Using this window, you can configure the following items:

TABLE 4-2: MiWi™ PROTOCOL TRANSCEIVER CONFIGURATION SELECTION

Configuration Option Description

Transceiver Select one of the transceivers supported by the Stack.

Frequency Band This combo box shows the various available frequency bands of the selected transceiver. If

the transceiver supports only one frequency band, that frequency will be displayed and the

combo box will be disabled.

Output Power Selects the initial output power of the transceiver.

Pin Assignments

(1)

The Stack requires certain I/O pins to interface to the transceiver. If you are using the

PICDEM™ Z or Explorer 16 demo board, select that option to automatically configure the

Stack for that board. If you are using custom hardware, select the “Custom Hardware” radio

button and select the correct I/O pins for the indicated signals. These options will change

based on the “Target Device Family” selected on the PIC tab.

Demo Board Defaults Click this button to set the signals to the I/O pins used by the PICDEM Z and Explorer 16

demo boards.

Allowed Channels This area shows the channels that are supported by the selected frequency band. Selecting

channels here will generate a label that can be used to specify the allowed channels for net-

work formation and network discovery. Click Clear All to clear all channels, and click Select

All to select all channels. Each channel can also be selected or cleared individually by

selecting the checkbox that precedes the channel number.

Note 1: Ensure the pin exists on the target device. The application code is responsible for configuring the pin as a

digital input or output as appropriate.
