Verify the connection between a device and Remote Manager
By default, the XBee is configured to enable communication with Remote Manager. The
communication between XBee and Remote Manager is achieved using periodic UDP operations.
You should verify the default settings to ensure that communcation will work as desired.
1.
Launch XCTU .
2. Verify that the MO command is set to 6, which is the default.
3. Configure the frequency of polls for Remote Manager activity using the DF command. The
default is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
4. Enable the SM/UDP feature in Remote Manager for each device. See Enable SM/UDP.
Configure Remote Manager features by scheduling tasks
Remote Manager provides tools to perform common management and maintenance tasks on your
XBee device. A Remote Manager task is a sequence of commands that can be performed on one or
more XBee Cellular devices. Tasks can then be assigned to a schedule. When a scheduled task is run it
becomes an active operation and can be monitored for status and completion.
Note You must upgrade your device to the latest firmware for all features to be available. See Update
the firmware.
Some typical examples of useful things that can be done with scheduled tasks include:
n Change configuration
n Update your MicroPython application and libraries to add features and capabilities
n Update your security certificates
n Perform a data service device request
n Send an SMS message to your device
Scheduled tasks can be created and performed through the following methods:
n Remote Manager Schedules user interface.
n Remote Manager API Explorer user interface
n Programming web service calls
Note For any of these methods to work properly, you must have SM/UDP enabled. See Enable
SM/UDP.
Overview: Create a schedule for a set of tasks
When using the most current firmware version, the XBee Cellular devices are designed to poll Remote
Manager once per day over the SM/UDP protocol to check for any active operations. In order to
perform a set of tasks, the device needs to be told to connect to Remote Manager, perform the
sequence of tasks, and then told to disconnect.
The following provides a template of how to create a schedule for an XBee to connect, perform a set
of tasks and then disconnect:
