Configure the device using XCTU
XBee Configuration and Test Utility (XCTU) is a multi-platform program that enables users to interact
with Digi radio frequency (RF) devices through a graphical interface. The application includes built-in
tools that make it easy to set up, configure, and test Digi RF devices.
For instructions on downloading and using XCTU, see the XCTU User Guide.
Custom defaults
Custom defaults allow you to preserve a subset of the device configuration parameters even after
returning to default settings using RE (Restore Defaults). This can be useful for settings that identify
the device—such as NI (Node Identifier)—or settings that could make remotely recovering the device
difficult if they were reset—such as ID (Extended PAN ID).
Note You must send these commands as local AT commands, they cannot be set using Remote AT
Command Request frame - 0x17.
Set custom defaults
Use %F (Set Custom Default) to set custom defaults. When the XBee 3 Zigbee RF Module receives %F
it takes the next command it receives and applies it to both the current configuration and the custom
defaults.
To set custom defaults for multiple commands, send a %F before each command.
Restore factory defaults
!C (Clear Custom Defaults) clears all custom defaults, so that RE (Restore Defaults) will restore the
device to factory defaults. Alternatively, R1 (Restore Factory Defaults) restores all parameters to
factory defaults without erasing their custom default values.
Limitations
There is a limitation on the number of custom defaults that can be set on a device. The number of
defaults that can be set depends on the size of the saved parameters and the devices' firmware
version. When there is no more room for custom defaults to be saved, any command sent immediately
after a %F returns an error.
Custom configuration: Create a new factory default
You can create a custom configuration that is used as a new factory default. This feature is useful if,
for example, you need to maintain certain settings for manufacturing or want to ensure a feature is
always enabled. When you use RE (Restore Defaults) to perform a factory reset on the device, the
custom configuration is set on the device after applying the original factory default settings.
