    The following figure shows a typical wireless link between DTE and DCE devices: RS-485 (2-wire) operation Note that with the RS-485 variant of the XBee-PRO 900HP RF Modem, the RF Modem is defaulted with the D7 command (AT parameter) to 7. This parameter controls the TX enable signal and allows the modem to output any data in the DO buffer to the host device for the RS-485 interface.

    The RS-485/422 protocol provides a solution for wired communications that can tolerate high noise and push signals over long cable lengths. RS-485/422 signals can communicate as far as 4000 feet (1200 m). RS-232 signals are suitable for cable distances up to 100 feet (30.5 m). XBee-PRO 900HP RF Modem User Guide...

USB operation Note that when a Mini-USB cable is plugged into the XBee-PRO 900HP RF Modem, communication to and from the RS-232 interface and the RS-485/422 is halted. USB communications take precedence over all other interfaces when you plug it in.
