1.3 CEL ZIC2410 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The CEL ZIC2410 system of hardware components and software tools allows users, on their
PCs, to easily and efficiently design and implement prototype wireless applications such as
Security or Remote Sensing Networks.
The process starts by creating custom applications. Existing application examples can be
modified to suit the user’s needs or unique applications can be created using the supplied
libraries and the tools of this easy-to-use program. Once the firmware has been created, it
is compiled by Keil 8051 compiler an d converted to programming files for each of the nodes.
A CEL software program, known as the Device-Programmer, then allows the user to
program the firmware to the memory space of the ZIC2410 either through a direct download
or Over-The-Air (OTA).
At the heart of system is the evaluation board, the ZICM2410P0-EVB3s, which houses the
ZICM2410P0 IEEE 802.15.4 module. In addition, the evaluation board contains all the
necessary peripherals to interface with the chip in order to implement a variety of
applications and test scenarios.
In order to monitor the newly created prototype network, CEL provides the Packet-Analyzer
program and the ZIC2410USB-WNA Wireless Network Analyzer. The network traffic can
be captured wirelessly for the purpose of testing or troubleshooting. The program’s multiple
tools and views allow the user to display the information being sent in ways as complex as
the frame details at each layer for an individual packet.

3 INSTALLING THE USB T O COM PORT DRIVER
In order to interface a PC to the evaluation boards or the ZIC2410USB-WNA, a driver file
must be installed onto the PC, allowing it to utilize the USB port. The USB to RS-232 driver
installation file can be found on the CD in the
\ZIC2410\Tools\Others\CP210X_DRIVER\ directory.
3.1 Installing the Drivers
The following is the procedure to decompress the drivers:
1. Double-click on the “CP210x_VCPInstaller.exe” executable, if prompted by an Open
File – Security Warning dialog box, click the Run button.
2. When the Silicon Laboratories CP210x USB to UART Bridge Driver Installer dialog is
displayed, accept the default installation location and click the Install button.
Figure 1 – Silicon Labs CP210X Driver Installation

4 EVALUATION BOARD USB INTERFACE
The ZIC2410 has two UART interfaces, UART0 and UART1. UART0 is typically used for
general communication purposes, while UART1 is used to interface to the various software
tools (i.e. Device Programmer, etc.). UART1 can also be used for general communication
when not interface to the various software tools. On the evaluation boards either one or
both UARTs are present, when only one UART interface is present it will always be UART1.
The evaluation boards utilize a Serial-to-USB interface chip; as such the UARTs have USB
interfaces. The balance of this document will assume a UART1 connection; however the
procedures for installing drivers, etc. are the same for UART0 when present.
4.1 CONNECTING TO UART1 THROUGH USB
This procedure is written for an evaluation board however it applies to the ZIC2410USB-
WNA, as well. This procedure must be run for each component as it is connected to the
PC and powered on.
4.1.1 Enumerating the USB Drivers
When a n ev alu ati on b oar d or ot her USB com ponen t i s co nne cte d to the PC fo r t he fi rs t ti me and
powered on, the PC will respond that it has detected new hardware. The following is the procedure
for enumerating the new hardware on the PC using the
‘Found New Hardware Wizard’
.
1) First, connect an evaluation board to the PC using a USB cable. Power the
evaluation board by placing the ‘POWER SWITCH’ in the ‘VREG’ or ‘USB’ position.
A LED should illuminate indicating that power has been applied to the evaluation
board. After a few seconds, the screen in Figure 3 should appear.
Figure 3 - Screen, New Hardware Wizard (Installation Method)
2) Either of the two choices given in Figure 4 will correctly instal l the new hardware onto
the PC, but the automatic installation will take more time because it must search for
NOTE: Before connecting an evaluation board to a PC via USB, install the CP210

the driver software. If the CP210x drivers have been installed in the default
destination directory, choose ‘Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)’
and click ‘Next’.
3) In the Please choose your search and installation options dialog, un-check the
‘Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM…)’ and che ck the ‘Include this
location in the search:’ check boxes, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 – Screen, New Hardware Wizard (Choosing to Search for Driver)
4) Click the ‘Browse’ button and navigate to the
C:\SiLabs\MCU\CP210x\Windows_XP_S2K3_Vista_7 directory and click the ‘OK’
button.
5) Upon completing the search field, click the ‘Next’ button.

7) If Windows prompts to reboot the system due to a system settings change, click ‘Yes’
to complete the installation.
8) The hardware drivers for the USB connected ZIC2410 device have now been
successfully enumerated.
4.1.2 Identifying the COM Port for a Component
When a new piece of hardware is connected to the PC via the USB port, the PC assigns that
connection a COM port number. It is necessary to determine the COM port number on the
PC, to which the component has been assigned. The Device Manager utility included with
Windows can be used to do so, and to check that the hardware and associated drivers have
been properly installed. To check which COM port the installed component is connected to,
please follow the following steps.
1) Right-click the mouse on
‘
My Computer
’
either on the desktop or in the
‘Start’
menu.
2) Select
‘
Properties
’
and the
‘
Syst em Prop erti es
’
window in Figure 9 w ill be displayed.
Figure 9 – Screen, Windows (System Properties)
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide
3) In the
‘
System Properties
’
screen, under the
‘Hardware’
tab, click on
‘Device Manager’
.
Double-click on
‘Ports (COM & LPT)'
. The screen in Figure 10 will be displayed
Figure 10 – Screen, Device Manager (1 device connected)
4) On the list of Ports, one of them should read
‘Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge
(COM#)’
. In the example in Figure 10 above, the component is connected to
‘COM5’
.
NOTE: It is important to take note here of the COM port that has been assigned to the component,
as it will be needed later when establishing connections with the various software tools.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide
Rev E Document No. 0005-05-08-11-001 Page 13 of 22
4.1.3 Checking the COM port with Multiple Devices Connected
If connecting several components to a single PC through USB connections it will be
necessary to enumerate the new component as performed in Section 4.1.1. As with a
single component connected, it is necessary to identify the individual COM ports used for
each component. The Device Manager will not distinguish between individual components,
but rather will display identical ‘CP210x USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM#)’ entries
as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11 – Screen, Device Manager (2 devices connected)
If the COM port # for each component was not noted as it was enumerated, the
corresponding COM port assignments can be determined by powering off each component
one-by-one and noting which COM port assignment disappears (after a few seconds).
NOTE: If multiple components have the same COM port assignment (i.e. two components register
as COM4), see Appendix A of this document to set the Device ID of the component to a unique value.

A DEALING WITH COM PORT CONFLICTS
i. Changing the Device ID Number
The
ZIC2410
components which connect to a PC through a USB cable (i.e. evaluation boards) contain
a Cygnal CP2101 Single Chip USB to UART Interface Bridge. All of the Cygnal devices are
manufactured with the same serial number (0001). If you have purchased an evaluation kit, all
components contained in the kit should have had their serial numbers changed to a unique value. In
gener al , the e v al uati o n boards in th e kit h av e s er ial number s of 0001, 00 0 2, 00 03, e tc. , an d th e
ZIC2410USB-WNA
will hav e a s erial number of 00 10.
If the user is running multiple WNA’s from a single PC, or co m bi ni ng b oa r ds f r om m ult i pl e kits a nd
connecting several of them through USB cables simultaneously to the same PC, one or more of the
connected devices may have the same serial number. This may cause communication problems, if
the PC is unable to distinguish them apart. To resolve any conflict, run the following procedure to
discover and/or change the serial number of any of the
ZIC2410
components.
