Migrating from ZNet 2.5 to XBee ZB Command set
XBee/XBee-PRO ZigBee RF Modules User Guide 195
This section describes the significant differences in XBee ZB compared to its predecessor, ZNet 2.5.
Command set
Firmware versions
New features.
Command set
The following ZNet 2.5 commands have changed for XBee ZB:
ZA - Set / read the ZigBee Addressing enable command. This command was required in ZNet 2.5
to enable application level addressing commands SE, DE, CI. XBee ZB does not support ZA. The
SE, DE, and CI values always determine the application level addressing values.
AI - Read the association status. AI now includes several new values.
New features
ZB offers many new and improved features over ZNet 2.5, including:
Data transmissions are directly resolved to APS unicasts. This provides the ability to send and
receive ZDO commands.
NH command configures the unicast transmission timeout. This command can extend the
number of unicast hops dramatically over the 6-8 hop limit that existed in ZNet 2.5.
ZS command allows ZigBee stack profile to be set as required.
Routers and coordinators can expire end device children from their child tables if the end device
has not polled within a settable timeout.
