®
XBee USB used as the ZigBee coordinator must be connected to an avail-
able USB port on your PC if you are exercising the ZigBee protocol.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Getting Started,” if you need further information on these steps.

The XBee RF module used by the BL4S230 presently sup-
ports using the BL4S230 in a mesh network. RCM4510W
modules on the BL4S230 are preconfigured with ZB router
firmware; coordinator firmware is included in the Dynamic C
installation along with a sample program to allow you to
download the coordinator firmware.
The firmware used with the XBee RF modules on the
BL4S230 is based on the API command set.
