BB2-7040 User Guide – Rev. 1.2 Page 38
The difference between Raw TX (raw transmission) and Remote API is that nothing is done automatically here and you
can send any raw string you like to the local radio, some of which might be transmitted to another radio depending on
what you constructed. Do note the warning about Raw TX.
API frames created here require that you explicitly provide the API frame type code, the 64-bit and 16-bit addresses of
the remote device as applicable, and any packet data as applicable. Only the header, length, and checksum bytes used to
move the packet from the BB2-7040 to the ZigBee radio are automatically generated here. All bytes given here are sent
to the radio exactly as-is. By using raw transmit (API codes 0x10 and 0x11), it is possible to send packets to non-Ember
ZigBee devices.
Generally, you should use whatever tools were provided by the sensor manufacturer to configure that sensor and get it to
start sending data. Once data starts showing up at the BB2-7040, you only then need concern yourself with with creating
a data parsing mask on the ZigBee Client Read Map page.
Command interpretation is as follows:
'/' -- results in accepting any number of ASCII alphanumeric characters (0-9,A-Z) with ASCII codes placed in transmit
packet.
' " ' (quote) -- results in accepting a quote delimited string, required for including blanks or punctuation
NN -- literal number, always interpreted as hexadecimal, delimited by blanks, creates a single byte with this hex code.
