6. If the XBee node does not appear in the
Remote XBee Devices
table, use XCTU to view the
AI
(
Association Indicator
) for the node.
The Association Indicator is located under the Diagnostic Commands settings for the node. The
Association Indicator
shows the node’s current association status, which points to the reason
the node is not connecting to the coordinator. There are several possible values for the
Association Indicator
, all described in the
XBee/XBee-PRO ZigBee RF Modules User Guide
(Digi
part number 90000976). This document is available from the
page. A value of 0 means the node has successfully joined or started a network.
The following image shows an example of an
Association indicator

Configure the ZigBee network addressing parameters for XBee
nodes
This section describes how to configure the ZigBee network addressing parameters for your XBee
nodes.
If you are unfamiliar with XBee networks, see
XBee/XBee-PRO ZigBee RF Modules User Guide
for
information about the key concepts.
Key addressing parameters
XBee RF modules have many parameters. In many cases, the default setting for a parameter is
sufficient. For successful transmission of data from XBee nodes and use with the XBee Industrial
Gateway Python application, there are several key addressing parameters that must be set on XBee
nodes:
n
Destination Address
(
DH/DL
): These parameters set the high and low portions of the
destination address for data.
n
ZigBee Destination Endpoint
(
DE
): This parameter sets the ZigBee Destination Endpoint. The
Python application running on XBee Industrial Gateway that interacts with XBee nodes
assumes a Destination Endpoint of
0xe8
.
n
ZigBee Cluster ID
(
Cl
): Sets the ZigBee Cluster ID. The Python application running on XBee
Industrial Gateway that interacts with XBee nodes assumes a ZigBee Cluster ID of
0x11
.
