Addressing

XBee device addresses are similar to postal and email addresses for people. Some addresses are unique, like an email address, but others are not. For example, several people can live at the same postal address.

Each XBee device is known by several different addresses, each of which serves a purpose.

Type	Example	Unique
64-bit	0013A20012345678	Always
16-bit	1234	Yes, but only within a network
Node identifier	Bob's module	Uniqueness not guaranteed
