ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS
1 Introduction
This document describes the Telegesis ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS ZigBee long range
modules which have been designed to be easily integrated into another device and to provide a fast,
simple and low cost wireless mesh networking interface.
The Telegesis ETRX3 series modules are based on the Ember ZigBee platform consisting of the
single chip EM351 or EM357 combined with the ZigBee PRO compliant EmberZNet meshing stack.
Integration into a wide range of applications is made easy using a simple AT style command interface
and advanced hardware design.
The configurable functionality of the Telegesis AT Commandset often allows the ETRX3 series
ZigBee modules to be used without an additional host microcontroller saving even more integration
time and costs. In addition to the Telegesis AT Commandset, the ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357LRS modules can be used with custom-built firmware and they represent an ideal platform for custom
firmware development in conjunction with the Ember development kits. The ETRX3 series shares
the same R3xx Telegesis firmware as the ETRX2 and the two devices can be used in the same
network.
No RF experience or expertise is required to add this powerful wireless networking capability to your
products. The ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS offer fast integration opportunities and the
shortest possible time to market for your product.
1.1
Hardware Description
The main building blocks of the ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS are the single chip EM351 and
EM357 from Ember, a SiGe SE2432L frontend module combining a Power Amplifier with a Low
Noise Amplifier, a 24MHz reference crystal and RF front-end circuitry optimized for best RF
performance. The modules are available with on-board antenna or alternatively a U.FL connector
for attaching external antennae. Modules with the U.FL connector are identified by the “HR” suffix.
The LNA and RF power amplifier of the LRS devices improve the output power by 12dB and the
sensitivity by 5dB which will increase the range by approximately 700% relative to the standard
devices (where local regulations permit the use of the maximum output power).
The integrated antenna is an Antenova Rufa, and details of the radiation pattern etc are available
from the Antenova website [5].

The ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS are used for ZigBee (www.zigbee.org) applications. If you
wish to create your own custom firmware, and not use the pre-loaded Telegesis AT-Command
interface, you will need the InSight toolchain, consisting of InSight Desktop™ together with a
comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) and C-language compiler toolchain from
Ember. The Ember development environment is not suitable for an 802.15.4-only application that
does not use the ZigBee layer.

ETRX35x-LRS Product Manual (Rev 1.08)
ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that
are not expressly approved by Telegesis (UK) Ltd. may void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
When using the ETRX351HR-LRS and ETRX357HR-LRS with approved antennae, it is required to
prevent end-users from replacing them with non-approved ones. FCC Labelling Requirements
When integrating the ETRX351-LRS, ETRX357-LRS, ETRX351HR-LRS and ETRX357HR-LRS into
a product if must be ensured that the FCC labelling requirements are met. This includes a clearly
visible label on the outside of the finished product specifying the Telegesis FCC identifier (FCC ID:
S4GEM35XB) as well as the notice above. This exterior label can use wording such as “Contains
Transmitter Module FCC ID: S4GEM35XB” or “Contains FCC ID: S4GEM35XB” although any
similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
2.2
IC (Industry Canada) Approvals
The Telegesis ETRX351-LRS, ETRX357-LRS, ETRX351HR-LRS and ETRX357HR-LRS modules
have been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed in Table 2 with
the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna
of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
To comply with Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation
distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times
and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in Table 2, and having a
maximum gain of 2.0 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 2.0
dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50
ohms.
The labelling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. Again a clearly
visible label must be placed on the outside of the finished product stating something like “Contains

2.9
The ZigBee Protocol
The ZigBee Protocol is a set of standards for wireless connectivity for use between any devices over
short to medium distances. The specification was originally ratified in December 2004, paving the
way for companies to start making low-power networks a reality.
ZigBee uses an IEEE 802.15.4 radio specification running on the 2.4GHz band, plus three additional
layers for networking, security and applications. What makes the specification unique is its use of a
mesh network architecture which, in bucket chain style, passes data from one node to the next until
it lands at its destination. The network is self-healing and adapts its routing as link quality changes
or nodes move. Furthermore, nodes can be defined as End Devices which do not act as routers,
but can therefore be put into a low-power sleep state.
The enhanced version of the ZigBee standard (or ZigBee 2006) was released in December 2006,
adding new features and improvements to the only global wireless communication standard enabling
the development of easily deployable low-cost, low-power, monitoring and control products for
homes, commercial buildings and industrial plant monitoring. In 2007 the ZigBee Alliance introduced
the PRO feature-set which offers advantages over earlier feature-sets, including
Truly self healing mesh networking
Messages can now travel up to 30 hops
Source-Routing for improved point to multipoint message transmission
Improved security including Trust-Centre link keys
New message types and options
The Telegesis AT Command-set, which by default ships on all ETRX3 series products is based on
the ZigBee PRO feature-set. For more information on the Telegesis AT Command-set please refer
to the separate documentation at www.silabs.com/telegesisdocuments.

Notes:
{1} When the alternate GPIO function is selected, TX_ACTIVE becomes an output that indicates that the
EM35x radio transceiver is in transmit mode. PC5 must not be used in this mode as it is needed
internally as TX_ACTIVE to control the external RF front end and power amplifier. PB0 is not available
to the user.
{2} The serial UART connections TXD, RXD, CTS and RTS are PB1, PB2, PB3 and PB4 respectively.
The device sends its data on TXD and receives on RXD.
{3} When using the Telegesis AT Command-set, RTS/CTS handshaking is selectable in firmware. See
the AT Command Manual.
{4} If PA5 is driven low at power-up or reset the module will boot up in the bootloader
{5} PA6, PA7, PB6, PB7 and PC0 can drive high current (see section 9)
{6} nRESET is level-sensitive, not edge-sensitive. The module is held in the reset state while nRESET is
low
Alternate functions depend on the firmware, but the Telegesis R3xx AT Command-set functions are
indicated here for convenience.
Important Note: The ETRX35x series and the ETRX35x-LRS series of modules are footprint
compatible, but on the ETRX35x-LRS series pins PB0 and PC5 of the EM357 are used internally to
control the front-end module and are not available to the user. PC5 is still available on Pad2, but it
is configured as TX_ACTIVE signal and cannot be used as a general purpose GPIO.

The ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS are based on the Ember EM351 and EM357 respectively in
addition to a frontend module containing a PA, LNA and RF switch in addition to the RF-Frontend.
The EM351 and EM357 are fully integrated 2.4GHz ZigBee transceivers with a 32-bit ARM® Cortex
M3TM microprocessor, flash and RAM memory, and peripherals.
The industry standard serial wire and JTAG programming and debugging interfaces together with
the standard ARM system debug components help to streamline any custom software development.
In addition to this a number of MAC functions are also implemented in hardware to help maintain the
strict timing requirements imposed by the ZigBee and IEEE802.15.4 standards.
The new advanced power management features allow faster wakeup from sleep and new powerdown modes allow this 3rd generation module to offer a longer battery life than any 2nd generation
modules on the market.
The EM35x has fully integrated voltage regulators for both required 1.8V and 1.25V supply voltages.
The voltages are monitored (brown-out detection) and the built in power-on-reset circuit eliminates
the need for any external monitoring circuitry. A 32.768kHz watch crystal can be connected
externally to pads 3 and 4 in case more accurate timing is required.
4.1
Hardware Interface
All GPIO pins of the EM351 or EM357 except PB0 and PC5 are accessible on the module’s pads.
Whether signals are used as general purpose I/Os, or assigned to a peripheral function like ADC is
set by the firmware. When using the Telegesis AT Command-set please refer to the AT Commandset manual for this information and when developing custom firmware please refer to the EM35x
datasheet.

ETRX35x-LRS Product Manual (Rev 1.08)
ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS
5 Firmware Description
The modules will be pre-loaded with a standalone bootloader by Ember, which supports over-the-air
bootloading as well as serial bootloading of new firmware.
In order to enter the standalone bootloader using a hardware trigger pull PA5 to ground and powercycle or reset the module. To avoid entering the standalone bootloader unintentionally make sure
not to pull this pin down during boot-up unless the resistance to ground is >10kΩ. A pull-up is not
required).
In addition to the standalone bootloader the modules also contain the current release of the
Telegesis AT-style command interface as described in the Telegesis AT command dictionary and
the Telegesis user guide. Check www.silabs.com/telegesisdocuments for updates. Each module
comes with a unique 64-bit 802.15.4 identifier which is stored in non-volatile memory. The
commands and responses pass through the serial port of the ETRX35x-LRS as ASCII text, so a
simple terminal application will usually suffice. Telegesis Terminal is provided as a development
tool, but it is not an essential feature.
The pre-loaded AT-style command interface firmware is based on the latest EmberZNet meshing
stack which implements routers/coordinators as well as (sleepy) end devices. [End devices have no
routing responsibility and therefore are allowed to go to sleep, whilst still being able to send and
receive messages via a parent router. In addition to a classical (sleepy) end device the module
firmware also supports mobile (sleepy) end devices capable of changing their parent quickly
whenever they change their position within the network.]
A router is typically a mains powered device whilst a sleepy end device (SED) can be battery
powered.
The module is also able to act as a PAN coordinator and Trust Centre through external host control.
The AT style command line supplies all the tools required to set up and manage a ZigBee network
by allowing easy access to the low-level functionality of the stack.
The Telegesis firmware uses the meshing and self healing EmberZNet PRO stack to overcome
many of the limitations of the tree network topology of the ZigBee 2006 stack by using the ZigBee
PRO feature-set.
The Telegesis firmware also allows low-level access to physical parameters such as radio channel
and power level. Parameters that define the functionality of the ETRX35x-LRS module and also
allow standalone functionality are saved in non-volatile memory organised in so-called S-Registers.
The SPI and I2C buses are not supported by the current firmware release, but can be used with
custom firmware.

Custom Firmware
For high volume customers the firmware can be customised on request. Customers can use the
ETRX35x-LRS module as hardware only and develop application specific firmware based on the
EmberZNet stack. In order to develop custom firmware the Ember Insight tool-chain is required.
When writing firmware for the ETRX357-LRS it is important to ensure that pins PB0 and PC5 are
correctly configured in order that the RF front-end module can operate correctly. An application note
“Writing customised firmware for the ETRX35x-LRS” can be downloaded from
www.silabs.com/telegesisdocuments.
5.3
Boost Mode vs. Normal Mode
The Ember EM35x chips support a “boost mode” power setting next to the “normal mode” power
setting. The “boost mode” setting increases the sensitivity and output power of the radio transceiver,
however with the LRS variants enabling boost mode has no positive effect on neither the output
power nor the sensitivity and therefore it is recommended to not use boost mode on this platform.
The Telegesis AT Command-set firmware automatically disables boost mode on LRS series
modules.
Section 11.2 lists the requirements for power settings for use of the LRS family in different countries.

Software Interface
Using the default firmware the ETRX35x-LR is controlled using a simple AT-style command interface
and (mostly) non-volatile S-Registers. In order to get a full listing of all the available AT-Commands,
please refer to the AT command dictionary document which corresponds to the firmware revision
you intend to use.
In addition to the command dictionary there are user guides explaining the features of the firmware
in more detail. If you need to find out which firmware resides on your module simply type “ATI”
followed by a carriage return and you will be prompted with the module’s manufacturing information.
The Development Kit manual describes how to upgrade the firmware either via a serial link or over
the air.

11.2 Power Settings for Regulatory Compliance
Because of the high gain of the frontend module output power of up to 22dBm can be achieved
When the antenna gain is included the output power of the EM35x transceivers needs to be
reduced for regulatory compliance. The following tables list the maximum permitted power setting
for the antenna types listed in Table 2. Note that this is the power out of the EM357 chip (set in
register S01 when using Telegesis R3xx firmware), and the power delivered to the antenna will be
higher by the gain of the RF power amplifier.

For ideal RF performance when using the on-board antenna, the antenna should be located at the
corner of the carrier PCB. There should be no components, tracks or copper planes in the “keepout” area which should be as large as possible. When using the U.FL RF connector the “keep-out”
area does not have to be kept. NB: The modules’ transmit/receive range will depend on the antenna
used and also the housing of the finished product.

module and the host board.
Please Note:
Maximum number of reflow cycles: 2
Opposite-side reflow is prohibited due to the module’s weight. (i.e. you must not place the

ETRX35x-LRS Product Manual (Rev 1.08)
ETRX351-LRS and ETRX357-LRS
15 Recommended Footprint
In order to surface mount an ETRX3 series module, we recommend that you use pads which are
1mm wide and 1.2mm high. Unless using the “HR” variants the “keep-out” zone shown in section 12
must be retained, and it must be ensured that this area is free of copper tracks and/or copper
planes/layers.
You must also ensure that there is no exposed copper on your layout which may contact with the
underside of the ETRX3 series module.
For best RF performance it is required to provide good ground connections to the ground pads of
the module. It is recommended to use multiple vias between each ground pad and a solid ground
plane to minimize inductivity in the ground path.
Figure 11. Recommended Footprint
The land pattern dimensions above serve as a guideline.
We recommend that you use the same pad dimensions for the solder paste screen as you have for
the copper pads. However these sizes and shapes may need to be varied depending on your
soldering processes and your individual production standards. We recommend a paste screen
thickness of 120μm to 150μm.
Figure 8 shows the typical pad dimensions of the module and Figure 12 - Figure 14 in section 15.1
show examples of how to align the module on its host PCB.
Although the undersides of the ETRX3 series modules are fully coated, no exposed copper, such as
through-hole vias, planes or tracks on your board component layer, should be located below the
ETRX3 series module in order to avoid ‘shorts’. All ETRX3 series modules use a multilayer PCB
containing an inner RF shielding ground plane, therefore there is no need to have an additional
copper plane directly under the ETRX3 series module.

15.2 Example carrier board
Since the RF performance of the module with the on board antenna is strongly dependent on the
proper location of the module on its carrier board. Figure 15 shows the reference carrier board which
was used during testing by Telegesis.
Figure 15. Reference Board
For best performance it is recommended to locate the antenna towards the corner of the carrier
board and to respect the recommended keep-out areas as described in section 12.
Finally to provide a good reference ground to the on board antenna, the carrier board should have
a ground plane spanning no less than 40 x 40mm. In many cases a smaller ground plane will suffice,
but a degradation in radio performance could be the result.
