XBee transparent mode
XCTU simplifies the configuration of the XBee modules so you don't have to use command mode or AT
commands to configure them. However, you can always configure an XBee module through any serial
port terminal application or the XCTU console.
The following example demonstrates how you can perform some of the configuration steps outlined in
the first lab but via command mode and using AT commands:
1. In the Consoles working mode of XCTU, click the Open the serial connection with the radio
module
2. Use +++ to enter into command mode and wait for an OK response.
3. To set a register, type an AT command followed by the value you want to set; for example, ATID
2015; followed by a Return.
4. To read a register, type an AT command; for example, ATID; followed by a Return.
5. Use the ATWR command to write the new configuration to the module's memory.
6. Exit command mode with the ATCN command.
Note
You should get an OK response after issuing each command to set parameters, write the
changes, or exit from command mode. If not, you most likely took more than 10 seconds to issue the
command and you have dropped out of command mode.
