Hi guys,

I would like to know if its possible to use Zig100 with CM5 controller in mange mode(toss mode).

Is there any writing/manual on this.It would be really great if some one could explain on this or point me to some write up on this.

Thanks a lot,
Rikkov

Hi rikkov,

I have not tried it of course, but it should work. The ZigBee link is wired to the same pins as the normal serial connection. The controller can sense whether the serial cable is plugged into its socket or not. If it is then the controller disables the ZigBee and communicates over the serial cable. If the cable is unplugged, it uses the ZigBee link. If you have another ZigBee with a Zig2Serial board attached to your computer then you should be able to send commands wirelessly as long as the serial cable remains unplugged.
