2.4. BitCloud Software
2.3.3. External Antenna
For instance, the status of any DIP switch will be ignored when running SerialNet (see
Section 5).DIP switches can be tested when running the Hardware Test application (see
Section 3.7).
MeshBean2 board is equipped with RP-SMA connector to attach an external antenna.
The specifications of external antenna supplied with the Development Kit are presented
below in Table 9.

Number
W1063
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Only the RP-SMA Connector antennas can be used in combination with MeshBean
boards equipped with an RP-SMA connector!
Attach the external antenna through RP-SMA connector before using the board. Match
the antenna’s female coaxial thread with the connector’s male thread.
BitCloud is a full-featured, next generation embedded software stack from MeshNetics.
The stack provides a software development platform for reliable, scalable, and secure
wireless applications running on MeshNetics ZigBit modules. BitCloud is designed to
support a broad ecosystem of user-designed applications addressing diverse
requirements and enabling a full spectrum of software customization.
BitCloud is fully compliant with ZigBee PRO and ZigBee standards for wireless sensing
and control. It provides an augmented set of APIs which, while maintaining 100%
compliance with the standard, offer extended functionality designed with developer's
convenience and ease-of-use in mind.
The topmost of the core stack layers, APS, provides the highest level of networking-
related APIs visible to the application. ZDO provides a set of fully compliant ZigBee Device
Object APIs which enable main network management functionality (start, reset, formation,
join). ZDO also defines ZigBee Device Profile types, device and service discovery
commands implemented by the stack.
This ZDK provides everything a developer would need to develop custom applications
based on the BitCloud API [4]. The general guidelines to BitCloud programming are given
in [5]. API-based demos are provided in source code which can be modified and
extended, making it possible to develop WSN applications for a variety of networking
scenarios. For example, an end device can be configured to communicate with a router
between the periods of sleep thus saving power.
Another configuration of BitCloud Software, SerialNet, enables a user to implement
customized WSN scenarios without developing any WSN application code. In this case
WSN nodes are controlled via AT-commands (see Section 5).
