the standard version requires version 10.21 or later.
ment Kit CD-ROM.
Starting with Dynamic C version 10.40, Dynamic C includes the popular µC/OS-II real-time
operating system, point-to-point protocol (PPP), FAT file system, RabbitWeb, and other select
libraries. Rabbit also offers for purchase the Rabbit Embedded Security Pack featuring the Secure

1.3.2.1 XBee Firmware
There are two types of XBee firmware available for the RCM4510W — ZNet 2.5 and ZigBee
PRO. The firmware preloaded at the factory on your RCM4510W is indicated with the model
number and is reflected in different part numbers (see Table 1). A label on the XBee RF module
identifies the factory-installed firmware type. Older RCM4510W modules shipped with ZNet
firmware and do not have a sticker on their XBee RF module.
• ZNet 2.5 is a networking solution that was developed around an earlier draft of the ZigBee
standard, and will work only with the MaxStream or Digi International
used with the RCM4510W or with the preview version of the RCM4510W. Applications built
around ZNet 2.5 may be upgraded to the ZB solution by loading the ZB firmware (standard
release RCM4510W RabbitCore modules only) and by recompiling the application using
Dynamic C v. 10.46 or later.
• ZB firmware was developed using the ZigBee PRO feature set and provides the most advanced
ZigBee networking capabilities that will interface with any other devices based on the ZigBee
PRO standard adopted in 2007.
Dynamic C v. 10.46 and later versions support the ZB firmware with a 64-bit extended PAN
ID instead of a 16-bit PAN ID
Rabbit recommends ZB firmware for new customers and new applications.
NOTE: While both ZNet 2.5 and ZB firmware types are technically ZigBee, the protocol layer in
them is different and devices with one type of firmware will not function in a network with
devices using the other firmware.
1.3.3 Optional Add-Ons
Rabbit has a Mesh Network Add-On Kit available for the RCM4510W.
