# Mounting Considerations
The XBee-PRO® 900 RF Module (through-hole) was designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) and therefore does not require any soldering when mounting it to a board. The Development Kits contain RS-232 and USB interfac e boards which use two 20-pin receptacles to receive modules. XBee

.

The receptacles used on Digi development boards are manufact ured by Century Interconnect. Several other manufacturers provide comparable mounting solutions; however, Digi currently uses the following receptacles: • Through-hole single -row receptacles -

Samtec P/N: MMS-110-01-L-SV (or equivalent) • Surface-mount double -row receptacles -

Century Interconnect P/N: CPRMSL20-D-0-1 (or equivalent) • Surface-mount single -row receptacles -

Samtec P/N: SMM-110-02-SM-S
Digi also recommends printing an outline of the module on the board to indicate the orientation the module should be mounted.

# 2. RF Module Operation

Serial Communications

The XBee-PRO®OEM RF Modules interface to a host device through a logi c-level asynchronous serial port. Through its serial port, the module can communica te with any logic and voltage compatible UART; or through a level translator to any serial device (For example: Through a Digi proprietary RS-232 or USB interface board). 

### UART Data Flow

Devices that have a UART interface can connect directly to the pins of the RF module as shown in the figure below. System Data Flow Diagram in a UART

‐ interfaced environment (Low

‐ asserted signals distinguished with horizontal line over signal name.)

Serial Data Data enters the module UART through the DIN (pin 3) as an asynchronous serial signal. The signal should idle high when no data is being transmitted. Each data byte consists of a star t bit (low), 8 data bits (least si gnificant bit first) and a stop bit (high). The following figure illust rates the serial bit pattern of data passing through the module. UART data packet 0x1F (decimal number ʺ 31 ʺ ) as transmitted through the RF module Example Data Format is 8

‐ N

‐ 1 (bits ‐ parity ‐ # of stop bits)

The module UART performs tasks, such as timing and parity chec king, that are needed for data communications. Serial communications depend on the two UARTs to be configured with compatible settings (baud rate, parity , start bits, stop bits, data bits). 

### Serial Buffers

The XBee-PRO modules maintain buffe rs to collect received serial and RF data, which is illustrated in the figure below. The serial receive buffer collects incoming se rial characters and holds them until they can be processed. The serial transmit buffer collects data that is received via the RF link that will be transmitted out the UART. Microcontroller Microcontroller XBee Module XBee Module CMOS Logic (3.0-3.6V)

Serial Receive Buffer When serial data enters the RF module through the DIN Pin (pin 3), the data is stored in the serial receive buffer until it ca n be processed. Under ce rtain conditions, the module may not be able to process data in the serial receive buffer immediately. If large amounts of serial data are sent to the module, CTS flow control may be required to avoid overflowing the serial receive buffer. Cases in which the serial receive buffer may become full and possibly overflow: 1. If the module is receiving a co ntinuous stream of RF data, the data in the serial receive buffer will not be transmitted until the module is no longer receiving RF data. 2. If the module is transmitting an RF data packet, the module may need to discover the destination address or establish a route to the destination. After transmitting the data, the module may need to retransmit the data if an acknowledgm ent is not received, or if the transmission is a broadcast. These issues could delay the proce ssing of data in the serial receive buffer.

Serial Transmit Buffer When RF data is received, the data is moved into the serial transmit bu ffer and is se nt out the serial port. If the serial transmit buffer becomes full en ough such that all da ta in a received RF packet won’t fit in the serial transmit buffe r, the entire RF data packet is dropped. Cases in which the serial transmit buffer may become full resulting in dropped RF packets If the RF data rate is set higher than the inte rface data rate of the module, the module could receive data faster than it ca n send the data to the host. If the host does not allow the module to transmit data out from the serial transmit buffer because of being held off by hardware flow control.



### Serial Flow Control

The RTS and CTS module pins can be used to provide RTS and/or CTS flow control. CTS flow control provides an indication to the host to st op sending serial data to the module. RTS flow control allows the host to signal the module to not send data in the serial transmit buffer out the UART. RTS and CTS flow control are enabled us ing the D6 and D7 commands.
CTS Flow Control
If CTS flow control is enabled (D7 command), when th e serial receive buffer is is filled with FT bytes, the module de-asserts CTS (sets it high) to signal to the host device to stop sending serial data. CTS is re-asserted when less than FT - 16 bytes are in the UART receive buffer. Serial Receiver

### XBee

‐ PRO® 900 OEM RF RF Modules

© 2008 Digi International, Inc. 11 RTS Flow Control
If flow RTS control is enabled (D6 command), data in the serial transmit buffer will not be sent out the DOUT pin as long as RTS is de-asserted (set high). The host device should not de-assert RTS for long periods of time to avoid filling the serial transmit buffer. If an RF data packet is received, and the serial transmit buffer does not have enough space for all of the data bytes, the entire RF data packet will be discarded. Transparent Operation When operating in Transparent Operation, the modu les act as a serial line replacement. All UART data received through the DIN pin is queued up fo r RF transmission. When RF data is received, the data is sent out the DOUT pin. The module conf iguration parameters are configured using the AT command mode interface. (See RF Module Operation --> Command Mode.) Serial-to-RF Packetization
Data is buffered in the serial receive buffer until one of the fo llowing causes the data to be packetized and transmitted: No serial characters are received for the amount of time determined by the RO (Packetization Timeout) parameter. If RO = 0, packetizat ion begins when a ch aracter is received. The maximum number of characters that will fit (256) in an RF packet is received. The Command Mode Sequence (GT + CC + GT) is re ceived. Any character buffered in the serial receive buffer befo re the sequence is transmitted.



### API Operation
API (Application Programming Interface) Operation is an alternative to the default Transparent Operation. The frame-based API extends the level to which a host application can interact with the networking capabilities of the module. When in AP I mode, all data entering and leaving the module is contained in frames that define op erations or events within the module. Transmit Data Frames (received through the DIN pin (pin 3)) include: • RF Transmit Data Frame • Command Frame (equival ent to AT commands) Receive Data Frames (sent out the DOUT pin (pin 2)) include: • RF-received data frame • Command response • Event notifications such as reset, etc. The API provides alternative means of config uring modules and routing data at the host application layer. A host application can send data frames to the module that contain address and payload information instead of using command mode to modify addresses. The module will send data frames to the appl ication containing status packets; as well as source, and payload information from received data packets. The API operation option facilitates many operations such as the examples cited below: ->Transmitting data to multiple dest inations without entering Command Mode ->Receive success/failure status of each transmitted RF packet ->Identify the source address of each received packet

To implement API operations, refe r to the API Operation chapter 6.

# Modes of Operation

Idle Mode
When not receiving or transmitting data, the RF mo dule is in Idle Mode. During Idle Mode, the RF module is also checking for valid RF data. The module shifts into the other modes of operation under the following conditions: • Transmit Mode (Serial data in the serial receive buffer is ready to be packetized) • Receive Mode (Valid RF data is received through the antenna) • Command Mode (Command Mo de Sequence is issued) 

### Transmit Mode

When serial data is received and is ready for packetization, the RF module will exit Idle Mode and attempt to transmit the data. The destination address determines which node(s) will receive the data. If a route is not known, route discovery will take place for the purpose of establishing a route to the destination node. If a module with a matching network address is not discovered, the packet is discarded. The data will be transmitted once a ro ute is established. If route discovery fails to establish a route, the pack et will be discarded. Transmit Mode Sequence

When data is transmitted from one node to another, a network-leve l acknowledgement is transmitted back across the esta blished route to the source node . This acknowledgement packet indicates to the source node that the data pack et was received by the destination node. If a network acknowledgement is not received, the sour ce node will re-transmit the data. See Data Transmission and Routing in chapter 3 for more information. 

### Receive Mode
If a valid RF packet is rece ived, the data is transferred to the serial transmit buffer

### Command Mode
To modify or read RF Module parameters, the module must first enter into Command Mode - a state in which incoming serial characters are interpreted as co mmands. Refer to the API Mode section for an alternate means of configuring modules. AT Command Mode
To Enter AT Command Mode: Send the 3-character command sequence “+++” and observe guard times before and after the command characters. [Refer to the “Defau lt AT Command Mode Sequence” below.]
Default AT Command Mode Sequence (for transition to Command Mode): • No characters sent for one second [GT (Guard Times) parameter = 0x3E8] • Input three plus characters (“+++”) within on e second [CC (Command Sequence Character)

parameter = 0x2B.] • No characters sent for one second [GT (Guard Times) parameter = 0x3E8] All of the parameter values in the sequence can be modified to reflect user preferences.

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 in terface data rate of the RF module. By default, the BD parameter = 3 (9600 bps).

To Send AT Commands: Send AT commands and parameters using the syntax shown below.

Syntax for sending AT Commands

To read a parameter value stored in the RF module’s register, omit the parameter field. The preceding example would change the RF module Destination Address (Low) to “0x1F”. To store the new value to non-volatile (long term) memo ry, subsequently send the WR (Write) command. For modified parameter values to persist in the mo dule’s registry after a reset, changes must be saved to non-volatile memory using the WR (Write) Command. Otherw ise, parameters are restored to previously saved va lues after the mo dule is reset. System Response. When a command is sent to the modu le, the module will parse and execute the command. Upon successful execution of a command, the module returns an “OK” message. If execution of a command results in an erro r, the module returns an “ERROR” message. To Exit AT Command Mode: 1. Send the ATCN (Exi t Command Mode) command (fol lowed by a carriage return). [OR] 2. If no valid AT Commands are received wi thin the time specified by CT (Command Mode Timeout) Command, the RF module au tomatically returns to Idle Mode.
For an example of programming the RF module using AT Commands and descriptions of each configurable parameter, refer to the "C ommand Reference Tables" chapter.

# 3. XBee
‐ PRO® DigiMesh 900

DigiMesh Networking
Mesh networking allows messages to be routed through several different nodes to a final destination. DigiMesh firmware al lows OEMs and system integrators to bolster their networks with the self-healing attributes of mesh networking. In the event that one RF connection between nodes is lost (due to power-loss, environmental obstructions, etc.) critical data can still reach its destination due to the mesh networking capabilities embedded inside the modules. 

# DigiMesh Feature Set
DigiMesh contains th e following features

• Self-healing

Any node may enter or leave the network at any time without causing the network as a whole to fail.

• Peer-to-peer architecture

No hierarchy and no parent-child relationships are needed.

• Quiet Protocol

Routing overhead will be re duced by using a reactive protocol similar to AODV.

• Route Discovery

Rather than maintaining a network map, routes will be discovered and created only when needed.

• Selective acknowledgements

Only the destination node wi ll reply to route requests.

• Reliable delivery

Reliable delivery of data is accomp lished by means of acknowledgements.

• Sleep Modes

Low power sleep modes wi th synchronized wake are supported, with variable sleep and wake times. 

# Data Transmission and Routing
Unicast Addressing
When transmitting while using Unicast communications, reliable delivery of data is accomplished using retries and acknowledgemen ts. The number of retries is de termined by the NR (Network Retries) parameter. RF data packets are sent up to NR + 1 times and ACKs (acknowledgements) are transmitted by the re ceiving node upon receipt. If a netw ork ACK is not received within the time it would take for a packet to traverse the network twice, a retransmission occurs. To send Unicast messages, set the DH and DL on the transmitting module to match the corresponding SH and SL parameter values on the receiving module. 

### Broadcast Addressing

Broadcast transmissions will be re ceived and repeated by all nodes in the network. Because ACKs are not used the originating node will send the broadcast four times. Essentially the extra transmissions become automatic retries without ac knowledgments. This will result in all nodes repeating the transmission four ti mes as well. In order to avoid RF packet collisions, a random delay is inserted before each node relays th e broadcast message. (See NN parameter for details on changing this random dela y time.) Sending frequ ent broadcast transmissions can quickly reduce the available network bandwidth an d as such should be used sparingly. The broadcast address is a 64 bit address with the lo west 16 bits set to 1. The upper bits are set to 0. To send a broadcast transmission set DH to 0 and DL to 0xFFFF. In API mode the destination address would be set to 0x000000000000FFFF.

### XBee

‐ PRO® 900 OEM RF Modules

### Routing

A module within a mesh network is able to determ ine reliable routes using a routing algorithm and table. The routing algorithm us es a reactive method derived from AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector). An associative routing table is used to map a destinatio n node address with its next hop. By sending a message to the next ho p address, either the message will reach its destination or be forwarded to an intermediate node which will route the message on to its destination. A message with a Broadcast address is broadcast to all neighbors. All receiving neighbors will rebroadcast the message and eventu ally the message will re ach all corners of the network. Packet tracking prevents a node from resending a broadcast message twice. 

### Route Discovery

If the source node doesn’t have a route to the requested destination, the packet is queued to await a route discovery (RD) process. This process is also used when a route fails. A route fails when the source node uses up its network retries without ever receiving an ACK. This results in the source node initiating RD. RD begins by the source node broadcasting a route re quest (RREQ). Any node that receives the RREQ that is not the ultimate destinat ion is called an intermediate node. Intermediate nodes may either drop or forward a RREQ, depending on whether the new RREQ has a better route back to the source node. If so, in formation from the RREQ is saved and the RREQ is updated and broadcast. When the ul timate destination receives the RREQ, it unicasts a route reply (RREP) back to the source node along the path of the RREQ. This is do ne regardless of route quality and regardless of how many ti mes an RREQ has been seen before. This allows the source node to receive multiple route replies. Th e source node selects the route with the best round trip route quality, which it will use for the queued pa cket and for subsequent packets with the same destination address. 

### Sleeping Routers
Sleeping routers under DigiMesh al lows for all nodes in the networ k to synchronize their sleep and wake times. All synchronized nodes enter and exit a low power state at the same time. This forms a cyclic sleeping network. Nodes synchronize by receiving a special RF packet called a synch message which is sent by a sleep coordinator. Any node in the network can become a sleep coordinator through a process called nomination . The sleep coordinator will send one synch message at the beginning of each wake period. The synch message being a broadcast packet is repeated by every node in the network. There are two modes of operation: SM0 - Normal (default) SM4 - Cyclic Sleep (low power) A network should consist of nodes operating in th e same mode. Mesh route discovery, and thereby routing, is incompatible between nodes operatin g in different modes. Ho wever, during network setup and maintenance, a mix of nodes is useful, and can be tolerated provided route discovery is not attempted. Sleep Mode A node in cyclic sleep mode sl eeps for a programmed time, wake s in unison with other nodes, exchanges data and synch messages, and then return s to sleep. While asleep, it cannot receive RF messages, neither will it read commands from the UART port. Sleep and wake times are set by SP and ST respectively. These paramete rs must be set the same for all nodes in the network. If D7 = 1 (CTS Flow control) CTS is de-asserte d while asleep, and asserted while awake. An unsynched sleeping node, newl y powered, will wake and poll for a synch message and then return to sleep, repeating the cycle until it becomes synched by receiving a synch message. Once synched, the node will wake to exchange messages fo r the programmed time interval and then return to sleep.

### XBee

‐ PRO® 900 OEM RF Modules

© 2008 Digi International, Inc. 17 Normal Mode
Normal mode is the default mode for a newly powered on node. In th is mode a node will not sleep, but will synchronize to a sleeping network. When synchronized a normal node can aid in setting up and maintaining a synchronized network by respon ding to synch message requests from nodes in cyclic sleep mode (SM4) by sending a special unicast synch message. Note : Although a normal node can synchronize to a sleeping network, it will not defer data transmission during sleep. A norm al mode node synchronized to a sleeping network can be used for maintenance purpos es such as adding new nodes to the sleeping networks. 

### Operation

Nomination Nomination is the process where a node becomes a sleep coordinator at the start of a sleeping network or in the event a sleep coordinator fails as a replacement. This process is automatic with any sleeping node being eligible to become the sleep coordinator fo r the network. This process can be managed through SO by allowing a node to al ter the algorithm used fo r nomination giving the node a greater chance to become the sleep coordinator. This option is designed for maintenance purposes and is not necessar y for cyclic sleep operation. If the node has the preferred sleep coordinator opti on-enabled (SO=1), then it will poll during its first cycle for a synch message. If it becomes sy nched by receiving a synch message, it will cycle back to sleep and will not become the sleep coordinator. If it does not become sync hed during that first cycle, then it will nomina te itself as the sleep coordina tor and will start sending synch messages at the start of its second cycle. Any sleeping node, if it does not receive a message for three cycles, may nominate itself to act as a replacement sleep coordinator. Depending on the platform and ot her configured options, such a node will eventually nominate itself after a numb er of cycles without a synch. If preferred sleep coordinator option is enabled, a sleeping node will nominate it self immediately after one cycle without a synch message. Election If multiple nodes nominate themselves at the same time, then an election will take place to resolve which node will function as the network's sl eep coordinator. A node wi ll disable synching if it receives a synch mess age from a senior node. A node running in normal mode (with preferred sleep coordinator option enabled) is senior to an y node operating in sleep mode. A node with the largest MAC address value is senior to an y other node operating in the same mode. Preferred Sleep Coordinator Option The preferred sleep coordinator option is • SO = 1 - preferred sleep coordinator. Enabling this bit will cause a node operating in normal mode to ac t as a sleep coordinator or cause a sleeping node to nominate itself after one cycle without receiving a synch message. Setting a normal mode node to act as a sl eep coordinator can be used to start a network. After the network is set up the normal node can be turned off if no longer needed . A sleeping node, after several cycles, will elect itself as the sleep coordinator. Designating a cyclic sleep mode node as a preferred sleep coordinato r is useful where a node or nodes are conveniently positioned for maintenance. It is also useful when enabled on a centrally located node to minimize the number of hops a synch message must take to get across the network. Programming Sleep Time Intervals The commands for programming sleep time intervals are • SP - sleep time • ST - wake time. Starting a Sleeping Network By default, all new nodes operate in normal mode. To start a sleeping network, follow these steps:

### XBee

The idea is to set these values short enough so that commands can be sent quickly throughout the network which will set a longer sleep cycle. 2. Next, power on the othe r nodes within range of the sleep coordinator. The nodes will receive the synch message and synchronize themselves to the short cycle SP and ST. 3. Configure one or more of the nodes with the preferred sleep coordinator option. Since they are already synched and in range of the sleep coordinator, they will not nominate themselves. 4. Configure the nodes which do not have the pr eferred sleep coordinato r option enabled with SM4, putting them into cyclic sleep mode. 5. Reconfigure the sleep coordinator to the SP and ST values selected for the deployed network. 6. Wait a cycle for the sleeping nodes to sync h themselves to the new SP and ST values. 7. Deploy the sleeping no des to their positions. 8. Reconfigure the sleep coordinator node with SM 4 to operate in sleep no de and deploy the node. Maintaining a Network Use the following tasks to help maintain a netw ork: adding a node--both normal and sleeping, changing sleep parameters, and rejoin ing subnets operat ing out of synch. Adding a Normal Node To add a node to an existing network: Power on the new node and deploy it within range of a node in th e network. If there is a sleep coordinator in the network, the new node will pick up the message when it is broadcast. Through the synch message it will become aware of the network's wake and sleep time intervals, and the time the next cycle will begin. Adding a Sleeping Node Adding a sleeping node to an existing network of sleeping nodes is easier if you use a node operating in normal mode as an assist. 1. Set up a normal node in range of another node in the network. 2. Wait a cycle time for the normal node to synch with the network. 3. Configure the sleeping node with the comman d ATSM4, write the mode to the configuration with ATWR, and reset the node. 4. Place the new sleeping node in range of the normal node. As the sleeping node wakes, it realizes it is unsynched, and w ill request a synch message. The normal node will then respond with a special unicast synch special unicast synch message. The new sleeping node will adjust its configuration to match the synch me ssage's contents, and a cycle later will wake in synch with the rest of the sleeping network.

© 2008 Digi International, Inc. 19 Changing Sleep Parameters Use the following steps to change sleep parameters: 1. Enter the SP command with the sleep time interval represented in units of 10 msec. 2. Enter the ST command with the wake time interval represented in units of 1 msec. 3. Verify the values of the SP and ST commands. Note : the value of the ST configuration parameter will be automatically adjusted to a minimum effective value if the value of SP is increased enough. However, ST will not be automatically adjusted downwards should the value of SP be decreased. Enter the apply changes command AC. At the start of the next cycle, a special overri ding synch message will be broadcast across the network. It will override an y synch message coming from any sleep coordinator. Then, a cycle later, the network will wake and operate according to the new ST and SP values. Rejoining Subnets Mesh networks get their robustne ss from taking advantage of routing redundancies which may be available in a network. It is recommended to architect the network with redundant mesh nodes to increase robustness. If a scenario exists such that the only route connecting a subnet to the rest of the network depends on a single node, and that node fails--or the wireless link fails due to changing environmental conditions (catastrophic failure condition), then multiple subnets may arise while using the same wake and sleep intervals, but out of phase with each other due to clock drift. The first task is to repair , replace, and strengthen the weak link with new and/or redundant nodes so this problem doesn't aris e again. The second task is to get the subnets back in phase (rejoin subnets). To get the subnets back in phase, follow these steps: 1. Power up a node in normal mode , and position it next to a node in the subnet you want to use as a reference. 2. Wait a cycle (plus a bit more for safety margin) for it to synch with the network. 3. Enable its preferred sleep coor dinator option. This node will now become the sleep coordinator for the network. A synch from a normal node ov errides synch messages from any sleeping node and will cause any sleep coordinator no de to disable its own synch message. To place each out-of-phase sleeping node, follow these steps: 1. Place the sleep coordinator node in range of the sleeping node an d toggle power for the sleeping node off and back on. 2. When the sleeping coordinator no de powers up, it sees that it is out of synch, and requests a synch message. The sleep coordinator node will re ceive the request and tran smit a special unicast synch response. The sleeping node will return to sleep and wake again in synch with the rest of the network. 3. Power down and store away th e normal node for safe keeping.

# 5. API Operation

As an alternative to Transparen t Operation, API (Application Programming Interface) Operations are available. API operation requires that comm unication with the modu le be done through a structured interface (data is co mmunicated in frames in a define d order). The API specifies how commands, command responses and module status messages are sent and received from the module using a UART Data Frame. 

### API Frame Specifications
Two API modes are supported and both can be en abled using the AP (API Enable) command. Use the following AP parameter values to configure the module to operate in a particular mode: • AP = 1: API Operation • AP = 2: API Operation (w ith escaped characters) API Operation (AP parameter = 1) When this API mode is enabled (AP = 1), the UA RT data frame structure is defined as follows: UART Data Frame Structure:

MSB = Most Significant Byte, LSB = Least Significant Byte Any data received prior to the start delimiter is silently discarded. If th e frame is not received correctly or if the checks um fails, the module will reply with a module status frame indicating the nature of the failure. API Operation - with Escape Characters (AP parameter = 2) When this API mode is enabled (AP = 2), the UA RT data frame structure is defined as follows: UART Data Frame Structure ‐ with escape control characters:

MSB = Most Significant Byte, LSB = Least Significant Byte Escape characters . When sending or receiving a UART data frame, specific data values must be escaped (flagged) so they do not interfere with the data fr ame sequencing. To escape an interfering data byte, insert 0x7D and follow it with the byte to be escaped XOR’d with 0x20.

### XBee

© 2008 Digi International, Inc. 26 Data bytes that need to be escaped: • 0x7E – Frame Delimiter • 0x7D – Escape • 0x11 – XON • 0x13 – XOFF

Note: In the above example, the length of the raw data (excluding the checksum) is 0x0002 and the checksum of the non-escaped data (excluding frame delimiter and leng th) is calculated as: 0xFF - (0x23 + 0x11) = (0xFF - 0x34) = 0xCB.
Checksum To test data integrity, a checksum is ca lculated and verified on non-escaped data. To calculate : Not including frame delimiters and length , add all bytes keepin g only the lowest 8 bits of the result and subt ract the result from 0xFF. To verify : Add all bytes (inc lude checksum, but not the delimiter and length). If the checksum is correct, the sum will equal 0xFF.


### API Frames

Frame data of the UART data frame form s an API-specific structure as follows: UART Data Frame & API

‐ specific Structure:

The cmdID frame (API-identifier) indicates which API messages will be contained in the cmdData frame (Identifier-specific data). Note that mult i-byte values are sent big endian. The modules support the following API frames:

Example - Raw UART Data Frame (before escaping interfering bytes): 0x7E 0x00 0x02 0x23 0x11 0xCB 0x11 needs to be escaped which results in the following frame: 0x7E 0x00 0x02 0x23 0x7D 0x31 0xCB
