Note: after doing this I found you should be able to change the Device ID directly via the serial connection to the device using the AT command ATMY, so I guess that would be ATMYEB here.
You have to send an ack from the control node (usually your PC) within 1/10s of the a–STARTED– message showing up to config a LLAP node. That’s way too fast for me to type. I used Teraterm (the BSD licensed V4.75), which is a SSH and serial terminal program. It also supports scripting, and I used a previous version years and years ago in the old Win95 days.
Here’s a teraterm script to switch ORIGID to DEVID. Start Teraterm connected to your FTDI USB port
Power up a XRF on an XBBO board and connect to it via serial. Once it’s running and in range, ie you see the
a--STARTED--
message repeated five times when you power up your remote device, power off the device you want to configure. Start the macro,
Here’s the macro
; start of macro DEVID="EB" ORIGID="--" dispstr #$1B"[2J" wait "a"ORIGID"STARTED" dispstr 10 13 "a"ORIGID"ACK------" send "a"ORIGID"ACK------" pause 2 dispstr 10 13 "a"ORIGID"CHDEVID"DEVID send "a"ORIGID"CHDEVID"DEVID wait "a"ORIGID"CHDEVID"DEVID dispstr 10 13 "a"ORIGID"REBOOT---" send "a"ORIGID"REBOOT---" wait "a"DEVID"STARTED--" dispstr 10 13 "a"DEVID"STARTED--" ; end of macro
Your device should be set to the new DEVID
