Hi I am working with the NI 9792 programmable Gateway and I want to know if its possible to connect third party end nodes such as DIGI INTERNATIONAL zigbee modules .I wonder if there is a driver that allows the NI 9792 to recognized other modules different from NI WSN nodes.
Secondly, I try to access to the WSN sub VI to understand how we can get raw data from a end node but it ask´s for a password, I did this to understand how NI get the data from it´s WSN ZIGBEE end nodes
Please help,
Thanks

Hi Michael,
I’m afraid 3rd party zigbee modules are not compatible. If the 3rd party modules possess different communication methods (standard protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, etc..) you can use those channels to send data to the node using the Gateway.
About the second question, I believe this white paper can take you on the right direction: The LabVIEW Wireless Sensor Network Module - Under the Hood.

Hi Alejandro
Thanks for your answer, it is kind of weird that NI made such a limited tool. I think that there is a chance becuase the hardware supports the IEEE 802.15.4, which means that the limitation must be on the software and that could be solved by having the opportunity to access to the lower layer of the system. I dont know but there should exist that capability beacuse some other third party companies made advances on doing some drivers with the NI 9792, I would appreciate if someone could help us bypassing this software limitation. I want to know if someone could help us on how to acces maybe to the antenna interface just to adquire raw data from external DIGI zigbee modules,
Thanks again
Michael
