ZB2430 TRANSCEIVER MODULE
1
AeroComm’s ZB2430 module is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication standard and the robust ZigBee
networking protocol and is one of the most powerful ZigBee compliant solutions on the market today. The ZB2430
provides OEMs with industry leading 2.4 GHz module performance in low power consumption, easy integration, long
range, and superior features and functionality. Requiring no additional FCC licensing in the Americas, OEMs can
easily make existing systems wireless with little or no RF expertise.

OVERVIEW
The ZB2430 is a member of AeroComm's FlexRF OEM transceiver family. The ZB2430 is a cost effective, high
performance, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transceiver; designed for integration into OEM systems
operating under FCC part 15.247 regulations for the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
To boost data integrity and security, the ZB2430 uses DSSS technology featuring optional Advanced-Encryption
Standards (AES)

. Fully transparent, these transceivers operate seamlessly in serial cable replacement applications.
Communications include both system and configuration data via an asynchronous serial interface for OEM Host
communications. All association and RF system data transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver.
This document contains information about the hardware and software interface between an AeroComm ZB2430
transceiver and an OEM Host. Information includes the theory of operation, specifications, interface definitions,
configuration information and mechanical drawings.
Note: Unless mentioned specifically by name, the ZB2430 modules will be referred to as "radio" or "transceiver".
Individual naming is used to differentiate product specific features. The host (PC/Microcontroller/Any device to which
the ZB2430 module is connected) will be referred to as "OEM Host" or “Host.”
