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 ?
