Set up XBee Gateway summary

These instructions give an overview of how to set up XBee Gateway.

  1. Configure the network settings. These settings include IP networking parameters and Remote Manager connectivity. For more information, see:
  2. Connect the XBee nodes to XBee Gateway. This step involves configuring the parameters for forming XBee networks on both XBee Gateway and XBee nodes. There are three substeps:

    1. Configure XBee Gateway as a coordinator.
    2. Join XBee nodes to the coordinator.
    3. Verify that the XBee nodes are joined to the coordinator.

    See Connect the XBee nodes to XBee Gateway for more information.

  3. Configure XBee ZigBee network addressing settings. See Configure the ZigBee network addressing parameters for XBee nodes for more information.
  4. Explore configuring XBee nodes for input/output.
    1. If using serial I/O, configure XBee nodes for serial I/O. See Explore serial I/O for more information.
    2. If using digital or analog I/O, configure the XBee nodes for digital or analog I/O. See Explore digital and analog I/O for more information.
  5. Look at your device data on Remote Manager. See View your device data for more information.
