This chapter describes how to use the ZigBee™ protocol tools provided by the ZENA

Wireless Network Analyzer. Both basic and advance monitoring techniques are

3.2 MICROCHIP STACK CONFIGURATION TOOL

Microchip provides a freely available Stack as part of application note, AN965,

“Microchip Stack for the ZigBee™ Protocol”. The application note and source code are

available for download from the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com). After you

have reviewed the application note and studied the demonstration projects, you will be

ready to start your own ZigBee protocol application.

The ZENA analyzer will greatly assist you with configuring the Microchip Stack by auto-

matically generating a portion of the source code for your ZigBee protocol application.

Be sure to refer to AN965, “Microchip Stack for the ZigBee™ Protocol” for details about

each ZigBee protocol configuration option. Select ZigBee™ Tools>Stack Configuration

from the main ZENA™ Stack Configuration window. The ZENA™ Stack

Configuration - ZigBee™ Protocol window will be displayed. Using the tabbed dialog,

you can select all of the options required for your ZigBee protocol application. The

ZENA software will automatically enable and disable certain options depending on the

selections you have made.
