Peer-to-peer networks

By default, XBee 3 802.15.4 RF Modules are configured to operate within a peer-to-peer network topology and therefore are not dependent upon master/slave relationships. Our peer-to-peer architecture features fast synchronization times and fast cold start times. This default configuration accommodates a wide range of RF data applications.

To form a peer-to-peer network, set each device to the same channel and PAN ID and configure either a unique short address (MY) for each device or set MY to 0xFFFF to use the unique long addresses.
