Deprecated kit (PN XK3-C-A1-UT-001)

This section includes hardware and connection information for the deprecated kit, Digi XBee 3 Cellular LTE Cat 1 AT&T (part number XK3-C-A1-UT-001). The deprecated kit includes the XBIB-U-DEV development board.

Note Information about how to configure and manage the XBee on the XBIB-U-DEV development board can be found in this guide. The XBee configuration is the same for both kits and development boards.

To connect the hardware using the XBIB-U-DEV development board, you should perform all of the steps below in the order shown.

1. Identify the kit contents
2. Connect the hardware
3. Install and upgrade XCTU
4. Update the device and cellular firmware using XCTU
5. Check for cellular registration and connection
6. Determine cellular service
7. Use one of the following methods to verify your cellular connection:
   • Connect to the Echo server
   • Connect to the ELIZA server
   • Connect to the Daytime server

Optional steps

You can review the information in these steps for more XBee connection examples and examples of how to use MicroPython.

1. Review additional connection examples to help you learn how to use the device. See XBee connection examples.
2. Review introductory MicroPython examples. You can use MicroPython to enhance the intelligence of the XBee to enable you to do edge-computing by adding business logic in MicroPython, rather than using external components.
   • Example: hello world
   • Example: turn on an LED
