To view the list of commands through HyperTerminal, type ?or HELP at the command
prompt, and then press ENTER.
Table 3. Command Summary.
Command Action/Description
?orHELP Displays the command menu.
SCAN Scans the WFLN for all wireless devices.
CONFIG Displays the configuration properties.
DIAG Displays diagnostic information.
CLEAR Resets device diagnostic counts to zero.
BINDING Displays the binding table.
COST Displays the link costs.
LQI Displays the link quality of the last hop of a message path.
RSSI Displays the received signal strength values for the last hop of a

Command Syntax
For most of the TLX commands, you can apply the command specifically to the TLX, FPX, or FLNX. For
example: CONFIG TLX, CONFIG FPX, CONFIG FLNX #.
When querying an FLNX, you can use either the FLN device address (drop 0 to 98) or the device Ember
User Identification Number (EUID). For example:
•CONFIGFLNXx(where xis the FLN device address (drop)), such as CONFIG FLNX 12.
•CONFIGFLNXy(where yis the FLNX EUID), such as CONFIG FLNX 000D6F0000055F9D.
You can use a partial EUID to query an FLNX (for example, CONFIG FLNX 5F9D).
The TLX will search for a unique match for the character sequence. Generally, use at
least the last four characters of the EUID and use an even number of characters. If you
receive an error, try the command again using additional characters from the EUID.
You can view the EUIDs of all the FLNXs through the SCAN command. Usually, you need to use the EUID
only if the FLNX is attached to an FLN device that has not been addressed (listed as FLNX-99 in the scan
report) or the FLNX does not have an attached FLN device (listed as FLNX-??).

Network Information Commands
The following sections provide detailed information about the SCAN, CONFIG, BINDING, RSSI, COST,
and LQI commands.
Scanning for Devices (SCAN)
Always start a TLX session with the SCAN command. The TLX scans the WFLN for devices and
establishes sequenced messaging connections to the devices. A scan report shows which FPX and
FLNXs are currently powered up, have the same Channel and Network ID settings, and are able to
communicate wirelessly with the TLX. The scan also shows which FLNXs have attached FLN devices
that are powered up and have been assigned an FLN (drop) address, including any addresses that are
duplicates. Also, if multiple FPXs incorrectly have the same Channel and Network ID settings, they are
described as such in the scan results.
To scan for devices:
Type SCAN, and then press ENTER.
The following example shows what is displayed after the TLX finishes a scan.

Viewing Signal Strength (RSSI)
Use the RSSI command to view the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value for the last hop
of received messages. This command provides information for both the strength of the last received
message and average strength of all messages received in the past 60 seconds. The RSSI value includes
the WFLN signal and any received interference signal.
For good communication, the values will usually be negative numbers and greater than –50. Greater
values indicate stronger received signal strengths. Positive values are also possible. A value of –128
indicates no signal was detected.
To view the node’s signal strength:
1. Type one of the following:
•RSSITLX
• RSSI FPX
•RSSIFLNXx(where xis the FLN device address (drop))
•RSSIFLNXy(where yis the FLNX EUID)

Viewing Cost Values (COST)
Use the COST command to view total cost values for the message paths between a node and the TLX,
FPX, and/or FLNXs. A cost value of 1 is the lowest and best value; although cost values of 5 can still
indicate good communication. Generally, the higher the cost value, the more likely there will be wireless
communication errors.
Cost values are affected by the following:
•Number of hops involved in communications with another device—A cost value shown by the
TLX reflects the sum of the costs associated with each hop in the message path.
•Reliability of communication in each hop—Greater reliability results in lower cost values.
Figure 7 shows an example of cost values for two FLNXs that communicate with an FPX.

Diagnostic Commands
You can use the TLX to get diagnostic information such as channel energy values and the number of
incomplete messages. This diagnostic information can help you troubleshoot during and after startup if
communication problems occur. The following sections provide detailed information about the ENERGY,
DIAG, CLEAR, and REBOOT commands.
Viewing Channel Energy Values (ENERGY)
You can use the ENERGY command to view the current RF energy values of each of the 16 available
wireless FLN channels. This is useful information during WFLN startup for deciding which channel to use
or troubleshooting communication problems. Prior to powering up the FLNXs and FPXs, the RF energy
value should be less than 60 (hexadecimal) on the Channel selected for the WFLN.
Energy values of approximately 40 indicate no RF energy was detected on the channel. Energy values
of approximately 60 to 80 indicate active RF energy, such as from the WLAN or an 802.11 wireless
Ethernet network.
To view the RF energy values of the channels:
1. Type ENERGY TLX, and then press ENTER.
2. After the energy scan is complete, run the SCAN command to rebuild the TLX binding table.
This command will take about five minutes to complete. While the TLX is scanning the
channels, the LED will be yellow and blinking.
With the WFLN powered up, the RF energy value should be between 60 and 80 (between 6xand 8x,
where x= 0–9 or A–F).
The following example shows data from an energy scan.
