Insight Startup Window

Select a serial port from the list displayed and select the Open 

Port button.  Leave the controller address and message speed 

box at their default.

Opening ZigBee Module Tab

Select Modules from the menu, then select Zigbee from the 

drop down list. A new tab will be added to the tab list named 

Zigbee Wireless. Click on the ZigBee wireless tab. 

Retrieve Router Information

After the router has a unique TCS address, connect the 

QD1010 to each router using the RS-485 via phone jack or 

terminal blocks located on the bottom board.  Select the “Get” 

button for the Device Type and Firmware Version, verify that it 

displays router and the current firmware version as shown.

Set PAN ID and Channel for Wireless Network

On the Network Mode tab set the PAN ID on each router to that 

of your network. In this example, the PAN ID is set to 828. It is 

important that each router and the gateway be set to the same 

PAN ID otherwise nodes will not be able to join the wireless 

network. A different PAN ID should be given to each wireless 

network in a given area.

Hit the set button once you have set the PAN ID, hit the get 

button to verify that it was successfully set.

It is a good idea to record the IEEE Address of each of your 

routers for future reference.

Set Channel List for Wireless Network

Get the channel list, and set the channels you want the wireless 

network to be able to use. If only a single wireless network is 

present, the network will automatically pick the best channel 

among the channels that you have selected. To force the 

network to use a specific channel select only one channel
