Getting Started….QUICKLY!
It is now time to configure the Mirror Module for use in your
application. The process is pretty easy. You will need to con
‐
figure the Mirror Module so that it knows how many control
‐
lers you want to talk to, the model of the relay controller, and
a few other simple parameters. Follow these simple steps...
Step 9:
After a few moments, the following screen (shown below) will
appear. The settings shown represent part of our initial test

ing. Every user will have to create custom settings based on
the devices they are using. In this section we will identify all of
the elements of the configuration screen and provide you with
a brief overview of their function. Many of the default settings
do not need to be changed. The number of devices you are
controlling and the serial numbers will be different for every
user.
This setting tells the ZigBee Mirror Module how many devices you want to
communicate with. Most users will probably only use the ZigBee Mirror
Module with ONE remote device. However, as your application grows, Zig
‐
Bee Mirror Modules are capable of talking to 24 different remote relay con
‐
trollers. Make sure this setting matches the number of remote relay control
‐
lers EXACTLY.
Step 9: You may see a few failed attempts during initial communications.
This is normal. However, you should verify the PGM/RUN Jumper is set to
PGM on the ZigBee Mirror Module. Once the jumper is set, make sure
power is applied and the READY light is lit. Make sure the controller is
powered down when changing the jumper, the Microprocessor on the
ZigBee Mirror Module reads the jumper setting on Power

Up ONLY.
Serial numbers are a very important part of using ZigBee Mirror Modules.
You may notice we do not require you to enter the entire serial number. The
“base” serial number is the first part of the serial number, and is shared by
all devices. You should never change the “base” serial number unless you
want to broadcast Mirror data to ALL devices. For most applications, leave
this setting as it is.

Most users will want to use a

These features are not required for
most applications.

You can suspend communications
to any remote device by making it
inactive. By default, all should be
active (“Yes” in every row).
Enter the Lat 8 Digits of the Serial
Number of EACH remote Relay
Controller in this field. To use this
field, click on the serial number. A
Box will appear that allows you to
make changes. Make necessary
changes for your relay controllers.
Move your mouse to exit and save
your edited changes. If the box
turns RED after editing, there is an

You MUST tell the Mirror Module the type of controller
you are using by clicking on the Arrow buttons on each
side. This controls the command set the Mirror Module
sends to the remote relay controller. These settings must
be 100% accurate for correct communications.
These Settings Cannot be Changed.
Input Assignment will be discussed in
Step 11 on the next page.
This help box will provide you with
useful hints as you move your mouse to
