XBee Network
The ConnectPort X2e ZB provides a gateway between an Internet Protocol (IP) network and a
network of various wireless devices containing XBee RF modules. Typically, these XBee devices
are small sensors and controllers.
Current Devices: Displays a view of XBee network devices, including the
ConnectPort X2e ZB gateway and any nodes that have been discovered by the XBee
module in the ConnectPort X2e ZB gateway. Each node displayed provides this
information:
Node ID: A descriptive, user-friendly name for the device. The Node ID is a 20-byte
printable ASCII string that allows for referencing devices by names rather than their
physical addresses.
Network: A 16-bit network address for the device.
Extended address: A static 64-bit address for the device that is a guaranteed to be
unique.
Node type: The node type for the device, or role it plays in the XBee network:
coordinator or router.
Product type: A description of the product type for the node, such as “X2e Gateway.”
Apply: Applies the changes to the Node ID for the node.
Refresh: refreshes the list of nodes that have joined the XBee network. (Note that the
discovery operation may take a few seconds.) Refresh lists only nodes that respond to
the discovery operation. Previous nodes are cleared from the list. Sleeping or
unresponsive nodes may not be listed immediately, but may later appear in the list.
