2 Overview

The RV-R50-E is a secure, high-performance,

long-range wireless base station used to

aggregate and control various Wireless

Devices (WD) in the field. This device

incorporates both a Base Station

Transceiver (BST) and a Base Station

controller (BSC). The BST is the actual

transceiver that transmits to and receives

from the various WDs. The BSC routes

messages and assigns various settings to the

WDs so they operate in harmony with the

rest of the system.

The Skyline Base Station can either act as the main data entry point to an application-level system or it

can use various backhaul methods to get the data where it needs to go.

For security, AES-128 encryption is available.

While easy to use out-of-the-box, the Skyline Base Station’s programmability makes it extremely

versatile. Most parameters may be reconfigured to optimize for specialized operations, extended range

or even higher data throughput.

4 Configuring the Skyline Base Station

4.1 Overview

The BSC can be configured in multiple ways:

Through the master gateway (preferred)

SSH (using Putty or a similar program)

o by connecting a PC and the Skyline to an Ethernet switch and creating a local network

o by WiFi if this optional hardware is added at purchase

By connecting an HDMI cable and keyboard to the ports on the rear of the Skyline

Using either of these methods will bring up the command line interface of the Linux computer running

the BSC. From there, the BSC command line can be accessed as described below in the section titles

“Accessing the BSC Command Line”.

From the BSC command line, it is then possible to access the actual hardware radio modem (BST)

command line as described in the section “BST Pass-Through Mode”.

Once connected to the BST, the incoming data will be seen on the screen as it is received. In all Raveon

radios, there is a “Command Mode” where certain registers and features of the radio can be queried

and set. This operation is explained below in the section “BST Command Mode”.

The modem also supports Raveon’s Wireless Modem Exchange (WMX) protocol for commanding and

messaging. WMX is ideal for fully automated control and tighter integration. For more information, see

the WMX Protocol Description document and the Raveon Tech Note “Rapid Radio Configuration using

WMX”.

WARNING: as shown above, there are multiple levels of access provided by this system. Be very careful

to properly end each session as you back out of the various layers.

4.1 Login and Passwords The following accounts are available by default. When remoting in, the serial number can be found by

first logging in as the “dart” account and reading it off the command line prompt. Use the “dart” login as

default, user’s should not be logging in with “root”.

4.2 Accessing the BSC Command Line

4.2.1 Accessing the BSC command line The BSC command line may be accessed using any Telnet client when connected to either the local BSC

network or the BSC-Master gateway network. When connected to the local BSC-BST network, the IP

address of the base station will be 10.10.1.1 (localhost). The procedure below will assume a connection

to the local BSC-BST network.

1. Set the IP of the PC appropriately if connecting to the local BSC-BST network.

2. Plug the PC and the BSC into a switch

3. Telnet to the BSC at 10.10.1.1 (localhost) port 2323. If successful, the prompt “DARTBSC:” will appear

telnet localhost 2323 - connects to BSC command-line interface

4. Type commands to execute them. The command line supports tab-completion. A full list of

commands can be seen by hitting tab with a blank line or by typing help. Any command will provide a brief help if run as <command>?

4.2.2 Exiting the BSC command line To exit from the BSC command line back to the Linux command line, use the exit command.

4.2.3 Third party terminal applications A third party terminal application may be used to connect to

the command line of the BSC. Programs such as Putty will

allow an SSH connection into the command line of the BSC.

1. Make sure the computer used to connect is on the

same network as the R50 and is set to an IP address

that will work on the network.

2. Open Putty.

3. Set the Host Name to the IP address of the BSC.

4. Use PuTTy and SSH to connect on port 22.

4.3 BST Pass-Through Mode

Once connected to the BSC command line, it is possible to access the hardware radio modem by using

the following commands:


11

channel - shows connections to BST

modcmd 101 - pass-through mode to BST command line channel 101

channel will show the available ports and some basic message statistics. Channel 101 is typically used

if there is only one radio. Channels 201, 301, etc. will be used if there are multiple BSTs.

modcmd + the channel number enters pass-through mode which allows interaction with the BST

command line interface. From here, the user can see messages being received by the radio or can enter

command mode as explained below in the section “BST Command Mode”.

To exit from BST pass-through mode back into BSC command line, use the ctrl-c key combination.

4.4 BST Command Mode

4.4.1 Command Mode Encoding and Line Format In Command Mode, all characters are ASCII encoded. All output lines will use the standard network line

ending, CR+LF (ASCII 0x0D followed by ASCII 0x0A).

Inputs lines may use either CR, LF or CR+LF line endings.

4.4.2 Entering Command Mode The modem may be put into a Command Mode, by entering a sequence of three plus characters (+++), called the Entry Sequence from the BST pass-through mode explained in the previous section. To keep the modem from unintentionally entering the Command Mode because of the Entry Sequence occurring in a stream of data entering the modem, there must be a pause in the data stream before the Entry Sequence as well as a pause afterwards. If either pause is missing, the modem will not enter the command mode. The pause length is configurable, by default it is 500ms.


12

To enter command mode from the BST pass-through mode, type +++ quickly and you will see the following screen:

4.4.3 Using Commands To execute a command, send the command name and any parameters separated by spaces, followed by

a line ending. For example, to use the ATDT command to set the destination address to 1234, send:

ATDT 1234<LF>

Some commands may output result information on lines following the command, but the output will

always terminate with either the OK sequence (introduced in the previous section) or the ERROR

sequence (ERROR<CR><LF>).

Some commands may have different results depending on the number of parameters. In general, a

command that sets a parameter(s) can read back its values by issuing the command with no parameters.

To get on-line help with a command, enter the command with a question mark at the end.

To see a list of all commands, use the HELP command.

4.4.4 Exiting Command Mode To exit command mode and return to data mode, use the exit command.


13

Make sure to exit command mode before returning to BST pass-through mode, otherwise the radio

will not pass the required data through the system until command mode times out.

Alternatively, command mode will timeout after a configurable amount of time, by default 60 seconds.

4.5 BMX Commands

Use BMX commands when talking to the Base Station Controller (BSC) through the command line. See

Raveon’s BMX protocol document for a full list of commands.

4.6 Transceiver Command-Line Commands

Most of the operation with regards to the built-in transceiver are automatic within the system.

However, if the user wishes to access the Base Station Transceiver (BST) command line, as explained

above, it is possible to access various commands/settings pertaining to the transceiver. Please see “RV-

R50_Skyline_Programming_Manual” for a full list of commands.

5 Operational Modes and Parameters

5.1 Modes

5.1.1 LoRaLite In LoRaLite mode, the R50 will operate in a proprietary, decentralized, 1-3 channel frequency-agile

manner. This unique feature allows networks of R50 and M50 (Daisy) radios to operate with no central

network controller and no requirement that all radios are in range of each other. This enables the

reliability of multiple channels in the ISM band while allowing free-form network architectures as

required.

In LoRaLite mode, a number of configuration options are selectable:

1. Channel frequencies

2. Channel bandwidth

3. Channel data rate

To configure any individual channel, issue ATHP <channel>, where <channel> ranges from 1-3 to select

the channel. ATH will list the configuration of all channels. Once a channel to configure is selected, the

commands below will modify the parameters of the channel.

FCC regulations require that the R50/M50 not allow certain modes of operation. If the radio is placed in

a non-compliant configuration, this will be indicated upon entering Command Mode or when issuing the

SHOW command. The SHOW or ATH commands will detail what action was taken to correct the non-

compliant configuration.

5.1.2 Dart Dart is Raveon’s custom protocol meant for highly reliable, secure private networks. See the Dart

Protocol Specification for more details regarding this mode.


14

5.1.3 LoRaWAN LoRaWAN is a wide area network standard designed by the LoRa Aliiance. The aim of LoRaWAN is to

create a worldwide network standard which any LoRa-enabled devices can communicate. The R50 is

fully compliant with the LoRaWAN Specification 1.0.1 classes A, B and C. This means that the R50 can be

used with existing LoRaWAN compliant hardware and can be substituted or replaced by any LoRaWAN

compliant (specification 1.0.1) base station.

5.1.3.1 Class A

LoRaWAN class A is meant for battery-powered wireless devices and is the lowest power mode of

LoRaWAN. In this class, end nodes transmit at random intervals, on random channels and at various

BAUD rates to reduce the number of collisions. This random nature results in an even distribution of

bandwidth usage across the band. Each end node chooses a random transmit interval and then listens at

2 highly accurate receive times which are based off the end of the transmit packet. Typically, this

interval is 1 second. i.e. one end node finished transmission and opens up a receive slot exactly 1 second

later. If this radio does not receive a packet in this first reception window, it then opens a receive

window exactly 1 second later.

5.1.3.2 Class B

LoRaWAN class B is meant for beacon receive window management. This means that the base station

sends out a beacon to sync all of the wireless devices to listen at the same time for a reception. If an end

node has data to transmit, it completes the transmission at a random interval after the end of this

reception.

5.1.3.3 Class C

In LoRaWAN class C operation, each wireless device is constantly receiving. This mode provides more

flexibility with base station transmissions as it can receive at any time; there is no special window which

the base station has to transmit in.

5.2 Channel Frequency Plan

For the ISM band in North America, channel center frequency may be set between 902.5 - 927.8MHz for

125kHz channels and between 902.7 - 927.5MHz for 500kHz channels. Note also that a frequency

separation of 600kHz is enforced for 500kHz channels and 200kHz for 125kHz channels.

5.2.1 LoRaLite LoRaLite uses a 3-channel hopping plan incorporating 2 125kHz channels and 1 500kHz channel. The

specific channels can be set to any frequencies in the “LoRaLite Channel Plan” document but all radios in

the network must share the same frequencies. To keep it easy, the LoRaLite channels can be set with a

single command (A-Z) which will automatically load the 3 frequencies for that group.

To completely disable a channel, set ATFX 0. Note that disabling a channel will cause non-compliant

configurations if 125kHz channels are in use. All three channels must be enabled if 125kHz channels are

in use, and exactly two channels must be 125kHz.


15

5.2.2 LoRaLite Star LoRa Lite Star is a protocol designed to work in a star network topology with many Daisy radios

communicating with a central base station.

The uplink randomly transmits on 9 channels which matches the first bank of the LoRaWAN frequencies,

that is 8 125kHz channels from 902.3MHz-903.7MHz and 1 500kHz channel at 903MHz. The downlink

uses a single 500kHz channel set at 923.3MHz. Other banks can be used as well.

The radios operate similar to a LoRaWAN class C radio, i.e. they transmit when they have data to send

and otherwise are always receiving.

Spread Factor is configurable.

5.2.3 LoRaWAN

5.3 Channel Bandwidth and Transmit Power

In Dart and LoRaLite modes (LoRaWAN sets these parameters automatically), channel bandwidth is set

with ATBW <bandwidth>, where <bandwidth> is set according to the table below:

ATBW Setting Channel Bandwidth Transmit Power

0 125kHz 27dBm

2 500kHz 16dBm

To comply with FCC regulations, 125kHz channels may only be used if exactly one 500kHz channel and

exactly two 125kHz channels are in use.

5.3.1 Channel Data Rate For LoRaLite mode, the channel data rate is set with ATR2 <rate>, where <rate> is set according to the

table below. ATSF accomplishes the same function in LoRa Star mode.

ATR2/ATSF Setting Bit Rate for 125kHz Channels Bit Rate for 500kHz Channels

6 9.37 kbps 37.50 kbps

7 5.46 kbps 21.87 kbps

8 3.12 kbps 12.50 kbps

9 1.75 kbps 7.03 kbps

10 3.90 kbps

11 2.14 kbps

12 1.17 kbps

Note that adjusting data rate will affect maximum allowable packet size.

5.3.2 Channel Occupancy Regardless of the number of channels employed, a channel may not be used for longer than 400mS in a

period of 400mS * channel count, to comply with FCC 15.247(f). The modem automatically enforces this,

and may temporarily delay a transmission to comply as needed.


16

5.4 Device Addressing

5.4.1 ID Addressing Basics ID addressing is used to differentiate one modem from another. Each must have a unique number

programmed into them, so that when a position report is received, the modem that sent the message

can be identified. This is called the MYID of the unit that sent the message.

Each modem has a MYID programmed into it, and is represented as a 4 digit hexadecimal number.

Addresses between 0001-FFFF are valid. The Unit Address is programmed with the MYID xxxx

command, and the ID of the destination modem it sends its messages to (the Destination Address) is

configured with the ATDT xxxx command.

The factory default MYID in all modems is 1234, and 1234 is also the default for the Destination ID also.

The default Address Mask is F000, which means the modem will receive a transmission from any other

modem as long as the first digit of the destination address matches, in this case, is a 1.

Make sure you set the MYID of each modem in your system to a different number.

For example, to set the ID of your modem to 17, enter:

MYID 17 <enter>

To set your modem to send its position and status data to modem number 1, enter:

ATDT 1 <enter>

To set your address mask to receive all messages from units with IDs 1-999, and exclude 1000-9999,

enter

ATMK F000 <enter>

6 Data Handling

6.1 Data Transmission

To transmit data, use the proper BMX command (See Raveon’s BMX protocol document for a full list of

commands and syntax). When a full packet of data has been collected into the internal buffer of the

modem; there is a pause in the data per ATR3; or the maximum packet size is reached, the modem will

automatically key its transmitter, and send the data over the air.

6.2 Data Reception

When the modem receives data over the air, it checks it for errors, and if it is error-free, it will be

received by the R50. There are a few ways to access this incoming data as described below.


17

6.2.1 Master Gateway The ideal method to capture the data from an R50 Base Station is by means of the Master Gateway. The

Master Gateway can be configured to route incoming messages various output streams as needed.

6.2.2 BST Pass-Through mode To view the raw data being received, enter BST pass-through mode as described above. This will allow

access to the BST incoming messages which can be viewed and copied elsewhere.

7 Configuration

7.1 Network Configuration

7.1.1 Cigorn Command Panel Cigorn is the brains behind the master gateway. Many settings and parameters can be controlled

through the web user-interface which is shown below.

7.1.2 JSON Interface The R50 has a JSON interface which can be queried to return a number of responses. There are also a

handful of built-in queries such as lists of all BSCs and WDs, system information and various logs.


18

8 Commands

8.1 Status and Statistics Commands

See “RV_R50_Skyline_Programming_Manual” for a full list of commands.

9 Troubleshooting

9.1 Symptom: Unit will not receive

Solution #1: (LoRaLite and Dart modes only) Verify that the unit is on the correct RF channel. If it is, the

Status LED should blink green every time another modem tries to transmit to it. If the Status LED does

not blink when it should be receiving, it is on the wrong RF frequency. (LoRaWAN mode only) Verify that

the unit is set to the correct band. LoRaWAN specifies 8 bands within the 902-928MHz ISM spectrum. An

R50 can only operate on one band at a time. Use the ATBW command to verify this parameter.

Solution #2: (LoRaLite and Dart modes only) If the Status LED blinks green, verify that the Unit Address

of the sending modem matches the unit address of the receiving modem. If this is OK, verify that the

over-the-air baud rate of all modems is the same (ATR2 command).

Solution #3: Verify the KEYPHRASE is correct. If encryption is used, the KEYPHRASE is set to a unique

word, and must be the same in all radios in the system. If it is not used in the radio system, then the


19

KEYPHRASE in all units must be disabled or left at the factory default. To disable encryption, use the

KEYPHRASE 0 command. The factory default KEYPHRASE is RAVEON, in all capital letters.

9.2 Symptom: Receive light blinks, but no data is received

9.3 Symptom: Long delay before transmitting

Solution #1: Verify that serial port timeout is OK. The ATR3 command sets the number of milliseconds

that the modem will look for in the serial input data stream. If a pause greater than this value happens,

the modem will transmit. If the ATG0 parameter is set very large, say 2000, this means 2 seconds, and

the modem may simply be waiting a long time. Typical settings for this parameter are 20 (20mS).
