XBee X-CTU Test\query modem problem

Hello

I have 2 XBee series2 modules. I configured one as router and one has coordinator, set the the parameters using XCTU and realized the communication succesfully.But recently one of the modules which i configured as router developed some problem.whenever I try to press the test /query on pc settings tab of XCTU software, it doest recognise the modem. I dont see the modem type XB24-B. There is also no Indication of the firmware version.Due to this problem I am unable to realize the communication now. Why does this happen. Please help me.

Thanking you in adavnce

First re-check that the serial connections between the XBee and the Com port are ok.

Next in X-CTU try every Baud rate without and then with the API box checked.

What board are you using to connect the XBee to the PC? I assume that the other XBee works with the same set-up.

If none of this helps then you could call Digi Int’s tech support. They are good at helping solve a problem.

Thank you for your reply I just checked the digi forum and I got the solution for my problem.I have one doubt

I have configured the 2 Xbee modules with the following values.

For Coordinator

MY = 512D

DL = 0

DH = 0

For router

MY = 0

DL = 512D

DH = 0

For both the xbees PAIN ID is 234

Now transmission is always taking place between router to coordinator and not from coordinator to router.That is the two way communication is not being possible. can u tell me the reason for it? What correction should i make for two way communication ?

Thank u

Not sure but try changing the router’s MY to none zero and the coordinators DL to match.
