Update firmware over the air for XBee network modules

To perform OTA firmware updates for XBee network modules:

  1. Download the appropriate firmware file from the Digi Support site.
  2. On the gateway, upload the latest firmware files from the Configuration > XBee Network > OTA Firmware Update Setup page. The files must have the extension .ebl. On gateways supporting XBee 3 OTA updates, files with the extensions .ota and .otb are allowed.

    You can upload multiple files, each containing a different firmware type needed by nodes on the network.

  3. Schedule and monitor updates of individual nodes on the OTA Firmware Update Status page. Scheduled updates are performed in the background, one node at a time. When updating a remote node, the remote note is not accessible from the XBee network. When updating the XBee module in the gateway, the XBee network is not accessible from the gateway.
