How can I change my xbee setup for AP = 0 from API mode (AP = 1 or AP =2) by using digi module in python ?

Question

I am using XBee PRO S3B for wireless radio communication.

Currently I am configuring it by XCTU, however, sometimes I need to reset or re configure with non graphical interface.

Using digi module with python seemed good alternative to me. So here is my source code.

```
import digi
from digi.xbee.devices import XBeeDevice
xbee0=XBeeDevice("/dev/ttyUSB0",9600)
xbee0.open(force_settings=True)
xbee0.reset()
```

In this way I can reset my destination mac address. However, there is one critical drawback using this method. xbee0.open() is only supported by API mode, however, I am always using AT mode. So the command force_settings=True enables my AT mode to change into API mode, however, I am not sure how can I get back to AT mode. My device only works with AT mode so I need to go back to AT mode to do something. Is there any good solution for this?

Answer 1

Why don't you just issue the local AT commands to enter command mode, change the address and exit command mode via Python?

I am not familiar with that method. Where can I find it?
