Page 7: Rf Module Operation
2. RF Module Operation 2.1. Serial Communications The XBee/XBee-PRO OEM RF Modules interface to a host device through a logic-level asynchro- nous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can communicate with any logic and voltage compatible UART; or through a level translator to any serial device (For example: RS-232/485/ 422 or USB interface board). -
Page 8: Flow Control
XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.1.2. Flow Control Figure 2‐03. Internal Data Flow Diagram DI (Data In) Buffer When serial data enters the RF module through the DI Pin, the data is stored in the DI Buffer until it can be transmitted. When the RO (Packetization Timeout) parameter threshold is satisfied [refer to RO command description for more information], the module attempts to initialize an RF connection. -
Page 9: Modes Of Operation
XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.2. Modes of Operation XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules operate in five modes. Figure 2‐04. XBee/XBee‐PRO RF Module Modes of Operation (The RF Modules operate in one mode at a time.) When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF mod- ule is in Idle Mode. The RF module shifts into the other modes of operation under the following conditions: •... - Page 10 XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 Pin Doze (SM = 2) • Pin/Host-controlled • Typical power-down current: < 50 µA • Wake-up time: 2 msec Use this mode to wake a sleeping module by asserting SLEEP. This pin-controlled Sleep Mode min- imizes wake-up time. Pin Doze Mode is level-activated; when the SLEEP is de-asserted, the module will finish any trans- mitting or receiving activities, enter Idle Mode and then enter the sleep state.

Page 11: Command Mode
XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.2.2. Command Mode To modify or read RF Module parameters, the module must first enter into Command Mode - a state in which incoming characters are interpreted as commands. A robust set of AT Commands are available for programming and customizing the module. -
Page 12: Networking Modes
XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.3. Networking Modes Before transmitting data over-the-air, the RF module will first undergo CCA (Clear Channel Assess- ment). If the CCA fails, the packet will not be transmitted. 2.3.1. Addressing Overview Packets can be sent and received using a 16-bit or a 64-bit address (802.15.4 protocol). A unique 64-bit IEEE source address is assigned at the factory and can be read with the SL (Serial Number Low) and SH (Serial Number High) parameters. -
Page 13: Rf Module Configuration
Setup The programming examples in this section require the installation of MaxStream's X-CTU Soft- ware and a serial connection to a PC. (MaxStream stocks RS-232 and USB boards to facilitate interfacing to a PC.) Install MaxStream's X-CTU Software to a PC by double-clicking the "setup_X-CTU.exe" file. -
