  • Page 10: Undec On

    For this reason we have added the option to enable receive of undecoded messages. This function is only to enable RFXCOM to add this new sensor type in the firmware if possible. If “undec on” is enabled in normal use the application will receive a lot of undecoded messages mostly as a result of RF noise or disturbed RF packets.

    After the connection the RFXmngr program transmits a Reset and Get Status command so that it will know the RFXtrx type and configuration settings: Transmitter protocols are always enabled but receiver protocols can be disabled.
