FZ100BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
1-2. FZ100BS Overview
(1) To configure the Zigbee network, set each device (FZ100BS) to Coordinator, Router and End
Device.
The initial factory set value of FZ100BS is set to Router.
(2) Do not use Broadcast accompanied by a lot of traffic in the Zigbee network unless it is vital to be
used.
It is not recommended to make a lot of traffic in the Zigbee network because it causes lots of trouble
when transmitting data and bothers to set the new route toward target devices.
(3) Do not set short time for data transmission in the Zigbee Network. The more nodes the Zigbee
Network has, the longer time for transmission time should be set.
Example.1) Zigbee Network Contribution using 10 FZ100BSs
Set a time space to 2seconds for data transmission between FZ100BSs.
(set 2sec minimally per 10 FZ100BSs)
Example.2) Zigbee Network Contribution using 20 FZ100BSs
Set a time space to 4seconds for data transmission between FZ100BSs.
(set 2sec minimally per 10 FZ100BSs*2=4sec)
It is not recommended to make a lot of traffic in the Zigbee Network.
10

FZ100BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
(4) Coordinator and Router can configure child nodes up to 8
(5) End Devices cannot configure Child nodes
Setting FZ100BS to End Devices should be prior to the Zigbee Network Configuration. If you want to
change the device type of FZ100BS from Router to End Device in the Zigbee Network, you had
better re-configure the whole Zigbee Network in advance.
FZ100BS can configure Child nodes after they are set to Routers and participated in the Zigbee
Network. Also, other devices can participate in the Zigbee Network by setting the FZ100BS set to
Routers to their parent nodes, as well. If you change the FZ100BS set to parent nodes to End
Devices, the current End Devices cannot configure child nodes. In this situation, it is possibly can
happen that other devices set the Routers to their parent nodes before the Routers are changed to
End devices.
FZ100BS supports mesh network, so you can expect the stable Zigbee Network. However, in order
to make sure of proper Zigbee Network configuration, FZ100BS of child nodes had better save
FZ100BSs set to Router (or coordinator) as their parent nodes
Thus, you had better set the type of each Device (especially End Device) before the Zigbee Network
Configuration.

FZ100BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
(6) FZ100BS can configure the Zigbee Network up to 4 Depth.
(7) FZ100BS configures the Zigbee Network with one Coordinator.
(8) FZ100BS can transmit data by multipath because it supports mesh network.
Contribute the Zigbee Network which has multipath.
(9) If you input Serial data into FZ100BS, It transmits the Serial data to its target device.
(10) FZ100BS has 3 STATUS LED for showing the status of the Device.
(OK Status LED, ERROR Status LED, Condition Status LED)
(11) When you transmit data by using FZ100BS, you need to check the result value for the transmission
through the OK/ERROR Status LED.
12

FZ100BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
13
(12) FZ100BS has an IEEE ADDRESS and a NETWORK ADDRESS.
64 Bit IEEE ADDRESS is a physical address of FZ100BS.
Every device has its own IEEE ADDRESS and the IEEE ADDRESS is not changeable.
FZ100BS set target devices by using IEEE ADDRESS.
In conclusion, “target device set-up” is an inquiry using IEEE ADDRESS for NETWORK ADDRESS
of its target devices
FZ100BS has a 16 Bit of NETWORK ADDRESS for the Zigbee Network communication.
NETWORK ADDRESS is given when FZ100BS participates in the Zigbee Network.
NETWORK ADDRESS can be changed depending on the Zigbee Network Configuration.
NETWORK ADDRESS cannot be shown unless FZ100BS participates in the Zigbee Network.
FZ100BS performs data transmission by using NETWORK ADDRESS.
(13) If you configure the Zigbee Network and perform data transmission, the result value is shown as
[volume of received data > volume of transmitted data]
FZ100BS on a MAC layer automatically re-transmits data depending on the Zigbee Network
Configuration.
In case of using ACK option, FZ100BS on an application layer automatically re-transmits data
depending on the Zigbee Network Configuration. Thus, Received data could be more than 2
depending on the Zigbee network configuration even if only one data is transmitted.

FZ100BS Manual VERSION 0.1.0
※ < Routing table update of FZ100BS >
Routing table is assigned to each FZ100BS after the Zigbee Network Configuration.
Below is the Zigbee network status when data is transmitted from Router2 to Router1
to Coordinator.
Data is input into Router2, the Router2 transmits the data to Router1, and then the
Router1 transmits the data to Coordinator. Consequently, the data inputted into
Router2 is transmitted to Coordinator by routing table belonging to Router2 and
Router1
If Router 1 is in abnormal status in the Zigbee Network, Router2 cannot
transmit data, and shows its error status through ERROR LED.
When ACK Option is disabled (NACK communication) of FZ100BS, Device is
automatically reset and Router2 creates a new routing table if the Router2
happens to show its error status 5times successively through the ERROR LED
because of the abnormal Router1. Multipath set-up is required ahead of the
time to update the routing table.
When the ACK Option of FZ100BS is enabled (ACK communication), users
should control the routing table directly to update it. If the data transmission is successively failed,
users need to reset its target device’s address (same as the existing one) and the Device.

7. Zigbee network Configuration
To configure the Zigbee Network, set up a FZ100BS DEVICE.
The following is a procedure for FZ100BS Set-up using Serial communication (HyperTerminal)
Program.
The signal speed of FZ100BS is basically 115200bps.
7-1. Serial Communication (Hyper Terminal) Program Execute
Select [Start][All Programs][Accessories][Communication][Hyper Terminal] in order, and
then a window for Connection Set-up comes up. Put a name in the name blank, and click the OK
button.
When a window for Connection target comes up, select COM ports connected to FZ100BS, and click
the OK button.

Select each blank as below “Bit/sec: 115200, data Bit: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None”,
and click the OK button. Hyper Terminal is executed.
Hyper Terminal simply does not show any letters inputted.
If you check on “Display the letters inputted on the Terminal” to get to know what letters are inputted,
the Recommends between FZ100BS and Hyper Terminal are mixed up. Do not check this.

7-2. Set-up FZ100BS Device Type
Zigbee Device is classified as Coordinator, Router, and End Device by objective of its operation.
There should be Coordinator in the Zigbee Network. A Coordinator should exist in a Zigbee Network.
Coordinator manages the Network in the Zigbee Network.
Router extends the Network in the Zigbee Network.
End Device participates in the zigbee Network using low power consumption.
Router and End Device are automatically participated in the Network once Coordinator configures the
Zigbee Network.
Note: Please, refer to the following when you try to configure the Zigbee Network.
1. Do not turn the power of the Device set to Coordinator ON before all devices’ types are set.
2. If you already set the rest type of each Device and operate them with the Coordinator that the power
is turned on, execute Factory Reset for the devices set to Coordinator and Router.
Before the Factory reset, the power of the Coordinator and the Router should be turned OFF. After the
Factory reset is done, set each Device to Coordinator and Router, and turn on the power of all
devices. The Zigbee Network shall be properly configured.
3. Do not change the Device Type of FZ100BS once the Zigbee Network is configured.
※ It is better to set Coordinator and Router again(Factory Reset) if the Device Type of FZ100BS is
changed after the Zigbee Network is already configured.
※ See if the Zigbee Network is configured before resetting FZ100BS to initial set value. The FZ100BS
reset automatically participates in the Zigbee Network if the Zigbee Network still exists there.
