1 IntroductiontoZigBee
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols using
small, low-power digital radios based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for personal area
networks. ZigBee devices are often used in mesh network form to transmit data over
longer distances, passing data through intermediate devices to reach more distant ones.
This allows ZigBee networks to be formed ad-hoc, with no centralized control or
high-power transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the devices. Any ZigBee device can
be tasked with running the network.
ZigBee is targeted at applications that require a low data rate, long battery life, and
secure networking. ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for periodic or
intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input device.
Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with in-home-displays,
traffic management systems, and other consumer and industrial equipment that requires
short-range wireless transfer of data at relatively low rates. The technology defined by
the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other
WPANs.

2 IntroductiontotheZT‐USBSeries
The Basis of ZT-USB Series Product
The ZT-USB series modules are small-sized wireless ZigBee converters based on
the IEEE802.15.4 standard that allow USB interface to be converted to a personal area
ZigBee network. The typical transmission of ICP DAS ZT-USB series ZigBee products is
60 meters (LOS, line of sight), with a transmission frequency range of between 2.405
GHz and 2.48 GHz, separated into 5 MHz sectors, providing 16 channels and 16384
PAN IDs. ZT-USB series is not only a long distance wireless converter but also can act a
ZigBee router to extend the transmission range and improve the quality of wireless
signal.
ZT-USB series products are specification for a suite of high level communication
protocols using small, low-power digital radios module, which are fitted the ZigBee 2007
(ZigBee Pro) of ZigBee Alliance. In the ZigBee network, it is only allowed one ZigBee
Host and called “ZigBee Coordinator”, ZT-USBC is used to initialize and manager the
routing. In addition, One ZigBee network are able to manager 255 ZigBee router and
responsible for receiving or bypassing data from parent or child node.
The Benefits of ZT-USB Series Product
A Windows compatible GUI configuration utility is available. The utility allows users
to set different configurations based on the type of application, together with several of
required ZigBee variables such as Pan ID. The friendly user interface is also helping
user be familiar with ZT-USB and ZT-2000 series.
