BL4S200 User’s Manual
205
Make the following modifications to the
MODEMFWLOAD.C
sample program.before you
run it according to whether you will be using the BL4S230 as a coordinator or a router.
•
Select the XBee role macro according to whether the BL4S230 is being used as a coor-
dinator or a router.
#define XBEE_ROLE NODE_TYPE_COORD
#define XBEE_ROLE NODE_TYPE_ROUTER
•
Some Rabbit boards use the ZNet 2.5 protocol. The BL4S230 uses the ZB protocol.
Make sure the
#define
statement calls for the ZB protocol.
#define XBEE_PROTOCOL XBEE_PROTOCOL_ZB

XBee USB Configuration
The Digi XBee USB device is an optional accessory and is available as a part of the Mesh
Networking Add on Kit (101-1272), or for separate purchase (101-1286). It is not a part of
the standard BL4S200 Tool Kit.
You may experience difficulty when you use the ZigBee sample programs and the Digi
®
XBee USB with the default settings if you are working simultaneously with more than one
ZigBee coordinator.
Section 7.2.2 explains how to set up the BL4S230 configuration patterns for the sample
programs via macros in the Dynamic C
LIB\Rabbit4000\XBee\XBEE_API.LIB
library
folder.
Channel mask
— defaults to 0x1FFE, i.e., all 16 possible channels via the macro in the
Dynamic C
LIB\Rabbit4000\XBee\XBEE_API.LIB
library.
#define DEFAULT_CHANNELS ZB_DEFAULT_CHANNELS
For example, to limit the channels to three channels, the macro would read as follows.
#define DEFAULT_CHANNELS 0x000E
Extended PAN ID
— the 64-bit network ID. Defaults to
DEFAULT_PANID
if set in the
Dynamic C
LIB\Rabbit4000\XBee\XBEE_API.LIB
library, otherwise defaults to
0x0123456789abcdef
to match the default used on the Digi
®
XBee USB.
If set to
0x00
, tells coordinators to “select a random extended PAN ID,” and tells routers
and end devices to “join any network.”
Change the extended PAN ID if you are developing simultaneously with more than one
ZigBee coordinator.
#define DEFAULT_EXTPANID "0x0123456789abcdef"
The same configurations must then be applied to the Digi
®
XBee USB via Digi’s X-CTU
utility. If you have not previously used this utility, install it from the Dynamic C
Utilities\X-CTU
folder by double-clicking
Setup_x-ctu.exe
