The AT Command mode implemented in the ZB2430 creates a virtual version of the Command/Data pin. The “Enter AT Command Mode” Command asserts this virtual pin Low (to signify Command Mode) and the “Exit AT Command Mode” Command asserts this virtual pin High (to signify Data). Once this pin has been asserted Low, all On-the-Fly CC Commands documented in the manual are supported.

The ZB2430 transceiver contains static memory that holds many of the parameters that control the transceiver operation. Using the “CC” command set allows many of these parameters to be changed during system operation. Because the memory these commands affect is static, when the transceiver is reset, these parameters will revert back to the settings stored in the EEPROM.

While in Command mode, the incoming RF interface of the transceiver is active and packets sent from other transceivers will still be received; however no outgoing RF packets will be sent. The transceiver uses Interface Timeout/RF Packet Size to determine when a CC Command is complete. Therefore, there should be no delay between each character as it is sent from the OEM Host to the transceiver or the transceiver will not recognize the command.

When an invalid command is sent, the radio discards the data and no response is sent to the OEM Host. Table 8 below shows a quick summary of the basic configuration & diagnostic commands available on the ZB2430. For detailed command information, please refer to the command descriptions immediatly following the Quick Reference Table.
