Overview of the ZT-257x Series
The ZT-2570 and ZT-2571 series modules are small-sized wireless ZigBee converters based on
the IEEE802.15.4 standard that allow devices based on the RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet
interfaces to be integrated into a personal area ZigBee network. In addition, the transmission
frequency can be adjusted in the range from 2405 MHz to 2480 MHz, separated into 5 MHz
sectors, providing 16 channels and 16384 PAN IDs (i.e., Pan ID, 0x0000 to 0x3FFF).
The ZT ZigBee series of products conform to the ZigBee 2007 (ZigBee Pro) specifications
developed by the ZigBee Alliance for a suite of high-level communication protocols using
small, low-power digital radio modules. Only one ZigBee Host, e.g., a ZT-2570 module, can be
used in a single Z
igBee network. This module is known as the “ZigBee Coordinator”, and is
used to manage the network initialization and routing. In addition, up to 255 ZigBee Slave
devices can be used in a single ZigBee network. Each of these devices is defined as a “ZigBee
Router”, and can be used to receive or forward data to or from a nearby node.
