PCR2 Command Line Interface 3.8

This manual relates to PCR2 Firmware V3.8.x

This manual describes the command line interface (CLI) of Parametric PCR2 Radar People Counters. The CLI is used to configure the devices once.

Older versions of this document:

• V3.5
• V3.4
• V3.3
• V3.2

After initial setup we recommend using LoRaWAN®Configuration Downlinks to change settings remotely. You can find more informations in the TCR Configuration Payload Description.

Terminal Emulator

We recommend using a terminal emulator such as Realterm to open the serial connection and send/receive commands.

Serial Port Settings

Use a USB cable with Micro-USB port to establish a connection between TCR’s CONFIG port and your PC.

Serial port settings:

• Baudrate: 19200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1

Terminal Emulator Settings:

• Append CRLF

Command Format

CR LF

Commands are always terminated by a CR and LF symbol. However, for the sake of simplicity, the description of the individual commands does not include it.

Return Values

Set commands and Get commands both return the parameters passed to the command. If a parameter is out of range, the return value is the default value. This can be used to check whether the parameter was stored correctly.

Example of a command with parameter out of range

set mode 9999
0

set mode 1
1
