RF Module Operation 2.1. Serial Communications The XBee/XBee-PRO OEM RF Modules interface to a host device through a logic-level asynchronous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can communicate with any logic and voltage compatible UART; or through a level translator to any serial device (For example: RS-232/485/ 422 or USB interface board). 2.1.1. UART Data Flow Devices that have a UART interface can connect directly to the pins of the RF module as shown in the figure below. Figure 2‐01. Figure 2‐01.System Data Flow Diagram in a UART‐interfaced environment (Low‐asserted signals distinguished with horizontal line over signal name.) Serial Data Data enters the module UART through the DI pin (pin 3) as an asynchronous serial signal. The signal should idle high when no data is being transmitted. Each data byte consists of a start bit (low), 8 data bits (least significant bit first) and a stop bit (high). The following figure illustrates the serial bit pattern of data passing through the module. Figure 2‐02. UART data packet 0x1F (decimal number ʺ31ʺ) as transmitted through the RF module Example Data Format is 8‐N‐1 (bits ‐ parity ‐ # of stop bits) The module UART performs tasks, such as timing and parity checking, that are needed for data communications. Serial communications depend on the two UARTs to be configured with compatible settings (baud rate, parity, start bits, stop bits, data bits) Both the module and host (PC) settings can be viewed and adjusted using MaxStream's proprietary X-CTU Software. Use the "PC Settings" tab to configure host settings. Use the "Terminal" or "RF Module Configuration" tab to configure the module settings. NOTE: Failure to enter AT Command Mode is most commonly due to baud rate mismatch. Ensure the ‘Baud’ setting on the “PC Settings tab matches the interface data rate of the RF module (by default, BD parameter = 3 (which is associated to 9600 bps)). © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.1.2. Flow Control Figure 2‐03. Internal Data Flow Diagram DI (Data In) Buffer When serial data enters the RF module through the DI Pin, the data is stored in the DI Buffer until it can be transmitted. When the RO (Packetization Timeout) parameter threshold is satisfied [refer to RO command description for more information], the module attempts to initialize an RF connection. If the module cannot immediately transmit (for instance, if it is already receiving RF data), the serial data continues to be stored in the DI Buffer. If the DI buffer becomes full, hardware or software flow control must be implemented in order to prevent overflow (loss of data between the host and the module). How to eliminate the need for flow control: 1. Send messages that are smaller than the DI buffer size. 2. Interface at a lower baud rate [BD (Interface Data Rate) parameter] than the RF data rate. Case in which the DI Buffer may become full and possibly overflow: If the module is receiving a continuous stream of RF data, any serial data that arrives on the DI pin is placed in the DI Buffer. The data in the DI buffer will be transmitted over-the-air when the module is no longer receiving RF data in the network. Refer to the BD (Interface Data Rate) [p15] and RO (Packetization Timeout) [p19] command descriptions for more information. DO (Data Out) Buffer When RF data is received, the data enters the DO buffer and is sent out the serial port to a host device. Once the DO Buffer reaches capacity, any additional incoming RF data is lost. If the module is receiving a continuous stream of RF data, any serial data that arrives on the DI pin is placed in the DI Buffer. The data in the DI buffer will be transmitted over-the-air when the module is no longer receiving RF data in the network. Two cases in which the DO Buffer may become full and possibly overflow: 1. If the RF data rate is set higher than the interface data rate of the module, the module will receive data from the transmitting module faster than it can send the data to the host. 2. If the host does not allow the module to transmit data out from the DO buffer because of being held off by hardware or software flow control. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.2. Modes of Operation XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules operate in five modes. Figure 2‐04. XBee/XBee‐PRO RF Module Modes of Operation (The RF Modules operate in one mode at a time.) When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF module is in Idle Mode. The RF module shifts into the other modes of operation under the following conditions: • Serial data is received in the DI Buffer (Transmit Mode) • Valid RF data is received through the antenna (Receive Mode) • Sleep Mode condition is met (Sleep Mode) • Command Mode Sequence is issued (Command Mode) 2.2.1. Sleep Mode Sleep Modes enable the RF module to enter states of low-power consumption when not in use. In order to enter Sleep Mode, one of the following conditions must be met (in addition to the module having a non-zero SM parameter value): • SLEEP (pin 9) is de-asserted. • The module is idle (no data transmission or reception) for the amount of time defined by the ST (Time before Sleep) parameter. [NOTE: ST is only active when SM = 4-8.] Table 2‐01. Sleep Mode Configurations Sleep Mode Transition into Setting Sleep Mode Transition out of Sleep Mode Characteristics Related Commands Power Consumption Pin Hibernate (SM = 1) De-assert SLEEP Assert SLEEP Pin/Host-controlled (SM) < 10 µA (@3.0 VCC) Pin Doze (SM = 2) De-assert SLEEP Assert SLEEP Pin/Host-controlled (SM) < 50 µA Cyclic Sleep (SM = 4 - 6) Automatic transition to Sleep Mode as defined by the SM (Sleep Mode) and ST (Time before Sleep) parameters. Transition occurs after the cyclic sleep time interval elapses. The time interval is defined by the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter. RF Module wakes in pre-determined time (SM), SP, ST intervals to detect if RF data is present. < 50 µA when sleeping The SM command is central to setting Sleep Mode configurations. By default, Sleep Modes are disabled (SM = 0) and the module remains in Idle/Receive Mode. When in this state, the module is constantly ready to respond to serial or RF activity. Pin/Host-controlled Sleep Modes Pin Hibernate (SM = 1) • Pin/Host-controlled • Typical power-down current: < 10 µA (@3.0 VCC) • Wake-up time: 13.2 msec Use this mode to wake a sleeping module by asserting SLEEP. Pin Hibernate Mode minimizes quiescent power (power consumed when in a state of rest or inactivity). Pin Hibernate Mode is level-activated; when SLEEP is de-asserted, the module will finish any transmitting or receiving activities, enter Idle Mode and then enter the state of sleep. The module will not respond to either serial or RF activity while in pin sleep. The module will wake when SLEEP is asserted and is ready to transmit or receive when the CTS line is low. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 Pin Doze (SM = 2) • Pin/Host-controlled • Typical power-down current: < 50 µA • Wake-up time: 2 msec Use this mode to wake a sleeping module by asserting SLEEP. This pin-controlled Sleep Mode minimizes wake-up time. Pin Doze Mode is level-activated; when the SLEEP is de-asserted, the module will finish any transmitting or receiving activities, enter Idle Mode and then enter the sleep state. The module will not respond to either serial or RF activity while in pin sleep. The module will wake when SLEEP is asserted and is ready to transmit or receive when the CTS line is low. Cyclic Sleep Modes Cyclic Sleep Remote (SM = 4) • Typical Power-down Current: < 50 µA (when asleep) • Wake-up time: 2 msec Use this mode to have a module periodically check for data. Cyclic Sleep Mode configures the module to sleep, then wake once a cycle to check for data from a module configured as a Cyclic Sleep Coordinator (SM = 6). The Cyclic Sleep Remote sends a poll request to the coordinator at a specific interval set by the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter. The coordinator will transmit any queued data addressed to that specific remote upon receiving the poll request. If no data is queued for the remote, the coordinator will not transmit and the remote will return to sleep for another cycle. If queued data is transmitted back to the remote, it will stay awake to allow for back and forth communication until the ST (Time before Sleep) timer expires. Also note that CTS will go low each time the remote wakes, allowing for communication initiated by the remote host if desired. Cyclic Sleep Remote with Pin Wake-up (SM = 5) Use this mode to wake a sleeping remote module through either the RF interface or by the assertion of SLEEP for event-driven communications. The cyclic sleep mode works as described above (SM = 4) with the addition of a pin-controlled wake-up at the remote module. The module will wake quickly when a low is detected and set CTS low as soon as it is ready to transmit or receive. Any activity will reset the ST (Time before Sleep) timer so the module will go back to sleep only after SLEEP is de-asserted and there is no activity for the duration of the timer. Cyclic Sleep Coordinator (SM = 6) • Typical current = Receive current • Always awake Use this mode to configure a module to wake cyclic sleeping remotes through the RF interface. The cyclic sleep coordinator will accept a message addressed to a specific remote 16 or 64-bit address and hold it in a buffer until the remote wakes up and sends a poll to request the message. Messages that are not sent directly, must be buffered and requested are called "Indirect messages". The coordinator will only queue one indirect message at a time. The coordinator will hold the indirect message for a period 2.5 times the sleeping period indicated by the SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) parameter. The coordinator's SP parameter should be set to match the value used by the remotes. Also, the ST parameters of the coordinator and remotes should be set to the same value because the coordinator will track the 'awake' period of the recent 10 remotes to wake up. If the coordinator receives additional messages addressed to a remote that should be awake, the coordinator will send a direct message to that remote instead of queuing it. The coordinator is always awake so that any remote unit can transmit either a poll request or a data message at any time. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 10 XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.2.2. Command Mode To modify or read RF Module parameters, the module must first enter into Command Mode - a state in which incoming characters are interpreted as commands. A robust set of AT Commands are available for programming and customizing the module. AT Commands To Enter AT Command Mode: Send the 3-character command sequence “+++” and observe guard times before and after the command characters. [Refer to the “Default AT Command Mode Sequence” below.] Default AT Command Mode Sequence (for transition to Command Mode): • No characters sent for one second [GT (Guard Times) parameter = 0x3E8] • Input three plus characters (“+++”) within one second [CC (Command Sequence Character) parameter = 0x2B.] • No characters sent for one second [GT (Guard Times) parameter = 0x3E8] All of the parameter values in the sequence can be modified to reflect user preferences. To Send AT Commands: Send AT commands and parameters using the syntax shown below. Figure 2‐05. Syntax for sending AT Commands To read a parameter value stored in the RF module’s register, leave the parameter field blank. The preceding example would change the RF module Destination Address (Low) to “0x1F”. To store the new value to non-volatile (long term) memory, subsequently send the WR (Write) command. For modified parameter values to persist in the module’s registry, changes must be saved to nonvolatile memory using the WR (Write) Command. Otherwise, parameters are restored to previously saved values after the module is powered off and then on again (or re-booted). System Response. When a command is sent to the RF module, the module will parse and execute the command. Upon successful execution of a command, the module returns an “OK” message. If execution of a command results in an error, the module returns an “ERROR” message. To Exit AT Command Mode: 1. Send ATCN (Exit Command Mode) Command. 2. If no valid AT Commands are received within the time specified by CT (Command Mode Timeout) Command, the RF module automatically returns to Idle Mode. [OR] For an example that illustrates programming the RF module using AT Commands, refer to the "RF Module Configuration" chapter [p13]. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 11 XBee™/XBee‐PRO OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 2.3. Networking Modes Before transmitting data over-the-air, the RF module will first undergo CCA (Clear Channel Assessment). If the CCA fails, the packet will not be transmitted. 2.3.1. Addressing Overview Packets can be sent and received using a 16-bit or a 64-bit address (802.15.4 protocol). A unique 64-bit IEEE source address is assigned at the factory and can be read with the SL (Serial Number Low) and SH (Serial Number High) parameters. To send a packet to a specific RF module using 64-bit addressing, set the Destination Address (DL + DH) to match the Source Address (SL + SH) of the intended destination RF module. To send a packet to a specific RF module using 16-bit addressing, set the DL (Destination Address Low) parameter to the MY (Source Address) parameter and set the DH (Destination Address High) parameter to “0x00000000.” 2.3.2. Unicast Mode Unicast Mode enables acknowledged communications. While in this mode, receiving modules send an ACK (acknowledgement) of RF packet reception to the transmitter. If the transmitting module does not receive the ACK, the transmitter will re-send the packet up to three times until the ACK is received. Unicast Mode is the only mode that supports retries. Unicast Communications using 16-bit addressing The following table shows a sample configuration that would enable Unicast Mode communications using 16-bit short addresses. Table 2‐02. Sample Unicast Configuration (using 16‐bit addressing) Parameter RF Module 1 RF Module 2 0x02 MY (Source Address) 0x01 DH (Destination Address High) DL (Destination Address Low) 0x02 0x01 Unicast Communications using 64-bit addressing The RF module’s serial number (SL parameter concatenated to the SH parameter) can be used as a 64-bit source address when the MY (16-bit Source Address) parameter is disabled. When the MY parameter is disabled (set MY to 0xFFFF), the module’s source address is set to the 64-bit IEEE address stored in the SH and SL parameters. To send a packet to a specific module, set the Destination Address (DL + DH) so it matches the Source Address (SL + SH) of the intended destination module. 2.3.3. Broadcast Mode Any RF module will accept a packet that contains a broadcast address. When configured to operate in Broadcast Mode, receiving modules do not send ACKs (Acknowledgements) and transmitting RF modules do not automatically re-send packets as is the case in Unicast Mode. To send a broadcast packet to all modules regardless of 16-bit or 64-bit addressing, set destination addresses of all the modules as shown below. Sample Configuration (All modules in the network): • DL (Destination Low Address) = 0x0000FFFF • DH (Destination High Address) = 0x00000000 NOTE: When programming the module, parameters are entered in hexadecimal notation (without the “0x” prefix). Leading zeros may be omitted. For more information regarding RF module parameter modification, refer to the “Command Mode” [p11] and “RF Module Configuration” [p13] sections. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 12 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 3. RF Module Configuration 3.1. Programming the RF Module Refer to the “Command Mode” section [p11] for more information about entering Command Mode, sending AT commands and exiting Command Mode. 3.1.1. Programming Examples Setup The programming examples in this section require the installation of MaxStream's X-CTU Software and a serial connection to a PC. (MaxStream stocks RS-232 and USB boards to facilitate interfacing to a PC.) 1. Install MaxStream's X-CTU Software to a PC by double-clicking the "setup_X-CTU.exe" file. (The file is located on the MaxStream CD and under the 'Software' section of the following web page: www.maxstream.net/helpdesk/download.php) 2. Mount the RF module to an interface board, then connect the module assembly to a PC. 3. Launch the X-CTU Software and select the 'PC Settings' tab. Verify the baud and parity settings of the Com Port match those of the RF module. NOTE: Failure to enter AT Command Mode is most commonly due to baud rate mismatch. Ensure the ‘Baud’ setting on the ‘PC Settings’ tab matches the interface data rate of the RF module (by default, BD parameter = 3 (which corresponds to 9600 bps)). Sample Configuration: Modify RF Module Destination Address Example: Utilize the 'Terminal' tab of the X-CTU Software to change the RF module's DL (Destination Address Low) parameter and save the new address to non-volatile memory. After establishing a serial connection between the RF module and a PC [refer to the 'Setup' section above], select the ‘Terminal’ tab of the X-CTU Software and enter the following command lines (‘CR’ stands for carriage return): Method 1 (One line per command)) Send AT Command +++ ATDLATDL1A0D ATWR ATCN System Response OK (Enter into Command Mode) {current value} (Read Destination Address Low) OK (Modify Destination Address Low) OK (Write to non-volatile memory) OK (Exit Command Mode) Method 2 (Multiple commands on one line) Send AT Command +++ ATDL ATDL1A0D,WR,CN System Response OK (Enter into Command Mode) {current value} (Read Destination Address Low) OK (Execute commands) Sample Configuration: Restore RF Module Defaults Example: Utilize the 'Modem Configuration' tab of the X-CTU Software to restore default parameter values of the RF module. After establishing a connection between the RF module and a PC [refer to the 'Setup' section above], select the 'Modem Configuration' tab of the X-CTU Software. 1. Select the 'Read' button. 2. Select the 'Restore' button. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 13 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 3.2. Command Reference Table Table 3‐01.

Command Descriptions Command descriptions in this section are listed alphabetically. Command categories are designated within "< >" symbols that follow each command title. XBee-PRO RF modules expect parameter values in hexadecimal (designated by the "0x" prefix). BD (Interface Data Rate) Command The BD command is used to set and read the serial interface data rate (baud rate) used between the RF module and host. This parameter determines the rate at which serial data is sent to the RF module from the host. Modified interface data rates do not take effect until the CN (Exit AT Command Mode) command is issued and the system returns the 'OK' response. AT Command: ATBD Parameter Range: 0 - 7 (standard rates) When parameters 0-7 are sent to the RF module, the respective interface data rates are used (as shown in the table on the right). The RF data rate is not affected by the BD parameter. If the interface data rate is set higher than the RF data rate, a flow control configuration may need to be implemented. Parameter Configuration (bps) 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 Default Parameter Value:3 Non-standard Interface Data Rates: When parameter values outside the range of standard baud rates are sent, the closest interface data rate represented by the number is stored in the BD register. For example, a rate of 19200 bps can be set by sending the following command line "ATBD4B00". NOTE: When using MaxStream’s X-CTU Software, non-standard interface data rates can only be set and read using the XCTU ‘Terminal’ tab. Non-standard rates are not accessible through the ‘Modem Configuration’ tab. When the BD command is sent with a non-standard interface data rate, the UART will adjust to accommodate the requested interface rate. In most cases, the clock resolution will cause the stored BD parameter to vary from the parameter that was sent (refer to the table below). Reading the BD command (send "ATBD" command without an associated parameter value) will return the value that was actually stored to the BD register. Table 3‐02. Parameters Sent Versus Parameters Stored BD Parameter Sent (HEX) Interface Data Rate (bps) 1200 BD Parameter Stored (HEX) 19,200 115,200 12C 300 12B 1C200 115,200 1B207 CC (Command Sequence Character) Command The CC command is used to set and read the ASCII character used between guard times of the AT Command Mode Sequence (GT + CC + GT). This sequence enters the RF module into AT Command Mode so that data entering the modem from the host is recognized as commands instead of payload. AT Command: ATCC Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFF Default Parameter Value: 0x2B (ASCII “+”) Related Commands: GT (Guard Times) Refer to the Command Mode section [p11] for more information regarding the AT Command Mode Sequence. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 15 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 CH (Channel) Command The CH command is used to set and read the channel on which RF connections are made between RF modules. The channel is one of three network layers available to the RF module. The other layers are the PAN ID (ID command) and destination addresses (DL & DH commands). AT Command: ATCH Parameter Range: 0x0B - 0x1A (XBee) 0x0C - 0x18 (XBee-PRO) Default Parameter Value: 0x0C (12 decimal) Related Commands: ID (PAN ID), DL (Destination Address Low, DH (Destination Address High) In order for RF modules to communicate with each other, the RF modules must share the same channel number. Different channels can be used to prevent RF modules in one network from listening to transmissions of another. The RF module uses channel numbers of the 802.15.4 standard. Center Frequency = 2.405 + (CH - 11d) * 5 MHz (d = decimal) Refer to the “Addressing Overview” section [p12] for more information. CN (Exit AT Command Mode) Command The CN command is used to explicitly exit the RF module from AT Command Mode. AT Command: ATCN CT (Command Mode Timeout) Command The CT command is used to set and read the amount of inactive time that elapses before the RF module automatically exits from AT Command Mode and returns to Idle Mode. Use the CN (Exit AT Command Mode) command to exit AT Command Mode manually. AT Command: ATCT Parameter Range: 2 - 0xFFFF [x 100 milliseconds] Default Parameter Value: 0x64 (100 decimal, which equals 10 decimal seconds) Number of bytes returned: 2 Related Command: CN (Exit AT Command Mode) DB (Received Signal Strength) Command The DB parameter is used to read the received signal strength (in dBm) of the last RF packet received. Reported values are accurate between -40 dBm and the RF module's receiver sensitivity. AT Command: ATDB Parameter Range: 0 - 0x64 [read-only] Absolute values are reported. For example: 0x58 = -88 dBm. If no packets have been received (since last reset, power cycle or sleep event), “0” will be reported. DH (Destination Address High) Command The DH command is used to set and read the upper 32 bits of the RF module's 64-bit destination address. When combined with the DL (Destination Address Low) parameter, it defines the destination address used for transmission. AT Command: ATDH Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFFFFFF Default Parameter Value: 0 Related Commands: DL (Destination Address Low), CH (Channel), ID (PAN VID), MY (Source Address) RF modules will only communicate with other RF modules having the same channel (CH parameter), PAN ID (ID parameter) and destination address (DH + DL parameters). To transmit using a 16-bit address, set the DL parameter to zero and the DH parameter less than 0xFFFF. 0x000000000000FFFF (DH concatenated to DL) is the broadcast address for the PAN. Refer to the “Addressing Overview” section [p12] for more information. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 16 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 DL (Destination Address Low) Command The DL command is used to set and read the lower 32 bits of the RF module's 64-bit destination address. When combined with the DH (Destination Address High) parameter, it defines the destination address used for transmission. AT Command: ATDL Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFFFFFF Default Parameter Value: 0 Related Commands: DH (Destination Address High), CH (Channel), ID (PAN VID), MY (Source Address) RF modules will only communicate with other RF modules having the same channel (CH parameter), PAN ID (ID parameter) and destination address (DH + DL parameters). To transmit using a 16-bit address, set the DL parameter to zero and the DH parameter less than 0xFFFF. 0x000000000000FFFF (DH concatenated to DL) is the broadcast address for the PAN. Refer to the “Addressing Overview” section [p12] for more information. GT (Guard Times) Command GT Command is used to set the DI (data in from host) time-ofsilence that surrounds the AT command sequence character (CC Command) of the AT Command Mode sequence (GT + CC + GT). The DI time-of-silence is used to prevent inadvertent entrance into AT Command Mode. AT Command: ATGT Parameter Range: 0x02 - 0xFFFF [x 1 millisecond] Default Parameter Value: 0x3E8 Related Commands: CC (Command Sequence Character) Refer to the Command Mode section [p11] for more information regarding the AT Command Mode Sequence. ID (Pan ID) Command The ID command is used to set and read the PAN (Personal Area Network) ID of the RF module. Only RF modules with matching PAN IDs can communicate with each other. RF modems with non-matching PAN IDs will not receive unintended data transmission. AT Command: ATID Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFF Default Parameter Value:0x3332 (13106 decimal) Setting ID to 0xFFFF indicates a global message for all PANs. Refer to the “Addressing Overview” section [p12] for more information. MY (16-bit Source Address) Command The MY command is used to set and read the 16-bit source address of the RF module. By setting MY to 0xFFFF, the reception of RF packets having a 16-bit address is disabled. The 64-bit address is the module serial number and is always enabled. AT Command: ATMY Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFF Default Parameter Value: 0 Related Commands: DH (Destination Address High), DL (Destination Address Low), CH (Channel), ID (PAN ID) Refer to the “Addressing Overview” section [p12] for more information. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 17 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 P0 (PWM0 Configuration) Command The P0 command is used to select and read the function for PWM0 (Pulse Width Modulation output 0 - pin 6). Note: The second character in the command is a zero (“0”), not the letter “O”. AT Command: ATP0 Parameter Range: 0 - 1 Parameter Configuration Disabled RSSI PWM0 enabled Default Parameter Value: 1 PL (Power Level) Command The PL command is used to select and read the power level at which the RF module transmits conducted power. AT Command: ATPL Parameter Range: 0 - 4 Parameter XBee XBee-Pro -11.5 dBm 10 dBm -5.5 dBm 12 dBm -4.5 dBm 14 dBm -2 dBm 16 dBm 0 dBm 18 dBm Default Parameter Value: 4 RE (Restore Defaults) Command <(Special)> The RE command is used to restore AT Command: ATRE all configurable parameters to their factory default settings. The RE command does not write restored values to non-volatile (persistent) memory. Issue the WR (Write) command after issuing the RE command to save restored parameter values to non-volatile memory. RN (Random Delay Slots) Command The RN command is used to set and read the minimum value of the back-off exponent in the CSMA-CA algorithm. The CSMA-CA algorithm was engineered for collision avoidance (random delays are inserted to prevent data loss caused by data collisions). AT Command: ATRN Parameter Range: 0 - 3 Default Parameter Value: 0 If RN = 0, collision avoidance is disabled during the first iteration of the algorithm (802.15.4 macMinBE). CSMA-CA stands for "Carrier Sense Multiple Access - Collision Avoidance". Unlike CSMA-CD (reacts to network transmissions after collisions have been detected), CSMA-CA acts to prevent data collisions before they occur. As soon as a modem receives a packet that is to be transmitted, it checks if the channel is clear (no other modem is transmitting). If the channel is clear, the packet is sent over-the-air. If the channel is not clear, the RF module waits for a randomly selected period of time, then checks again to see if the channel is clear. After a time, the process ends and the data is lost. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 18 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 RO (Packetization Timeout) Command The RO command is used to AT Command: ATRO set and read the number of character times of Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFF inter-character delay required before transmis[x character times] sion. RF transmission commences when data is Default Parameter Value: 3 detected in the DI (data in from host) buffer and RO character times of silence are detected on the UART receive lines (after receiving at least 1 byte). (RF transmission will also commence when 100 bytes (maximum packet size) are received in the DI buffer.) Set the RO parameter to '0' to transmit characters as they arrive instead of buffering them into one RF packet. RP (RSSI PWM Timer) Command The RP command is used to AT Command: ATRP enable PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output on Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFF the RF module. The output is calibrated to show [x 100 milliseconds] the level a received RF signal is above the sensiDefault Parameter Value: 0x28 (40 decimal) tivity level of the RF module. The PWM pulses vary from zero to 95 percent. Zero to twenty-nine percent means the received RF signal is at or below the published sensitivity level of the RF module. The following table shows levels above sensitivity and PWM values. The total period of the PWM output is 8.32 ms. Because there are 40 steps in the PWM output, the minimum step size is 0.208 ms. Table 3‐03. PWM Percentages dB above Sensitivity PWM percentage* (high period / total period) 10 46.0% 20 63.0% 30 80.1% * PWM% = (295 + (17.5 * dBm above sensitivity)) / 10.24 A non-zero value defines the time that the PWM output will be active with the RSSI value of the last received RF packet. After the set time when no RF packets are received, the PWM output will be set low (0 percent PWM) until another RF packet is received. The PWM output will also be set low at power-up until the first RF packet is received. A parameter value of 0xFF permanently enables the PWM output and it will always reflect the value of the last received RF packet. SH (Serial Number High) Command The SH command is used to read the high 32 bits of the RF module's unique IEEE 64-bit address. The RF module serial number is set at the factory and is read-only. AT Command: ATSH Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFFFFFF [read-only] Related Commands: SL (Serial Number Low), MY (Source Address) SL (Serial Number Low) Command The SL command is used to read the low 32 bits of the RF module's unique IEEE 64-bit address. The RF module serial number is set at the factory and is read-only. AT Command: ATSL Parameter Range: 0 - 0xFFFFFFFF [read-only] Related Commands: SH (Serial Number High), MY (Source Address) © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 19 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 SM (Sleep Mode) Command The SM command is used to set and read RF module Sleep Mode settings. By default, Sleep Modes are disabled (SM = 0) and the RF module remains in Idle/Receive Mode. When in this state, the RF module is constantly ready to respond to either serial or RF activity. AT Command: ATSM Parameter Range: 0 - 6 Parameter Configuration Disabled Pin Hibernate Pin Doze (reserved) Cyclic Sleep Remote Cyclic Sleep Remote (with Pin Wake-up) Cyclic Sleep Coordinator Default Parameter Value: 0 Related Commands: SP (Cyclic Sleep Period), ST (Time before Sleep) SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) Command The SP command is used to set and read the duration of time in which a remote RF module sleeps. After the cyclic sleep period is over, the RF module wakes and checks for data. If data is not present, the RF module goes back to sleep. The maximum sleep period is 268 seconds (SP = 0x68B0). The SP parameter is only valid if the RF module is configured to operate in Cyclic Sleep (SM = 4-6). AT Command: ATSP Parameter Range: 1 - 0x68B0 [x 10 milliseconds] Default Parameter Value:0x64 (100 decimal) Related Commands: SM (Sleep Mode), ST (Time before Sleep) ST (Time before Sleep) Command The ST command is used to set and read the period of time that the RF module remains inactive (no transmitting or receiving) before entering into Sleep Mode. For example, if the ST parameter is set to its default value of 0x1388 (5000 decimal), the RF module will enter into Sleep mode after 5 seconds of inactivity. This command can only be used if Cyclic Sleep settings have been selected using SM (Sleep Mode) Command (SM = 4-6). AT Command: ATST Parameter Range: 1 - 0xFFFF [x 1 millisecond] Default Parameter Value:0x1388 (5000 decimal) Related Commands: SM (Sleep Mode), SP (Cyclic Sleep Period) VR (Firmware Version) Command The VR command is used to read which firmware version is stored in the RF module. AT Command: ATVR Parameter Range: 1 - 0xFFFF [read only] WR (Write) Command <(Special)> The WR command is used to write AT Command: ATWR configurable parameters to the RF module's nonvolatile memory (Parameter values remain in RF module's memory until overwritten by subsequent use of the WR Command). If changes are made without writing them to non-volatile memory, the RF module reverts back to previously saved parameters the next time the RF module is powered-on. © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 20 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 Appendix A: Agency Certifications FCC Certification (pending) The XBee/XBee-PRO RF Module complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations.

Both boards provide a direct connection to many serial devices and therefore provide access to the RF module registries. Parameters stored in the registry allow OEMs and integrators to customize the modules to suite the needs of their data radio systems. The following sections illustrate how to use the interface boards for development purposes. The MaxStream Interface board provides means for connecting the module to any node that has an available RS-232 or USB connector. Since the module requires signals to enter at TTL voltages, one of the main functions of the interface board is to convert signals between TTL levels and RS232 and USB levels. Note: In the following sections, an OEM RF Module mounted to an interface board will be referred to as a "Module Assembly". © 2005 MaxStream, Inc., Confidential & Proprietary ‐ All Rights Reserved 24 XBee™/XBee‐PRO™ OEM RF Modules – Product Manual v1.0 RS-232 Interface Board Physical Interface B-01a.
