General Procedure for setting up a pair of XBees to talk to each other
- Run X-CTU (Windows) to set up the Xbee modems.
- Make the XBee that is on the Sainsmart USB adapter the Coordinator.
- Make the XBee on the Adafruit the Router.
- Set up the destination registers on the XBee to be the Serial number of the other Xbee.
Detailed settings
- Set the PAN ID to be the same on both to be the same
- Set the Baud Rate on both to be 57600
- Set the Destination High and Destination Low on the COORDINATOR to be the Serial High and Serial Low of the ROUTER.
- ATDH13A200<ENTER>

- Set the Destination High and Destination Low on the ROUTER to the Serial High and Serial Low of the COORDINATOR.
- ATDH13A200<ENTER>
- ATDL4086960E<ENTER>
Every XBee network requires one node to be configured to perform the role of the Coordinator. This is true even if all you want to do is establish a transparent serial link between two modems.
- Select Modem Configuration Tab
- Click "Read"
- Set one as COORDINATOR AT and one as ROUTER AT.
- Depending on the modem type you have and the software installed on it, the options may be a little different but will be similar.
- Select the Function Set drop down and click "always update firmware".
- When updating the firmware or settings you may get a popup about resetting the Xbees, do not push Cancel.
- Use the X-CTU program, go into the modem configuration
- Set the PAN ID to be the same on both (e.g. 234)
- Set the Baud Rate on both to be 57600
- Set the Destination High and Destination Low on the COORDINATOR to be the Serial High and Serial Low of the ROUTER.
- Set the Destination High and Destination Low on the ROUTER to the Serial High and Serial Low of the COORDINATOR.
