1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
ZBlinx Z series are a module device for “wireless personal-area networks," or WPANs using ZigBee
technology that is an IEEE 802.15.4 standard for data communications with business and consumer
devices. ZBlinx Z series combine IEEE 802.15.4, which defines the physical and MAC protocol layers,
with network, security and application software layers as specified by the ZigBee Alliance, a
consortium of technology companies. ZBlinx Z series run in the 2.4-GHz unlicensed frequency band,
and both use small form factors and low power. ZBlinx Z series can communicate with other ZigBee
devices that support the ZigBee2007 Pro stack profile. ZBlinx Z series has a compact design and can
be placed conveniently into devices or equipment. Its detachable antenna optimizes the quality and
distance for wireless communications. ZBlinx Z series lineup has several models with different
communication type as below.
- ZBlinx-ZE10: ZigBee embedded OEM module, long distance
- ZBlinx-ZS10: ZigBee-RS232 adapter, long distance
- ZBlinx-ZU10: ZigBee-USB adapter, long distance
- ZBlinx-ZE10SK: ZigBee embedded OEM module starter kit, ZE10 included.
ZBlinx-Z series support DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum), which divides the 2.410 - 2.475
GHz spectrum into 14 channels. ZBlinx-Z series also supports authentication and 128 bit ZigBee AES
encryption algorithms. ZBlinx Z series can be configured and controlled by typical AT commands.
Users can easily configure ZBlinx-Z series by using a terminal program such as HyperTerminal and
can use ZigBee wireless communication without modifying user’s existing serial communication
program. In addition to the basic AT commands, ZBlinx-Z series provides some expanded AT
commands for various functions.
