For this example, we assume that the hardware uses the default serial settings: 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Configuring the serial I/O
To configure the serial I/O:
1. On the
XBee Configuration
page in the XBee Industrial Gateway web interface, in the
Remote
XBee Devices
list, click a node under
Remote XBee Devices
. The XBee Configuration settings
for the node appear.
2. Click
Serial Settings
. These settings configure the serial connection between the XBee node
and attached hardware, that is, XBee pin 2 (DOUT) and pin 3 (DIN).
Note that the
CTS Flow Control (D7)
and
RTS Flow Control (D6)
and any changes to them are
also displayed on the I/O Pin Settings page under
DIO6
and
DIO7
.
3. Make sure the serial settings displayed match those the hardware attached to the XBee node
through the serial port.
4. If changes are required, click
Apply
to save your changes. Note that the examples shown in
this task use the default serial settings. If the default serial settings match the hardware
connected to the XBee node, you can leave the page as-is.
Explore digital and analog I/O
If your want your XBee nodes to transmit digital or analog data, you must configure the XBee nodes
for your ZigBee network to transmit digital or analog I/O.
If you are unfamiliar with I/O configuration, the following resources will help you understand key
