Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2013

7. Q53 Zigbee PAN and Bridge Configuration
ZigBee Configuration Settings

By default, the Q53 acts only as a ZigBee Bridge Device (ZBD) to bridge ZigBee 
network messages over TCP/IP. However, the Q53 is also capable of acting as ZigBee 
Coordinator for the local ZigBee PAN.

Configuration Management: Allows named gateway configurations to be stored on the 
Q53 and retrieved by name.

Selected Configuration: Allows the selected/current configuration to be displayed and 
modified.

ZDO: ZDO specific parameters are set here, including:

Startup Mode: The device will join a PAN as a Router or form the PAN as a ZigBee 
coordinator

Use Persistent Data: The ZigBee specification indicated that the following 
information should be preserved across resets in order to maintain an operating 
network:

•

The device’s PAN Id and Extended PAN Id.

•

The device’s 16-bit network address.

•

The 63-bit IEEE address and 16-bit network address of each associated end 
device child and if nwkAddrAlloc is equal to 0 then also each associated router 
child.

•

For end devices, the 16-bit network address of the parent device.

•

The stack profile in use.

•

The device depth.

Scan Attempts: Integar value representing the number of scan attempts to make 
before the device decides which ZigBee coordinator or router to associate with. This 
attribute has default value of 5 and valid values of between 1 and 255.

Scan Duration:
Permit-Join Duration: The period of which the coordinator will allow nodes to join.
