Hi, you can’t change the value of ‘MY’. This address is assigned automatically while a module joines a network. The way to change the value of ‘DL’ depends on your firmware your module use. I recommend [Digi’s X-CTU](http://www.digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=3352). With this tool you can change the values of your module. ---

ohayougozaimasu, Since ZB is a ZigBee model, the value of MY cannot be changed so that Mr. awaiK may say. And more, when specifying the address of an addressee, a 64-bit extension address is specified also using DH together with DL. The specification procedure from AT command mode is as follows. ATDH13a200 ATDL12345678 ---

(sorry for language) Hello, to change the source address I read that this can only be done with API commands, it is true ? ---

You need to know the 64bit address of your XBee module you want to send data. ---

You also might want to check out Node Identifier addressing. Check the product manual for the following commands (or my book on page 202) that allow you to use ASCII text strings to identify and address the radios: ```auto ATNI ATND ATDN ``` ---
