Zigbee setup for standalone

Post by duckygator » Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:11 pm

I have a GEM running COM version 4.0 and ENG version 1.49. It is has serial only communications with an xbee chip. I have an XBee radio on a USB plugged into my computer and am trying to configure this radio to communicate with the GEM device so I can receive the GEM data on my computer. I've looked through the GEM manuals, but can't find any communication settings detailed. How do I need to configure my radio to receive the GEM data?

Thanks,
Tom

We use a Series 2 S2B Xbee chip with the following settings:

ZB AT Mode Router firmware
PAN ID: 345
Node ID: E3
Baud Rate: 19200

Everything else is default

The one difference is you'll want to use Coordinator mode since we use Router.
