Product Description
The Zigbee USB device is a Zigbee Coordinator, designed to connect to the Quiet Care
base station or other USB-compatible computer system.
Features
-
Compact design
-
USB-powered
-
Custom designed long-range radio
Installation
-
Please familiarize yourself with the concepts of Zigbee Networking with the
“Understanding Sensor Networking” paper.
-
This Coordinator must be set up before setting up any routers or sensors.
-
While holding down the multifunction button on the top of the unit, plug the unit
into the powered-up base station. (Holding down the Multifunction button clears
out the Associated Device table so the unit is ready for a new network
configuration)
Commissioning
-
Once installed the coordinator will save the network configuration in onboard
flash memory so that if the base station suffers a power failure, the network will
be re-established exactly as it was prior to the outage. Thus no other user
interaction is needed.
Operation
In normal operation the user need not interact with the ZigbeeUSB coordinator. You will
noticed the blue LED will flash occasionally. This indicates some interaction with the
base station computer, usually that there is some zigbee traffic going on.
