• SerialAPI-Mode : Allowing a Host Processor To Take Control of the Z-Stick and Take Part in
the Z-Wave Network
1. To initiate SerialAPI-Mode, plug the Z-Stick into the USB connector of the host.
Note: While in SerialAPI-mode, the Z-Stick is always listening (it is awake and always in
RX receive mode) for instructions and acts as a Z-Wave adapter and responds to
commands sent through USB by the host processor software.
Note: Pressing the Z-Stick button will not have any effect while in SerialAPI-Mode.
• Other Functions:
• Factory reset on the Z-Stick: This must be done through the host software which takes
control of the Z-Stick USB adapter while the Z-Stick is in SerialAPI-Mode. Please consult
the instruction manual of the host software to perform a network reset (i.e. factory
reset on the Z-Stick). This function can only be preformed via the host software.
• Add the Z-Stick to a pre-existing Z-Wave network: This must be done through the host
software which takes control of the Z-Stick USB adapter while the Z-Stick is in SerialAPI-
Mode. Please consult the instruction manual of the host software to add the Z-Stick to a
pre-existing Z-Wave network (i.e. “Learn”, “Sync”, “Add as Secondary Controller”, etc.).
This function can only be preformed via the host software.
