Xbee not communicating with each other (with Arduino & Arduino shield)

Hi, I’m working on making 2 Arduinos communicating with each other with XBees. But currently having problems. Hardware: 2x Arduino Uno 2x Arduino shields ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/22131) 2x Xbee modules ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/22630) 2x SMA antenna My steps: Configured the XBees successfully with XCTU with the same parameters in this post: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ex … /all#xbee3 Plugged in everything in the same way as in: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/xb … e-overview Flashed both Arduino with the same code as in: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/xb … e-overview Plugged both Arduino to power, then the blue LEDs on both shields start to blink twice per second, which according to this post (https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_Digi … rview/#pwr), means “the last TCP/UDP/SMS attempt failed”, and I should check “DI (Remote Manager Indicator) or CI (Protocol/Connection Indication)” Questions: Is there anything el…
