ConnectPort X2 with Xbee 900HP Digimesh

Hi,

I’m trying to view frame data that is being delivered to a ConnectPort X2 from a network of Xbee 900HP DigiMesh radios configured in API1 mode. I can see the Tx/Rx lights flashing on ConnectPort and the ASSC light is flashing, so I think I’m close to seeing data somewhere. I’m guessing that I have to load a python script to the ConnectPort to send the packets on to a local port, but am struggling to understand the concepts and see some simple examples.

Can you please provide me with an example of how to configure the Connect Port to send e serial data on to a local socket?

Thanks.

“”"
XBee Hello World! demo for Digi devices

This example performs a "Hello, World!" message using the Digi proprietary 
mesh transport to a fixed node address.

“”"

import sys, os
import xbee
from socket import *

The Format of the tuple is:

(address_string, endpoint, profile_id, cluster_id)

The values for the endpoint, profile_id, and

cluster_id given below are the values used to write

to the serial port on an Ember-based XBee module.

DESTINATION=(“00:0d:6f:00:00:06:89:29!”, 0xe8, 0xc105, 0x11)

Create the socket, datagram mode, proprietary transport:

sd = socket(AF_XBEE, SOCK_DGRAM, XBS_PROT_TRANSPORT)

Bind to endpoint 0xe8 (232):

sd.bind((“”, 0xe8, 0, 0))

Send “Hello, World!” to the destination node, endpoint,

using the profile_id and cluster_id specified in

DESTINATION:

sd.sendto(“Hello, World!”, 0, DESTINATION)
