Setting up and Configuring Arduino with XBEE using XBEE shield

1. Setting up Arduino:
For bypassing the Arduino chip put a jumper wire which will connect GND and
RESET.
2. Interfacing XBEE with Arduino:
Connect XBEE chip with Arduino using XBEE shield. Now connect the Arduino
with your computer using A to B usb connector.
3. Configuring XBEE:
Using X-CTU software check which COM Port is available i.e to which
port your Arduino is connected.
Set the baud rate to 9600.
Now click on Test/Query button to check the connectivity.
Now click on Modem Configuration button and check mark Always
update firmware.
Now click Read button to upload current settings.
Check the Modem XBEE to same at the back of XBB i.e XB24-ZB.
Check the Function Set to ZIGBEE COORDINATOR AT because we
are configuring the first COM Port as coordinator.
Set PAN ID to any 4 digit number and when configuring other XBEE
same number should be used.
Click on Node Identifier and write COORDINATOR in it. It can be any
name.
In Serial Interfacing modify the baud rate to 3(9600).
Set the Serial High and Serial Low of A module as Destination
High and Destination Low of B module respectively and vice versa.
Now click on Write button to write the settings.
Repeat the same procedure for the module B when configuring. But
use Function Set as ZIGBEE ROUTER AT.
Same PAN ID should be used as in case of module A.
Set the Destination High and Destination Low of B module as
Serial High and Serial Low of A module.
Now click Write button to write the settings.
Now open the Terminal window and write some text to make sure
both modules are communicating with each other.
To enter Command mode write +++ now within 10 seconds write
ATSL, ATSH, ATDL and ATDH to verify the associated serial
number of both modules.
