Is there any way I can configure a XB24C (SMT) module without a development board provided by Digi? I used a blank Arduino to set a XBee Pro S1 before, but using the same way; that is, connecting Pin 1 to GND, Pin 2 to Vcc=3.3V, Pin 3 to Arduino Rx, Pin 4 to Arduino Tx, I cannot find the device using XCTU. ---

Try using an Arduino shield. Just understand that XCTU wants the hardware flow control lines connected as well which the Shields don’t offer. ---

Is there a shield for the SMT version also? I cannot find one ---

I am not aware of any specially designed for the SMT. But you can solder on headers to the SMT and mount it on a standard shield or Xbee socket.
