Hi, I purchased a ConnectPort X2 and I want it to discover an xbee device that’s located 3 feet away. Tried everything, without success. When I click on “Discover XBee Devices” button, it only finds itself. Here are the details: The XBee rev. B is connected to an XBee dev. board SBIB-U-DEV REV. 3. I ran X-CTU and I see the following parameters: Channel: E PAN ID: 3332 Firmware Version: 1084 Hardware Version: 1742 Type: End device X-CTU says the XBee firmware is up-to-date. The X2 has the following config: Extended Pan ID: 0x0000000000003332 PAN ID: 0x3332 - 0x0000000000003332 Channel: 0x0e (2420 MHz) Type: coordinator Scan channels: 0x1ffe Firmware Version: 2.14.0.7 Please help. - Alexander ---

X-CTU is lying to you! The latest firmware is 1xEC. Maybe you didn’t tell X-CTU to update its firmware list? I don’t think it will access the net unless you explicitly tell it to. Updating the firmware may or may not solve your problem but it’s a wise step to begin with. There have been a lot of improvements since 1084. ---

I updated the firmware to 1xEC but it didn’t help. Are there any instructions on how to use XBee with ConnectPort X2? An example with all settings in X-CTU would be helpful, too. The closest thing I found is this tutorial: [http://sites.google.com/site/xbeetutorial/xbee-introduction/zigbee\_setup](http://sites.google.com/site/xbeetutorial/xbee-introduction/zigbee_setup) It says: "For setup a ZigBee Network , it needs XB24-XXX or XBP24-XXX , such as XB24-B and XBP24-ZB. " Is that true? Are there different XBee versions for P-to-P and ZigBee? X-CTU identifies my modem as XB24. I tried changing Modem type to XB24-B or XB-24ZB but I got an error: “Incompatible function set selected for current module”, regardless of the function set I select. ---

Hi Alexander, I’m encountering the exact same problem. Have you had any progress with this issue? Thanks! ---

Hi, For setup a ZigBee Network , it needs XB24-XXX or XBP24-XXX , such as XB24-B and XBP24-ZB. " Is that true? Are there different XBee versions for P-to-P and ZigBee? Yes. ZigBee(XB24-B) and 802.15.4(XB24) are different protocols. They are not compatible with each other. Refer the following link, [http://www.digi.com/wiki/developer/index.php/XBee\_Product\_Codes#DD\_upper\_word\_:\_Module\_Type](http://www.digi.com/wiki/developer/index.php/XBee_Product_Codes#DD_upper_word_:_Module_Type) which helps you to understand the xbee product codes.
