    The firmware version of the modem.

    It matches the MV AT command of the device.

    IPv4 address

    • XBee border routers

    The IPv4 address of the border router used for the communication.

  • Status column (right): Displays the status of several features.

    Name Device type Description

    Bluetooth® LE

    • XBee RF modules with Bluetooth support

    • XBee Cellular modules

    Indicates whether the Bluetooth LE feature is enabled.

    It matches the BT AT command of the device.

    Cloud connection

    • XBee Cellular modules

    • XBee border routers

    Shows whether the device is connected to Digi Remote Manager®.

Connection

Displayed only for XBee modules, it contains the information about the device’s connection. It has two sections:

Connection

  • The device section (left) displays an icon representing the device type and protocol, and below it, the basic information such as name and device address—IMEI for cellular devices and 64-bit address for other XBee module types.

  • The connection section (right) shows an icon indicating the connection type and additional connection details. Two connection types are supported:

    • Serial: The device connects directly to your PC via serial or USB cable, depending on its adapter board. Below the icon, the serial port details are displayed—port name, baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and hardware flow control. For XBee devices, their operating mode is also displayed here.

      Serial

    • Cloud: The device connects to the Internet through your Digi Remote Manager® account. This means the device must be added to the selected Digi Remote Manager® account to be accessible from XBee Studio. The cloud icon includes an online status indicator—green when connected to Digi Remote Manager®, red when offline. Below the icon, additional information provided by Digi Remote Manager® is shown, such as account username, device ID, and vendor ID.

      Cloud

Network information

Displayed only for border routers, it shows details about the network they manage or belong to.

Network information
Name Available Description

Network name

  • XBee border routers

The name of the Wi-SUN network configured on the device.

PAN ID

  • XBee border routers

The 16-bit identifier of the Personal Area Network.

It is shown for Zigbee, DigiMesh, 802.15.4, and Wi-SUN networks.

Domain

  • XBee border routers

The regulatory domain in which the Wi-SUN network operates.

Channel plan ID

  • XBee border routers

The channel plan used by Wi-SUN networks, defining the frequency set and hopping sequence.

PHY mode ID

  • XBee border routers

The physical layer mode used by Wi-SUN networks, indicating modulation and data rate parameters.

Mesh addr

  • XBee border routers

The IPv6 mesh address of the border router within the Wi-SUN network.

Quick Actions

This section fills the remaining space on the view and displays one card per quick action supported by the device.

Each card shows the action icon and title when collapsed (default state), and adds a brief description when expanded.

When a quick action is selected, a popup opens with its specific controls and buttons to execute or cancel the action.
