FBs-CMZBR is a radio device that wirelessly bridges various devices. It converts serial data from wired interface (RS485/RS232) into RF packets and vice versa. With robust RF protocol, the FBs-CMZBR can be used to form a wireless network with star or peer-to-peer structure.

When a Master mode FBs-CMZBR sends RF packets, it broadcasts the packet to all the devices with the same PAN ID. On the other hand, when a FBs-CMZBR, as a Slave, sends data wirelessly, it only sends the data to the Master with a same PAN ID.

Red light blinking: Indicating the device is receiving wireless Data. 2. Power on When a FBs-CMZBR is powered, it enters Working mode in which it will wirelessly transparently transmit the data received from wired interface. In contrast to the Working mode, there is a Configuration mode which will be detailed further in later section.

When FBs-CMZBR is powered up, it is in the Working mode. Users can change the device’s parameter by entering Configuration mode. A window-based utility program, Quan Configuration Utility (QCU), can be used to facilitate the configuration process. 3. Pairing process If the user desires to construct a star network, he may need to employ one Master device and several Slave devices.
