should be configured correctly. You can configure the XBee module by X-CTU 

tool, or by AT commands via a serial terminal. This document will introduce how 

to use X-CUT tool to configure XBee merely. 

5)  Click the button 

Test/Query

 to test whether the software is connected to the 

XBee  module  properly.  Normally,  we  will  see  the  dialog  box  popped  out,  as 

figure shows below. If it cannot communicate with the XBee module but all the 

communication parameters are set correctly, please check the USB connection 

and  the  jumper  settings  on  the  Arduino  development  board  and  the  XBee 

module.   

 

 

6)  After  a  successful  test,  select  the  option 

Modem  Configuration

.  Then,  click 

the button 

Read

 to get the current parameters of the XBee module.
