Addressing Settings
allows you to configure the addressing and routing behavior for the XBee
module in a ZigBee network.
n
Radio Settings
allows you to control the security, sleep mode, and RF serial interfacing for the
XBee RF module.
n
Serial Settings
allows you to configure the serial interfacing parameters for the XBee RF
module. This section appears for remote nodes only. These settings must match the serial
interface for the device attached to the XBee serial port that you are configuring.
n
Input/Output Settings
allows you to configure the I/O parameters for the XBee RF module.
This section appears for remote nodes only. The
I/O Pin Settings
section shows the pin
settings for the XBee RF module. For detailed description of these pin settings, see the
Product
Manual
for the XBee or XBee-PRO RF module in your product.

For the
I/O Pin Settings
, the
Pull-up/down Direction (PD)
parameter appears when the
device supports this feature. If the device has the
Pull-up/down Direction (PD)
parameter,
the title for the fifth table header in the display is
Pull up/down
, otherwise the title is
Pull up
.
Device Status page
The
Device Status
page displays status information for a node. The parameters displayed on the page
vary based on the capabilities supported by the node's XBee module. Common parameters include the
PAN ID, firmware and hardware versions, and the device type identifier. For a detailed description of
these parameters, see the
Xbee/XBee-PRO ZigBee RF Module User Guide
for the XBee or XBee-PRO RF
module in your product. The
Refresh
button refreshes the display of status parameters.
Device Operations page
The
Device Operations
page allows you to perform several tasks on nodes. The operations displayed
depend on the network type and node type.
The
Identify Device
operation causes the node to flash its association LED for a specified amount of
time. Use this operation when locating a node among a large array of nodes. Specify the amount of
time and click
Identify Device
.
The
Reset Device
operation allows you to choose one of the reset device operations for all nodes
except the gateway:
n
Software Reset
: A software reset resets the device. If you modified the scan channels or PAN
ID since the last reset, a network reset occurs. The XBee module performs this operation by
executing the AT command
FR
.
n
Network Reset
: A network reset will cause the device to reset its network configuration
information, reset, and rejoin a network. This operation is performed in the XBee module by
executing the AT command
NR=0
.
CAUTION!
The node may no longer be accessible from this gateway after a
network reset.
The
Backup and Restore Configuration
operation allows you to save a backup file of the XBee
RF module configuration settings for nodes and restore the configuration settings if the need arises.
