Configure a Python application in the web interface

The web interface of the XBee Gateway device includes a section that allows you to configure and manage the Python processes or applications running in the device.

Before you configure a Python application, the Python application must be loaded on the XBee Gateway device. See File management for more information on loading files on an XBee Gateway device.

To configure a Python application for an XBee Gateway device:

  1. Access and log into the web interface.

  2. Under Configuration, click Python. The Python Configuration page appears and displays the list of Python processes or applications that are currently configured in XBee Gateway as well as their status and the action that will be executed when the applications exit. Note that the first time you load this page, the list will be empty.

  3. Select the Enable check box associated with the Python application. When enabled, the Python application starts immediately after your changes are saved. By selecting the Enable check box, the Python application also automatically starts after a system starts up.

    A green Green icon icon will appear in the Active column when a Python application is running. Note that you can stop a configured Python application immediately by clearing the Enable check box and clicking Apply.

  4. Click Apply to save your changes.
