Troubleshooting
AES Encryption Key (KY) is a setting that must be set by the user when encryption is in use and
n
does not apply with factory settings.
Device Type Identifier (DD) is a diagnostic parameter which is not used in the operation of the
n
radio and can safely be set to any value.
Basic communication example
The modules are not found in the 'Check the network' step.
Check the Associate LED of ROUTER and END_DEVICE. If it is not blinking, it means that the module is
not joined to the network yet. Wait a few seconds and try again.
If the module that is not found is END_DEVICE, it may be asleep. Press the Commissioning button of
the board where it is plugged in to wake it up and try again.
The text typed in the end device's console is not sent to the coordinator.
END_DEVICE is configured to cyclically sleep for five seconds and be awake for five seconds. It may
have been asleep when you typed in its console, so press the Commissioning button of the XBee Grove
Development Board where it is plugged in to wake it up and try again.
To identify the END_DEVICE module, look for the board where the On/Sleep LED is ON for five seconds
and OFF for another five seconds.

Wireless data transmission

The application does not find the END_DEVICE module in the network.
This usually occurs when the end device is asleep. Press the Commissioning button of the board
where it is attached to wake it up and launch the application again.
To identify the END_DEVICE module, look for the board where the On/Sleep LED is ON for 5 seconds
and OFF for another 5 seconds.
Error: Parsing text error message
If you see the "Error parsing the text..." error when sending a message, this indicates that you typed
the message incorrectly. Remember to follow this pattern when sending a message:
Unicast: NODE_IDENTIFIER: message
n
For example, to send the message "Hi XBee" to XBEE_C:
XBEE_C: Hi XBee
Broadcast: ALL: message
n
For example, to send the message "Hi XBees" to all nodes in the network:
ALL: Hi XBees
Error: Could not find the module in the network
This message indicates that the module attached to your computer could not send the message to
the device whose node identifier is <XXXX>.
Ensure that you typed the node identifier correctly and that it is in the list of devices found by the
application. If it is not there, launch the application again.
When I send a message from END_DEVICE, I get the "Error transmitting message..." message.
This happens when the end device is asleep. Wait until it wakes up or press the Commissioning button
and send the message again.
To identify the END_DEVICE module, look for the board where the On/Sleep LED is ON for 5 seconds
and OFF for another 5 seconds.
