BL4S100 User’s Manual 134

APPENDIX F. ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Appendix F provides information on how to find the latest firm-

ware for the XBee RF module and the Digi

XBee USB used as

the ZigBee coordinator, and how to install the firmware.

F.1 XBee Module Firmware Downloads

By default, the BL4S100/BL4S150 is shipped from the factory with firmware to operate as a

router in a mesh network. You will need to run the

MODEMFWLOAD.C sample program in the

Dynamic C

SAMPLES\XBEE folder to download the firmware needed to operate the

BL4S100/BL4S150 as a coordinator or as an end device.

NOTE: You can verify the firmware version by running the AT_INTERACTIVE.C sam-

ple program in the Dynamic C SAMPLES\XBEE folder and by entering the command

AT VR <Enter> to get the version number displayed in the Dynamic C STDIO window.

CAUTION: Different firmware versions are likely to interact with the Dynamic C librar-

ies in different ways. Rabbit has tested the firmware associated with a particular version

of Dynamic C for correct operation, and only this version is included on the Dynamic C

CD-ROM — do not use any other firmware versions with that version of Dynamic C.

Once you have successfully loaded the firmware, compile and run another sample program

to make sure the MODEMFWLOAD.C sample program does not inadvertently reload (or

partially reload) the firmware.

If you are uploading firmware because you upgraded to a more recent Dynamic C release,

remember to recompile your applications using the new version of Dynamic C once you

have uploaded the new firmware.

F.1.1 Dynamic C v. 10.44 and Later

Encrypted libraries have been created within Dynamic C for the firmware. The three

libraries are in the

LIB\Rabbit4000

\XBee\XBee_Firmware\ZigBee folder.

• A Dynamic C library of the type XB24-ZB_21….LIB is used for a coordinator

BL4S100/BL4S150.

• A Dynamic C library of the type

XB24-ZB_23….LIB is used for a router BL4S100/

BL4S150.

• A Dynamic C library of the type

XB24-ZB_29….LIB is used for an end-device

BL4S100/BL4S150.
