Configure the XBee Cellular Modem using Digi Remote Manager
Update the firmware
XBee Cellular Modem supports Remote Manager firmware updates. To perform a firmware update:
1. Download the updated firmware file for your device from
containing .ebin and .mxi files for import.
2. Unzip the file.
3. In your Remote Manager account, click Device Management > Devices.
4. Select the first device you want to update.
5. To select multiple devices (must be of the same type), press the Control key and select
additional devices.
6. Click More in the Devices toolbar and select Update Firmware from the Update category of
the More menu. The Update Firmware dialog appears.
7. Click Browse to select the .ebin file that you unzipped earlier.
8. Click Update Firmware. The updated devices automatically reboot when the updates are
complete.
Update the firmware using web services
Remote Manager supports both synchronous and asynchronous firmware update using web services.
The following examples show how to perform an asynchronous firmware update. See the Remote
Manager
documentation
Note
You must use XCTU to update the cellular component's firmware.
1. Download the updated firmware file for your device from
containing .ebin and .mxi files for import.
2. Unzip the file and locate the .ebin inside the unzipped directory.
3. Send an HTTP SCI request to Remote Manager with the contents of the .ebin file converted to
base64 data; see the following example.
Example: update the XBee firmware synchronously with Python 3.0
import base64
import requests
# Location of firmware image
firmware_path = 'XBXC.ebin'
# Remote Manager device ID of the device being updated
device_id = '00010000-00000000-03526130-70153378'
# Remote Manager username and password
username = "my_Remote_manager_username"
password = "my_remote_manager_password"
