www.lairdtech.com/wirelessHARDWARE INTERFACE3PIN DEFINITIONS Generic I/OBoth GIn and GOn pins serve as generic input/output pins. Reading and writing of these pins can be performed on-the-fly usingCC Commands.RXD and TXDThe ZB2430 accepts 3.3 VDC TTL level asynchronous serial data from the OEM Host via the RXD pin. Data is sent from thetransceiver, at 3.3V levels, to the OEM Host via the TXD pin. Test/Sleep Int.Test Mode - When pulled logic Low before applying power or resetting, the transceiver's serial interface is forced to 9600, 8-N-1(8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit): regardless of actual EEPROM setting. The interface timeout is also set to 3 ms and the RFpacket size is set to the default size of 0x54 (84 bytes). To exit, the transceiver must be reset or power-cycled with Test pin logicHigh or disconnected.Note: Because this pin disables some modes of operation, it should not be permanently pulled Low during normal operation.Sleep Mode Interrupt - When logic Low, forces End Device to wake up from sleep mode. When logic High, allows End Device tosleep and wake-up according to specified poll rate. Sleep Mode interrupt function available on End Devices only. UP_ResetUP_Reset provides a direct connection to the reset pin on the ZB2430 microprocessor and is used to force a soft reset. For a validreset, reset must be asserted Low for an absolute minimum of 250 ns.Command/DataWhen logic High, the transceiver interprets incoming serial data as transmit data to be sent to other transceivers. When logic Low,the transceiver interprets incoming serial data as command data. When logic Low, data packets from the radio will not betransmitted over the RF interface however incoming packets from other radios will still be received.In RangeThe In Range pin will be driven low when the radio is associated with a network. In Range will always be driven low on aCoordinator.RTS Handshaking*With RTS mode disabled, the transceiver will send any received data to the OEM Host as soon as it is received. However, someOEM Hosts are not able to accept data from the transceiver all of the time. With RTS enabled, the OEM Host can prevent thetransceiver from sending it data by de-asserting RTS (High). Once RTS is re-asserted (Low), the transceiver will send packets tothe OEM Host as they are received. Note: Leaving RTS de-asserted for too long can cause data loss once the transceiver's receive buffer reaches capacity.*Feature not implemented at time of release.

HARDWARE INTERFACE6CTS HandshakingIf the transceiver buffer fills up and more bytes are sent to it before the buffer can be emptied, data loss will occur. The transceiverprevents this loss by deasserting CTS High as the buffer fills up and asserting CTS Low as the buffer is emptied. CTS should bemonitored by the Host device and data flow to the radio should be stopped when CTS is High.Sleep Ind.Sleep Indicator output. Sleep Ind. can be used to determine whether or not the transceiver is sleeping. When logic Low, thetransceiver is in sleep mode. When logic High, the transceiver is awake.AD InAD In can be used as a cost savings to replace Analog-to-Digital converter hardware with the onboard 12-bit ADC. Reading ofthis pin can be performed locally using the Read ADC command found in the On-the-Fly Control Command Reference.

www.lairdtech.com/wirelessTHEORY OF OPERATION5IEEE 802.15.4 & ZIGBEE OVERVIEWThe ZB2430 uses the ZigBee protocol stack, a network layer protocol which uses small, low power digital transceivers based onthe IEEE 802.15.4 hardware standard. The 802.15.4 standard is a specification for a cost-effective, low data rate (<250 kbps), 2.4GHz or 868/928 MHz wireless technology designed for personal-area and device-to-device wireless networking.The IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies the hardware requirements, including frequency bands, receiver sensitivity, modulation andspreading requirements. The ZigBee layer is the software layer that sits atop the 802.15.4 PHY/MAC layer and performs allpacket routing and mesh networking.There are three device types present in a ZigBee network: Coordinator (Full Function Device), Router (Full Function Device), andEnd Device (Reduced Function Device). Each network consists of a single Coordinator, optional Router(s), and optional ReducedFunction End Device(s).CoordinatorThe Coordinator is responsible for establishing the operatingchannel and PAN ID for the entire Network. Once theCoordinator has established a Network, it allows Routers andEnd Devices to join the Network; assigning each device a unique16-bit Network Address.The Coordinator is intended to be mains powered (always on).• One Coordinator per Network• Establishes Channel and PAN ID• Responsible for Network formation and maintenance• Full Function Device• Packet routing capabilities• Mains powered (always on)• Power down modes are not supported• Network address of 0x0000RouterRouters are responsible for creating and maintaining Networkinformation and determining the optimal route for a data packet.Routers must first associate with the Network before otherdevices can join through them.Routers are intended to be mains powered (always on).• Multiple Routers can be used• Allows other Routers/End Devices to join the Network• Full Function Device• Packet routing capabilities• Mains powered (always on)• Power down modes are not supported• Unique netowork address dynamically assigned by parent

11ZB2430 User’s Manual - v1.6 THEORY OF OPERATIONwww.lairdtech.com/wirelessCREATING A NETWORKThe IEEE 802.15.4 MAC provides support for two wireless network topologies: star and mesh. The management of thesenetworks is performed by the ZigBee layer. All devices, regardless of topology, participate in the network using their unique 16-bit address assigned by the Coordinator.MeshThe mesh topology allows any Full Function Device (Coordinator or Router) to communicate directly with any other device withinits range and to have messages relayed to devices which are out of range via multi-hop routing of messages. While a FFD devicecan communicate with a Reduced Function Device (RFD), RFD’s cannot directly route messages and must have their messagesrouted by their parent device (Coordinator or Router). ZigBee mesh enables the formation of more complex networks, includingad-hoc, self-organizing, and self-healing structures.Figure 1 shows a typical ZigBee network architecture.End DeviceWhile Coordinators and Routers can communicate with anydevice type, End Devices can communicate only through theirparent device. Ideally the End Devices will be in sleep mode allthe time. When they have data to send, they wake up, send thedata and then go back to sleep. The Parent (Coordinator/Router)of an End Device should be mains powered to allow it to storedata to be sent to the sleeping End Device.• Multiple End Devices can be used• No packet routing capabilities• Can communicate with other devices in the Network through its Parent Device• Reduced Function Device• Mains or battery powered• Power down modes are supported• Unique network address dynamically asssigned by parent

THEORY OF OPERATION12Figure 1: ZigBee Network TopologiesPARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIPZigBee uses a parent/child relationship between network devices. The network begins with the Coordinator as the first device onthe network. When a new device (Router or End Device) associates with the Coordinator, it becomes a child of the Coordinatorand similarly, the Coordinator becomes a parent of that device. If a second device joins the network, the Coordinator will onceagain become the parent and the device will become a child of the Coordinator. If a device is not in range of the Coordinator, itsubsequently joins the network through a Router, and becomes a child of that Router. Network devices can have multiple children,but only one parent. By design, End Devices cannot be parents and are always children of the Coordinator or a Router.

15ZB2430 User’s Manual - v1.6 THEORY OF OPERATIONwww.lairdtech.com/wireless64-bit MAC addressThe 64-bit MAC address consists of a 40-bit Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and a 24-bit address programmed by themanufacturer. All ZB2430 transceivers have the same OUI of 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x50 0x67 which can be used to distinguish LairdTechnologies devices on a network but cannot be used to route packets throughout the network.When a packet needs to be sent to a specific device through the network, the 16-bit network address must be used. In order to senddata to a specific device in the network, the OEM can compile a table which lists the 64-bit MAC and the corresponding 16-bitNetwork address (see Table 3 below). The ZB2430’s built-in Discover IEEE Address and Discover Network Address commandsallow the OEM to query the network and discover all available devices that respond within a fixed period.Mesh Routing (AODV)The ZigBee protocol uses the Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing algorithm. AODV allows nodes to passmessages through their neighbors to devices which they cannot communicate directly. This is done by discovering the routesalong which messages can be passed using the shortest route possible.Figure 4 below shows a typical ZigBee network. The circles surrounding the 4 nodes represent the Personal Operating Space(POS) of each node. Because of the limited range, each node can only communicate with the neighboring node(s) next to it.When a node needs to send a message to a node which is not a neighbor, it broadcasts a Route Request (RREQ) messagecontaining the Source Destination Address, the Network Address of the Destination radio and a path cost metric.In the example below, Node 0 needs to send a message to Node 3; however the two are not within communication range of eachother. Node 0’s neighbors are Node 1 and Node 2. Since Node 0 cannot directly communicate with Node 3, it sends out a RREQwhich is heard by Nodes 1 and 2 (see Figure 5: "ZigBee Route Request" on page 16).ENGINEER’S TIP16-bit Network Addresses.In a ZigBee network, nodes are assigned a 16-bit NWK address according to how the network formed.By design, the Coordinator will always have a NWK address of 0x0000. The first Router to thatassociates with the Coordinator is assigned a NWK address of 0x0001. The second Router thatassociates with the Coordinator is assigned an address of 0x143E.The 16-bit address is persistent through power loss and only resets when an NV Reset command is issuedperformed or NV Restore is disabled in EEPROM (EEPROM address 0x45, bit-3).Table 3: Device Table ExampleIndex MAC Address (64-bit) NWK Address (16-bit)0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x50 0x67 0x12 0x34 0x56 0x00001 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x50 0x67 0x16 0x45 0x34 0x00012 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x50 0x67 0x34 0x21 0x78 0x143E

THEORY OF OPERATION16Figure 4: ZigBee AODVFigure 5: ZigBee Route Request

17ZB2430 User’s Manual - v1.6 THEORY OF OPERATIONwww.lairdtech.com/wirelessOne of two things will happen when Nodes 1 and 2 receive the RREQ from Node 0:• If a route is known or if they are the destination radio, they can send a Route Reply (RREP) back to Node 0.• If they do not know the route and are also not the destination radio, they will rebroadcast the RREQ to their neighbors. The message keeps re-broadcasting until the lifespan (specified by the source radio) expires.If Node 0 does not receive a reply within a set amount of time, it will rebroadcast the message, this time with a longer lifespan anda new ID number.In the example, Node 1 does not have a route to Node 3 and therefore rebroadcasts the RREQ (see Figure 6: "ZigBee Route Reply"on page 17). Node 2 however, does have a route to Node 3 and therefore replies to the RREQ by sending out a RREP. Node 2 alsosends a RREP to Node 3 so that it knows the route to Node 0.Figure 6: ZigBee Route ReplyCoordinator AddressingSince the Coordinator’s NWK address is always 0x0000, it can be addressed using its 16-bit NWK address.Broadcast TransmissionsSince ZigBee is targeted for large-scale applications in which all radios may not be in range of a single radio, broadcast packets areretransmitted throughout the network. Broadcast transmissions in ZigBee utilize a passive acknowledgement mechanism;meaning that the Coordinator and all Routers keep track of whether or not their neighbor(s) have relayed the broadcast packet andwill re-broadcast the packet until all of their neighboring devices have received the packet. Any device can initiate a Broadcasttransmission by programming its Destination Address with a Broadcast Address (see Table 4 on page 18). Subsequent broadcasttransmissions occur every 500ms.

Because of the added latency and overall effect on the network, broadcast transmissionswithin a ZigBee network should be limited.

www.lairdtech.com/wirelessSERIAL INTERFACE6The ZB2430 transceiver module interfaces to the OEM Host via an asynchronous 3.3V serial UART interface; allowing themodule to be easily integrated into any 3.3V system without requiring any level translation. The module can communicate withany logic and voltage compatible UART; or to any serial device with an additional level translator.INTERFACE MODESThe ZB2430 has two different types of interface modes:• Transparent Mode• API ModeTransparent ModeWhen operating in Transparent Mode, the ZB2430 can act as a direct serial cable replacement in which received RF data isforwarded over the serial interface and vice versa. Additionally, many parameters can be configured using either AT commands orby toggling the Command/Data pin on the transceiver. In transparent mode, the radio needs to be programmed with the NetworkAddress of the desired recipient. The destination address can be programmed permanently or on-the-fly.When Transparent Mode is used, data is stored in the TX buffer until one of the following occurs:• The RF packet size is reached (EEPROM address 0x5A)• An Interface Timeout occurs (EEPROM address 0x58)API ModeAPI Mode is an alternative to the default Transparent operation of the ZB2430 and provides dynamic packet routing and packetaccounting abilities to the OEM Host without requiring extensive programming by the OEM Host. API Mode utilizes specificframe-based packet formats; specifying various vital parameters used to control radio settings and packet routing on a packet-by-packet basis. The API features can be used in any combination that suits the OEM’s application specific needs.API Mode provides an alternative method of configuring modules and message routing at the OEM Host level; without requiringthe use of Command Mode. The ZB2430 has three API functions:• Transmit API• Receive API• API Send Data CompleteFor additional details and examples, please refer to the API section on page 39.

SERIAL INTERFACE20SERIAL INTERFACE BAUD RATEIn order for the OEM Host and a transceiver to communicate over the serial interface they need to have the same serial data rate.This value determines the baud rate used for communicating over the serial interface to a transceiver. For a baud rate to be valid,the calculated baud rate must be within ±3% of the OEM Host baud rate.For baud rates other than those shown in Table 5 the following equations can be used:Where:FREQUENCY = 32 MHzBAUD_M = EEPROM Address 0x43BAUD_E = EEPROM Address 0x44Table 5: Baud Rate / Interface TimeoutDesired Baud Rate Baud (0x42) Minium Interface Timeout1 (0x58)1.

21ZB2430 User’s Manual - v1.6 SERIAL INTERFACEwww.lairdtech.com/wirelessINTERFACE TIMEOUT / RF PACKET SIZEInterface Timeout – Interface Timeout specifies a maximum byte gap between consecutive bytes. When that byte gap isexceeded, the bytes in the transmit buffer are processed as a complete packet. Interface Timeout (EEPROM address 0x58), inconjunction with the RF Packet Size, determines when a buffer of data will be sent out over the RF as a complete RF packet, basedon whichever condition occurs first.RF Packet Size - RF Packet Size is used in conjunction with Interface Timeout to determine when to delineate incoming data asan entire packet based on whichever condition is met first. When the transceiver receives the number of bytes specified by RFPacket Size (EEPROM address 0x5A) without experiencing a byte gap equal to Interface Timeout, that block of data is processedas a complete packet. Every packet the transceiver sends over the RF contains extra header bytes not counted in the RF PacketSize. Therefore, it is much more efficient to send a few large packets than to send many short packets.Stop Bit Delay - For systems using the RS-485 interface, the RS-485 DE pin might be deasserted Low too quickly at the end of apacket (especially at slower interface baud rates). Stop Bit Delay (EEPROM address 0x3F) controls how long RS-485 DE shouldbe left High at the end of a packet before dropping it Low and disabling the RS-485 driver circuitry. Generally, it should be setgreater than or equal to two byte times. FLOW CONTROLAlthough flow control is not required for transceiver operation, it is recommended to achieve optimum system performance and toavoid overrunning the ZB2430’s serial buffers. The ZB2430 uses seperate buffers for incoming and outgoing data.RXD Data Buffer and CTSAs data is sent from the OEM Host to the radio over the serial interface, it is stored in the ZB2430’s buffer until the radio is readyto transmit the data packet. As discussed in “Interface Modes” on page 19, the radio waits to transmit the data until one of thefollowing conditions occur (whichever occurs first):ENGINEER’S TIPUsing a non-standard baud rate.The ZB2430 supports a majority of standard as well as non-standard baud rates. To select a standardbaud rate, use the value shown for EEPROM address 0x42 in Table 5 above. To enable a non-standardbaud rate, program EEPROM address 0x42 (Custom Baud Enable) to 0xE3 and then use the equationabove to solve for BAUD_M and BAUD_E.Stop Bit Delay 20Baud Rate 1ms×()-----------------------------------------------=

SERIAL INTERFACE22• The RF packet size is reached (EEPROM address 0x5B)• An Interface Timeout occurs (EEPROM address 0x58)After sending the packet over the RF the data continues to be stored in the buffer until the radio receives an RF Acknowledgement(ACK) from the receiving radio (addressed mode), or all transmit retries/broadcast attempts have been utilized. Once an ACK hasbeen received or all retries/attempts have been exhausted, the current data packet is removed from the buffer and the radio willbegin processing the next data packet in the buffer.To prevent the radio’s RXD buffer from being overrun, it is strongly recommended that the OEM Host monitor the radio’s CTSoutput. When the number of bytes in the RXD buffer reaches the value specified by CTS_ON (EEPROM address 0x5C), the radiode-asserts (High) CTS to signal to the OEM Host to stop sending data over the serial interface. CTS is re-asserted after the numberof bytes in the RXD buffer is reduced to the value specified by CTS_OFF (EEPROM address 0x5D); signalling to the OEM Hostthat it may resume sending data to the transceiver.Note: It is recommended that the OEM Host cease all data transmission to the radio while CTS is de-asserted (High); otherwisepotential data loss may occur.TXD Data Buffer and RTSAs data to be forwarded to the OEM Host accumulates, it is stored in the ZB2430’s outgoing buffer until the radio is ready to beginsending the data to the OEM Host. Once the data packet has been sent to the Host over the serial interface, it will be removed fromthe buffer and the radio will begin processing the next data packet in the buffer.With RTS Mode disabled, the transceiver will send any data to the OEM Host as soon as it has data to send. However, some OEMHosts are not able to accept data from the transceiver all of the time. With RTS Mode Enabled, the OEM Host can prevent thetransceiver from sending it a data by de-asserting RTS (High), causing the transceiver to store the data in its buffer. Once RTS isre-asserted (Low), the transceiver will continue sending data to the OEM Host, beginning with any data stored in its buffer.Note: Leaving RTS de-asserted for too long can cause data loss once the radio’s TXD buffer reaches capacity.NETWORKINGPAN ID - PAN ID (EEPROM address 0x79) is a 16-bit field and is similar to a password or network number and helpsdifferentiate collocated networks. A transceiver will not be associated with a network unless its PAN ID and Channel Numbermatch that of the Coordinator. Range is 0x0000 to 0x3FFF.RF Channel Number - (EEPROM Address 0x40) Channels 0x0B - 0x1A; 5 MHz spacing. The transceiver will operate only onthe RF Channel Number specified in the EEPROM.Note: The ZB2430-Q is not approved for use on channel 0x1A and the channel number should therefore be selected accordingly.ENGINEER’S TIPCan I implement a design using just TXD, RXD and Gnd (Three-wire Interface)?Yes. However, it is strongly recommended that your hardware monitor the CTS pin of the radio. CTS istaken High by the radio when its interface buffer is getting full. Your hardware should stop sending atthis point to avoid a buffer overrun (and subsequent loss of data).You can perform a successful design without monitoring CTS. However, you need to take into accountthe amount of latency the radio adds to the system, any additional latency caused by Transmit Retries,how often you send data, non-delivery network timeouts and interface data rate and the size of thepackets. Laird Technologies can assist in determining whether CTS is required for your application.

23ZB2430 User’s Manual - v1.6 SERIAL INTERFACEwww.lairdtech.com/wirelessFigure 7: IEEE 802.15.4 RF ChannelsChannel Select - When enabled in EEPROM (EEPROM address 0x56, bit-3) the Coordinator will select a channel permitted bythe Channel Mask with the least amount of energy present. The Coordinator will start on the first channel and if RF energy isdetected or another network is detected, it will change to the next channel. This continues for all the channels and then the clearestchannel is selected.When a Router is powered on, it will scan each channel; periodically sending beacons and searching for a parent. When the parentreceives a beacon from the Router, it sends an acknowledgement to the Router, and the Router is associated with that parent.When disabled in EEPROM, the Coordinator will use the RF Channel programmed at EEPROM address 0x40 to establish it’snetwork.Channel Mask - The Channel Mask (EEPROM Address 0x30) is a 32-bit field which specifies the range of allowable channelsthat the radio can select from when choosing an RF channel. In order for two devices to communicate, a common channel must beselected. At least one channel must be selected (set to 1).To use the Channel Mask, enable Channel Select (EEPROM Address 0x56, bit 3). When Channel Select is enabled, the radiodisregards the Channel specified at EEPROM address 0x40. When Channel Select is disabled, only the Channel specified atEEPROM Address 0x40 will be used.Examples:The example shown in Figure 8 below enables all 2.4GHz channels for possible use by selecting 0x07FFF800 as the ChannelMask. The Channel Mask enables you to allow all or to exclude specific channels from selection. The example in Figure 9 showschannels 0x14-0x1A as the only available channels to select from. Finally Figure 10 below shows channels 0x0B-0x10 as the onlyavailable channels to select from.Table 6: RF Channel Number SettingsRadio Model RF Channel Number Range (0x40) Frequency Details & Regulatory requirements CountriesZB2430-D 0x0B - 0x1A 2400 - 2475 MHz Pending ApprovalZB2430-Q 0x0B - 0x19 2400 - 2465 MHz Global

25ZB2430 User’s Manual - v1.6 SERIAL INTERFACEwww.lairdtech.com/wirelessPOWER DOWN MODESPower down modes allow the ZB2430 to operate at minimum current consumption while not in use. The ZB2430 provides twosuch modes (End Devices only).• Cyclic Sleep (Wake periodically based on software-controlled timer or pin interupt)• Deep Sleep (Wake on pin interrupt)In order for a module to transition into Sleep mode, the Sleep_Int pin (pin 12) must be logic High or floating. If this pin is pulledLow, the device will be forced out of Sleep mode and will not be allowed to Sleep until the pin returns to the High state. While inSleep mode, the module will not transmit/receive data until after waking up.Cyclic SleepIn Cyclic Sleep mode the End Device will wake periodically to request data from its Parent device. The rate at which the modulewakes up to check for data is adjustable in EEPROM (EEPROM address 0x34, 16-bits) in 1 ms increments with a default settingof 1000ms. The device will wakeup for the period specified by the End Device Wake time (EEPROM address 0x3B), send a datarequest to its Parent, and then return to sleep until the next cycle.Note: Setting the sleep rate to 0x0000 forces the module into Deep Sleep mode (see below).Deep SleepDeep sleep mode is a power-down mode in which the ZB2430 automatically transitions to Sleep mode after having associated withthe Network. While in Deep Sleep mode, the device will not wake up until interrupted by the Sleep_Int pin. To wake the deviceout of Deep Sleep mode, Sleep_Int must be pulled logic Low. The device will return to Deep Sleep mode after Sleep_Int isreturned to the High state.Table 7: Sleep Mode SettingsSleep Mode Transition to Sleep Transition to Wake Current Draw (mA)Cyclic Sleep Automatic transition to Sleepmode after sending Data Requestto Parent Device or Sleep_Int isasserted High. End Device waketime can also be configured in theEEPROM (EEPROM address0x3B).Automatic transition to Wake mode occursafter an EEPROM selectable period or man-ual transition when Sleep_Int is pulled logicLow.ZB2430: 0.5 uAZB2430-100: 7.6 uADeep Sleep Automatic transition to Sleepmode occurs after device has suc-cessfully associated with Net-work.Manual transition to Wake mode occursafter Sleep_Int is pulled logic Low.

If the module wakes while receiving data over the UART, it will only see the data received since waking up.• Incoming RF packets to the module will not keep it awake unless you enable Modify Wake upon RX in EEPROM (EEPROM address 0x45, bit-5).• When sending data for the module to transmit, it is recommended that the module be forced awake using the Sleep_Int pin until the module is finished transmitting the data. .• While the module is being kept awake using the Sleep_Int pin, it will send data requests to its Parent Device based on the Wake Poll rate specified in EEPROM (EEPROM address 0x3C) for as long as it is awake.• A Parent will only store data for a sleeping End Device for a maximum amount of time specified by the Parent Hold Message EEPROM parameter (EEPROM address 0x39).

www.lairdtech.com/wirelessCONFIGURING THE ZB24307The ZB2430 can be configured using the CC Configuration Commands. These commands can be issued using either Hardware orSoftware Configuration. To use Hardware Configuration, the Command/Data pin of a transceiver must be asserted Low. SoftwareConfiguration can be used by entering AT Command Mode before issuing the CC commands.Figure 11: ZB2430 Configuration FlowUse AT Commands?Receive ModeAssert CMD/Data Pin Low (Hardware Configuration)Send Enter AT Command Mode command (Software Configuration)Send CC Commands? Exit Command ModeIn AT Command Mode?Send CC CommandSend Another CC Command? Send Exit AT Command De-assert CMD/Data pin HighYesYesYesYes

CONFIGURING THE ZB243028AT COMMANDSThe AT Command mode implemented in the ZB2430 creates a virtual version of the Command/Data pin. The “Enter ATCommand Mode” Command asserts this virtual pin Low (to signify Command Mode) and the “Exit AT Command Mode”Command asserts this virtual pin High (to signify Data). Once this pin has been asserted Low, all On-the-Fly CC Commandsdocumented in the manual are supported.On-the-Fly Control CommandsThe ZB2430 transceiver contains static memory that holds many of the parameters that control the transceiver operation. Usingthe “CC” command set allows many of these parameters to be changed during system operation. Because the memory thesecommands affect is static, when the transceiver is reset, these parameters will revert back to the settings stored in the EEPROM. While in Command mode, the incoming RF interface of the transceiver is active and packets sent from other transceivers will stillbe received; however no outgoing RF packets will be sent. The transceiver uses Interface Timeout/RF Packet Size to determinewhen a CC Command is complete. Therefore, there should be no delay between each character as it is sent from the OEM Host tothe transceiver or the transceiver will not recognize the command.When an invalid command is sent, the radio discards the data and no response is sent to the OEM Host. Table 8 below shows aquick summary of the basic configuration & diagnostic commands available on the ZB2430.

www.lairdtech.com/wirelessAPI OPERATION9API Operation is a powerful alternative to the default Transparent operation of the ZB2430 and provides dynamic packet routingand packet accounting abilities to the OEM Host without requiring extensive programming by the OEM Host.. API operationutilizes specific packet formats; specifying various vital parameters used to control radio settings and packet routing on a packet-by-packet basis. The API features can be used in any combination that suits the OEM’s specific needs and can be differentbetween radios operating on the same network.API Transmit PacketAPI Transmit Packet is a powerful command that allows the OEM Host to send data to a single or multiple (broadcast) transceiverson a packet-by-packet basis. This can be useful for many applications; including polling and/or mesh networks.API Transmit Packet is enabled when bit-1 of the API Control byte is enabled. The OEM Host should use the format shown inFigure 12 below to transmit a packet over the RF.Figure 12: Transmit API packet formatAPI Send Data CompleteAPI Send Data complete can be used as a software acknowledgement indicator. When a radio sends an addressed packet, it willlook for a received acknowledgement (transparent to the OEM Host). If an acknowledgement is not received, the packet will beretransmitted until one is received or all retries have been exhausted.For applications where data loss is not an option, the OEM Host may wish to monitor the acknowledgement process using the APISend Data Complete. If an acknowledgement is not received (Failure), the OEM Host can send the packet to the transceiver onceagain.API Send Data Complete is enabled when bit-2 of the API Control byte is enabled. The transceiver sends the OEM Host the datashown in Figure 13 upon receiving an RF acknowledge or exhausting all attempts.DataRequest0x81Start DelimiterByte 2: Payload Data Lenth (0x00 – 0x54)Byte 3: Reserved.

It will never report successfulthough unless the packet absolutely arrived.Figure 13: Send Data Complete packet formatAPI Receive PacketBy default, the source MAC is not included in the received data string sent to the OEM Host. For applications where multipleradios are sending data, it may be necessary to determine the origin of a specific data packet. When API Receive Packet isenabled, all packets received by the transceiver will include the MAC address of the source radio as well as an RSSI indicatorwhich can be used to determine the link quality between the two.API Receive Packet is enabled when bit-0 of the API Control byte is enabled. Upon receiving a RF packet, the radio sends itsOEM Host the data as shown in Figure 14 below.Figure 14: Receive API packet formatDataRequest0x82Start DelimiterDataCoordinator/RouterByte 2; TX CostByte 3: RX CostByte 4: Success0x00: Fail0x01; SuccessEnd DeviceByte 2; 0xFFByte 3: 0xFFByte 4: Success0x00: Fail0x01: SuccessDataRequest0x81Start DelimiterBytes 2-3: Payload Data Length.

www.lairdtech.com/wirelessZB2430 ADDRESSING10Every ZB2430 transceiver module has a unique static 64-bit MAC address that is programmed at the factory. Upon joining thenetwork, the device is assigned a 16-bit NWK Address. The NWK address only changes on initial power-up and when a NV Resetcommand is issued to the radio.In Figure 15 four nodes with the three LSBs of each of their MAC addresses are shown.Figure 15: ZigBee Addressing by MAC - Node 0 to Node 3In previous sections (see “Mesh Routing (AODV)” on page 15), the Ad-Hoc On-Demand Vector routing protocol, Route Requestsand Replies were discussed. Fortunately, the routing, RREQ’s and RREP’s are not left up to the OEM Host and are all taken careof by the ZigBee protocol embedded in the ZB2430. A message can therefore be sent to a device anywhere on the network onceits 16-bit NWK address is known.Using the same example as before, assume that Node 0 needs to send a message to Node 3 which is out of Node 0’s range. Thiscan be done using the procedure below (note that the underlined values will vary from radio to radio):1.
