Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual 6.5.18 Maximum number of reconnections Rejoin maxcount: (1~255) Range of Maximum number of reconnections: 1~255 times Note: After attempting the maximum number of rejoins, if the previous network has not been restored, the previous network information will be cleared, and the new network is scanned periodically with the Rejoin period.
Use the setting software to quickly and easily set up a ZigBee network. The specific steps are as follows: (1) Connect the computer to the device via USB to RS232, open the setting software “E180-DTU-Setting”, as shown in the figure below, select the port number and set the serial port baud rate (default 115200), and open the serial port.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual (4) After the node type is successfully written, modify other network parameters to establish the required ZigBee network (you can also use the default values without modifying the parameters). Modify the channel, network PANID, and tx power here.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual (4) Click "Module restart", the message box prompts "Module restart successfully", click "Enter configuration mode", the message box prompts "Entered configuration successfully, read parameters successfully", then confirm whether the read PAN ID and channel parameters are same as previously modified.
Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual Similarly, routing nodes and terminal nodes also join a specific ZigBee network according to the above method. If the node type is unchanged but needs to join to another ZigBee network, the Enter button next to the node type configuration also needs to be clicked.
Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual (3) Similarly, the terminal unicasts to the coordinator. 7.3.1.2 Unicast between the terminal and the coordinator with long addresses (1) Before communication, first enter the configuration mode and configure the target MAC address. On the coordinator side, configure the target MAC address as the long MAC address of the terminal.
Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual (2) After the target MAC address is configured, you also need to configure the transmission mode, change the "network address (short address)" to "MAC address", and then write the parameters again. At this time, the target address is configured for unicast in the form of MAC address.

The message box prompts "In multicast mode, the nodes in the network with the same group number will receive multicast data", modify the target group number to "5", and then write the parameter, and the...
Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd E180-DTU(ZG120-232) Usermanual (4) For example, when the terminal is the receiving end, enter the configuration mode, change the network group number to "4", and then write the parameter. At this time, because the network group number is not "5", the coordinator multicast data cannot be received.
Network structure diagram 9 Practical applications Ebyte DTU is suitable for various point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless data transmission systems, such as smart homes, IoT transformation, power load monitoring, distribution network automation, hydrological and hydrological monitoring, water pipe network monitoring, urban street lights monitoring, air defense alarm control,...
