Step 3: Configure the Xbee modules

Configure each of the three XBee modules to work in API mode and assign each a different role. As
mentioned before, in this case you don't need to configure the destination address (DH + DL) of the
modules.
1. Restore the default settings of all XBees with the Load default firmware settings
at the top of the Radio Configuration section.
2. Use XCTU to configure the following parameters:
Param XBee A
ID 2015
JV —
CE Enabled
[1]
NI COORD ROUTER END_
AP API
enabled
[1]
SP 1F4
SM —

3. Write the settings of all XBees with the Write radio settings button at the top of the Radio
Configuration section.

Step 4: Create a Java project

Create an empty Java project using Eclipse or NetBeans with the following project name:
XBeeTransmitDataCoord.
XBee® Zigbee® Mesh Kit
XBee B XBee C Effect

parameter must be the same for all radios on your
network.
