I just purchased an XBee shield from Sparkfun, part number WRL-09841, added some male headers and plugged it into my Arduino. I have two XBee adapters (XB24’s) and when I connect one of them to the shield and power up the Arduino, the DIO5 light just blinks. The XBee modules work fine when connected to my laptop via USB dongle and I am able to program them and send commands from the terminal. I can’t find any indicated as to what a steadily blinking DI05 light means, but it doesn’t seem to bee good.
DOI5 also can be the Associate Indicator (see Table 1.02 in the Digi Document). Also read the section on Association (page 17) and the D5 and the AI command (page 41 & 37).

Thanks for pointing me to the specific sections of the documentation. I discovered that the reason none of my searches were turning up anything is because I was entering DI05 rather than DIO5. I got the XBees talking now.
