When router is rejoining, the network indication LED, namely LED3, is blinking. Upon
having router joined, LED3 is ON.
When end device is rejoining, the network indication LED, LED3, is blinking. Upon
having end device joined, LED3 turns ON. LED1 flashes shortly to indicate sending a
packet, LED1 flashes briefly to indicate having received acknowledgement. Next, all
LEDs get turned OFF when end device is falling to sleep.
When channel mask is being changed, the Topology Pane might display an outdated
topology tree. After changing channel mask, the network topology is updated.
Visualization of the Sensor Data
Observing the Topology tree and operating the GUI controls, user can select any
node to monitor the node activity and see the node data in three different forms:
 Text table
 Chart
 The onboard sensor’s data in the Topology Pane. These
values are tipped with arrows indicating relative increase or
decrease.
Topology Pane displays temperature and light readings as well as battery level for
any selected node (which icon appears in dashed frame). Also, these data values are
shown on the Sensor Data Graph Pane. You can easily check how they evolve over
time.
The Sensor Data Graph Pane includes a Sensor Selection combo-box. Use the
button on the Sensor Control Toolbar to display the desired types of sensor data.
6 SerialNet
SerialNet is a configuration of BitCloud software which allows control over the most of
the ZigBit/BitCloud functionality through a serial communication interface using
standardized Hayes-like AT command set.
The commands come from Serial/USB interface in simple text form. The command
language principles are described in ITU-T V.250 recommendation (see [11]).
NOTES:
Strictly, the SerialNet is an application developed “on top” of BitCloud
API.
Before running SerialNet application make sure that the corresponding
image file (see 10.7) is uploaded to each board properly by means of
Serial Bootloader or JTAG.
See the set of supported AT commands, their syntax and detailed description in the
Reference Manual [3]. Chapter “Examples” of that document shows how to use the
commands to do the following:
 to control LED and DIP switches
 to create a network (to set the node roles and addresses)
 to transmit data between the nodes
 to manage PAN ID and frequency channels
 to forward commands for remote execution
 to control power consumption for end device.
