channel between the LoRaWAN
network and connected external device. M-BUS-1 can receive data from the LoRaWAN network
for external devices and transfer them to the M-BUS interface without any processing. If the
external device responds to the request, the converter sends the received data back to the
network, also without processing, as one or more packets.
Thus, in transparent mode, the converter does not form a request and does not process
the response from the metering device. The duty to form requests and analyze the responses
lies entirely on the external application that works with M-BUS-1 through the LoRaWAN
network.
The converter must be powered by the external power supply while operating in the
transparent mode (operate as a class C LoRaWAN device).

CONNECTING VIA USB

The device M-BUS-1 adjusted with the "Vega LoRaWAN Configurator" application (See
part 4).
Before connecting the device to the computer for the first time, you must install the
driver for the COM port stsw-stm32102, which can be downloaded from iotvega.com. After
