Apply XBee profiles

Applying a profile is the recommended way to configure an XBee or update it. A configuration profile is an XPRO file that may contain several items: device firmware, setting values to configure, and a file system.

Upload XBee profiles

XPRO files are uploaded to the /etc/config/xbee-profiles directory of the IX15. You can upload profiles to the IX15 using:

The WebUI. See Manage XBee profiles.
The scp Secure Copy command from the CLI. See Upload and download files.
A utility such as SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or an SFTP application like FileZilla. See Upload and download files.
Digi Remote Manager. See Upload files to a device in the Digi Remote Manager User Guide.

Update an XBee

To apply a profile use the xbee update command. Use xbee update ? to display its help and syntax.

> xbee update ?

XBEE-ID—required—is the XBee identifier, that can be the 64-bit address or the node identifier.
