ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer V2.0 January 29, 2007

The ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer is a tool that can be used to configure the Microchip Stack for the ZigBee Protocol (see AN965) and the Microchip MiWi Protocol (see AN1066), and to monitor and display wireless network traffic for both protocols. The full version of the ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer software is provided with the purchase of the ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer kit. A demo version, providing stack configuration and analysis of previously saved wireless network traffic, is provided with the Microchip Stacks for the ZigBee Protocol and Microchip MiWi Protocol.

Version 2.0 of the ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer offers the following features. For a full description of its capabilities, refer to the ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer Users Guide.

Create configuration files required for applications utilizing the Microchip Stack for the ZigBee Protocol (AN965).

Create configuration files required for applications utilizing the Microchip MiWi Protocol (AN1066).

(Full version only) Monitor and display wireless network traffic as it appears on the air for both ZigBee and MiWi protocols.

Display previously saved sessions of wireless network traffic monitoring. Filter displayed messages according to specified criteria. Export raw message data for other analysis. Show how messages propagate through the network.

Version 2.0 includes the following changes/enhancements from v1.3: Updated to support the ZCP certified v1.0-3.8 of the Microchip Stack for the ZigBee

Protocol. Added security configuration. Added external non-volatile memory configuration (required for PIC18FJ

support). Added built-in ZigBee protocol configuration file generation for the PIC18F87J10. Updated MiWi configuration file generation to be compatible with the v1.0 release.

Includes support for PIC18 and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers. Added the ability to decrypt secure ZigBee and MiWi protocol messages (network key

and encryption method must selected by the user). NOTE: This feature is not available in the demo and standard releases of the ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer software. The enhanced version of the software may be purchased at www.MicrochipDirect.com for a small fee.

Default output file directory and upper MAC address bytes are retained between sessions.

The Network Traffic Monitor window may be reduced to a toolbar. Added APS-level filtering of ZigBee protocol messages.

Version 1.3 includes the following changes/enhancements from v1.1: Additional parameter generation for compatibility with v1.0-3.6 of the Microchip Stack for

the ZigBee Protocol. MiWi configuration file generation added. Updated MiWi network traffic analysis. Corrected data export problem.

Version 1.1 includes the following changes/enhancements from v1.0: Microchip MRF24J40 and UBEC UZ2400 transceiver support added. The Microchip

MRF24J40 is the default transceiver. Zero length data packets shown correctly in the NCD window. ZigBee Protocol capability information, power descriptor, and node descriptor

generation corrected. Preliminary MiWi protocol support
