ZB
The following paragraph contains the significant differences in XBee ZB compared to its predecessor, ZNet 2.5.
•Command Set
•Firmware Versions
•New Features.
Command Set
The following ZNet 2.5 commands have changed for XBee ZB:
•ZA - Set / read the ZigBee Addressing enable command. This command was required in ZNet 2.5 to enable
application level addressing commands SE, DE, CI. XBee ZB does not support ZA. The SE, DE, and CI values
always determine the application level addressing values.
•AI - Read the association status. AI now includes several new values.
New Features
ZB offers many new and improved features over ZNet 2.5, including:
•Data transmissions are directly resolved to APS unicasts. This provides the ability to send and receive ZDO com-
mands.
•NH command configures the unicast transmission timeout. This command can extend the number of unicast
hops dramatically over the 6-8 hop limit that existed in ZNet 2.5.
•ZS command allows ZigBee stack profile to be set as required.
•Routers and coordinators can expire end device children from their child tables if the end device has not polled
within a settable timeout.
•Routers and coordinators can expire end device children from their child tables if the end device has not polled
within a settable timeout.
