Demonstration Kit User Guide
Starting the
network
The Demonstration Kit consists of five RCB nodes, one of which is connected into the
Display Board and will act as a PAN Coordinator. Starting the network and experiment-
ing with network reconfiguration are discussed in the following subparagraphs.
Note:
After the RCB is connected to the Display Board, the power switch on the Display Board
should be moved to BAT for battery power, or EXT for AC Adaptor power. The Atmel
splash screen is displayed on the LCD display similar to that shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1. Atmel splash screen
Note:
While the splash screen is displayed, move the power switch on the attached RCB to
ON (towards the LCD screen). The RCB will then scan all channels in the 2450 MHz
band - Channels 11 (2405 MHz) through 26 (2480 MHz) for other active PANs. The dis-
play during channel scan is shown in Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2. Screen during Channel scan
The RCB firmware will determine if a PAN exists on each channel and select the lowest
channel where there is no conflicting PAN. When a channel is selected (11 in this case),
the display will be similar to Figure 5-3.
The following paragraph discusses starting the network with the PAN Coordina-
tor started first and then the nodes coming online in random sequence. The
network can also be started with the nodes being started first and then the PAN
Coordinator coming online and establishing the network. A combination of
these two approaches can also be used.
While the Display Board can be powered from an ac adaptor or batteries, all of
the RCBs must have batteries installed.
