However, if your documentation mentions RTW or you have an ASA motor then select the RTW protocol. The protocol and the radio type that you set here will be the values that are used as the default when you add a new shade. You will have the opportunity to set these for each individual motor later, but you should set this here so you do not have to select it with each new shade you have. If you have motors on different protocols you can set them up for each protocol so long as they are using the same base frequency.
There is one final way to verify the protocol settings. You can view the log while pressing a button on a working remote. This will tell you how many bits it is sending and which protocol dialect it is speaking. By viewing the `Bits` column you can see what the incoming signal from that remote is using. For instance, a 56-bit RTS signal will be `56-S` and an 80-bit RTS signal will be `80-S`. If the protocol is RTW then the `-S` will be replaced with `-W` and if the protocol is RTV then the `-S` will be replaced with `-V`.
Next review each of the pin selectors and set them to the proper pin assignment for your wiring. The screen will default to the default wiring from the hardware build but please double check to ensure these values match the way you wired the transceiver. If you used a wired Ethernet board these will most definitely not be correct.
After you have verified the pins, click the `Enable Radio` checkbox and then press the `Save Radio` button. ESPSomfy RTS will now enable the transceiver into receive mode so you can tune your radio. Once the radio has been enabled, the `Radio not Initialized` header will disappear from the screen. If the message does not disappear, then you likely have an issue with your pin selections.
You can view all incoming frames from your remotes on the Logs tab. This will display the frames with the most recently received frame at the topmost position. Pressing the `Copy` button will copy the current command list into your clipboard. If you are submitting an issue that ESPSomfy RTS doesn't recognize a particular command this will help with debugging and allow me to provide further assistance.

#### TROUBLESHOOTING TIP - I Cannot make the RADIO NOT INITIALIZED message go away
This message appears when ESPSomfy-RTS sends the configuration to the CC1101 but it cannot read it back. This can be caused by a couple of things but the most common reason is because of the way the CC1101 boards are marked. First check your wiring and keep in mind that the odd numbered pins (1,3,5,7) are on the bottom edge of the board and when you flip it over to hook it up they go from right to left instead of left to right.
