PFLX-UG-0002-00-17 Copyright © 2009 LS Research, LLC Page 4 of 29 2 Quick Start 2.1 Operational Overview The quick start demonstration presented in this chapter is referred to as the Ping Pong Test. The Ping Pong Test allows an end user to easily verify communication between two transceivers and get a feel for the quality of the link via feedback of the flashing LEDs. Running the Ping Pong Test requires the use of two (2) development boards. One board will be the master (or transmitter), and the other board will be the slave (or receiver). The master periodically transmits packets to the slave. If the slave receives and verifies the packet, it will flash its LEDs and transmit an acknowledgement to the master. If the master receives and verifies the acknowledgement, it will flash its LEDs. In normal ping pong mode, LEDs indicate signal strength (two LEDs on indicate high signal strength, one LED indicates low signal strength). If the LEDs do not light, the packet or acknowledgement was not received. 2.2 Software Installation The included software is an IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for MSP430 (rev. 4.11B) project. As a result, this development environment should be installed on the development PC. Also, the latest version of the TI ZigBee stack should be installed on the development PC. The ZigBee stack is available on the TI web site. It should be noted that the included Pro-FLEX firmware project only uses the 802.15.4 MAC API of the ZigBee stack. To install the firmware unzip the files to the C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-2.2.0-1.3.0\Projects directory of the TI ZigBee stack. This is assuming that ZigBee stack was installed into the default directory structure. Once the firmware is installed, the IAR workspace file should be in C:\Texas Instruments\ZStack-2.2.0-1.3.0\Projects\ProFlex01. The workspace filename is Proflex01.eww. 2.3 Setting up TI Z-Stack TBD 2.4 Modifying Include Directories TBD For additional information relating to the TI Z-Stack, refer to the documentation folder installed with Z-Stack: Start  All Programs  Texas Instruments  Z-Stack  Documentation

OTA Data  N/A for PERT Rx Query / Cancel  Sends out Host Message Type 0x43.  Used by Host to obtain results of PERT Test  PERT Test in Rx can end in one of three ways: o 100% of packets are received o The OTA transmit count = Number of Packets to Receive o Host cancel request. Since it cannot be guaranteed that the last packet will be received, it is the responsibility of the host to ensure the test is canceled.  If cancel is selected it will cancel the current test  “PERT In-Progress” is filled in based on query results. Red = no test in progress, green = test in progress Setup Packet Error Rate Test  Src Transceiver Address: 100 (who to expect message from)  Number of Packets: 100 (number of RF packets (5-65535). Must match PERT Tx selection.  Number of Bytes: 30 (number of user bytes in packet. Range is 1-105) Must match PERT Tx selection. Packet Error Rate Results  Filled in when results are received based on options above.  “Number of Received Packets” – keeps count of how many packets were rx’d  “Total Number of Packets” – configured in UART message above. Used to calculate PERT success.  LQI Average – the average LQI of Rx’d messages  PERT Success – The number of rx’d packets / total number of packets. Not valid until end of test.  Real Time PERT Success – The number of rx’d packets/ number of tx’d packets. The number of Tx’d packets is determined from the count in the OTA data.

PFLX-UG-0002-00-17 Copyright © 2009 LS Research, LLC Page 11 of 29 Figure 5 Transmitter PERT Tab 2.7 Ping-Pong Test To perform the ping-pong test (without the use of the ModFLEX Development Board), the Pro-FLEX module will require external hardware connections. A nominal 3.3 volt DC power supply should be connected to the 3V3DC pin shown in Figure 1. Also, a ground connection is required. Also, 4 LEDs should be connected to pins TMR/PWM1 through TMR/PWM3. The cathode of each LED should be each pin. The anode of each LED should be connected to the 3.3 V power supply through a nominal resistor value of 470 ohms. Each output can sink up to 15 mA to turn on each LED. The outputs are set to high strength mode in the firmware. The TMR/PWM1 output should have a green LED. The TMR/PWM2 output should have a yellow LED. The TMR/PWM5 pin is configured as an input to initiate the ping-pong test mode. This pin should be connected to ground through a momentary contact normally open (NO) push button switch. This switch is referred to as the user button in the subsequent instructions. Also, the RESET pin should be connected to ground through a momentary contact normally open (NO) push button switch. This switch is referred to as the reset button in the subsequent instructions.

Release the reset button. 3. Wait until the green LED is lit, then release the user button. Slave device setup 1. Press the reset button and the user button simultaneously. 2. Release the reset button. 3. Quickly release the user button (Release within 1.5 seconds of performing step 2 above). 2.7.2 Association Mode In association mode, the red LED will flash rapidly on each board until it has linked with the other device. At this point, the red LED will go out and the green LED will begin to flash rapidly for approximately two seconds. Association mode lasts up to thirty seconds after power up, so the master and slave pair should be powered up at relatively the same time. If the transceivers link, they will enter the ping pong mode after association mode times out. However, if they do not link, they will not communicate and the sequence must be repeated from the point of master/slave selection at power up. 2.7.3 Ping Pong Mode In ping pong mode, the master and slave boards will flash one or two LEDs with each packet (slave) or acknowledge (master) received, based on message signal strength. Refer to Table 2 below for a description of the LEDs versus signal strength. In case there is a lot of traffic on the default channel, it is possible to change the channel. Red LED Green LED Signal Strength OFF OFF None ON OFF Marginal OFF ON Good ON ON Excellent Table 2 LED Signal Strength Definitions 2.7.4 Changing RF Channels Note that this can only be performed if boards have been associated.

PFLX-UG-0002-00-17 Copyright © 2009 LS Research, LLC Page 13 of 29 While in the ping pong mode, the current channel can be changed to one of four other unique channels (four channels total). This is accomplished by holding the User Button for approximately two seconds, at which point the yellow LED will be lit steady. Once the push button is released, the current channel option number (one through four) is displayed by a series of flashes on the red LED. Each short push button press will increment the channel option number and display it with a given number of flashes on the red LED. To accept the last selected channel, hold the push button until the green LED goes out (approximately two seconds). After again releasing the button, the device will return to the ping pong mode. Note that both the master and slave devices must be set to the same channel option number for the pair to communicate, and each board must be individually set to that given channel option number.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate 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. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC/IC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. OEM Responsibility to the FCC Rules and Regulations The Pro-FLEX Module has been certified per FCC Part 15 and IC RSS-GEN (2007) rules for integration into products without further testing or certification. To fulfill the FCC and IC certification requirements the OEM of the Pro-FLEX Module must ensure that the information provided on the Pro-FLEX Label is placed on the outside of the final product. The Pro-FLEX Module is labeled with its own FCC ID and IC Number. If the FCC ID and IC Number are not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: TFB-PROFLEX1” “Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5969A-PROFLEX1” or “Contains FCC ID: TFB-PROFLEX1” “Contains IC: 5969A-PROFLEX1”

PFLX-UG-0002-00-17 Copyright © 2009 LS Research, LLC Page 27 of 29 The OEM of the Pro-FLEX Module must only use the approved antenna(s), which have been certified with this module. The OEM of the Pro-FLEX Module must test their final product configuration to comply with Unintentional Radiator Limits before declaring FCC compliance per Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS-GEN (2007) of Industry Canada’s rules. This transmitter module is authorized to be used in other devices only by OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times. 2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and IC authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC and IC # cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and IC authorization. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. The user manual for the end product must include the following information in a prominent location: “To comply with FCC RF radiation exposure requirements, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) & user’s/nearby people’s bodies at all times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
