ZIGBEE TERMINOLOGY

To understand how to use the RFG, the system designer needs to understand ZigBee terminology.

MASTER BASE

The Master Base is the coordinator of the RF mesh network. Its job is to receive information from the Repeater Bases and End-Points in the system, consolidate that information, and provide it to the main controlled source. The Master Base is like a head coach in football. His job is to listen to the assistant coaches and players to create and send the game plan to those that execute it. The Master Base should be located centrally and as high as possible within the system design. A Master Base is hard-wired to the main controlled source, the MultiZone receiver, or iC2 Main System Unit.

END-POINT

The End-Point is where the RF transmitted information starts and stops. For the RFG, the End-Point is typically a MultiZone system keypad. A system design can have multiple End-Points (keypads). End-Points can be spread over a large area and communicate directly to the Master Base, or through a Repeater Base to the Master Base. By its nature an End-Point will not repeat RF information to other End-Points.

REPEATER BASE

The job of a Repeater Base is to listen for any network RF information, take that information and re-transmit it so that other bases can pick it up if they are too far away for direct communication.
