ZigBee test procedure

[dan_the_man]

Ionics makes a plug variant called Stratus which is available with Zwave and ZigBee radio options.
Here's a simple procedure to tell if the ZigBee radio is installed and working, no software needed:

1. Define the plug port /dev/ttyUSB0 to be 19200/8/N/1 as follows:
debian:~# stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -raw ispeed 19200 ospeed 19200

2. Redirect output from the ZigBee module to the console terminal as follows:
debian:~# cat < /dev/ttyUSB0 &

3. Now send the "AT" commands as follows:
debian:~# echo "ATZ" > /dev/ttyUSB0
debian:~# echo "ATI" > /dev/ttyUSB0

That's it! 

The Stratus plug uses an ETRX2 ZigBee module from Telegesis, based on an EM250 chip from Ember.
The module interprets “AT” modem style commands documented here:  http://www.telegesis.com/downloads/general/TG-ETRXn-R303-Commands.pdf

I just got a guru plug server, and would like to do some zigbee/zwave development. 
I followed these instructions, and there is no ttyUSB0 device, or any kind. 
I could have ordered the wrong thing, but didn't know what I was ordering. 
My question is how do I get zwave and zigbee on my device? 
Also, where is the documentation for developing for these devices.

Thank you very much for this post! I just bought a Stratus PlugComputer and was wondering how to deal with the ZigBee interface as no documentation about it came with the Stratus.
