How does the XBee Gateway Python application work?

XBee Gateway and XBee Gateway Python application software combination acts as a bridge between your XBee network and Remote Manager. This means that using the capabilities provided by Remote Manager, you can communicate with and manage not just XBee Gateway, but also all the XBee modules of the network individually. Similarly, all the XBee modules can report data to Remote Manager and store the data there to be retrieved later.

Consumer applications, such as web apps, mobile apps, and so on, can use Remote Manager web services to retrieve data stored by the XBee modules and represent it in different ways, or talk directly with any of the XBee modules to configure them, activate Digital Input/Output (DIO) lines, etc. The following figure illustrates the role of XBee Gateway and XBee Gateway Python application in such a scenario.
