3 Introductionofconfigurations
Overview of the ZT-257x Configurations Options/Parameters
1. “Pan ID” is the group identity of a ZigBee network, and must be the same if
they are in the same ZigBee network.
(Valid values range from 0x0000 to 0x3FFF)
2. “Node ID” is the identity of the ZigBee module.
The identity number must be unique if it is in the same ZigBee network as
other ZigBee module. (Valid values range from 0x0001 to 0xFFF7 for a ZigBee
Router, but is fixed to 0x0000 for a ZigBee Coordinator)
3. “RF Channel” indicates the radio frequency channel, and must be set to the
same channel if the module is in the same ZigBee network as other ZigBee
modules.
Channel 0x00 0x01 …… 0x0F
Frequency(MHz) 2405 2410 …… 2480
Use application tools or analyzers to detect the wireless signal, chose a RF
Channel which has not been occupied. E.g. Wifi Analyzer
As below the screenshot shown, there were several WLANs over the channel
1, 6 and 11. Referring to the channel table of WiFi and ZigBee, the channels of
ZigBee 4, 9, E and F are not overlap with WLAN. So, the RF Channel 4, 9, E
and F of ZigBee are recommended in this case.

4. Communication Speed (Broadcasting Frame Sending Interval):
The packet payload of ZT-2000 series devices is 79 bytes. Data above 79
bytes will be transmitted in several packets. This parameter decides the
broadcasting frame sending interval time to avoid the network overloading.
User only fills in the number of ZT-2000 slaves nearby the ZigBee Coordinator.

5. “RF Power” denotes the wireless transmit power value.
Code Note
0x0F Typical Maximum
0x08 Fit the CE/FCC certification
0x00 Typical Minimum
※ The parameter adjustment purely personal behavior, ICP DAS can not guarantee to
pass CE/FCC certification if adjusting this parameter, nor assume any liability because
of the adjustment parameters derived from the RF Power.
6. “Baud rate & Data Format” values are based on the configuration of the
serial port.
Item Specification
Data Format N81, N82, O71, O81, E71, E81, S81, M81
Baud rate 1200 ~ 115200 bps
7. Communication Interface is three types provided as below.
a. Serial Port：RS-232 and RS-485 are enabled and it allows working with
Ethernet at the same time.
b. Ethernet：Either TCP Server or TCP Client is enabled and it allows
working with RS-232 or RS-485 at the same time.
c. Virtual COM：Virtual COM driver needs to be installed in the desktop and
the COM is working independently to the serial and Ethernet.
※ Download: http://www.icpdas.com/products/Software/VxComm/vxcomm.htm
※ Note: Please select “Fixed baud rate” if the virtual COM is not in the 115200 bps and
N81 format.
8. Configurations of TCP：
ZT-257x device
IP IP must be the same segment with LAN segment of desktop
Mask Mask must be the same with LAN of desktop
Gateway Gateway must be the same with LAN of desktop
Port User port will listen to connection request when it acts TCP Server
Connection Target (Need to set when it acts TCP Client)
IP The IP of connection target
Port The port of connection target

a. Transparent Mode is the default application mode, and always
transmits data to the remote device via broadcasting. Unless there are
specific purposes, the application mode can be retained as default.
The mode always bypasses data to remote side via broadcasting. If
there is no particular purpose, user only keeps this application mode.
Module Frame Type Note
ZT-2570 Broadcast Data will be sent to all ZigBee slaves
ZT-2571 Unicast Data will only be sent to the coordinator
[Eg1] When ZT-2550 ZigBee Host sends “DATA_01” via broadcasting frame,
→Both of the ZigBee slave 0x0001 and 0x0002 will receive the DATA_01.
※ Broadcasting type frame, data will be sent to every ZigBee slaves in the same
ZigBee network
[Eg2] When the ZigBee slave 0x0001 sends “DATA_02” via unicast frame,
→Only ZT-2550 receives DATA_02.
※ Unicast type frame, data will only be sent to the ZigBee host

b. Addressable Mode is an advanced application mode and it is used to
send data to specific ZigBee nodes. It is not only used to transmit data
to specific ZigBee slaves from host but also transmit data between
ZigBee slaves. A 5-byte ASCII code should be added as an index before
the data.
Module Frame Type Note
ZT-2570
ZT-2571 Unicast Data will be sent to a specific ZigBee slave. Format: “:AAAA” + Data
[Eg1] When ZT-2550 ZigBee Host sends “:0001DATA_01” via unicast frame,
→Only the ZigBee Slave 0x0001 receives DATA_01.
※ Unicast type frame, data will be only sent to the specific ZigBee node
[Eg2] When ZigBee slave 0x0001 sends “:0002DATA_02” via unicast frame,
→Only the ZigBee Slave 0x0002 receives DATA_02.
※ Unicast type frame, data will be only sent to the specific ZigBee node

c. Gateway Mode is an advanced application mode and it is used to
convert the Modbus protocol. Data is regarded as Modbus RTU if
communicates through via RS-232 or RS-485, else data is regarded as
Modbus TCP if it communicates via the Ethernet.
Module Frame Type Note
ZT-2570 Broadcast Data will be sent to all ZigBee slaves
ZT-2571 Unicast Data will only be sent to the coordinator
[Eg1] When ZT-2570 receives data “MRTU_CMD_01” from serial port,
→ZT-2571 will output the data “MRTU_CMD_01” directly to serial port.
→ZT-2571 will convert protocol then output “MTCP_CMD_01” to Ethernet.
※ Broadcasting type frame, data will be sent to every ZigBee slaves in the same
ZigBee network
[Eg2] When ZT-2570 receives data “MTCP_CMD_02” from Ethernet,
→ZT-2571 will convert protocol then output “MRTU_CMD_01” to serial port.→
ZT-2571 will output the data “MTCP_CMD_01” directly to Ethernet.
※ Broadcasting type frame, data will be sent to every ZigBee slaves in the same
ZigBee network
[Eg3] When ZT-2571 transmits the acknowledgement “MRTU_ACK_03”,
→ZT-2570 will response the acknowledgement “MRTU_ACK_03” directly to serial
port.
→ZT-2570 will convert protocol then output “MTCP_CMD_01” to Ethernet.
※ Unicast type frame, data will only be sent to the ZigBee host
※ There is an “Advanced Settings” to the for some specific user, please refer the user
