1. Introduction

The design of this module is very simple, even people who don’t understand RF can

use it easily. The way of setting this module is just as COM Port.

AO-1507 ZigBee to USB dongle is 2.4GHz wireless transmission module. This module

uses TI CC2531 ZigBee SoC which is high reliability, high performance and low-power

consumption. Using IEEE802.15.4/Zigbee Pro wireless transmission technology, you don’t

have to set transmission line. You still could reach the purpose of monitor wireless.

AO-1507 allows users to use RS232/RS485/Modbus RTU agreements to connect the

monitor devices, and detect baud rate automatically. You can set PAN ID, NODE ID and RF

channel parameters. When you use a computer with one of USB port (WinXP/Vista/Win7),

you can use it immediately after installing driver. Meanwhile, it will generate a virtual COM

port in the computer. This module also has bottom of switching on/off and clearance

(hardware version). By AT commands (software version) switching Coordinator or Router,

users can change the ZigBee network type operating in different domain.

2. Feature

AO-1507 Zigbee to USB Dongle’s features are as below：(i) easy to use；(ii) you could set

just as general COM Port, therefore, it is compatible with any PC；(iii) small；(iv) it has

high-efficiency PCB antenna. It could transmit 30 meters in common environment and reach

50 meters in ideal environment.

AO-1507 ZigBee to USB Dongle can be used in indoor and outdoor. It can be used in

ZigBee internet Coordinator, Router, Repeater, ZigBee monitor spot, WSN, and Lighting

Control. If you use CC Debugger of TI (Texas Instruments), you can edit and burn programs by

yourself.

4.2 Initial function setting

TI provides 2 kinds of drivers. They are 32bit and 64bit operation systems. Users

need to choose the version which meets your needs.

The steps of Installing driver CC2531 USB are as below

1. put AO-1507 into USB port, and wait the operation system to confirm Device

Type。

2. press Control Panel�Device Manager�Port(COM and LPT) will increase a “TI

CC2531 Low-Power RF to USB CDC Serial Port (COM6)” (Notice: the No. of

COM may be different.)

3. press “TI CC2531 Low-Power RF to USB CDC Serial Port (COM6)" right

bottom�Renew Driver�Check the drivers on the computer, and input the

Front

Back




path of driver�Done

If there is no PAN ID or NODE ID set in AO-1507 ZigBee USB Dongle, users have to

set in the first time. The steps are as below.

1 First, you have to choose the function “Coordinator” or “Router”. (please see

4.1 function choosing). And then connect the port.

2 The PC connects AO-1507 ZigBee USB Dongle via USB. The PC opens terminal

software. The communicated parameters preset to 9600bps, 8-bit data, none

parity check, and 1-bit stop bit.

3 You have to set “Coordinator” first and set “Router” next. When you set

“Router”, make sure “Coordinator” is closed. Otherwise, Router can’t

complete searching PAN ID and can’t access domain.

4 AO-1507 ZigBee to USB Dongle responds module working mode as below.

NODE ID: generate NOTE ID from system. 4 digits HEX code.

PAN ID: generate PAN ID from system. 4 digits HEX code.

RF Channel: normal number: 11-26. 00 means that Zigbee doesn’t be

started.

Coordinator PAN ID Status:

U= Coordinator PAN ID be written

S= Coordinator PAN ID not be written

Module Working Mode:

C=Coordinator

R=Router




String Header：is fixed to “ : ”

5 If AO-1507 is as “Coordinator”, you have to enter “AT Command” mode to use

ATPID command to write in PAN ID. (Please see 6. AT Command part)

6 If AO-1507 is as “Router”, it will write in NODE ID automatically.

7 Sending character string “---” can query AO-1507 working mode message

immediately.

4.3 Clear current ID or re-connect internet (ID Clear)

Set by software. (please see 6. AT Command part)

5. Installation and operation

5.1 Set up a complete ZigBee network

A complete ZigBee network must have at least one Coordinator and one Router

or End Device. All the members in the same ZigBee domain must have the same PAN

ID. However, they must have a individual NODE ID. So you need to set PAN ID and

NODE ID via UART before use. (Refer to 4.2 Initial function setting and 6. AT

Command part).




5.2 Coordinator sending data

In the ZigBee network, one Coordinator can connect at most 65,000 Router

nodes. When the terminal application via AO-1507 ZigBee USB Dongle sends data to

any Router, it has to assign destination NODE ID in every data. The preset command

of AO-1507 Zigbee to USB Dongle is ASCII code. It’s format is :xxxx. “:” is start code.

“xxxx” is destination code.

A sample is as below. The control terminate sends one data “$01M” to device of

NODE ID=0002. The command string will be :0002$01M. “:0002” is 5 bytes ASCII

code. “$01M” doesn’t limit format.

5.3 Router sends back data

If a Router or End device wants to send data to control terminate, it just sends

them directly without adding any pre-control code. Because destination is fixed

Coordinator (NODE ID=0000). Please see the below diagram. (Notice：No matter

Coordinator, Router or End Device, the size of sending data must be under 50 bytes.

If the size of data is more than 50 bytes, every 50 bytes has to insert 50-100ms delay.




5.4 Query the ZigBee network structure

ZigBee network takes “Coordinator” as center. In normal condition, users don’t need

to know the whole framework of the internet. If users want to know the whole

framework in some special condition, you can query via NETAS. Each Router receiving

commands will report to its NODE ID and Father NODE. Its format will be：FFFF-NNNN.

“：” is the start character. FFFF is the NODE ID of the Router’s Father NODE. If it is “0000”,

it means the Father NODE is coordinator. “NNNN” means the Router which replies the

command is its NODE ID.

There is an example as below. This network includes a coordinator (NODE ID is 0000)

and 4 Routers (NODE IDs are EDA6, 9286, 383A and B05C)

When the coordinator sends NETAS commands, each router will report to its NODE ID

and Father NODE. If responding data are :0000-EDA6, :EDA6-9286, :EDA6-383A,

and :9286-B05C, the framework is as below.




Each Router and its Father NODE are generated by ZigBee agreements automatically.

Therefore, you re-connect the network every time, it may generate different network

frameworks.

5.5 The items which could apply to AO-1507
