Compatibility Note:
XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 Modules are compatible with other devices that use XBee-PRO "DigiMesh 900" technology. These include ConnectPort X gateways, XBee-PRO Adapters, and other products when designated with the "DigiMesh 900" product name. Devices that do not have the "DigiMesh 900" product name, including Digi's line of ZB, DigiMesh 2.4, and 802.15.4 XBee products are not compatible with XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 Modules.
XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 hardware note: The XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 shares hardware with XBee-PRO 900. As a result, modules can be “converted” from one platform to another by loading different firmware onto a given module. Contact Digi Support for details.
