2. General Description of the UZL-Testbed
This user guide describes
• how the UZL-testbed looks like, and
• how an application can be simulated in Shawn using the same environment parameters.
So far, the testbed comprises the 22 iSense sensor nodes (of type R1) shown in Table 1: MAC
addresses of UZL-testbed nodes.. Two of them are so-called gateway nodes equipped with a Core
Module (cf. [4]) with SMA antenna and a Gateway Module (cf. [5]) connected to a computer. The
Gateway Modules enable power supply and communication of the node to iShell running on the
connected computer and vice versa. The Gateway Module can also be used to program the connected
Core Module.
The ordinary sensor nodes are equipped with a Core Module with SMA antenna and a Security
Module including a PIR (passive infrared) sensor and an accelerometer. They are plugged to power
outlets. Technical data, software documentation and a demo application concerning the Security
Module can be found in [6].

Table 1: MAC addresses of UZL-testbed nodes.
A node is identified uniquely by its MAC address. The first column of Table 1 shows the MAC
addresses as hexadecimal, the second column as decimal value. For example, using the command
os().debug(“My id is %x = %d.”, os().id(), os().id())
results in the following output in the SerialMonitor-Plugin of iShell:
My id is 0x94a0 = 38048.
