View device data from the XBee Gateway web interface

To access the python.log file from the XBee Gateway web interface:

  1. Access the web interface and log using the default user name and password. If these defaults do not work, the password may have been updated. Contact your system administrator for help.

    • User name: python
    • Password: The unique, default password is printed on the device label. If the password is not on the device label, the default password is dbps.
  2. Click System Log under Administration.

  3. Select python.log from the Select Log File menu and click Get File. The python.log file appears. Events in the log file that may be of note include:

    • Serial or I/O data arriving from an XBee node on your RF network
    • An RCI command received from Remote Manager
    • Attempts to upload data to Data Streams in Remote Manager
    • Errors and warnings during execution for debugging and diagnostics

  4. The page does not refresh automatically, so when you want to ensure that the data is up to date, click Refresh.

    The following example shows the python.log file for an XBee Gateway with an XBee node configured for digital and analog I/O:
