User-Defined Route Mode With A Back-Up Route - ICP DAS USA ZB-2510 User Manual

*a: Data transmission to the ZigBee Device from the ZigBee Host is in the
opposite direction.
*b: Repeater ID 00 is reserved for the ZigBee Host. Repeater IDs should be
set beginning from 1.
By following the above configuration, the data transmission route for this
mode will be as follows:
*1: ICP DAS provides two hardware and software versions that can be
selected by the user depending on different environments.
*2: Not only does a unique PAN ID need to be set for the repeater, in the same
way as any other ZigBee product, but a repeater ID number also needs to
be set for use in user-defined route mode.
*3: Data transmission from the ZigBee Host to the ZigBee Device is in the
opposite direction.

3. User-defined Route Mode with a back-up route:

User-defined route mode allows more flexibility in the ZigBee application and
more expansion of the network. There are times when we need to consider an
application where one or more repeaters in the ZigBee network are invalid.
Communication between the host and the device will be disrupted, which will
cause the data to be trapped at the failed repeaters. Even if a scanning device
is used to locate and replace the invalid repeater, the entire system will be
inactive while time is wasted waiting for the engineer to repair the problem.
Sometimes, if the weather causes a device to be inoperable, or the engineer is
a long distance from the location, the recovery time will be increased. Thus,
the network self-recovery and redundancy functions are very important in this
