Setting up zigbee network with X-CTU 6.3.2


I'm trying to create Zigbee P2P using XB24C27WIT-004 modules with Digi USB explorers(CP2102). I am using 2 laptops and connected the XBee modules to each of them. I have added the modules to X-CTUs and changed the DL of one module as MY of another module and vice versa. Both are on same channel and same PAN ID. But i couldn't see the serially transmitted data from one console to another. The console window is as shown in the image. The commands are being seen when i'm trying to discover other radio.The console window. The function is set to ZIGBEE TH Reg for both modules.


Solution

  • Have you configured one as a coordinator (ATCE=1) and the other as a router (ATCE=0) so they can join to each other? The Router can keep ATDH and ATDL as 0 to target the coordinator. I'm not familiar with using the 16-bit network address for the destination, so I'd recommend setting ATDH to the router's ATSH, and ATDL to ATSL.

    To confirm that the devices are joined to each other, their operating PAN ID (ATOI and ATOP) must match. Once you see that, see if the router can send data to the coordinator, and then from the coordinator to the router. You can use ATNR on the router to perform a Network Reset so it will try to re-join your coordinator. You might need to set ATNJ to 0xFF on the coordinator to allow joining.
