Configure Xbee in API Mode (Program Modem to AT Mode)

Wireless & IoT
1

Hello All,

I have configured Xbee in API Mode.

PC : WIN XP SP3

XCTU : 5.3.8.6

Baud rate : 9600

COM Port : Serial COM1

“Test/Query” : OK

I am not able to Configure it with XCTU

Read/Write Modem : Failed to enter command mode

Error : Action Required Dialogue doesn’t disappear.

I want to change modem configuration & Program it with AT Mode.

Can you please help ?

Regards,

Vijay

Which XBee adapter board are you using? Give a link to the board so we know exactly which one you have.

Many do not work properly for updating XBee firmware since they do not have a RESET.

Search for “XBee firmware update” and “XBee Bricked” for more info of the issue and fixes.

This is really a duplicate post:

which you did not answer the questions asked.

Hello Again,

I have checked again with another Xbee Base Module.

Test/Query is ok.

XCTU shows COORDINATOR AT Version - 1020 & ROUTER AT Version - 1220 in Modem Config

Reading Module parameters gives OK result in XCTU.

But, doesn’t show Modem Type,Function Set & Version.

Writing any value gives error : Getting modem type…OK

Programming modem…Lost communication with modem

Write Parameters…Failed.

Also, Terminal shows - Echo for any typed char.

Interesting info is that :

For 1st Xbee => LED Blinks 2 times per second (I think its Router)

For 2nd Xbee => LED Blinks 1 time per second (I think its Coordinator)

What can i check for communication in this 2 Xbee ?
