Chapter 1 Product Overview

1.1 Product Introduction

E18-DTU (Z27-ETH) is a high-power ZigBee gateway, he has a complete supporting
ZigBee node device, supports adaptive network speed (up to 10M full duplex), provides TCP
Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client, HTTP Client, MQTT Client six working
modes, users can configure through WEB web pages. There are 3 types of logical devices in
ZigBee networks: coordinators, routers, and end devices. A ZigBee network consists of a
coordinator and multiple routers or terminals.
Ethernet features
RJ45 supports 10M Ethernet interface；

Support multiple working modes (TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client, HTTPC, MQTTC)；

Supports three configuration modes: configuration tool, web page, and AT command；

Server mode supports multiple socket connections；

Supports multiple baud rates；

Support DHCP function, after enabling DHCP, the IP address of the device will be assigned by the router, which may cause the IP

address to be unable to be determined, resulting in inaccessibility, it is generally recommended to use a static IP；
Support DNS (Domain Name Resolution), you can customize the domain name resolution server；

Supports multiple Modbus gateways (simple protocol conversion, multi-master mode, storage-based gateways, configurable gateways)；

Supports fast access to Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Cloud, OneNET, HUAWEI CLOUD, and standard MQTT servers version 3.1；

Support HTTP protocol (GET/POST request)；

Support virtual serial port；

Support timeout restart function, you can customize the restart time；

Support short connection function, you can customize short connection interval；

Support heartbeat package and registration package functions；

Support serial port cache cleaning function；

Support access to the Internet and LAN；

Hardware factory reset is supported；

Support online upgrade function。

ZigBee features
Centralized network management: ZIGBEE 3.0 security standard centralized network access mechanism, data security and reliability；

Interoperability: Zigbee 3.0 standard network mechanism, compatible with ZCL network protocol；

Large capacity: 256K capacity flash, 8K capacity RAM, the maximum number of network nodes can be expanded to 32；

Role switching: Users can switch devices arbitrarily in the three types of coordinators, routers, and terminals through serial port

commands；
Support multiple network topologies: point-to-point, star, mesh；

Network self-healing: If a network intermediate node is lost, a new mesh topology is automatically formed, and the lost node is

automatically retrieved after it is restarted；
Automatic routing: The module supports the network routing function；

Open and closed network networking: The coordinator controls the opening or closing of the network, and devices that meet the ZigBee

3.0 standard can join the network during the open network period. If the coordinator does not turn off after opening the network, it will
automatically shut down after 180 seconds。
One-click network addition: The node does not need to set PANID and channel, but only needs to trigger the network addition during the

window time of the coordinator to open the network。
Automatic channel and PANID: The coordinator automatically creates a network on the optimal channel and automatically assigns a

PANID to avoid duplication with other coordinators。
Automatic MAC address: The coordinator can obtain the MAC address and short address of the node at the moment of node networking,

without the need for processing on the device side。
Address search: Users can find the corresponding short address according to the MAC address (unique, fixed) of the node that has joined
