1. Introduction
AO-1210 is an embedded Internet/Ethernet controller suitable for embedded wireless
control applications. This converter can perform conversion from Addressable Ethernet to
ZigBee 2007 Pro standard.
Most ZigBee devices do not support device addresses over the Internet. The AO-1210
can assign a static IP or dynamic IP address from the DHCP sever to any ZigBee device
installed in the Ethernet network. Characteristically, AO-1210 is a transparent device which
does not require any extra header field appended to transmitted data. For example, when
Host-PC sends data to the destination AO-1210 via Ethernet network, the ZigBee interface
of AO-1210 will receive the same data.
2. Wiring
There are 2 approaches to connect AO-1210 and the host PC.
1. Use the “Cross Over” CAT-5 cable to link AO-1210 and the Host PC directly, as shown
below.
2. Connect AO-1210 and the Host PC though an Ethernet HUB, as shown below.
