ZCS-232 User Guide 7. ZCS-232 Network Configuration If necessary, ZCS-232 can be set and used as an end device, a coordinator, or a router. The ZigBee end device is located at the end of the ZigBee network which can only connect to ZigBee coordinator or ZigBee router. Existing only one network PAN, the ZigBee coordinator manages each devices in the network when ZigBee network is first formed. Expansion of the network is done by ZigBee router. Without ZigBee coordinator, the network cannot be configured.

Additionally, to communicate among end devices, each devices should have a unique ID as a source ID and the ID from the device trying to send the data should be set in the destination ID.
