Technical support +1.800.704.6079 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 3 of 49 XDM2510H Integration Guide - 03/29/11 1.0 System Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the RFM XDM2510H Development Kit. The XDM2510H transceiver module provides ultra low power consumption while delivering ultra reliable date communications. Comprising the combination of an 802.15.4 low power radio with Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol
(TSMP), the XDM2510H transceiver module along with the XG2510HE network gateway/manager create a wireless mesh network that provides frequency hopping and redundant paths for robust RF performance and intelligent network management that allows all nodes to minimize power consumption. The result is a wireless communication system with the reliability of much more power hungry radios with the power consumption that allows all nodes to be battery powered for years. 2.0 Network Capabilities Wireless sensor networks built on the XDM2510H module and XG2510HE gateway provide a host of capabilities that are rarely found together. A sample of the capabilities includes:
Ultra low power consumption allowing battery-powered operation for more than 10 years Ultra reliable wireless data communications delivering better than 99.9% data reliability in real-world, high multi-path environments Totally self-forming, self-healing Redundant path architecture allowing each node to have at least two nodes through which to send data to the gateway Frequency hopping technology that provides immunity from multi-path fading and interference Advanced network management features that continuously monitors channel performance between pairs of nodes, black-listing channels that demonstrate unacceptable performance and white-listing them when their performance improves Single node type that can perform end node and router functions Sleeping routing nodes allowing all nodes to be battery-powered Support for up to 250 nodes per gateway Support for redundant gateway Ability to co-locate multiple networks due to the frequency hopping technology employed Local communication with the XDM2510H module takes place through a serial port connection. The connection can be configured to use or ignore flow control signals. The module is designed to communicate with a sensor processor or microcontroller which will provide sensor data in the form of a serial data stream. The XG2510HE gateway supports communications through a standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection plus both RS-232 and half-duplex RS-485 serial connections. The Ethernet connection supports both an XML-based API and a binary API. The serial ports support the binary API. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.800.704.6079 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 4 of 49 XDM2510H Integration Guide - 03/29/11 2.1 Ultra Reliable Data Communications An XDM2510H network is able to deliver data reliability far better than other mesh network technologies due to four attributes: Mesh Networking, Frequency Hopping, Path Redundancy and Dynamic Path Assessment. While other technologies may have one or more of these attributes, an XDM network provides all four. Mesh Networking contributes to data reliability by limiting the distance nodes must transmit. The shorter the distance, the less the susceptibility to interference and multi-path fading. Frequency Hopping contributes to reliability by providing multiple frequencies over which data is sent. This combats both interference and multi-path fading as both of those affects impacts certain frequencies more than others. And since the affected frequencies change over time, frequency hopping is cycling through the entire spectrum all the time and will find clear frequencies. Path Redundancy is achieved by maintaining at least two independent paths between each XDM2510H transceiver and the gateway. If a blockage or failure occurs on one path, communications automatically switch to an alternate path. Dynamic Path Assessment is achieved by continuously monitoring channel performance between pairs of nodes. Channels that demonstrate unacceptable performance are temporarily black-listed to minimize battery power usage and unnecessary transmission delays. Black-listed channels are periodically tested and white-listed when their performance improves. 2.2 Ultra Low Power Consumption XDM2510H networks use a combination of precise timing and innovative network management to provide an ultra power efficient system. The advanced 802.15.4 radio design used in the XDM2510H uses 80%
less power during receive than conventional 802.15.4 technology. All nodes in an XDM2510H network can both route and sleep. The XDM2510H network management scheme assigns each node times when they can transmit and times when other nodes can transmit to them. Nodes do not have to wake up frequently in case another node needs to send data to it. Since the nodes know the times that another node can transmit to them, they only wake a brief period of time before that time to be prepared for a transmission. If they dont receive any transmission within a short window of time from when the transmitting node should begin transmitting, the node will return to sleep. This avoids wasting energy if a node has nothing to transmit. Even though the XDM2510H network uses Frequency Hopping technology, because of the precise timing, when a node is due to wake up, it knows on what frequency to listen. Typical frequency hopping systems do not maintain the same precision in timing and therefore must search to find the frequency currently being used. This additional time to re-synchronized with the network consumes power. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

Information on the XDM2510HDK is included in the kit Quick Start Guide and in Section 9 of this document. In addition to this Integration Guide, there are four other documents that provide technical information on the XDM2510H transceiver module and the XG2510HE gateway, as discussed below. Utility programs are also included with the development kit to support communications with the transceiver module and the gateway. RFMs field applications engineering staff and factory technical support staff are also available to answer technical questions for customers designing XDM2510H network applications. 5.1 Integration Guide This Integration Guide provides you with the information you need to successfully integrate the XDM2510H into your product. In addition, information is provided to help you understand how SmartMesh-XD technology works and how you can use the configuration settings to optimize the network performance and behavior for your particular application. Each XDM2510H network requires an XG2510HE gateway. RFM has created separate manuals that detail the gateway hardware, configuration and application program interfaces (APIs), as discussed below. This manual contains only the gateway information needed to understand network operation and any impact it has on module integration. The XG2510HE gateway documents are included on the same CD as the Integration Guide. 5.2 XDM2510H Data Sheet The XDM2510H Data Sheet includes a summary key features, RF, antenna, electrical and mechanical specifications, module pinout and hardware interface details including serial port modes and timing information, plus the XDM2510H application programming interface (API) details including parameter definitions, command-response formats with example packets. 5.3 XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway Hardware and Configuration Guide The XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway Hardware and Configuration Guide includes an overview of SmartMesh-XD network and gateway operation, RF, antenna, electrical and mechanical specifications, XG2510HE installation and configuration details, Ethernet and serial port information, and a discussion of the Admin Toolset configuration utility. 5.4 XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway XML API Guide The XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway XML API Guide presents the details of the XG2510HE XML-
RPC interface, including logging in/out of the control channel, subscribing to the notification channel, details of the configuration schema and notification schema, a discussion of the API commands, code examples and related information for the XML application developer. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The xdmconsole.exe utility communicates with the XG2510HE gateway though the XML-RPC interface over an Ethernet connection. The xdmutility.exe program communicates with the XDM2510H module through its serial interface. Both program can run simultaneously on a PC equipped with both an Ethernet and a serial port. The operational details of these program are presented in Section 9 of this Guide. 6.0 Network Operation Overview An example XDM2510H network is shown in Figure 6.0.1. The network consists of an XG2510HE gateway and up to 250 XDM2510H-based sensor nodes (field nodes). The gateway consists of a SmartMesh-XD radio and a single-board Linux computer. The gateway incorporates the XDM2510H network manager function and provides the application interfaces. The gateway includes an Ethernet port that supports XML-based network commands, and two active RS232 serial ports that support binary string network commands, diagnostics, etc. Figure 6.0.1 SmartMesh-XD traffic is organized in to TDMA frames consisting of 31.25 ms time slots. The gateway assigns time slots to each XDM2510H node in the network, and then maintains a precise report interval
(frame-to-frame period) to provide a highly synchronized network. Network operation also hops from channel to channel in a pseudorandom pattern to mitigate the effects of multipath fading and narrowband interference. The gateway monitors performance on each channel and will temporarily discontinue the use of a channel that is showing poor performance statistics. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

Mesh networking allows traffic to be passed from sensor node to sensor node so that messages can be delivered to and from sensor nodes that can not communicate directly with the gateway. At least two paths are maintained by the network for communication between each field node and the gateway. As needed, a new paths will be automatically established to replace a failing paths to maintain network performance. 7.0 Hardware Integration XDM2510H transceiver modules provide wireless connectivity to a sensor network. XDM2510Hs are integrated with other components to create sensor nodes (field nodes). These components include a host circuit board, a power supply (battery), a microcontroller with sensor I/O electronics, an antenna and a housing, as discussed below. 7.1 Host Circuit Board Installation XDM2510H modules are available in two mechanical configurations, XDM2510HC and XDM2510HP. XDM2510HC modules are installed on their host circuit board by reflow soldering. XDM2510HP modules are installed by plugging their pins into a set of connectors on the host circuit board. Refer to Section 10 of the XDM2510H Data Sheet for the mechanical specifications of the XDM2510HC and XDM2510HP. 7.2 Power Supply Requirements XDM2510H radio modules can operated from an unregulated DC input in the range of 3.3 (trough) to 5.5 V (peak) with a maximum ripple of 5% over the temperature range of -40 to 85 C. Applying AC, reverse DC, or a DC voltage outside the range given above can cause damage and/or create a fire and safety hazard. Further, care must be taken so logic inputs applied to the radio stay within the voltage range of 0 to 3.3 V. 7.3 ESD and Transient Protection XDM2510H modules are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. ESD precautions must be observed when handling and installing these components. Installations must be protected from electrical transients on the power supply and I/O lines. This is especially important in outdoor installations, and/or where connections are made to sensors with long leads. Inadequate transient protection can result in damage and/or create a fire and safety hazard. 7.4 Antenna Options Two types of antennas are included in the XDM2510HDK for use with the XDM2510H module - a 6 dBi directional patch antenna (RFM part number PA2400) and a 2 dBi omni-directional dipole antenna (RFM part number RWA249R), as shown in Figures 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 respectively. The XDM2510H module has been certified for operation with either of these antennas. The patch antenna is usually placed inside a plastic enclosure with the XDM2510H and its host circuit board. The main lobe of the patch antenna pattern is in front of the white face. The dipole antenna can be mounted inside a plastic enclosure, or externally on a plastic or metal enclosure. The dipole does not require a metal ground plane for operation. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

A short coaxial jumper cable should be used between the U.FL connector on the XDM2510H and the host circuit board or antenna. Care must be taken not to preset a VSWR greater than 3:1 to the XDM2510H module. 7.5 Host Processor Interface As shown in Figure 7.5.1, each sensor node consists of an XDM2510H transceiver module and a host microcontroller with sensor I/O electronics (sensor processor). The host microcontroller communicates with the XDM2510H radio module on a serial interface (UART) using binary command and response strings as discussed in Section 9 of the XDM2510H Data Sheet, with additional examples in Section 9.3 of this guide. It is critical that the microcontroller and related electronics be inherently low current devices to achieve long battery life. As detailed in Section 8.4 XDM2510H Data Sheet, the XDM2510H can maintain network communication while the microcontroller is in sleep mode, and provide a wake up signal, /MT_RTS to the processor when action from it is required.

The PA2400 patch antenna is for internal mounting, and the RWA249R can be mounted either internally or externally. When an internal antenna is used, the enclosure must be made of a plastic with low RF loss at 2.4 GHz. When a metal enclosure is used, the RWA249R dipole antenna must be mounted externally. Vertical antenna polarization is recommended. The patch antenna is vertically polarized when the long dimension is horizontal. The dipole antenna is vertically polarized when the dipole is mounted vertically. Outdoor enclosures must be water tight, such as a NEMA 4X enclosures. 7.7 Labeling and Notices Labeling:
A clearly visible label is required on the outside of the users (OEM) enclosure stating the following:

However, careful network planning in advance of installing an XDM2510H network will minimize installation problems, yield the longest battery life, minimize average message latency. RFMs suggested XDM2510H network planning methodology is outlined below. 8.1 Estimating and Planning a Network To estimate the number of field nodes required for the network, gather the following information:
Confirm Antenna Gain - XDM2510H field nodes are usually equipped with either the RWA249R 2 dBi omni-directional dipole antenna or the PA2400 6 dBi directional patch antenna. The vertical dipole antenna has the advantage that it radiates a circular field strength pattern when viewed from overhead
(assuming no interaction with RF obstructions or reflectors), so it can communicate in any horizontal direction. The patch antenna provides about 50% more range than the dipole antenna in a 45 degree pattern directly in front of the antenna (white face), but with poor range in other directions. Installations can include field nodes using both antenna types. Prepare a site floor plan - prepare a site floor plan (map) showing the location of each sensor point and the type of sensor. If the network will span multiple floors, prepare a plan for each floor. Locate any RF barriers - identify on the floor plan any site features, such as heavy machinery, concrete walls, large appliances, or metal structures, which could constitute a major radio frequency (RF) barrier. Locate LAN and AC power access points - mark the location of all LAN and AC power access points that are in or near the area to be covered by the network. Gateway redundancy - assess the risk of power outages and/or LAN subnet failures in order to determine if redundant gateways are advisable. Mark the location to install each XDM2510H transceiver node on the floor plan. Several sensors in the same area can be connected to one XDM2510H node if the host circuit board has adequate inputs/outputs. Number the XDM2510H nodes to distinguish them from the sensor points. If possible, choose a location for the XG2510HE gateway that is close to the highest concentration of XDM2510H nodes or near multiple clusters of XDM2510H nodes. This placement reduces the number of nodes needed as signal repeaters and minimizes system latency. The location you choose must have an AC outlet and LAN access. If redundant gateways are planned, the backup gateway must have access to the same LAN as the primary gateway and be within six feet (2 meters) of the primary gateway. Mark the location of the gateway(s) on the floor plan. If redundant gateways are planned, indicate which is to be the backup gateway. Next, determine XDM2510H node-to-node operating range taking into consideration the RF barriers and other environmental factors at the site, such as other wireless systems, densely stocked shelving, high traffic areas etc., that can interfere with node-to-node communications. Refer to the data below to determine the node-to-node range using dipole antennas. For communication between a dipole antenna and a directional patch antenna, assume 150% of the range given below. For communication between www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.800.704.6079 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 12 of 49 XDM2510H Integration Guide - 03/29/11 two directional patch antennas, use twice the numbers given below. These ranges will apply to most nodes in the network. Light commercial building (dry wall, cubicle walls, many occupants): 82 ft or 25 m Industrial or concrete commercial building (concrete walls, heavy machinery): 33 ft or 10 m Outdoor unobstructed open field (heavy precipitation is not a factor for outdoor range): 820 ft or 250 m Identify any nodes with exceptional environmental factors that could effect node-to-node range. On the floor plan, find the nodes that are within line-of-sight of another or are located next to an obstacle or machinery. Using the data below, mark the node-to-node range next to these nodes on the floor plan. Node located within line-of-sight of another node, with six ft (2 m) vertical clearance above and below the line of sight: 115 ft or 35 m Node located next to an obstacle or machinery: 26 ft or 8 m Use the floor plan and a compass to verify that each XDM2510H nodes will be within range of at least three other nodes or the gateway. Add nodes where needed to function as signal repeaters. Remember where a directional patch antenna is used, its pattern is limited to a 45 degree arc. Based on the scale of the floor plan, set the radius of a drafting compass to the shortest node-to-node range you identified above. Look for nodes that have the shortest node-to-node range and draw a circle around each of them on the floor plan. Verify that each circle contains at least three other nodes. If a node does not have three neighbors, add a signal repeater node between the problem node and its nearest neighbor, in the area where the circles around these nodes overlap. Mark the position of the new repeater node on the floor plan and indicate that it is a repeater. Draw a circle around the repeater mote to verify that it is within range of three nodes. Repeat the steps in the paragraph above for nodes with the next larger range, drawing circles around the nodes and adding nodes where needed as signal repeaters. Continue repeating the steps until the nodes with the longest range have been mapped. Draw a range circle around the gateway and verify the circle contains at least three XDM2510H nodes. If the gateway does not have three neighbors, follow the same process for the gateway as you did for the XDM2510H nodes without three neighbors - add a signal repeater node between the gateway and its nearest neighbor, and then make sure that the signal repeater is within range of three other nodes. If redundant gateways are planned, repeat the paragraph above for the backup gateway. When you have completed your layout where the gateway and each field node has at least three neighbors you can size the network. Note: a network is defined as a Gateway(s) and up to 250 motes. Multiple networks may be deployed in the same area without affecting network integrity because you pre-configure each XDM2510H node to report to a specific gateway. To size the network, count the number of nodes including the signal repeaters you marked on the floor plan. Multiply the number of nodes by 1.10 to provide a 10% margin for expansion, contingencies, etc. then determine the number of gateways required for the network. An XG2510HE gateway can support up to 250 XDM2510H field nodes. For example, if you estimate that 340 nodes are required , the installation will require two networks with about 170 field nodes in each network. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

It is recommended that you document the details of each field node installation in a worksheet that technicians can use as a guide when installing the network. On the floor plan, number each node. Record the following data in the worksheet for each node shown on the floor plan:
The node number from the floor plan. For example, Field Node 50 A description of the location for the node. For example, NE utility closet, panel 5D. A description of each sensor to be connected to the node. For example, Veris H922 The location of each sensor connected to the node. For example, Phase 3 The range of each sensor connected to the node. For example, 0 - 100 A The field node I/O channel the sensor is connected to. For example, I/O channel 2 A place to record the MAC address of each XDM2510H field node 8.2 Installing a Network Start by selecting the operating mode of the network. The XG2510HE gateway can be configured to operate the network in one of two modes - continuous mode or event-driven mode. The operating mode determines the number of links the gateway assigns for data transmission from the XDM2510H field nodes. A link contains timeslot and channel usage information that determines the time and frequency at which two field nodes can transmit information to each other. Choosing the appropriate operating mode is important because the number of link assignments is a factor in determining the network frame length. The number of link assignments also affects network performance attributes including data throughput capacity, battery life and data transmission latency. More links allows for higher data throughput, with a tradeoff of lower battery life and greater data transmission latency. Continuous mode (default setting) assigns more links than the event-driven mode, and is appropriate for networks in which the data generation rate is expected to be constant for each field node and constant over time. If these conditions are present, continuous mode is best even if there are some event-driven nodes in the network. Event-driven mode assigns fewer links than continuous mode. This mode is only appropriate for networks in which the amount of data generated is very small - especially if the data is event-based and it is likely that only be one packet will be in the network at a time. Figure 8.2.1 illustrates how the gateway assigns links depending on the operating mode. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.800.704.6079 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 14 of 49 XDM2510H Integration Guide - 03/29/11 Figure 8.2.1 The next step is to determine a frame length that is optimum for the network size and data reporting rate. Network performance is based on highly-synchronized data transmissions coordinated by the gateway. The network frame length (measured in timeslots or slots) controls the duration of the gateways data transmission cycle. One slot equals 31.25 milliseconds, and is the amount of time given to each XDM2510H node to transmit a packet. Frame length primarily depends on network size. It must be long enough for each network field node to have an opportunity to transmit a packet. The larger the network, the longer the optimum frame length. A trade off exists between frame length, power consumption, data latency and the minimum allowable report interval. A longer frame length means lower power consumption and longer battery life, but also increased data latency and a longer minimum allowable report interval. It is recommended that the shortest report interval be at least three times as long as the frame length to ensure that field nodes have at least three frames in which to transmit data packets. The optimum frame length for the network is calculated differently depending on the operating mode being used. You also need to know the maximum number of field nodes expected in the network and the shortest report interval used in the network. To calculate the optimum network frame length:
Determine the minimum requirement for the network frame length in slots by following instructions for the operating mode you are using. If the operating mode is Continuous, multiply the maximum number of motes expected in the network by 3:
Minimum frame length in slots = 3 x Maximum number of nodes expected in the network For example, if the network is expected to have 120 nodes and is running in continuous mode, the minimum requirement for frame length would be 120 x 3 = 360 slots. If the operating mode is event-driven, multiply the maximum number of nodes expected in the network by 5 and divide by 15, the number of frequency channels on the XDM2510H field node:
Minimum Frame Length in Slots = (Maximum number of nodes expected in the network x 5 ) Number of node frequency channels www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc. Technical support +1.800.704.6079 E-mail: tech_sup@rfm.com Page 15 of 49 XDM2510H Integration Guide - 03/29/11

For example, if a network is expected to have 60 field nodes and is running in event-driven mode, the minimum requirement for frame length would be (60 x 5) 15) = 20 slots. If the operating mode is continuous, verify that the frame length will support the shortest report interval. Multiply the frame length in slots by 31.25 to convert the frame length to milliseconds:
Frame length in milliseconds = 31.25 x Frame length in slots For example, a frame length of 360 slots would be 31.25 x 360 = 11,250 ms or 11.25 seconds. Multiply the frame length in milliseconds by three, and compare the result with the shortest report interval. It is recommended that the shortest report interval used in the network be at least three times the frame length to ensure that the field nodes have at least three frames in which to send packets:
Shortest report interval = 3 x frame length Use the shortest report interval above to configure the frame length on the gateway. After determining an appropriate frame length for the network, configure the frame length and other network settings on the gateway and verify that the gateways network ID and join key are set to the factory defaults. The network ID and join key (encryption password) determine which field nodes are allowed to join the network. The gateway only accepts join requests from field nodes sharing the same network ID and join key. Gateways and field nodes are pre-set with the same network ID and join key at the factory, and these default settings must be in place when you initially install the network. Once the network is installed and network connectivity is established, it is recommended that you change the default network ID and join key for security purposes. Refer to the XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway Hardware and Configuration Guide for gateway configuration details. The following guidelines are recommended for positioning XDM2510H field nodes. Field nodes should be at least three to four feet above the ground or the floor, and should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) distance from each other. Dipole antennas should be oriented vertically for best horizontal coverage. Directional patch antennas should have their long axis in the horizontal plane with the white face of the antenna aimed in the direction where maximum range is needed. Where possible, elevate field nodes for better propagation. This is particularly important for repeaters. If field nodes are placed at different heights, make sure that they are within the antennas vertical pattern. The vertical pattern of both the dipole and the patch antennas is 45 degrees from the horizontal plane. (see Figures 8.2.2 and 8.2.3). Figure 8.2.2 Figure 8.2.3 Do not position field nodes directly above or below each other. Stagger the positions for better transmission (see Figures 8.2.4 and 8.2.5). www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

D Figure 8.2.4 Figure 8.2.5 To the extent possible, do not install field nodes next to metal or in an area where they are surrounded by metal, such as under a metal hood. Do not install field nodes directly next to a WiFi access point, a 2.4 GHz cordless phone base unit or other 2.4 GHz transmission devices. Avoid installing field nodes on a surface with high vibration levels. Also, do not place field nodes in locations where the temperature can fall outside their rated range. As shown in Figures 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the radio signal is strongest 45 degrees above and below the horizontal plane, and weakest directly above and below the antenna. For best transmission results, position field nodes such that their strong signal areas overlap, as shown in the good examples in Figures 8.2.4 and 8.2.5. After the XG2510HE gateway and XDM2510H field nodes are installed and turned on, the network will form and gradually optimize. The amount of time it takes the network to reach a full service level depends on the number of field nodes and the amount of 2.4 GHz background interference around the installation. Networks comprised of 32 nodes or less will typically form in a few hours. Large networks approaching the limit or 250 field nodes can take 24 hours to form. You may notice the network changing over the course of several hours as it evolves towards a more optimal state. The XG2510HE SmartMesh-XT www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

A gateway continuously optimize the network by adjusting network links to improve overall latency and power consumption while maintaining high reliability. 8.3 Testing Network Connectivity Connectivity to each field node can be checked two ways. First, the XDM2510H provides an output to drive a status LED. Assuming the field nodes have the status LED implemented, this signal will indicate the network connectivity status of the field node as shown in the table below. LED Signaling Field Node State On, fully configured into network with redundant parents Off, or in sleep mode On, and searching for potential network On, and attempting to join the network On, and attempting to establish redundant links High Single blink (750 ms low, 3 s high) Double blink (750 ms low, 750 ms high, 750 ms low, 3 s high) Triple blink (750 ms low, 750 ms high, 750 ms low, 750 ms high, 750 ms low, 3 s high) Low The second way to check the network connectivity of each field node is to send a command to it using the XDM Console utility, as discussed in Section 9.3 below. As discussed above, once network connectivity is established with all field nodes it is recommended that you change the default network ID and join key for security purposes. Refer to the XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway Hardware and Configuration Guide for gateway configuration details. 8.4 Network Maintenance XDM2510H networks generally require little maintenance. Field node batteries will occasionally need to be replaced, and software upgrades may need to be installed from time to time to add new network features and/or to improve some aspect of network performance. Battery replacement should be done with care, especially if lithium thionyl chloride or similar long life batteries are being used. Always replace batteries with the same type. Be careful not to install the batteries backwards, or allow either the old batteries or the new batteries to become shorted. Use an environmentally safe method to dispose of the used batteries. Do not burn batteries or expose them to water. Batteries can explode, leak, or cause personal injury if improperly disposed. The XG2510HE gateway has a built-in configuration utility called Admin Toolset, which can be accessed with a web browser. Admin Toolset includes provisions upgrading the gateway software and the field node software over the air. The XG2510HE SmartMesh-XD Gateway Hardware and Configuration Guide covers the use of Admin Toolset, including software upgrades. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.

The XDM2510HDK development kit includes a number of configuration options in both the XG2510HE gateway and the XDM2510H transceiver development boards. However, it is recommended that the kit be initially started in its default configuration, as discussed below. Install a 2 dBi antenna on the front of the XG2510HE gateway. Install the appropriate wall plug on the XG2510HE universal AC power supply. Referring to Figure 9.1.1, plug the power supply green strip plug into the power connector on the back of the XG2510HE. Connect the XG2510HE to your DHCP supported LAN with one of the RJ-45 Ethernet cables. Plug in the XG2510HE power supply. The XG2510HE takes about two minutes to boot up. 3. Observe ESD precautions when handling the XDM2510H development boards. Referring to Figure 9.1.2, install a patch antenna on each development board. The antenna snaps onto the RF connector on the development board with moderate pressure. Install the appropriate wall plugs on the four XDM2510H universal AC power supplies. Plug the power supply cables into the coaxial power connectors on the development boards. Turn the AC power supplies on. 4. Copy xdmconsole.exe and xdmutility.exe from the Programs folder on the kit CD to a convenient folder on your host PC. These programs run using ordinary Windows resources and do not require any registry entries or framework, dll, etc., installations. The xdmconsole.exe utility communicates with the XG2510HE gateway through the LAN, and xdmutility.exe communicates with an XDM2510H development board through a serial connection. If the host PC has both an Ethernet connection and an RS232 port, it is possible to initially operate the kit with this one computer. 5. The host PC should be plugged into the LAN. Install one of the RJ-45 to RS232 adaptors on an RJ-45
(Ethernet) cable. Plug the adaptor into the PC serial port. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the XDM2510H development boards. 6. Start xdmconsole.exe. Type in admin for the Password. Figure 9.1.3 shows the xdmconsole window following a connection to the XG2510HE gateway. 2. www.RFM.com 2008-2011 by RF Monolithics, Inc.
