board level radios.
l Z9-PC is a board level 900MHz OEM Ethernet radio module.
l Z9-PC-SR001 is a board level 900MHz OEM Ethernet radio module with an RJ-45
Ethernet connector.
The Z9-PC or Z9-PC-SR001 are radio modules ideally suited for OEM applications where it will
be embedded in the OEM product. It is built with the smallest possible footprint and with minimal
industry standard physical connectivity. The intent is for the user to design their own custom
interface to the radio module.
The interface board in the Z9-PC-DEVKIT is not intended to be used in the field. Rather it is a
temporary mechanism to allow a user to evaluate the radio modules without needing to first
design their own interface. If the user desires a ZumLink Ethernet product that has industry
standard connectivity built-in, models Z9-P or Z9-PE should be considered.
The Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001 900MHz Series:
l Operates in the unlicensed 900MHz ISM band (902-928 MHz).
l Provides a maximum of 30dBm transmit output power.
l Is FCC compliant as both a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and a Digital
Modulating (DM) radio.
l Provides ZumIQ, a Linux-based application environment for the deployment of applications
at the edge
l Has one Ethernet port, two serial ports, and one micro USB port.

1. Overview
Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001
User & Reference Manual
Note: The frequency hopping capability is available at all bandwidths and the single channel (DM)
operation is available for bandwidths of at least 500 kHz.
1.1. Communication Method
ZumLink uses Listen Before Talk (LBT) and Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) where there
are no assigned slots. The radios transmit when the channel is clear.
l The Gateway broadcasts packets to all Endpoints within range.
l The Endpoints unicast packets back to the Gateway.
l The Gateway acknowledges the Endpoint packets.
FreeWave’s traditional protocol has a Gateway Time Slot and an Endpoint Time Slot within a
frame.
l The Gateway transmits in its slot and listens in the Endpoint slot.
l The Endpoint transmits its slot and listens in the Gateway slot.
1.2. ZumBoost Technology
ZumLink incorporates ZumBoost technology using four performance-enhancing algorithms used
together or independently to improve throughput in the most demanding RF environments:
1.2.1. Adaptive Spectrum Learning
l Learns which RF signals are part of the ZumLink network and which are not, reducing bad
packets and retransmissions.
l Standard on all ZumLink radios, the "Listen Before Talk" algorithm provides spectrum
monitoring, delivering network intelligence and increasing throughputs in noisy
environments.
1.2.2. Forward Error Correction
l The fecRate (on page 204) increases the reliability of the data transferred over the air at the
cost of some transmission throughput.
l Improves sensitivity by 3dB to maximize range and link range in noisy environments.
l Adds redundant information to a data stream to detect packet errors and corrects them to
avoid retransmission of the packet.
1.2.3. Packet Aggregation
l The aggregateEnabled (on page 202) setting increases throughput of small packets by
combining multiple packets into a single packet minimizing the number of packets required
for transmission.
l Does NOT affect medium and large packets.

User & Reference Manual
1.2.4. Packet Compression
l When the compressionEnabled (on page 203) setting is enabled, the outgoing packets are
analyzed and, if the data packet can be compressed, sent compressed to transmit fewer
bits over the air.
1.3. ZumIQ Application Environment
ZumLink provides the ZumIQ Application Environment that allows for the development and
deployment of Linux-based applications onto the radio. The application has access to the same
computing resources as the radio but is in a segregated section of the Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001.
Note: Any application using a Linux-compatible language can be housed in ZumIQ.

4.1. Power Setup
l The Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001 is approved to operate with an input voltage range of +5 to +12
VDC (±10%) that can supply at least 0.8 Amps.
l See the Technical Specifications (on page 412) for additional information.
FREEWAVE Recommends: All input power supply wires should be at least 20AWG wires.
A dedicated and stable power supply line is preferred.
The power supply used MUST provide more current than the amount of current drain listed in the
specifications for the product and voltage. (at least 350 mA at 12V)
Warning! Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) protectors to protect the radio from electric shock
and provide filtered conditioned power with over-voltage protection.
4.2. Installation
1. Install an FCC-approved antenna.
2. Connect the antenna feed line to the ZumLink.
Warning! Only FCC approved antennas may be used. See Approved Antennas (on
page 181).
The antenna must be professionally installed on a fixed, mounted, and permanent
outdoor structure to satisfy RF exposure requirements.
Any antenna placed outdoors must be properly grounded.
Use extreme caution when installing antennas and follow all instructions included with
the antenna.
If installing a directional antenna, preset the antenna’s direction appropriately.
3. Connect the Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001 to a power supply.
Note: Power is shared on the Ethernet / Power 10-pin header.
Note: The Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001 is approved to operate with an input voltage range of +5 to
+12 VDC (±10%) that can supply at least 0.8 Amps.
FREEWAVE Recommends: All input power supply wires should be at least 20AWG wires.

Gateway and Endpoint Network
Note: The basic network described in this procedure is created by using either the Drag and Drop
Configuration - ZumLink (on page 52) or the CLI Configuration (on page 64) procedure.
Important!: Figure 93 shows a basic network setup for the Z9-PC.
This network setup assumes all connections are already in place.

7. Creating a Basic ZumLink Gateway and Endpoint Network
Z9-PC / Z9-PC-SR001
User & Reference Manual
Procedure
Note: This example procedure is specific for CLI configuration.
1. Connect and apply power to the ZumLink devices in the network.
2. Optional: Upgrade the devices using the Firmware Upgrade - Drag and Drop procedure.
Caution: Firmware v1.0.7.0 is NOT a required upgrade. ONLY upgrade the Z9-PC /
Z9-PC-SR001 firmware if the user values the new features and fixes within a firmware
version.
3. Complete the procedure.
4. Select one radio and, at the > prompt, type radioSettings.radioMode=Gateway
and press <Enter>.
5. At the > prompt, type a setting between 10 and 30 for the radioSettings.txPower and
press <Enter>.
Example: txPower=30 or radioSettings.txPower=30.
Entering txpower=0 or radiosettings.txpower=0 changes the output power to the
minimum or 10 dB.
Note: See radioSettings Parameters (on page 254) for detailed information.
6. For the other radio in the network, at the > prompt, type
radioSettings.radioMode=Endpoint and press <Enter>.
7. Verify the radioSettings.networkId= setting is the same on ALL radios in the
network.
Note: For Endpoints, the radioSettings.nodeID is set automatically.
Important!: The Gateway radioSettings.nodeId defaults to 1 and CANNOT be changed.
8. At the > prompt, type save and press <Enter>.
A solid green CD LED indicates that the radios are linked.
Note: See LEDs (on page 416) for additional information.
9. Type exit and press <Enter> to exit the FreeWave Shell.
