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.
Configure remote devices
You can communicate with remote devices over the air through a corresponding local device.
Note Using API mode on the local device allows you to send remote API commands.
These instructions show you how to configure the LT command parameter on a remote device.
1. Add two XBee devices to XCTU.
2. Load XBee3 802.15.4 firmware onto each device if it is not already loaded. See How to update
the firmware of your modules in the XCTU User Guide for more information.
