Chapter 5. MiWi™ P2P Wireless Networking Protocol Tools

5.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes how to use the MiWi P2P protocol tools provided by the ZENA

Wireless Network Analyzer.

5.2 MiWi™ P2P STACK CONFIGURATION TOOL

The Microchip MiWi P2P Stack provides the user with the capability to communicate

wirelessly in the star or P2P topology. For details on the MiWi P2P protocol, please

refer to application note AN1204 “Microchip MiWi P2P Wireless Protocol” and the MiWi

P2P Stack source code, which are both available for free download from the Microchip

web site (www.microchip.com).

The ZENA analyzer assists you in configuring the Microchip Stack by automatically

generating the configuration header file for your MiWi P2P protocol application. To start

the Stack configuration tool from ZENA analyzer, select MiWi P2P Tools>StackConfig-

uration from the main ZENA window. The ZENA Stack Configuration – MiWi P2P Pro-

tocol window will be displayed. Using the tabbed dialog, you can select options that are

configurable in the MiWi P2P Stack. The ZENA analyzer software will automatically

enable/disable certain options depending on the selections that you have made. All

enabled options will have default values. Users are encouraged to learn the meaning

of the options by reading application note AN1204 “Microchip MiWi P2P Wireless Pro-

tocol”. After users understand all the options, the ZENA MiWi P2P Stack configuration

tool can generate the configuration file that will be compiled with the MiWi P2P Stack,

as well as the application, to enable or disable the options of your choice for the MiWi

P2P Stack.
