Plug in The RF Module

1. The document provides instructions for plugging in and configuring XBee modules, including plugging the modules into boards, ensuring the loopback jumper is in the correct position, and uninstalling modules by removing power first. 2. It describes using the XCTU software to configure XBee devices through a graphical interface and configure parameters like device names and API mode. 3. The steps given configure two remote XBee devices to communicate with each other by setting one as the coordinator in API mode and the other as a remote node in either API or transparent mode.

Plug in the XBee3 Module

Follow these steps to connect the XBee devices to the boards included in the kit:
1. Plug one XBee3 Module into the XBee Grove Development Board.

Make sure the board is NOT powered (either by the micro USB or a battery) when
you plug in the XBee module.

For XBee SMT modules, align all XBee pins with the spring header and carefully push the module
until it is hooked to the board.

WARNING! Never insert or remove the XBee device while the power is on!

2. Once the XBee module is plugged into the board (and not before), connect the board to your
computer using the micro USB cables provided.
3. Ensure the loopback jumper is in the UART position.
Unplug an XBee3 RF Module
To disconnect a device from the XBee Grove Development Board:
1. Disconnect the micro USB cable from the board so it is not powered.
2. Remove the device from the board socket, taking care not to bend any of the pins. The surface
mount device uses spring pins rather than a socket and has a rectangular board cutout designed
to help in removing the XBee3 RF Module.

CAUTION! Make sure the board is not powered when you remove the XBee3.

Configure the device using XCTU


XBee Configuration and Test Utility (XCTU) is a multi-platform program that enables users to interact
with Digi radio frequency (RF) devices through a graphical interface. The application includes built-in tools
that make it easy to set up, configure, and test Digi RF devices.
For instructions on downloading and using XCTU, see the XCTU User Guide.

Configure remote devices


You can communicate with remote devices over the air through a corresponding local device.

Note Using API mode on the local device allows you to send remote API commands.

These instructions show you how to configure a remote device parameter on a remote device.
1. Add two XBee devices to XCTU.
2. Load XBee3 DigiMesh 2.4 firmware onto each device if it is not already loaded. See How to
update the firmware of your modules in the XCTU User Guide for more information.
3. Configure the first device in API mode and name it XBEE_A by configuring the following
parameters:
n ID: 2018
n NI: XBEE_A
n AP: API enabled [1]
4. Configure the second device in either API or Transparent mode, and name it XBEE_B by
configuring the following parameters:
n ID: 2018
n NI: XBEE_B
n AP: 0 or 1
