Another capability included in the Digi XBee Mobile application is the possibility to exchange data with the different interfaces of the XBee device you are connected to. This is done through a console, where you define the packets of data to send and see packets coming from the device.
To access this feature, click the Console button from the device home page. The application displays the Console page which is split in two sections, Frames log and Send frames.
Packets log
The Packets log is the packets traffic monitor. It shows both the sent and received data packets, represented with a blue or red arrow, respectively, the source or destination interface, a unique identifier and the data.
