I’m trying to get my XBee nodes (running ZB) to join a network hosted by a ZigBee-ethernet gateway, which is running Ember EZSP 3.2.0 on an Ember EM260.
What are the things to bear in mind when trying to get the XBee nodes to join a network hosted by the Ember coordinator? I’m aware of having to use the same stack protocol and public profile, is there anything else?
So far my XBee, as an end device fails to find any PANs- both are running ZigBee Pro but I am not sure about the public profile aspect.
Also, I have read that XBee ZB is based on Ember ZNet 3.x.x, is this correct?
Digi has published a whitepaper which compares it’s ZB API with the Ember 260 API (attached), can anyone offer some insight into this?
Please be aware that you need to set the Zigbee Stack Profile on the XBee ZB modules to “2” (ZS=2), otherwise the Digi XBee nodes will not be 100% OTA (Over-the-Air) compatible with ZIGbeePRO.
See also the product manual for further details.
Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried setting both devices, gateway and XBee module on mode 2/ZigBee pro, but no luck.
I’ve seen someone report that they got Ember EM250 nodes running ZNet 3 to talk to a Digi connectportX ZigBee gateway after some tinkering with packets, but that’s all I have to go on!

Hi John,
I suggest you contact support at digi directly through their online support portal. They will likely be able to help you and tell you which stack version is used with your firmware version on the XBee, which is also documented in the readme.txt when you manually download firmware upgrades for the XBee modules from the Digi Support website.
