Set up and perform a range test

This section shows you how to set up two XBee modules to perform a range test, which demonstrates
the real-world RF range and link quality between two XBee modules in the same network. Performing
a range test gives an initial indication of the expected communication performance of the kit
components. When deploying an actual network, perform multiple range tests to analyze varying
conditions in your application.
Configure the devices for a range test
For devices to communicate with each other, you configure them so they are in the same network.
You also set the local device to API mode to obtain all possible data of the remote device.
