1Introduction
USB 300 is a small USB stick which connects PC’s, consumer devices,
DSL boxes and other USB master devices to the world of EnOcean
based radio products.
USB 300 is equipped with the TCM 310 transceiver module and the
gateway controller software. It provides a bidirectional EnOcean radio
with USB interface. Radio messages are sent through the virtual seri-
al interface in both directions from and to an externally connected
USB host.

V1.1 November 2011 Page 5
USB 300 sends and receives EnOcean telegrams including signal
strength. Additional control commands can be sent, e.g. to configure
repeater functionality.
Further information about supported commands and the software
features can be found within the TCM 310 user manual:
http://www.enocean.com/en/enocean_modules/tcm-310
USB 300 is available for 868 MHz and 315 MHz:
•USB 300 (868MHz) has been CE certified and conforms to the
R&TTE EU directive on radio equipment
•USB 300C (315MHz) conforms to the FCC / IC requirements

4Documentation of Protocols and EnOcean Profiles
•Plug’n play device drivers are available from USB chip manufacturer
FTDI Limited for the operating systems Microsoft Windows, Linux and
Apple Mac OS: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
•If you want to develop for other host platforms, you can use or adapt
available C-source code for Linux OS from FTDI Website:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
•USB 300 uses EnOcean Serial Protocol 3 for control commands and
data communication. A description of ESP 3 is available at:
http://www.enocean.com/en/knowledge-base/
USB 300 is based on a TCM 310 radio module, specific features and
commands are described at:
http://www.enocean.com/en/enocean_modules/tcm-310/
•The content of EnOcean radio telegrams is standardized by the EnOcean
Alliance. You will find the latest definition of EnOcean Equipment Pro-
files (EEP) at: http://www.enocean-alliance.org/

5Additional Features of USB 300
•USB 300 can be used as repeater of EnOcean telegrams; this will ex-
pand the range of radio devices. Repeater command has to be sent after
every power up. For details see ESP3 command description of
CO_WR_REPEATER within the ESP3 description:
•USB 300 can filter EnOcean telegrams; this can avoid heavy data load
for the host system. For details see ESP3 command description of
CO_WR_FILTER_ADD within the ESP3 description.
•USB 300 supports remote management of self-powered radio nodes.
For details see TCM 310 and ESP3 command description of RE-
MOTE_MAN_COMMAND within the ESP3 description.
•USB 300 supports smart acknowledge of self-powered radio nodes.
This feature enables bidirectional communication for self-powered radio
nodes. For details see TCM 310 and ESP3 command description of
SMART_ACK_COMMAND within the ESP3 description.
•ESP3 documentation is available at:
http://www.enocean.com/en/knowledge-base/
Hint:
For advanced analysis and protocol debugging we recommend our EnOcean Developer Kit
EDK 300 with DolphinView Advanced and Sniffer Software on TCM 3x0.

7Restrictions and Hints
•USB 300(C) should not be exposed to rapid temperature changes shortly
before or during operation. Condensation of moisture might damage the
device.
•USB 300(C) is not intended to be used in rough environment with heavy
vibrations or mechanical shocks.
•The USB front cap is used as handling protection during delivery.
•Some PCs, notebooks or set top boxes might emit electromagnetic noise
in the frequency area used by USB 300 (868MHz) or USB 300C
(315MHz). This could lead to reduced radio range and/or reduced RSSI
level. In most cases a shielded USB cable between this host devices and
USB 300(C) will reduce this effect.
•Installation location of radio nodes should be carefully planned. Applica-
tion note AN001 at http://www.enocean.com/en/application-notes/
will explain basic rules.
•USB 300C (315 MHz) usage with PC or notebook: EnOcean recommends
the usage of USB extension cord (>=30cm) to reduce noise level of PCs.

V1.1 November 2011 Page 13
•Any USB 300 configurations done by ESP3 commands (e.g. repeater on,
filter, maturity time) will be lost in case of power off. If you need these
configurations permanent, make sure USB 300 has continues power or
resend commands after power down.
•For advanced analysis and protocol debugging we recommend EnOcean
Developer Kit EDK 300 with DolphinView Advanced and Sniffer Software
on TCM 3x0.
•USB 300 has been optimized for cyclic sending/receiving status values
and not for continuous data communication; therefore the radio interface
is limited to receive approx. 90 telegrams per second.
