router, coordinator, or end device. Uncomment the line corresponding to the role the
BL4S100/Bl4S150 will have once it is running the sample program. The default in the
sample programs is for the BL4S100/Bl4S150 to be a router.

match your XBee's firmware.

NOTE:
Remember that the firmware loaded to the XBee RF module is different depend-
ing on whether the BL4S100/BL4S150 is a router (default), an end device, or a coordi-
nator. See
Appendix F, “Additional Configuration Instructions,”
for information
on how to download firmware to the
BL4S100/BL4S150
to set it up as a coordina-
tor or to resume its original configuration as a router.

be included as part of the program code, or they may be put into the Program Options
“Defines” on the “Defines” tab in the

menu.
