Digi XBee Industrial Gateway 64
Receive serial data from Remote Manager
In some scenarios, you can attach an XBee module to a microcontroller that can manage the radio
module, configure it, process data reported by the module, and execute actions. In those cases, the
combination of XBee module and microcontroller can use a custom communications protocol
transmitted wirelessly from an XBee network node to the target XBee node, and via serial from the
target XBee node to the microcontroller to which it is attached.
The XBee Industrial Gateway Python application allows sending a serial data packet through Remote
Manager, using the Web Services API, to a specific XBee module or all XBee modules in the network
that will be transmitted through its serial interface. That serial packet can contain any data, including
the custom protocol that your XBee module and microcontroller use to communicate between them.
The following figure demonstrates the process for receiving serial data from Remote Manager.
To send serial data to one of the XBee nodes on your network through Remote Manager, you need to
use the Remote Manager Web Services API. In this case, you need to send a
POST command
containing a Server Command Interface (SCI) request to Remote Manager. The SCI request in turn
contains a Remote Command Interface (RCI)
do_command element, with xbgw as target attribute
and the send_serial command as content. To learn more about SCI requests, the RCI protocol, and
the Web Services API, see the Digi Remote Manager Programmer Guide .
