  • Page 28 Set the serial link type : S215, Set the flow control type : S216, After each modification in the serial settings, the M868-TinyPlus will answer ‘OK’ with the current configuration, and the changes will be effective immediately after. The Serial parameters are preferably set in the following order : 1.
  • Page 29 2. Serial timeout : S214 The M868-TinyPlus is not able to know when a frame reception is finished on the serial link, but it needs this information to stop radio transmission in transparent mode, or to start sending data in the other modes.
  • Page 30 The other way will be controlled by the CTS signal entering the terminal. Software or Xon/Xoff (S216=1) : the M868-TinyPlus sends a Xoff character on the serial link to interrupt the transmission from the host, and a Xon character to resume. This control will only work from the M868- TinyPlus to the host.
  • Page 31 Set the random waiting time : S227 The Operating Mode parameters are preferably set in the following order : 1. Operating Mode : S220 This is the most significant register : it tells how the M868-TinyPlus must run. The available operating modes are : Value Mode...

    TinyOne Plus 868MHz Terminal User Guide 1vv0300826 Rev.3 – 14/01/2011 Network Configuration The configuration to use the M868-TinyPlus in Addressed Secured mode is done with the S25x registers. Through them, you can: Set the Network ID : S250, Set the Client Address : S252, Set the Network options : S255, Set a default address for transmission : S256.
  • Page 33 14/01/2011 Status answer (Bit 4, default 0) : defines if the M868-TinyPlus returns a transmission status after sending a frame. If set to 1 (no answer), the terminal will give no information if the frame has been received on the remote side or not.
