XBee API mode
Example: Transmit and receive data
This section describes how to transmit data to another XBee module using the XCTU console. The
steps include creating a Transmit Request frame with the message you want to transmit to the other
module and sending the frame serially to the local XBee module. You can then analyze the responses,
both in the local and the remote module.
If you get stuck, see Troubleshooting.
Step 1: Configure the XBee modules
Before creating and sending the frame, configure the XBee modules as follows:
Param XBee A
ID
2015
JV
—
CE
Enabled[1]
NI
SENDER
AP
API Enabled
[1]
Step 2: Open the XCTU console
1. Switch to the Consoles working mode
2. Open the serial connection with the radio module
3. Change to the console of the other XBee module.
4. Open the serial connection with the radio module
5.
Step 3: Generate the Transmit Request frame
This topic describes how to generate a Transmit Request frame using the XCTU SENDER console.
