1 Introduction
The ETRX2USB wireless mesh networking USB Stick is effectively an RS232 to USB bridge
connected to an ETRX2 ZigBee module. This allows connectivity to a computer’s USB port.
The supplied drivers create a virtual COM Port, so that the command line of the ETRX2 can be
accessed via any terminal software application.
When using Windows® 9x/XP/2000 the Telegesis Terminal application can be used as described in
the Development Kit manual.
