Getting Started

Creating a ZigBee network using the ZE10 modules consists of the following steps:

Install the ZE10 module on the development board

Create a ZigBee network by configuring a ZE10 module as the coordinator

Configure ZE10 modules as routers. This step is optional since the coordinator works as a router

too.

Configure ZE10 modules as end-devices

Transmit data between ZE10 devices

This chapter describes how to install the ZE10 modules on to the development boards and how to use

terminal software programs to access the ZE10 modules 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 starter kit and the configuration examples are also provided in the later chapter.

Development Board Layout

Figure 2-1 shows the layout of the development board. The development board provides the interface

between the ZE10 and the external serial port or USB port together with input/output terminals for

convenient tests.
