Continue the following steps with the Digi XBee USB connected to your PC’s USB port.
Since the ZigBee Utility
XBEE_GPIO_GUI.exe
will conflict with XCTU, first close the
ZigBee Utility if it is running.
1. Start XCTU from the desktop icon and set the “PC Settings” tab to
11520
baud,
HARDWIRE
flow control,
8
data bits, parity
NONE
,
1
stop bit.
2. On the “PC Settings” tab, check the “Enable API” box under “Host Setup.”
3. On the “PC Settings” tab, select the “USB Serial Port” corresponding to the USB serial
port the Digi XBee USB is connected to and click “Test/Query.” You should see a
response showing the Modem Type (XB 24-B) and the firmware version. Click
OK
.
Note that several USB serial ports could be listed. If you select a serial port without the
Digi XBee USB connected, the XCTU response to “Test/Query.” will be “communica-
tion with modem … OK,” but the modem type will be unknown, and the firmware ver-
sion will be blank.
If you a get a message that XCTU is unable to open the COM port, verify that you
selected the COM port with the “USB Serial Port,” then try unplugging the Digi XBee
USB from the USB slot and plugging it back in. Now click “Test/Query” again.
4. Under the “Modem Configuration” tab click the “Read” button. XCTU will now display
the networking and I/O parameters for the Digi XBee USB being used as the ZigBee
coordinator.
Modem: XBEE XB24-ZB
Function Set: ZIGBEE COORDINATOR API (do not select other settings)
Version: the version of the firmware included with the version of Dynamic C you are using (should be
of the type
21…
)
5. Now set the networking parameters in your project defines or in the sample program to
match the parameters in the Dynamic C
LIB\Rabbit4000\XBee\XBEE_API.LIB
library.
Networking
(D) CH - Operating Channel — this is the operating channel you could see when you ran the
AT_INTERACTIVE.C
sample program in the Dynamic C
SAMPLES\XBEE
folder by enter-
ing the command ATCH <
Enter
>. This channel information cannot be changed from the XCTU
utility.
(0123456789ABCDEF) ID - Extended Pan ID — set the new extended PAN ID that follows 0x to
match the
DEFAULT_EXTPANID
macro.
(1FFE) SC - Scan Channels - set the new value for the channels to scan, E, for example, to match
the new setting in the macro.
#define DEFAULT_CHANNELS 0x000E
6. Finish by clicking the “Write” button.
