ETRX2USB 1 Introduction The ETRX2USB wireless mesh networking USB Stick is effectively an RS232 to USB bridge connected to an ETRX2 ZigBee module. This allows connectivity to a computer’s USB port. The supplied drivers create a virtual COM Port, so that the command line of the ETRX2 can be accessed via any terminal software application. -
