When the Connect button is clicked, the Comm Port Settings box opens. 
 
 
 
Note: Be sure to close all resident programs that use the Serial port such as any portable 
digital assistant syncing software (ex: Palm’s HotSync) prior to running ZB Demo. 
 
The Comm Port Settings dialog is pre-loaded with default settings. In most instances, simply 
clicking OK will allow ZBDemo to find the radio and load the main program window. If, however, 
the default settings are incorrect, the radio will not be found. This screen allows you to connect 
to the radio using two methods.  
 
The first is to use the drop down menus to change the default settings for Comm Port, Baudrate, 
Parity and Stop Bits to the correct values. Obviously, this assumes you know which settings the 
radio is using. The Comm Port drop down menu will display a list of Comm port selections from 
1 to 16. Selections that are valid will be marked as OK. If an invalid selection is chosen, when 
the OK button is clicked, an error message will be displayed indicating that the selected Comm 
Port is not valid.  
 
If a valid Comm port is selected, but the radio is not connected to that port, a baud rate error 
message will be displayed saying a radio could not be detected at the proper baudrate. If this 
message is received, select another Comm Port and try to connect again. 
 
If, however, the default parameters have been changed and are not known, a second method, 
Auto Detect, is available.  
 
The Auto Detect function works this way. If set to FALSE, once OK is selected, the program 
uses the default settings to try to communicate with the radio. If set to TRUE, the program will 
begin a systematic process beginning with the first valid port (COM 1 in most cases) then will 
cycle through each baud rate, then each parity setting, then each stop bit setting finally 
changing to the next available COM port and repeating the process until a radio is found.   
 
Once the radio has been found, click OK and after a few seconds, information about the ZigBee 
module in the radio will be displayed in the Local Radio column along with its 8-byte MAC 
address. The Status condition of CONNECTED indicates the computer has detected the radio 
as shown below.
