time you've used your XBee, you can
leave those settings alone
. So make sure those values look just as they do in the image above
and
click Finish
.
A "
Discovering radio modules...
" window will briefly scroll by, after which you should be presented with the original window, but with an
addition to the "Radio Modules" section on the left. (If X-CTU failed to find a module, check out our
.)
Click that new module
, and wait a few seconds as X-CTU reads the configuration settings of your XBee. You should then be presented
with the entire configuration of your XBee. The image below shows an XBee Series 1 connected to the XCTU.
As you can see by scrolling down the right half, there are
a lot
of configuration settings available. We'll get to some of those later. For
now, though, verify that the configurable settings visible in the screenshot above match those of your XBee:
Channel
= C
PAN ID
= 3332
DH
= 0
DL
= 0
MY
= 0
If your are using the XBee Series 3, you will need to follow the next section to configure the firmware for the 802.15.4 protocol (a.k.a.
Series 1)!
