The ZAURA RF Wireless Module console features two modes of opera-
tion: Command Mode and Data Mode. By default, the console is config-
ured for Command Mode, meaning that characters received over UART0
are processed by the local command interpreter. However, when the con-
sole is switched to Data Mode via this command, data received over
UART0 is transmitted to the default ZAURA RF Wireless Module target
address (DST command). If the remote device is also operating in data
mode, it sends the data received from the radio over UART0. This action
allows bridging to/from the local UART via RF to/from the remote
UART, e.g.:
Local UART  RF  remote UART
To exit Data Mode and return to Command Mode, press the two consecu-
tive escape characters.
The default ZAURA RF configuration file uses ++ as the escape sequence, but the
value of the ZAURA_RF_DataEscChar variable can be modified to specify a dif-
ferent escape character.


While the ZAURA RF Wireless Module console operates in Data Mode, the com-
mand interpreter is still able to process commands issued from remote nodes.
