    To help reduce noise, we recommend placing a 1.0 µF and 8.2 pF capacitor as near as possible to pin 1 on the XBee. If using a switching regulator for the power supply, switching frequencies above 500 kHz are preferred. Power supply ripple should be limited to a maximum 100 mV peak to peak.

  • Page 13: Transparent Operation

    XBee®/XBee‐PRO®  RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xEx Transparent Operation By default, XBee®/XBee-PRO® RF Modules operate in Transparent Mode. When operating in this mode, the modules act as a serial line replacement - all UART data received through the DI pin is queued up for RF transmission. When RF data is received, the data is sent out the DO pin.

    Slave relationships. This means that modules remain synchronized without use of master/server configurations and each module in the network shares both roles of master and slave. Digi's peer- to-peer architecture features fast synchronization times and fast cold start times. This default con- figuration accommodates a wide range of RF data applications.

  • Page 19: Association

    XBee®/XBee‐PRO®  RF Modules ‐ 802.15.4 ‐ v1.xEx Association Association is the establishment of membership between End Devices and a Coordinator. The establishment of membership is useful in scenarios that require a central unit (Coordinator) to relay messages to or gather data from several remote units (End Devices), assign channels or assign PAN IDs.
