XBee-ZB-PRO

2,40 – 2,48GHz

50mW

-102dBm

7000m

As ZigBee is supported in the IEEE 802.15.5 link layer, it uses the same channels as described in previous section, with the

peculiarity that the XBee-ZB-PRO model limits the number of channels to 13.

XBee-ZB modules comply with the ZigBee-PRO v2007 standard. These modules add certain functionalities to those contributed

by ZigBee, such as:

•

Node discovery:

some headings are added so that other nodes within the same network can be discovered. It allows a

node discovery message to be sent, so that the rest of the network nodes respond indicating their specific information

(Node Identifier, @MAC, @16 bits, RSSI).

•

Duplicated packet detection:

This functionality is not set out in the standard and is added by the XBee modules.

The topologies in which these modules can be used are star and tree.

All information about their programming and operation can be found in the ZigBee Networking Guide available at
