2.1
Product Summary
The MICAz is the latest generation of Motes from Crossbow Technology. The MPR2400 (2400
MHz to 2483.5 MHz band ) uses the Chipcon CC2420, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, ZigBee ready
radio frequency transceiver integrated with an Atmega128L micro-controller. The same MICA2,
51 pin I/O connector, and serial flash memory is used; all MICA2 application software and
sensor boards are compatible with the MPR2400.

FCC Certification for the MICAz
The MICAz Mote is classified by the FCC as both a Class A and a Class B digital device. As
such this section describes how to operate the equipment so that it does not cause unintended RF
interference.
2.3.1
Class A & B Digital Device Compliance
This equipment has been tested by the FCC and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, a nd can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interfe rence to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a commercial environment. Howe ver, operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on. If this is the case the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or locate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If these measures do not correct for RF interference, the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
IWARNING: Any modifications to the unit, unless expressly approved by Crossbow
Technology, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the MICAz Mote (also referred to as
“equipment” in this Section).

Product Summary
The MICA2 Motes come in three models according to their RF frequency band: the MPR400
(915 MHz), MPR410 (433 MHz), and MPR420 (315 MHz). The Motes use the Chipcon
CC1000, FSK modulated radio. All models utilize a powerful Atmega128L micro-controller and
a frequency tunable radio with extended range. The MPR4x0 and MPR5x0 radios are compatible
and can communicate with each other. (The x = 0, 1, or 2 depending on the model / frequency
band.)

4 MPR500/MPR510/MPR520 (MICA2DOT)
4.1
Product Summary
The MICA2DOT is a Mote designed for applications where physical size is important. Like the
MICA2, these are available in three models according to the frequency of the RF transceiver: the
MPR500 (915 MHz), MPR510 (433 MHz), and MPR520 (315 MHz). The Motes use the
Chipcon CC1000 FSK-modulated radio. All models utilize a powerful ATMega128L microcontroller and a frequency tunable radio with extended range. The MPR4x0 and MPR5x0 radios
are compatible and can communicate with each other as long as the “x” is the same number.

but it has been removed to show the details.
4.2
On-board Thermistor
The MICA2DOT Mote has an on-board thermistor (Panasonic ERT-J1VR103J) which is a
surface mount component. It is on the ATMega128 side of the board at the location labeled
“RT1.” Its output is at ADC1 and is enabled by setting PW6 (PC6/A14) to “LO” and PW7
(PC7/A15) to “HI.”
The Mote’s ADC output can be converted to degrees kelvin in the 273.15 K to 323.15 K (0°C to
50 °C) range using the Steinhart-Hart equation, which is a widely used third-order
approximation.
T (K) =
a + b ln Rthr + c (ln Rthr ) 3
where:
Rthr =
R1 × ADC
( ADC _ FS − ADC )
and a, b and c are called the Steinhart-Hart parameters with the following values:
a = 0.00130705

b = 0.000214381
c = 0.000000093

5 MPR300/MPR310 (MICA)
X NOTE: The MICA Mote has been discontinued by Crossbow since December 2003.
The MICA Mote was the second generation Mote module used in many ground breaking
research and development efforts. The MPR300/310 includes a powerful Atmel ATMega128L. It
used an amplitude shift keying radio—the TR1000—by RF Monolithics, Inc.

Battery Power
All motes are designed for battery power. The MICA2 and MICAz form factors are designed to
match up with two AA batteries; however any battery combination (AAA, C, D, etc., cells) can
be used provided that the output is between 2.7 VDC to 3.6 VDC.
The MPR500 (915 MHz band), MPR510 (433 MHz band), and MPR520 (315 MHz band, Japan
specific) MICA2DOT form factor is designed to match up with a single coin cell battery;
however any battery combination (AAA, C, D, etc., cells) can be used provided that the output is
between 2.7–3.6VDC.

motes and their required operating span. Also make sure that the temperature range and
associated capacity degradation are looked at prior to deployment. Table 6-2 below provides
some useful guidance on current consumption of various system components.

X NOTE: In most Mote applications, the processor and radio run for a brief period of time, followed by a
sleep cycle. During sleep, current consumption is in the micro-amps as opposed to milli-amps. This
results in very low-current draw the majority of the time, and short duration spikes while processing,
receiving, and transmitting data. This method extends battery life; however, due to the current surges, it
reduces specified battery capacity. Battery capacity is typically specified by the manufacturer for a
constant nominal current drawn.

External Power
The MICA2 and MICAz can be externally powered through either:
1. The 51-pin connector will supply power and ground to the unit. Refer to connector
description.
2. The 2-pin Molex connector. Molex part number 53261-0290, Digi-Key part number
WM1753-ND. (See Figure 6-4 below.)

6.3
MICAz Battery Voltage Monitor
The MICAz has an accurate internal voltage reference that can be used to measure battery
voltage (Vbatt). Since the eight-channel ADC on the ATMega128L uses the battery voltage as a
full scale reference, the ADC full scale voltage value changes as the battery voltage changes. In
order to track the battery voltage, the precision voltage reference (band gap reference) is
monitored to determine the ADC full-scale (ADC_FS) voltage span which corresponds to Vbatt.
To compute the battery voltage:
1. Program the application code to measure ADC channel 30 – the Internal Bandgap
Voltage reference.
2. Compute battery voltage, Vbatt, from ADC reading (ADC_Count) by:
Vbatt = Vref × ADC _ FS ADC _ Count
where:
Vbatt = Battery voltage
ADC_FS = 1024
Vref = Internal voltage reference = 1.223 volts
ADC_Count = Data from the ADC measurement of Internal Voltage reference
The TinyOS component VoltageM.nc can be wired into an application to provide this
measurement capability. The reserved keyword TOS_ADC_VOLTAGE_PORT is mapped to ADC
Channel 30 in the MICAz.
6.4
MICA2 Battery Voltage Monitor
The MICA2 units have an accurate voltage reference that can be used to measure battery voltage
(Vbatt). Since the eight-channel, ATMega128L ADC uses the battery voltage as a full scale
reference, the ADC full scale voltage value changes as the battery voltage changes. In order to
calibrate the battery voltage a precision externa l voltage reference is required. The MICA2 uses
an LM4041 (Mfg: National Semiconductor) 1.223 V reference (Vref) attached to ADC channel 7.
X NOTE: ADC channel 7 is also used for JTAG debugging on the Atmega128 processor. MICA2s and
MICA2DOTs ship with the JTAG fuse enabled. When this fuse is enabled the input impedance of channel
7 is lowered which affects the voltage reference measurement. The fuse must be disabled if ADC channel
7 is used. See below for information on setting ATMega128L fuses.
Doc. # 7430-0021-06 Rev. A
Page 23
MPR/MIB User’s Manual
Wireless Sensor Networks
To compute the battery voltage:
1. Set the BAT_MON processor pin (PA5/AD5) to HI.
2. Program the application code to measure ADC Channel 7.
3. Compute battery voltage, Vbatt, from Channel 7’s data by:
Vbatt = Vref × ADC _ FS ADC _ Count
where:
Vbatt = Battery voltage
ADC_FS = 1024
Vref = External voltage reference = 1.223 V
ADC_Count = Data from the ADC measurement of Channel 7
6.5
MICA2DOT Battery Voltage Monitor
Unlike the MICAz and the MICA2, the MICA2DOT uses a Schottky reference diode (S103AW)
as a voltage reference that can be used to measure battery voltage (Vbatt). Since the eight-channel,
ATMega128L ADC uses the battery voltage as a full-scale reference, the ADC full scale
(ADC_FS) voltage value changes as the battery voltage changes. In order to calibrate the battery
voltage an external voltage reference (Vref) is required.
To compute the battery voltage:
1. Set processor pins PW7 (PC7/A15) to LO and PW6 (PC6/A14) to HI.
2. Program the application code to measure ADC Channel 1 (ADC1).
3. Compute battery voltage, Vbatt, from channel 1’s data by:
Vbatt = Vref × ADC _ FS ADC _ Count
where:
Vbatt = Battery voltage
ADC_FS = 1024
Vref = External voltage reference = 0.6 volts
ADC_Count = Data from the ADC measurement of Channel 1

7 RADIOS
7.1
7.1.1
MICA2 and MICA2DOT
Radio Considerations
The radio on the MICA2 and MICA2DOT is capable of multiple channel operation, within the
intended band of operation. The MPR420/MPR520 can span up to 4 channels of operation in the
315 MHz band, the MPR410/MPR510 can span up to 4 channels of operation in the 433 MHz
band (433.05–434.79 MHz). The MPR400/MPR500 can operate in two frequency regions: 868–
870 MHz (up to 4 channels) and 902–928 MHz (up to 54 channels). The actual number of
possible channels is higher for all the MICA2 /MICA2DOT motes. However, it is recommended
that the adjacent channel spacing should be at least 500 kHz to avoid adjacent channel
interference thereby reducing the number of available channels. A tutorial on how to change
frequency is available at http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-1.x/doc/mica2radio/CC1000.html.
7.1.2
Radio Transmission Power
The radio on the MICA2 /MICA2DOT can be adjusted for a range of output power levels. The
register in the radio that controls the RF power level is designated PA_POW at address 0x0B,
and the values and their corresponding RF outputs are provided on Table 7-1 below. It shows the
closest programmable value for output powers in steps of 1 dBm. For power down mode the
Chipcon datasheet says, “the PA_POW should be set to 00h [0x00] for minimum leakage
current.”

X NOTE:
In order to comply with "Biyjacku" (Japanese standard), the Radio Transmit power for the MICA2 must
have a PA_POW set to lowest value, 0x01.
The radio on the MICA2 /MICA2 DOT also provides a measurement of the received signal
strength, referred to as RSSI. This output is measured on ADC channel 0 and is available to the
software. Some versions of TinyOS provide this measurement automatically, and others must be

Care should be taken to provide an antenna that provides proper coverage for the environment
expected. Range and performance are strongly affected by choice of antenna and antenna
placement within the environment. In addition, care must be taken to ensure compliance with
FCC article 15 regulations for intentional radiators. An omni directional antenna such as a
quarter wavelength whip should be sufficient to meet most user requirements.
M WARNING: The radio on the MICA2 has an extremely sensitive receiver, which can be interfered with
by an adjacent local oscillator from another MICA2. A distance of at least 2 feet should be maintained
between MICA2 units to avoid local oscillator interference.

7.2.1
MICAz
Radio RF Channel Selection
The MICAz’s CC2420 radio can be tuned from 2.048 GHz to 3.072 GHz which includes the
global ISM band at 2.4 GHz. IEEE 802.15.4 channels are numbered from 11 (2.405 GHz) to 26
(2.480 GHz) each separated by 5 MHz. The channel can be selected at run-time with the TOS
CC2420Radio library call CC2420Control.TunePreset(uint8_t chnl). By default
channel 11 (2480 MHz) is selected.
7.2.2
Radio Transmission Power
RF transmission power is programmable from 0 dBm (1 mW) to –25dBm. Lower transmission
power can be advantageous by reducing interference and dropping radio power consumption
from 17.5 mA at full power to 8.5 mA at lowest power. RF transmit power is controlled using
the TOS CC2420Radio library call CC2420Control.SetRFPower(uint8_t power) where
power is an 8-bit code selected from the following:

The RF received signal strength indication (RSSI) is read directly from the CC2420 Radio. In
TinyOS the RSSI is automatically returned in the TOSMsg->strength field with every radio
packet received. Typical RSSI values for a given RF input level are shown in Figure 7-1 below.
Figure 7-2. Typical RSSI value versus input RF level in dBm.
7.2.3
Known MICAz and TinyOS Compatibility Issues
1. #define PLATFORM_MICAZ
In general this #define should be added to various applications/libraries wherever
the text PLATFORM_MICA2 is found.
2. ATMega128L Timer2 Use
Timer2 is used for high resolution (32uSec) timing in the CC2420Radio stack. The
module HPLTimer2.nc located under the tinyos-1.x/tos/platform/micaz/ directory
provides the Timer2 resources to AsyncTimerJiffy component for this service.
Applications that use Timer2 will have to be modified to avoid conflicts with its use
for the MICAz platform radio stack.
3. INT2 GPIO Line
MICA I/O signal INT2 (Port E, pin 6 on ATMega128 or 51-pin Hirose connector pin
4) is used internally to the MICAz for the CC2420 Radio Receiver FIFO Ready
interrupt. Use of INT2 for any other purpose must be done with care. Specifically, the
Port configuration (input, active low) must be restored following use in other
software modules.
Doc. # 7430-0021-06 Rev. A
Page 28
MPR/MIB User’s Manual
Wireless Sensor Networks
X NOTE: Programmers should be cautioned that the MICAz receiver radio stack
(CC2420RadioM.nc) will be disabled if the INT2 pin is reprogrammed/re-tasked by another TOS
component.
4. MTS300/310 (a.k.a., micasb) Temperature Sensor
•
•
INT2 control line is used on the MTS300/310 (micasb) for enabling the
thermistor. During temperature measurement, interrupts from the MICAz radio
receiver are inhibited. MICAz radio received packets are buffered in the CC2420
RX FIFO. If the MTS300/310’s thermistor is enabled for too long the receiver
buffer may overflow. During temperature measurements dropout in data reading.
This is due to receipt of a radio packet which will strobe the INT2 and thus affect
the thermistor voltage. Following temperature measurement, the MTS300/310
driver must restore the INT2 port to configuration used for handling interrupts
from the CC2420 radio. Symptom of not restoring the INT2 port correctly is all
that radio reception stops.
A Temporary Fix the Temperature Sensor Issue:
o INT2 Control
A modified PhotoTempM.nc module is provided in tinyos1.x/tos/platform/micaz/. This module restores INT2 port following each
measurement.
o Temperature data drop out
Software can be added to exclude/reject a temperature reading differentials
that exceed what is physically possible from one sample to the next.
o Hardware can be modified to buffer/overdrive CC2420 Radio’s packet
received flag during temperature measurements. The following two changes
are suggested.
a. MTS300/310 Sensor Board Module: Remove capacitor C1 (located near
RT1 thermistor)
b. MICAz Module: Change resistor at location R31 to 10 kΩ.

8 ANTENNAS
8.1
Radio/Antenna Considerations
Care should be taken to provide an antenna that provides proper coverage for the environment
expected. Range and performance are strongly affected by choice of antenna and antenna
placement within the environment. In addition, care must be taken to ensure compliance with
FCC article 15 regulations for intentional radiators. Because of its small physical size, the usual
antenna chosen is a length of insulated wire one-quarter wavelength long for the frequency of
interest. This type of antenna is often called a monopole antenna, and its gain is ground plane
dependent.
Antenna lengths for the different radio frequencies are provided in Table 8-1.

connectorized antennas are listed.

9 FLASH DATA LOGGER AND SERIAL ID C HIP
All Motes feature a 4-Mbit serial flash (Atmel AT45DB041) for storing data, measurements, and
other user-defined information. It is connected to one of the USART on the ATMega128L. This
chip is supported in TinyOS which uses this chip as micro file system. The serial flash device
supports over 100,000 measurement readings. This chip is also used for over-the-air
reprogramming services available in TinyOS.
Also on the MICA2 is a 64-bit serial ID chip.

10 ATMEGA128 F USES
The ATMega128L processor on the Motes has many programmable fuses to control various
parameters. Refer to Atmel’s technical information for the ATMega128L for a complete
discussion of the fuses (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/2467s.pdf). There
are two fuses that TinyOS users should be aware of as setting these fuses incorrectly will cause
the unit to not operate correctly.
10.1.1
Atmega103 compatibility mode fuse
This fuse put the ATMega128 in the ATMega103 compatible mode. This fuse was set for the
older generation MICA units. It must be disabled for MICA2 and MICA2DOTs.
10.1.2
JTAG fuse
This fuse enables users to use the Atmel JTAG pod for in-circuit code debugging. Units are
shipped with JTAG enabled. As discussed in the previous section on battery voltage monitoring,
if JTAG is enabled, it will cause inaccurate measurements on ADC channel 7.
10.1.3
Using UISP to set fuses
The UISP utility used to download code to the MICAz, MICA2, or MICA2DOT on a
programming board can also be used to set and unset fuses of the Atmel® ATMega128.
Table 10-1. UISP Commands for Setting the ATMega128’s Fuses.
Action
Disable JTAG fuse
Enable JTAG fuse
Enable native 128 mode
Command
uisp -dprog= --wr_fuse_h=0xD9
uisp -dprog= --wr_fuse_h=0x19
uisp -dprog= --wr_fuse_e=ff
 is the device you are using to interface to the Mote from a computer. The current options
are dapa (for an MIB500), mib510 for a MIB510; and EPRB for a MIB600.
Users can also edit the file called profile in the cygwin/etc/ directory and enter an alias. One
example is this alias to disable the JTAG fuse:
alias fuse_dis="uisp -dprog= --wr_fuse_h=0xD9"
Therefore, when fuse_dis and is entered into a Cygwin command line, the script will be
executed.

MICA2DOT Expansion Connector
The interface to the MPR500 is through a series of 19 pins Elpacko spaced around the
circumference of the MPR5x0 Mote. (They represent a subset of the pins available on the
MPR5x0.) They include a set of power control pins, ADC channels, power, ground, some
general purpose digital IO, and the serial programming port. For applications with more digital
IO, the ADC pins can be reconfigured as digital input/output but not both.
M WARNING: The TP12 (SPI_CK) pin is controlled by the Radio. In the majority of applications it
should not be used. It is also used for programming the processor.

12 MIB300 / MIB500 INTERFACE B OARDS
X NOTE: The MIB300 and MIB500 have been discontinued by Crossbow. The MIB500 has been
replaced by the MIB510.
M WARNING: When programming a MICA2 with the MIB500, turn off the battery switch. For a
MICA2DOT, remove the battery before inserting into the MIB500. The MICA2s and MICA2DOTs do not
have switching diodes to switch between external and battery power.
12.1
Programming the Mote
The MIB300/MIB500 interface boards are multi-purpose interface boards used in conjunction
with the MICA Family of products. They supply power to the devices through an external power
adapter option, and provide interfaces for an RS232 serial port and reprogramming port (using
the parallel printer interface). The MIB300 can only be used with an external 3 VDC supply, or it
can take advantage of the battery power supplied from the mote.
The MIB500 has an on-board regulator that will accept 5 to 7 VDC, and supplies a regulated 3
VDC to the MICA The MIB500 is delivered with a wall power supply. It also has monitor LEDs
that mirror the LEDs on the MICA.
There is a built- in low voltage monitor that disables reprogramming if the power supply voltage
is dangerously low. When the proper programming voltage exists—the Green LED adjacent the
parallel port is lit—D6. If the voltage goes below 2.95V, the Green LED D6 will turn off,
programming is disabled.
The MIB500 also has an interface connector for reprogramming the MICA2DOT. Programming
the mote is accomplished by connecting the MIB300/MIB500 to the parallel port of the
computer, and executing the required programming software—UISP—supplied with the TinyOS
install.
X NOTE: There have been numerous reported difficulties with programming motes through the
MIB500CA. These include program failure, flash verification errors, and dead Motes. The root cause of
these problems is almost always one of two issues: 1) low programming voltage or 2) UISP problems on
the Host PC. A detailed application note is posted at http://www.xbow.com under Support. Please review
this application note, if you have trouble programming. Programming the Motes improperly or with a bad
UISP install can result in permanent damage to the Mote CPU.
12.2
RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 interface is a standard single channel bi-directional interface with a DB9 connector
to interface to an external computer. It uses transmit and receive lines only.

13 MIB510 SERIAL INTERFACE B OARDS
X NOTE: The MIB510 will only work with ATMega128 processors used on the MICA2 and MICA2DOT.
It will work for older Mica units that have the ATMega128 processor but not earlier processors such as the
ATMega103.
13.1
Product Summary
The MIB510 interface board is a multi-purpose interface board used with the MICAz, MICA2,
MICA, and MICA2DOT family of products. The board is supplied with all MOTE-KITs. It
supplies power to the devices through an external power adapter option, and provides an
interface for a RS-232 Mote serial port and reprogramming port.

13.2
ISP
The MIB510 has an on-board in-system processor (ISP)—an Atmega16L located at U14—to
program the Motes. Code is downloaded to the ISP through the RS-232 serial port. Next the ISP
programs the code into the mote. The ISP and Mote share the same serial port. The ISP runs at a
fixed baud rate of 115.2 kbaud. The ISP continually monitors incoming serial packets for a
special multi-byte pattern. Once this pattern is detected it disables the Mote’s serial RX and TX,
then takes control of the serial port.
M WARNING: Some USB to DB9 serial port adapters cannot run at 115 kbaud.
The ISP processor is connected to two LEDs, a green LED labeled “SP PWR” (at D3) and a red
LED labeled “ISP” (at D5). SP PWR is used to indicate the power state of the MIB510 (see
below). If the ISP LED is on, the MIB510 has control of the serial port. It will also blink once
when the RESET (SW1) button is pushed and released.
13.3
Mote Programming Using the MIB510
Programming the Motes requires having TinyOS installed in your host PC. Instructions for
installing TinyOS can be found in Crossbow’s Getting Started Guide or on- line at
http://www.tinyos.net/download.html. The commands for downloading build (compiled) code
Doc. # 7430-0021-06 Rev. A
Page 38
MPR/MIB User’s Manual
Wireless Sensor Networks
depend on the Mote platform you are programming. Instructions can also be found in the Getting
Started Guide.
M WARNING: Under Cygwin the ISP may not get control of the serial port if the Mote is continually
sending packets over the serial TX line at a high rate. If this happens, the UISP will hang. This can be
fixed by:
1. Type Ctrl C in the Cygwin window and try again.
2. Turn SW2 to the “ON” position. This turns on a circuit to disable the Mote’s TX line. Be sure to set
SW2 to ‘OFF’ after programming the mote if you are using the Mote as a base station (e.g., a
MICAz or MICA2 Mote programmed with Surge_Reliable as node “0” or with TOSBase).
13.4
Interfaces to MICAz, MICA2, and MICA2DOT
The MIB510 has connectors for both the MICA2 and MICA2DOT. See the picture below. For
the MICA2 there is another connector on the bottom side of the MIB510 for sensor boards.
MICA2DOTs with battery connectors can be mounted, also, to the bottom side of the board.
13.4.1
Reset
The “RST MOTE” push button switch resets both the ISP and Mote processors. RST resets the
ISP; after the ISP powers-up it resets the Mote’s processor.
13.4.2
JTAG
The MIB510 has a connector, J3 (“MOTE JTAG”) which connects to an Atmel JTAG pod for
in-circuit debugging. This connector will supply power to the JTAG pod; no external power
supply is required for the pod.
M WARNING: The MIB510 also has JTAG and ISP connectors for the ISP processor. These are for
factory use only.
13.4.3
Power
The MIB510 has an on-board regulator that will accept 5 to 7 VDC, and supply a regulated 3
VDC to the MICAz, MICA2, and MICA Motes. The MIB510 is delivered with a wall power
supply.
M WARNING: Applying more than 7 VDC will damage the on-board linear regulator.
There is a built- in low voltage monitor that disables reprogramming if the power supply voltage
is dangerously low. When the proper programming voltage exists the “ISP PWR” LED is on. If
the voltage goes below 2.9 V, the green “ISP PWR” LED will blink and disable the Mote from
any code downloads. If the voltage is too low to power the ISP then the “ISP PWR” LED will be
off.
M WARNING: When programming a MICA2 with the MIB510, turn off the battery switch. For a
MICA2DOT, remove the battery before inserting into the MIB510. The MICA2s and MICA2DOTs do not
have switching diodes to switch between external and battery power.
13.4.4
RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 interface is a standard single channel bi-directional interface with a DB9 connector
to interface to an external computer. It uses the transmit and receive lines only.

M WARNING! The Mote “ground” is at POE potential (-48 V). Do not connect MIB600 to facility/building
ground when using POE.
An IEEE 802.3af compliant power supply is provided for POE equipped facilities. Ethernet
appliance power (-48 V) is supplied at pins 4/5 and 7/8 of the 10/100 Base-T RJ45 plug. Refer to
Appendix A for Base- T wiring information.
The MIB600 POE circuit contains IEEE 802.13f compliant power sequencing and classification
circuitry. Reversed and over- voltage protection is provided.
X NOTE: The MIB600 only supports POE over the “spare wires” 4/5 and 7/8. It does not support POE
shared on the Base-T signaling lines.
14.2.4
Connect the MIB600 to a POE-equipped LAN port.
Turn-On the MIB600 by placing the MIB600 SW2 in the POE position
Turn-Off by placing SW2 in 5V position (with External 5VDC supply
disconnected)
MIB600–LAN Connection
The MIB600 Serial Server connects directly to a 10 Base-T LAN as any other network device.
Straight cables are used to connect to a hub or switch. If your connection is an MIB600 to PC
you must use a crossed cable. Refer to Appendix A for LAN wiring information.

Serial Server RESET. Pressing the S1 switch on the server sub- module (U15) manually
resets the Ethernet serial server.
XNOTE The MIB600 and attached Mote are not reset. The serial server can also be reset via Telnet at
Port 9999.
ISP LED. During in-system programming of a Mote the ISP LED (D3) is ON.
Mote LEDs. Three LEDs (red, green, yellow) correspond to the attached Mote’s
indicators.
14.4.2
Mote UART (Serial Port)
The Mote’s serial port can be accessed via Telnet using Port# 10002.
Factory default serial rate on the Serial Server is 57.6 kbaud for compatibility with the standard
TinyOS v1.1 release of TOSBase & GenericBase.
If other baud rates or communication parameters are used in your Mote application, the serial
server configuration must be changed.
14.4.3
In-System Programming
The MIB600 ISP micro-controller is attached to Port#10002. UISP assumes this port assignment
by default. Programming using MIB600 requires assigning an IP address to the device first
followed by commands via Cygwin. Instructions can be found in Crossbow’s Getting Started
Guide.
14.5
JTAG
JTAG connection to the attached MICAz/MICA2 Mote is via J12. Note PIN1 orientation (square
pad) is indicated by the J12 legend. Power for the JTAG pod is provided by the MIB600 at J12
pin 4. Please use the tables in this section as references when using the JTAG connection. Table
14-6 has information about the controls, indicators, and connector summary; Table 14-7 has
information on the JT12 Mote JTAG pins.
