2 Getting Started
Creating a ZigBee network using the ZS10adapters consists of the following steps:
Connect a power source to the ZS10 adapter
Create a ZigBee network by configuring a ZS10adapter as the coordinator
Configure ZS10 adapters as routers. This step is optional since the coordinator works as a router
too.
Configure ZS10 adapters as end devices
Transmit data betweenZS10 devices
This chapter describes how to install the ZS10 adapters and how to use terminal software programs to
access the ZS10 adapters using AT commands for configurations and operations. The rest of the steps
including ZigBee network creation, coordinator/router/end-device configurations and data transmissions
are described in the following chapters. The more detailed information on the paneland the configuration
examples are also provided in the later chapter.

2.2.2 Button
ZS10 adapter provides2 buttons for user convenience as below.
Table 2-2 The ProBee-ZS10 Buttons
Button Description
Reset
This input is dedicated for the factory reset button. If user wants to restore the ZS10
device settings to factory default, this input needs to be pressed for more than two
seconds. It will be applied after the input released again. If this button is pressed while
the ZS10 starts, the local node enters bootloader menu and it is possible to upload the
firmware.
Function
This input is used to permit joining or interrupt sleeping. The functions depend on the
node type of the ZS10. If the node is set to coordinator or router, this input works to
permit other nodes joining for S-register 22 value. If the node is set to sleepy end-
device, it is used for wake-up interruptsignal when the node is sleeping.
2.2.3 Dipswitch
With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, baud rate, data bit, parity, stop bit and hardware flow control
can be set.

* Note: You cannot set the ZS10 to a baud rate of 1200 or 230K by way of the dipswitch. If you want to
use them, to set these speeds, please configure the dipswitch to S/W Config setting and use ProBee
Manager or AT commands. Please refer to ProBee Manager and the section 5.8 UART for the
configuration.
2.3 Using Terminal Software for AT Commands
Once the hardware installation is complete, the ZS10 unit is ready to communicate with the computer
using the AT commands using a terminal emulation software. You can use any kind of terminal emulation
software. This document assumes HyperTerminal is used. If you are using Windows Vista or 7,
HyperTerminal is no longer included in the Windows so you need to download HyperTerminal from the
Internet. For more details on HyperTerminal, please refer to Microsoft web page.
Once the HyperTerminal is installed, launch HyperTerminal and select the serial port that is connected to
the ZS10 panel and enter the serial settings to use. The default serial settings of the ZS10 are 9600 bps,
8 data bit, none parity, 1 stop bit, hardware flow control.

3 ZigBee Network Configuration
A ZigBee Network consists of a coordinator, routers and end devices. A minimal ZigBee network consists
of one coordinator and multiple end devices which directly connect to the coordinator. For larger ZigBee
networks, routers are required to provide redundant routings to form mesh networks.
ZigBee Coordinator: The coordinator forms the root of the network tree and might bridge to
other networks. There is exactly one ZigBee coordinator in each network since the coordinator
starts the ZigBee network itself. It also stores information about the network, including acting as
the Trust Center & repository for security keys.
ZigBee Router: The routers are able to route messages between other devices. Since the
coordinator provides the routing functionality too, the routers are optional to form a ZigBee
network.
ZigBee End Device: The end device contains just enough functionality to talk to the parent node
which is either the coordinator or a router. It cannot relay data from other devices.
ZigBee Sleepy End Device: The sleepy end device is the same with normal end device except it
can stay in the sleep mode much longer. This relationship allows the end device to sleep
significant amount of the time and achieve the long battery life.
The ZS10 can be configured to work either as a coordinator, a router or an end device. Once the
operation mode of theZS10 is selected, corresponding parameters need to be set up appropriately. This
chapter explains how to configure the ZS10 operation mode and other parameters related to the ZigBee
network itself.
Table 3-1 ZigBee Node Types
Node Type Recommendationwhen to use ZS10
Coordinator It should be selected when it is first time to establish the network.
Router It is recommended when there is a network already and it needs to be expanded. A
router is suitable for fast and stable data transmissions and receptions.
End Device It is recommended when it doesn’t need to expand the network anymore and there
are enough nodes as parents. An end-deviceconsumes less power than a router.
Sleepy End Device It is recommended when the data transmissions occur rarely and in very small
quantities. A sleepy end device can lose data if sleep duration is too long, but it is
possible to consume extremely low power as low as 2uA.
3.1 Setting up ZS10 as a Coordinator
A coordinator relays messages and can act as a parent to other nodes. Every personal area network
(PAN) must be started by a node acting as the coordinator. This device is normally always powered on.
To set up the ZS10 to work as the coordinator, please follow thesteps as below

19
ProBee
-
ZS10 User Guide Rev.1.
1
.1
Configure the ZS10 node type as the coordinator
Optionally, select the channel mask. Otherwise, the ZS10 will use the default channel mask.
Optionally, set up the PAN ID and/or the extended PAN ID. Otherwise, the ZS10 will generate the
PAN ID and/or theextended PAN ID automatically.
Permit joining when other router or end device tries to join the ZigBee network.
3.1.1 Node Type Selection for Coordinator
The ZS10 adaptercan be configured as a ZigBee coordinator by the AT command as below:
AT+NODETYPE=n or AT+NT=n
Where n is 0 = none, 1 = coordinator, 2 = router, 3 = end-device, 4 = sleepy end-device
After the operation mode is selected, ATZ command should be performed to reset the unit to have the
change applied.
Example)
AT+NODETYPE=1<CR> # Set node type as the coordinator
OK<CR> # Response
ATZ<CR> # Apply the change
OK<CR> # Response
3.1.2 Channel Mask Configurationfor Coordinator
When the ZigBee coordinator starts, it scans predefined frequency channels to find the best frequency
channel to use without causing interference with other wireless devices. The user is able to specify the
channels to use with the AT command as below:
AT+CHMASK=n
Where n = channel mask to use. Default = 0x03FFF000
This value has a 32-bit hexadecimal unsigned integer. Each bit represents whether a channel will be used
or not. For example, to use a channel between 12 and 15, the 12, 13, 14 and 15 bits of the channel mask
should be 1 and all other bits should be 0. The default setting is 0x3FFF000 which means that all the
channels from 12 to 25 can be used. The ZS10 supports only the channels between 12 and 25, so 0~11
bits and 26~31 bits should be 0. Table 3-2 shows the bit mask for each channel.

3.1.3 PAN ID Configurationfor Coordinator
Every ZigBee network should be assigned a PAN ID to identify the network. If the PAN ID is 0000, the
ZS10 will generate a random 16-bit PAN ID to start the ZigBee network. Otherwise, the user can enter the
PAN ID using the AT command as below:
AT+PANID=xxxx
Where xxxx is PANID to use. For example, 12AB. Default setting is0000
When choosing a PAN ID, the user needs to make sure that there is no ZigBee network using the same
PAN ID. If the PANID is already used by another ZigBee network, the PAN ID is unavailable and the user
should choose a new PANID. In order to avoid this, PAN ID auto-generation is strongly recommended.
The user can also assign the 64-bit extended PAN ID to the ZS10 using the AT command below. If the
extended PAN ID is 0000000000000000, the ZS10 uses its IEEE address as the extended PAN ID. The
extended PANID cannot be shared with other ZigBee networks either.
AT+EPID=xxx … xxx
Where xxx … xxx isEPID to use. For example, 0123456789ABCDEF. Default setting is 000 … 000.
3.1.4 PermitJoining
When a router or an end device tries to join the ZigBee network, there should be at least one coordinator
or router which is permitting joining. If there is no router in the ZigBee network yet, the coordinator should
permit joining.The ZS10 provides three ways to permit joining are as follows:
Permanently permitting by configuration
Transiently permitting by AT command
Transiently permitting by digital input signal
If joining is permanently permitted, any device can join anytime. Since this will allow even an unidentified
deviceto join the network anytime, this mode should be selected with extra caution. The AT command to
permit joining permanently is as follows:
AT+PERMIT=255or AT+PJ=255
