Xbee s1 sleeping with digital line passing

Question

My digital line passing works with 2 s1 xbees but once I set sm =1 the line passing functionality stops working. I tried different combinations setting pin 9 high/low and cts (Pin 12 I believe) high/low. I read in the manual cts needs to be set 2byte cycles prior to pin 9 set to ground. Can anybody explain how cts is involved and what I'm doing wrong. I've set sm back to 0 and the digital line passing works again.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Are you setting both modules to sleep mode or just one? If just one, is it the input or the output that is sleeping?

Answer 2

I Set the sender to sleep unless the digital in is turned on because it'll be running remotely on batteries. Receiver is not set in sleeping mode as it will be running off a power source and turning on a relay.

Answer 3

When using DIO line passing, hardware flow control is not used.

Can you be more specific as to what it is you are observing?
