Background

The Manufacturer Name and Model Identifier attributes are members of the the ZCL Basic Cluster (0x0000). Users may wish to modify these attributes for the purpose of demonstrations.

For example, instead of the Manufacturer name being 'MMB Research', a user could edit this value to be 'Acme Corporation'.

Overview

The sections gives a brief overview of the ManufacturerName and ModelIdentifier attributes.

Manufacturer Name

The ManufacturerName attribute is a maximum of 32 bytes in length and specifies the name of the manufacturer of the device as a ZigBee character string.

Model Identifier

The ModelIdentifier attribute is a maximum of 32 bytes in length and specifies the model number (or other identifier) assigned by the manufacturer of the device as a ZigBee character string.

By default these attributes will have the following values:

Manufacturer Name: 'MMB Research'

Hex Value(MSB): 68 63 72 61 65 73 65 52 20 42 4D 4D 0C

Hex Value(LSB): 0C 4D 4D 42 20 52 65 73 65 61 72 63 68

Model Identifier: 'RapidHA'

Hex Value(MSB): 41 48 64 69 70 61 52 01

Hex Value(LSB): 07 52 61 70 69 64 48 41

The guide below will take you through the steps required to modify these attributes

Guide

The ManufacturerName and ModelIdentifier attributes are read-only attributes and can therefore not be modified by over-the-air commands. The RapidHA Serial Protocol, upon which the RapidConnect Lighting & Sensors firmware is built allows the user to send a serial command to modify these values; the Attribute Write Command (PH:0x03, SH:0x25) can be found in the RapidHA v1.7 Serial Protocol - Frame Payload Definitions.

Follow the steps below, using the RapidConnect Desktop to modify the attributes.

Connect Device

Connect the RapidConnect Lighting & Sensor Device to the computer and open a new instance of the RapidConnect Desktop. If you have already an instance of the desktop open and interfacing with the Lighting & Sensors device already, use this instance.
