After the pinned commit¶

MAIN · CAD · FEM GAIN · EXTRA SF · ETHERNET

The rest of this section is pinned to 03b6ef4. More commands were added to main after that. They are listed here separately, so that anyone running newer firmware does not miss them, without letting go of the pin.

[!WARNING] Not verified against the pin. This page was checked against main at commit 0679dbe, 24 August 2026 — files src/helpers/CommonCLI.cpp, src/helpers/nrf52/EthernetCLI.h, examples/simple_repeater/MyMesh.cpp, examples/simple_room_server/MyMesh.cpp, examples/simple_sensor/SensorMesh.cpp, and the official docs/cli_commands.md at that commit. main changes constantly; check this against the firmware you run. The list can be reproduced with tools/cli-commands.py and a second checkout.

Overview¶

Command	Source at `0679dbe`	Condition	In official documentation
`get cad` / `set cad <on\\|off>`	`CommonCLI.cpp` r.470, r.818	—	yes
`get radio.fem.rxgain` / `set radio.fem.rxgain <on\\|off>`	`CommonCLI.cpp` r.544, r.847	board with controllable FEM	yes
`get radio.fem.txgain` / `set radio.fem.txgain <on\\|off>`	`CommonCLI.cpp` r.566, r.853	board with controllable FEM	yes
`get extra.sf` / `set extra.sf <sf>[,<sf>…]`	`CommonCLI.cpp` r.780, r.976	`set`: `USE_LR2021`	no
`eth.status`	`nrf52/EthernetCLI.h` r.89	`ETHERNET_ENABLED`	yes

Commands¶

cad¶

Hardware Channel Activity Detection before transmitting. on switches it on, any other value off. All three roles set the default to off (simple_repeater/MyMesh.cpp r.909, simple_room_server/MyMesh.cpp r.667, SensorMesh.cpp r.731). According to the official documentation it is independent of int.thresh. This is not certified LBT; the duty cycle limit still applies, see Regulations & Duty Cycle.

Example:

set cad on
  -> OK
get cad
  -> > on

radio.fem.rxgain¶

The LNA of an external front-end module (FEM), separate from radio.rxgain. Without a controllable FEM the reply is Error: unsupported; a value other than on/off gives Error: state must be on or off. Default on in all three roles (for example simple_room_server/MyMesh.cpp r.684).

Example:

set radio.fem.rxgain on
  -> OK - LoRa FEM RX gain on

radio.fem.txgain¶

The same for the FEM's transmit gain. Default off (simple_room_server/MyMesh.cpp r.685). The official documentation names the Station G3 as an example and warns that the selected level must comply with local limits.

Example:

get radio.fem.txgain
  -> Error: unsupported

extra.sf¶

Not in the official documentation. set exists only in builds with USE_LR2021 and takes up to three extra spreading factors, separated by commas; the reply is OK - extra SFs set or Invalid extra SF config. get shows the list or No extra SF configured.

Example:

get extra.sf
  -> No extra SF configured

eth.status¶

Status of the Ethernet connection on nRF52 boards with Ethernet. The reply is ETH: not connected or the IP address with the TCP port for the CLI, 23 by default (nrf52/EthernetCLI.h r.21).

Example:

eth.status
  -> ETH: not connected
