Dear All,

I am configuring XBEE Modules using XCTU, Facing issue while Reading Modem OR Writing Modem.

Problem : Action Required Dialogue doesn't disappear at any case(while reset)

PC : WIN XP SP3
XCTU : 5.3.8.6

Did you do the "Test/Query" and get a response?
This must work properly first. Reasons it may not are:
Wrong Baud rate.
XBee is in API command mode.
Wrong COM port chosen.

Thanks for feedback,
Baud rate and com port are correct.
I think xbee is in api mode ?
How to escape from this mode ?
I want to configure it to AT mode..

Please help...

Hi All,
I am now able to Test/Query modem.(Checked Enable API checkbox)

But, Problem does reproduce with reading modem configuration. Reading produce Action Required Dialogue doesn't disappear at any case(while reset).

Xbee is in api mode...
Writing modem gives following error :
Getting modem type....Failed to enter command mode
Check Com Port and Baud settings and try again.
Write Parameters...Failed

Regards,
Vijay

What adapter board are you using?
Link to board used so we know exactly which one you have.

Some adapter boards do have issues and don't always work well.

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 ?
