c. Functions:
There are two network types for FBs-CMZBRs. One is Peer-to-Peer type in
which each device is in Master mode and can communicate each other when
both are in a valid RF communication range.
The other is network type is Star type in which Slave devices only communicate
with the only one Master. And the Master device can communicate with
multiple Slave devices.
Users can configure FBs-CMZBR manually by QCU utility program (described
later in this document).
FBs-CMZBR can be configured as a Master or a Slave. For two any two devices
to be able to communicate, they must be set to a same PAN ID. If users want to
operate two separate wireless networks in a same physical area, please group
the FBs-CMZBR by different PAN ID. Each device will only receive RF packets
with a same PAN ID.
When a Master mode FBs-CMZBR sends RF packets, it broadcasts the packet to
all the devices with the same PAN ID. On the other hand, when a FBs-CMZBR, as
a Slave, sends data wirelessly, it only sends the data to the Master with a same
PAN ID. In order for a Slave to work with a Master, user must pair each other.
After successful pairing, the Slave will remember the Master’s address and will
be able to send RF packet directly to the Master.
