Supported frames

Support for API frame types depends on the type of XBee you are using. The 802.15.4 XBee modules included in this kit support the following API frames:

Transmit data frames are sent through the serial input, with data to be transmitted wirelessly to remote XBees:

API ID

Frame name

Description

0x08

AT Command

Queries or sets parameters on the local XBee

0x09

AT Command Queue Parameter Value

Queries or sets parameters on the local XBee without applying changes

0x10

Transmit Request

Transmits wireless data to the specified destination

0x11

Explicit Addressing Command Frame

Allows Zigbee application layer fields (endpoint and cluster ID) to be specified for a wireless data transmission

0x17

Remote AT Command Request

Queries or sets parameters on the specified remote XBee module

0x21 Create Source Route Creates a source route in the module
0x24 Register Joining Device Registers a module with the Trust Center

Receive data frames are received through the serial output, with data received wirelessly from remote XBees:

API ID

Frame name

Description

0x88

AT Command Response

Displays the response to previous AT command frame

0x8A Modem Status Displays event notifications such as reset, association, disassociation, and so on.
0x8B Transmit Status Indicates wireless data transmission success or failure

0x90

Receive Packet Sends wirelessly received data out the serial interface (AO = 0)

0x91

Explicit Rx Indicator Sends wirelessly received data out the serial interface when explicit mode is enabled (AO 0)

0x92

IO Data Sample Rx Indicator Sends wirelessly received IO data out the serial interface
0x94 XBee Sensor Read Indicator Sends wirelessly received sensor sample (from a Digi 1-wire sensor adapter) out the serial interface
0x95 Node Identification Indicator Displays received node identification message when explicit mode is disabled (AO = 0)
0x97 Remote AT Command Response Displays the response to previous remote AT command requests
0x98 Extended Modem Status Displays what is happening during the association when Verbose Join is enabled (DC10)
0xA0 Over-the-Air Firmware Update Status Provides a status indication of a firmware update transmission attempt
0xA1 Router Record Indicator Displays the multiple route hopes after a Zigbee route record command
0xA3 Many-to-One Route Request Indicator Indicates a many-to-one route request is received
0xA5 Join Notification Status Indicates a module attempts to join, rejoin, or leave the network
