D.2.1 Additional Reference Information
Check
Digi’s Web site
for the latest information and documentation on the XBee RF module, the
X-CTU utility, and the Digi
®
XBee USB. Note that the XBee
®
and the XBee PRO
®
RF modules
are presently not compatible with the XBeeRF module used with the RCM4510W, but the general
documentation about ZigBee and the use of AT commands for the XBee
®
and the XBee PRO
®
RF
modules is relevant.
