2. Device Type
COO COO is the coordinator of a ZigBee network. It forms and maintains a network and normally acts as gateway, transforms data in and out of the ZigBee network. Device type code is EMBER_COORDINATOR (0x01). Router Router has routing ability but could not form a ZigBee network. It joins in an existing network and act as a router. It also allows other devices join in after itself has joined network. Device type code is EMBER_ROUTER (0x02). Non-Routing-Router (NRR) Non-Routing-Router is a Router but does not have routing ability. It is end device and not allows other devices join. Device code is 0x0A. Hand Hold Unit (HHU) HHU is a moving device and usually act as a survey tool of ZigBee network. It scans available ZigBee networks and joins in one of them and then sends diagnostic commands to target nodes. Device code is EMBER_MOBILE_END_DEVICE (0x05).

Example: AT+SETUART=0A-N Set UART to be: 38400-8-N-1 Device Type: All of the 4 device types, COO, Router, Non-Routing-Router, and HHU support this command. Note: The UART port only supports 8-bit byte format, and stop bit is fixed to 1 bit.

3.2 AT+SETPID=XXXX
Function: Configure 16 bit PANID of ZigBee network. Configured PANID will be stored in Non-Volatile (NV) memory and will not lose after power cycle. XXXX: 16 bit PANID, HEX format. Accept all value except 0xFFFF it is reserved for ZigBee specification. Device Type: COO, Router, and Non-Routing-Router. HHU does not support this command as it does not use a static PANID to join network. It scans for existing ZigBee network to join instead. Note1: ZigBee uses a 16-bit PANID to distinguish different networks which are running in same channel. ZigBee device will use this configured PANID to form/join network. Note2: Newly configured value will take effect after the ZigBee device is rebooted.

3.3 AT+SETCH=XX
Function: Configure communication channel (Frequency) of ZigBee devices. Configured channel will be stored in Non-Volatile (NV) memory and will not lose after power cycle.

command as it does not use pre-configured channel to join network. It scans for existing ZigBee network to join instead. Note1: ZigBee supports 16 communication channels (frequencies): channel 11 to channel 26, corresponding to frequencies of 2405MHz to 2480MHz, 5MHz for each channel. ZigBee device will use this configured channel to communicate with other ZigBee devices. Note2: Newly configured value will take effect after the ZigBee device is rebooted.

3.4 AT+SETEXPID=XXXX

(8bytes, 16 characters)

Function: Configure 64 bit extended PANID of ZigBee network. Configured extended PANID will be stored in Non-Volatile (NV) memory and will not lose after power cycle. XXXX: 64 bit extended PANID, HEX format. Device Type: COO, Router, and Non-Routing-Router. HHU does not support this command as it dose not a static extended PANID to join network. It scans for existing ZigBee network to join instead. Note1: Newly released ZigBee specification supports a 64-bit extended PANID to distinguish different networks which are running in same channel. ZigBee device will use this configured extended PANID to form/join network. Note2: Newly configured value will take effect after the ZigBee device is rebooted.

3.5 AT+SETADVGAP=XX
Function: This command has different function for COO and for Router. For COO, this command configures COO Advertisement cycle; while for Router, this command configures heart beat cycle. Configured value will be stored in Non-Volatile (NV) memory and will not lose after power cycle. XX: Advertisement or heat beat cycle value, HEX format. For COO, XX value in minutes. Minimum value is 0x01. Set to 0x00 will be treated as 0x01 since COO sending Advertisement is necessary and should not be disabled.

12/22/2008

AT-Commands Users Manual (V3.1.1b)

For Router, XX value in seconds. Minimum value is 0x0F since Router should not send heart beat frame to COO too frequent. Set value lower than 0x0F will be treated as 0x0F. Set to 0x00 will disable the heart beat function, i.e., Router will never send heart beat frame to COO. Device Type: COO, Router, and Non-Routing-Router. HHU does not support this command as it sends Advertisement manually instead of periodically. Note1: COO sends Advertisement periodically and asks all receiving Routers return their address information, as well as neighbor tables. With all the returned information, it is possible to calculate topology of the ZigBee network. This command sets the time gap between 2 Advertisement frames. The structure of the Advertisement frame is defined as below:
4 bytes Low 4 bytes of MAC Address 2 Node ID 1 Type 1 Contents

Low 4 bytes of MAC Address: The MAC address of a ZigBee device is composed of 8 bytes but in our product, the high 4 bytes is fixed to [00 0D 6F 00]. As a result, placing low 4 bytes of MAC address into the Advertisement frame is enough the receivers could make up senders full MAC address easily. Node ID: The 16-bit Node ID of the sender. Type: Device type of the sender. Not only COO, but also HHU could send Advertisement frame. Contents: Reserved for future use. On receiving the Advertisement frame, all Routers should return an Advertisement Reply frame. The structure of the Advertisement Reply frame is defined as below:
4 bytes Low 4 bytes of MAC Address 2 Node ID 1 Type 1 Number of Neighbors Variable Node ID of Neighbors

Low 4 bytes of MAC Address: Low 4 bytes MAC address of the replier. Node ID: The 16-bit Node ID of the replier. Type: Device type of the replier.
11 12/22/2008

AT-Commands Users Manual (V3.1.1b)

Number of Neighbors: Routers will include their neighbor table in the Reply frame. This field indicates the number of the neighbors. Node ID of Neighbors: The Node ID of the repliers neighbors. Note2: If not receiving any message from COO for a configured time, Router may send a heart beat frame to COO. This feature can be disabled by setting to 0x00 to reduce network transmission. The heart beat frame format is just same as Advertisement Reply frame.

3.6 AT+COORPTADVREP=01/00
Function: Configure if COO report Advertisement Reply frame to UART port. Set to 01 will enable this function and 00 otherwise. Device Type: Only COO supports this command. Note: On receiving the Advertisement frame, all Routers will return Advertisement Reply frame. It is very likely that several Reply frames returned at almost same time and when reporting them to UART port, they conjunct together. To make it easier to distinguish each of the connected Reply frame, device add Header, Length and Footer to each of Reply frame when reporting to UART port as below:
Header * Length L Payload Advertisement Reply Frame Footer #

Header: Indicate the start of a Reply frame, use * (ASCII 0x2A) Length: Length of the Advertisement Reply frame Payload: The body of Advertisement Reply Frame Footer: Indicate the end of a Reply frame, use # (ASCII 0x23)

3.7 AT+COOSENDADV
Function: Force COO send Advertisement frame right away, even if the Advertisement cycle time is not up. Device Type: Only COO supports this command.

Note: After sending the Advertisement frame, the cycle time is reset to beginning.

3.8 AT+HHUSENDADV=01/02
Function: Force HHU send Advertisement frame right away. HHU supports 2 types of Advertisement: a) Command parameter set to 01, HHU sends 1-hop Advertisement, i.e., only HHUs neighbors could receive the frame; b) Command parameter set to 02, HHU sends full Advertisement, i.e., the all the joined nodes could received the frame. Device Type: Only HHU supports this command. Note1: Besides COO, HHU also sends Advertisement frame and receiving Router returns Advertisement Reply frame, too. Moreover, formats of both Advertisement and Reply frame are identical with those of COOs. Note2: HHU only send Advertisement frame when this command is issued not periodically.

3.9 AT+LIST
Function: Lists the Router members of network. Device Type: Only HHU supports this command. Note: COO will list the MAC address, Node ID and type of each joined members.

Note: Device that has already joined network will discard this command.

3.21 AT+LEAVE
Function: Force joined ZigBee device leave network. Device Type: All devices except COO support this command.
19 12/22/2008

AT-Commands Users Manual (V3.1.1b)

Note1: Left Router will not try to join network until AT+JOIN command is issued. Note2: This command will return network status information if the Device is not joined network yet. Network status could be: 0x00: EMBER_NO_NETWORK, Device not joined network yet. 0x01: EMBER_JOINING_NETWORK, device is joining network but not successfully joined. 0x04: EMBER_LEAVING_NETWORK, device is leaving network. Note3: Leaving Router will send a message to COO to notify its leaving. HHU wont notify its leaving as it is a temporary device.

3.22 AT+RTSENDMAC=01/00
Function: Configure if Router (including Non-Routing-Router) device reports its MAC address when sending a wireless message to other node. Set to 01 will enable this function and 00 otherwise. Device Type: Only Router and Non-Routing-Router support this command. Example:
Router [00 0D 6F 00 00 5C 61 1C] sends application data ABC[0x41 0x42 0x43] to COO

AT+RTSENDMAC=00
Router only send the 3-byte application data to COO and COO will report received data to serial port as below: 41 42 43

AT+ RTSENDMAC=01
Router automatically adds its 8-byte MAC address in front of the 3-byte application data and then sends all of the data to COO. COO will receive 11-byte data and report to serial port as below: 00 0D 6F 00 00 5C 61 1C 41 42 43

3.23 AT+RTBCAST=00/01
Function: Enable Router send data frame to other Routers or not. Set to 01 will enable Router this function and 00 otherwise. In most of applications, Routers do not exchange data between each other. They just send/receive data to/from COO and HHU. If this function is enabled, Routers will send data to all nodes, including other Routers.

20

12/22/2008

AT-Commands Users Manual (V3.1.1b)

Device Type: Only Router and Non-Routing-Router support this command.

3.24 AT+RTRXPEER=00/01
Function: Enable Router receive data frame from other Routers or not. Set to 01 will enable this function and 00 otherwise. Routers only accept data frames from COO or HHU, and will discard those from other Routers when this function is disabled, even if the sender has enabled sending data to other Routers. If this function is enabled, Routers will accept data frames from other Routers as well. Device Type: Only Router and Non-Routing-Router support this command.

3.25 AT+ADDRESSING=00/01
Function: Enable devices addressing or not. Set to 01 will enable this function and 00 otherwise. When addressing is disabled: a) COO sends data frames to all other devices transparently; b) Router sends data frames to COO and HHU only if AT+RTBCAST=01, to all devices if AT+RTBCAST=00. If addressing is enabled, all devices send data only to the addressing target device, other devices wont receive the data frame. Device Type: COO, Router, and Non-Routing-Router are support this command. HHU does not support this command as it always enables this function and can not be disabled. Note1: When addressing is enabled, users application must add target devices MAC address in front of the application data and send them together to the local device through UART port. The local device will always treat first 8-byte data received from UART as target MAC address and send application data only to the addressed remote device. On the other hand, the receiver will only receive the application data, not include its MAC address.. Example:

21

12/22/2008

AT-Commands Users Manual (V3.1.1b)

COO sends application data ABC[0x41 0x42 0x43] to Router [00 0D 6F 00 00 5C 61 1C] only. Users application should send target devices MAC address together with the application data to COO through UART port, and first 8 bytes are target MAC address.

Sender: COO
COO send following data: 00 0D 6F 00 00 5C 61 1C 41 42 43

Receiver: Router

Only Router [00 0D 6F 00 00 5C 61 1C] will receive the data and it only report 3-byte application data to it UART port as below: 41 42 43

Note2: When addressing is enabled, device will check if the first 8 bytes data received from UART were valid MAC address. High 4 bytes of the MAC address should be [00 0D 6F 00]. Any data with invalid MAC address will be discarded. Note3: There are 2 special MAC addresses for broadcast: [FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF]: Broadcast address to all devices. [00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]: 1-hop broadcast address, for HHU only.

3.26 AT+FLASHLED=00/01
Function: Configure if ZigBee device flash LEDs to indicate its status or not. There are 3 LEDs on the ZigBee device. LED1 is used to indicate network status: if the device has successfully joined network, LED1 will flash regularly. LED1 will off if the device is out of network. LED2 is used to indicate an incoming RF frame. LED3 is used to indicate an out going RF frame. Device Type: COO, Router, and Non-Routing-Router are support this command. HHU does not support this command since flashing LED will waste much battery power. Note: In some battery powered application, disable LED flashing will save much power.

4. Known Limitations
4.1 Density of Routers
ZigBee network is mainly composed of Routers and NRRs. It is recommended a Router only has 4-8 Router neighbors. If there are too many Routers inside a Routers communication range, messages delivering will be blocked some time because every Router will repeat broadcast.
