Configure the XBee 3 802.15.4 RF Module
Software libraries
One way to communicate with the XBee 3 802.15.4 RF Module is by using a software library. The
libraries available for use with the XBee 3 802.15.4 RF Module include:
XBee Java library
n
XBee Python library
n
The XBee Java Library is a Java API. The package includes the XBee library, its source code and a
collection of samples that help you develop Java applications to communicate with your XBee devices.
The XBee Python Library is a Python API that dramatically reduces the time to market of XBee
projects developed in Python and facilitates the development of these types of applications, making it
an easy process.
Firmware over-the-air (FOTA) update
The XBee 3 802.15.4 RF Module supports FOTA updates using XCTU version 6.3.0 or higher. For
instructions on performing a FOTA firmware update with XCTU, see
your modules
in the XCTU User Guide.
FOTA capability is only available when MM (Mac Mode) = 0 or 3.

Limitations
There is a limitation on the number of custom defaults that can be set on a device. The number of
defaults that can be set depends on the size of the saved parameters and the devices' firmware
version. When there is no more room for custom defaults to be saved, any command sent immediately
after a %F returns an error.
