If you are unable to read these parameters from the list, you can go in the "Terminal" tab and type three plus signs: +++ to enter in the configuration mode, then type ATSH an ATSL to get the serial number from the module, the module will answer like below:
#Arduino communicate with computer wirelessly update#
Check the "Always Update Firmware" in the check box and press "Write" button, and the configuration will be uploaded on your module. Now the end device configuration is complete. Read the SH and SL parameters and take note of them, because you'll need to tell the coordinator this address in the next step. Use the same number for both radios so that they can communicate. In the settings below you only need to change the PAN ID. This is the radio's unique address, and is used to send messages to it. The Serial number consists of two 16-bit numbers, stored in two addresses: SH (serial high) and SL (serial low). Radios on different PAN IDs will ignore each others messages. Radios which share a PAN ID can communicate with each other. The settings that are most important are the PAN ID (ID)and the serial number high word (SH) and low word (SL). Select both and then click the "Test / Query" button, will appear a screen like this: The COM port you created will appear in the two text boxes on the left.

Open the X-CTU software and type the Arduino XBee module's COM port number into the "Com Port Number" field. Then mount the radio on your Wireless shield. To configure the modules from the computer, put the serial switch to the USB position and upload an empty sketch, like this: To do so, open a terminal windows and type: You'll need to create a link from the Arduino device on which the radio is mounted to the Wine dosdevice directory.

If you are running a Linux, you can install X-CTU through Wine. Unfortunately it's only available for Windows. You need Digi's configuration software, X-CTU, to do this. To configure a ZB module as coordinator, router, or end device, you'll need to change the firmware.
#Arduino communicate with computer wirelessly how to#
These instructions show you how to get two Arduino boards talking to each other over ZB radios using Wireless Shields.
The next section shows you how to do this. To enable simple communication between two ZB radios, you'll need to configure one with the coordinator firmware, and one with router or endpoint firmware. You can also make networks in which the endpoints save power by sleeping, but don't lose messages when asleep. The ZigBee protocol allows you to set up a radio link between the modules that are distant from each other by sending messages through multiple routers from endpoint to endpoint. Though each module must be configured for a specific role, the advantage is that you can form wider networks than you can with the 802.15.4 modules. There can be several routers attached to each coordinator and many end devices that can communicate directly with a coordinator or pass messages to other end devices through router and the coordinator. In a ZigBee network there must be only one coordinator that manages all the network.
Each ZB module must have its firmware configured as coordinator, router, or endpoint before you can begin communication. Simple peer-to-peer communication with these modules is therefore more complicated than with the 802.15.4 modules. The XBee with ZNet 2.5 or ZB firmwares are designed to form networks with star, cluster tree or mesh topologies, where there is a hierarchy of devices and one coordinator is always necessary. The Xbee 802.15.4 modules support point-to-point or multipoint communication without routing, so they are ready out of the box to establish peer communication between two radios without any configuration. Remember that only radios with the same type of firmware can communicate with each other. Digi International continue to support both ZigBee and Znet 2.5, so you are free to use either on the Series 2 radios. In particular in XBee® 802.15.4 OEM RF Modules implements the 802.15.4 protocol while the the XBee® ZB ZigBee® RF Modules implements the ZigBee protocol or the ZNet 2.5 protocol. The XBee® ZB ZigBee® RF Modules and the XBee® 802.15.4 OEM RF Modules are not compatible over-the-air because they use different chipsets. This documentation describes the use of the shield with the XBee® ZB ZigBee® RF Modules module. The Arduino Wireless Shield allows your Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using ZigBee.
