activities to error out.
Note
In firmware versions ending in *16 and earlier, sending an SMS did not wake the cellular
component.
Mobile-terminated activity
While the cellular component is in the PSM "dormant" state, the device is not reachable over the
network, and mobile-terminated traffic such as SMS or IP connections will not trigger it to wake up.
Additional activities
Additional activities which will trigger the cellular component to wake up from PSM include:
Creating a TCP or TLS connection. This includes the connection implicitly created when using
n
transparent mode or TX IPv4 API frames, as well as explicit connections like a
API
frame, or calling connect(...) on a MicroPython socket or using a MicroPython library
which does so.
Creating a TCP "listener" socket.
n
Sending a UDP datagram.
n
Binding a UDP socket to a specific port.
n
Performing a DNS lookup request using ATLA, or socket.getaddrinfo(...) in
n
MicroPython.
Using MicroPython to upload datapoints to Digi Remote Manager.

XBee 3 cellular device features that periodically wake up the cellular component
Features of the XBee 3 Cellular device which will automatically wake up the cellular component on a
periodic basis include:
Digi Remote Manager status checks. See

checks.
Upload of health metrics to Digi Remote Manager. See

XBee 3 cellular device features that continually wake up the cellular component
Features of the XBee 3 Cellular device that continually wake up the cellular component do not take
advantage of power savings and should not be used in combination with PSM.
Features that continually wake up the cellular component include:
Persistent TCP connection to Digi Remote Manager (if bit 0

XBee sleep features (Pin Sleep or Cyclic Sleep) and the PSM feature
You can use XBee sleep features (such as Pin Sleep or Cyclic Sleep) when the PSM feature is enabled.
The sections below explain how they work together.
XBee sleep features (such as Pin Sleep or Cyclic Sleep) do not immediately put the cellular
n
component into its PSM state. When PSM is enabled, during XBee sleep the cellular component
continues to be powered so that it can manage the PSM active and tracking area timers and
