UART/USB Virtual COM Port Setup
This section describes how to set up a virtual COM port for the following demonstration applications:
•
Chapter 2, "Wireless UART Demonstration"
•
Chapter 3, "Connectivity Test"
•
Chapter 6, "Generic Application Demonstration"
•
Chapter 7, "Simple ZigBee Test Client (SZTC) Demonstration"
•
Chapter 8, "Repeater Demonstration"
•
Chapter 9, "Weather Station Demonstration"
•
Chapter 10, "Over The Air Programmer Demonstration"
Attach two boards to two PCs. This allows communication using a PC terminal communications program.
The two boards can be attached to two different serial ports of the same PC if needed, but Freescale
recommends using two PCs when possible.
1. Connect each of the boards to a separate PC either with an RS-232 cable or a USB cable. If using
a USB cable, a corresponding USB driver is required. Freescale recommends a direct USB
connection. Do not use a USB hub. This driver is located in the following directory:
<INSTALL DIR>\Freescale\Drivers
The BeeKit CD image is available from the Freescale ZigBee web site at
www.freescale.com/zigbee.
2. To check which COM port is being used by the USB, do the following:
a) Open the Windows System Properties window using Start->Settings->Control Panel->System.
b) Select the Hardware tab, and click the Device Manager button. The Device Manager window
appears as shown in
