Properties |
|
Device Name |
| String of characters used to allow the Zigbee node to use the name addressing mode of operation. Can be left blank if name addressing is not being used. | |
|
Zigbee Mode |
| Specifies the functionality of the Zigbee node. Coordinator - Must be used with a Coordinator Zigbee E-Block EB051C, Responsible for starting the network and assigning addresses. Router - Must be used with a Router / End Node E-Block EB051R, Responsible for forwarding / repeating packets on the network. End Device - Must be used with a Router / End Node E-Block EB051R, Capable of low power operation. | |
|
Auto ID |
| Automatically generate a PAN ID | |
|
|
PAN ID |
| Assigns a Personal Area Network Identifier code to the Zigbee node. Random / Search - Scans the local area for Zigbee PAN networks and joins the existing network, otherwise a random value is chosen. Preset - Assigns a preset PAN ID to the Zigbee node, Must be between 0x0 and 0x3FFF. | |
|
|
Node Join Time |
| Length of time in seconds where nodes are allowed to join the network. Infinte - Nodes are always allowed to join the network. Preset - Nodes are only allowed to join the network for a specific amount of time. Note: Join time not available for End Device nodes. | |
|
Max Hops |

|
Simulation |
|
|
Label |
|
|
