SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

ZigBee

• Two 128-bit Encryption keys

• Link Key – shared by all devices

• Network Key • Created by the Coordinator

• Shared with other nodes encrypted by the link key

• Joining can be disabled

DigiMesh

• Shared 128-bit AES encryption key


NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS

• Node Identifier command

• Network discovery

• Commissioning button/assoc. LED

• Loopback Testing (cluster 12)

• Neighbor polling*

• Trace routing*

• Adjacent link testing*

• NACK messages*

* Value add features unique to DigiMesh Feature


SO WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

ZigBee offers these advantages:

• Open standard with interoperability between vendors

• Cloud Kit/X2e available

• Source Routing / Many-to-one routing

DigiMesh offers these advantages:

• Network setup is simpler

• Multiple frequencies available

• More flexibility to expand the network – No End Device / Router ratios to worry about

• Increased reliability in environments where routers may come and go due to interference or damage


What about interference with other technologies like WiFi in 2.4 GHz ?

WIFI / ZIGBEE COEXISTENCE

Test Results

o Communication stable at 100% (no packet loss)

o Maximum throughput drop at 18% - depends on number of hops in the network

o If any concern remains, note that 802.15.4 offers free channels not touched by WiFi (Channel 25/26 and

sometimes channel 15 and 20)

o Literally NO coexistence issues!

o If range is not as good as expected, the issue is the environment (walls, metal) at 95% of the cases!

THE XBEE STORY


WHY XBEE ?

• Ease-of-use

• Reliability

• Scalability

• Global Reach

• Tools and Resources


• XBee Features and Benefits • UART Data Input (3.3V) • 4 ADC’s (incl. auto sample) • 8-16 DIO lines (incl. change detect) • Supply voltage monitoring • OTA configuration & firmware update • Transparent AT mode / API mode

• - full control

• - diagnostics

• - monitoring

XBEE FEATURES

No additional micro controller required for: • Automatically sending analog voltages

(sensor values) • Automatically sending digital I/O status • Automatically sending battery voltage

warnings


AT Mode

• Simple, Transparent

• Streaming performance

• …but no information about network / messaging status

API Mode

• Quick commands, Quick addressing

• Additional information

• Source addresses / network messages / network discovery / error messages / etc.

• Over the air configuration and firmware updates

• Over the air AIO/DIO control and supply voltage monitoring

• Supports ZigBee certified profiles! e.g. building automation profile

DIGI XBEE API - BENEFITS

• AT / API mode only applies to the UART of the XBee module!

• Only defines how applications (micro controllers, etc.) use the module’s serial port

• Same packets over RF no matter if AT or API is used

• You can mix AT and API in one network
