... API Mode When operating in Transparent Mode, the ZB2430 can act as a direct serial cable replacement in which received RF data is forwarded over the serial interface and vice versa. Additionally, many parameters can be configured using either AT commands or by toggling the Command/Data pin on the transceiver. In transparent mode, the radio needs to be programmed with the Network Address of the desired recipient ...

... Power down modes allow the ZB2430 to operate at minimum current consumption while not in use. The ZB2430 provides two such modes (End Devices only). • Cyclic Sleep (Wake periodically based on software-controlled timer or pin interupt) • Deep Sleep (Wake on pin interrupt) In order for a module to transition into Sleep mode, the Sleep_Int pin (pin 12) must be logic High or floating. If this pin is pulled Low, the device will be forced out of Sleep mode and will not be allowed to Sleep until the pin returns to the High state ...
