the whole network (broadcast). Furthermore, both radio modules provide the repeater function,
that allows to setup a flooding mesh network, where all messages are distributed throughout
the whole network.
In the sub-GHz proprietary module a so called "address mode" is configured to define which
network structure is used. The Thyone-I always runs a star network, but provides several
commands for the radio transmission of broadcast, multicast and unicast messages.

4.2.3.2 Radio settings

The radios of the sub-GHz proprietary module and Thyone-I are different, but have the same
options. Both contain
The so called "radio profiles" that allow to define the radio data rate and the resulting
transmission range.
The radio channels that define the frequencies that are used to transmit data via radio.
The TX power that define the transmission range and current consumption when trans-
mitting.
Thus, the behavior of both radios is the same, except of the used channel and data rate, and
the resulting range and current consumption.

4.2.4 Timing

Due to the higher data rate of the Thyone-I radio profiles, the time to transmit radio data is
shortened w.r.t. the sub-GHz proprietary module. Thus, the accelerated timing behavior
must be considered in the application.

4.2.5 Power saving modes

Both radio modules provide at least one sleep mode. It can be enabled by sending the respec-
tive command to the radio module. On both modules, the WAKE-UP pin is used to leave the
sleep mode again and enable the normal operation.

4.2.6 Boot mode

Both radio modules provide a so called "boot mode", that must be entered to enable the
firmware update via the UART interface. The boot mode is started by pulling the BOOT pin of
the radio module to the respective pin level during the reset. To do so, the level of the BOOT
pin must be
LOW on the Thyone-I.
HIGH on the sub-GHz proprietary module.
