Pan ID.This Pan ID is used on every device in a same ZigBee network. Four-Faith ZigBee product can pre-configure a Pan ID and randomly select a Pan ID. In AT command mode ,we send “AT+PID=N”,(N=0-65531),if PID=65535 ,it will randomly select a Pan 3.2.4 Node address...
Please reference to Appendix in detail).During this time, the network not works,and the serial’s baud rate is 115200,no parity, 1 stop bit. Send the 3-character command sequence“+++”twice through serial port.Then it goes into AT command configuration. Xiamen Four-Faith Communication Technology Co.,Ltd.
