Configure XBee radio settings
65
Basic radio settings control basic operation of the XBee Module in a
ZigBee network.
• PAN ID: Sets the PAN (Personal Area Network) ID, in hexadecimal.
This is the preferred PAN ID for the ZigBee network. All Digi Drop-in
Networking products have a default PAN ID of 0x234. A PAN ID of
FFFF causes the XBee Module to select a random PAN ID.
Otherwise, the specified ID will be used.
When a Router or End device searches for a Coordinator on the
ZigBee network, it joins to a parent that has a matching PAN ID. If
that device's configured ID setting is FFFF, the device will join a
parent operating on any PAN ID.
Note: Changing the PAN ID may make your XBee product
inaccessible.
• Node Identifier: A descriptive, user-friendly name for the device.
This identifier is returned as part of any Node Discover operations
done on the ZigBee network. Using Node Identifiers for Drop-in
Networking devices makes it possible to reference them by names
rather than their physical addresses. Enter a name of up to 20
characters.
• Discover Timeout: Sets the amount of time a node will spend
discovering other nodes when a Node Join or Node Discover is
issued.
• Scan Channels: A bit field list of the channels to scan. The Digi
device chooses of the channels when starting the network. In a
Router or End device, the bit field is a list of channels that will be
scanned to find a Coordinator/Router to join.
• Scan Duration: Sets the scan duration exponent of the Active and
Energy Scans (on each channel) that are used to determine an
acceptable channel and Pan ID for startup of the Coordinator.
