Automatic DIP switch configurations

IMPORTANT
: To avoid overwriting previously stored custom configurations (due to the automatic configurations that
take place each time the RF modem is powered-on), it is necessary to disable a processor located inside the modem.
To disable the processor, turn switches 5 and 6 ON (up). When switches 5 and 6 are ON, only the CS command is sent
[refer to table below]. The following table shows the User Defined Mode (Switches 5 and 6 are ON (up)).
Use XCTU to configure the RF Modem
XBee Configuration and Test Utility (XCTU) is a multi-platform program that enables developers to interact with Digi
radio frequency (RF) devices through a graphical interface. The application includes built-in tools that make it easy to
set up, configure, and test Digi RF devices.
For instructions on downloading and using XCTU, go to:
http://www.digi.com/products/xbee-rf-solutions/xctu-software/xctu
Refer to the online help for XCTU for more information on the program and how to use it. The help information is
available at:
