Note: MultiTech provides a web-based console at console.radiobridge.com for configuring and monitoring devices. We recommend using this console rather than the protocols defined in this section.
  • Page 12: Reset Message 0X00

    COMMON MESSAGES Message Payload Description 0xfb Link quality Sent after each downlink configuration (refer to Link Quality Message) or to periodically ping the network server (refer to Link Quality Check Period). 0xfe Reserved. 0xff 1-byte status Downlink message ACK. Refer to Downlink ACK for more detail.
  • Page 13 COMMON MESSAGES Bytes Description Sensor type code, a product identifier sent as part of the reset message. Door/Window 0x01 Door/Window High Security 0x02 Contact 0x03 Temperature No-Probe 0x04 Temperature External Probe 0x05 Single Push Button 0x06 Dual Push Button 0x07 Acceleration-Based 0x08 Movement...
  • Page 14 COMMON MESSAGES Bytes Description Firmware version. Reset code. Used for factory diagnostics. Firmware Version The 16-bit firmware version is constructed from reset payload Bytes 2-3, where Byte 2 is the most significant byte. Beginning with version 2.0, the format is as shown in the following table. The original format is compatible by redefining the reserved most significant bit (Bit 15).
  • Page 15: Supervisory Message 0X01

    COMMON MESSAGES Supervisory Message 0x01 Wireless sensors periodically send a supervisory message so the backend system can verify the device is still alive and report error conditions. The supervisory message payload include current sensor status. You can also trigger a supervisory message. To do this: Place a magnet near the triangular notch on the side of the sensor.
  • Page 16: Downlink Messages

    COMMON MESSAGES Bytes Description Current Sub-Band, sub-band currently joined and used for communication to the gateway and network server. Value ranges from 1-8 for US915. For other regions, value depends on available channels. RSSI of last DOWNLINK received, signed integer format values in bytes 1 and 2 in two’s complement format.
  • Page 17 COMMON MESSAGES Radio Config The following table shows the radio config byte definition. Note: Available in firmware version 1.4 or newer. Bits Description Not used (reserved) Enable duty cycle requirement. LoRaWAN EU868 only. To enforce the EU868 band duty cycle requirements, enable before production deployment.

    COMMON MESSAGES Bit 7:6 Bits 5:0 Sampling period defined in increments of 250ms (0.25-15 seconds). Sampling period defined in increments of seconds (1-63 seconds). Sampling period defined in increments of minutes (1-63 minutes). Sampling period defined in increments of hours (1-63 hours). Advanced Configuration Use this command for advanced configuration parameters that apply to all sensor types.
  • Page 19: Downlink Ack

    COMMON MESSAGES Downlink ACK The cloud app uses this downlink ACK message to verify the that sensor received the downlink message received and it was considered valid. The sensor replies to the downlink data with a 0xFF message (downlink ACK) with the payload shown in the following table.
