6.1.1 ZNet vs. ZB Firmware
RCM4510W modules are preconfigured with ZNet 2.5 or ZB router firmware. The firm-
ware preloaded at the factory is indicated with the model number and is reflected in differ-
ent part numbers (see Table 1). Older RCM4510W modules shipped with ZNet firmware
and do not have a sticker on their XBee RF module.
• ZNet 2.5 firmware is supported by Dynamic C v. 10.21 and later versions. (Preview
• ZB firmware is supported by Dynamic C v. 10.46 and later versions.
ZigBee networks developed around the two types of firmware are essentially different net-
works that are not compatible with each other. It is possible to migrate an application devel-
oped with ZNet 2.5 firmware to ZB firmware by installing the ZB firmware on the XBee
RF module and recompiling the application using Dynamic C v. 10.46 or later versions.
Some macros prior to Dynamic C v. 10.46 have been deprecated, but will still function
with Dynamic C v. 10.46 or later versions. You can expect to see warning messages in this
case. The only way to avoid this situation is to disable warning messages (not recom-
mended), or to replace the macros with the new ones. The table below lists some of the
commonly used macros.
See Section 6.2.2 for additional information on macros that are specific to the two types of
firmware.
