XBee‐PRO PKG‐R® RS‐232 RF Modem – 802.15.4 ‐ Product Manual v1.xAx
3. RF Modem Operation
3.1. Serial Communications
3.1.1. RS-232 Data Flow
3.1.2. Host and RF Modem Settings
The XBee-PRO RS-232 RF Modem interfaces to a host device through a standard RS-232 (DB-9)
connector. Devices that have a standard RS-232 serial port can connect directly through the pins
of the RF modem as shown in the figure below.
Figure 3‐01. System data flow in an RS‐232 environment
Serial communications between a host and an XBee-PRO RF Modem are dependent upon having
matching baud rate, parity, stop bit & number of data bits settings. Refer to the table below to
ensure host serial port settings match those of the XBee-PRO RF Modem.
Table 3‐01. Parameter values critical to serial communications between the RF modem and host
Both the XBee-PRO RF Modem and host (PC) settings can be viewed and adjusted using Digi's
proprietary X-CTU Software. Use the "PC Settings" tab to configure host settings. Use the
"Terminal" or "RF Modem Configuration" tabs to configure the RF modem settings.
NOTE: Failure to enter AT Command Mode is most commonly due to baud rate mismatch. Ensure
the ‘Baud’ setting on the “PC Settings” tab matches the BD (Interface Data Rate) setting of the RF
modem (by default, BD parameter = 3, which is associated to 9600 baud).
