I have the same problem, after configuring my xbee s1 module in api mode when trying xctu to recognize it i get the following error:

could not find any device in COM 8>error initializing xbee device parameters>connection timeout >Could not read Hardware and Firmware version.

Using XCTU version 6.1.2

I had exactly the same issue,with xbee s1,using XCTU version 6.1.2.

Change from API mode,to AT.
What I did was installing the legacy version of XCTU and went to Modem Configuration>Serial Interfacing.

I also have same problem.Can anyone help us???

Hi, I’m facing the same problem as well after changing my Xbee S1 modules to API mode and connecting again to XCTU after a day. Any solution to this issue ?

Hello, I was just facing this problem today and found a workaround. I used PuTTY to set the AP mode to 0, and I could access the settings through XCTU again.

Concretely, in PuTTY under Serial tab, I changed the COM port and turned Flow control off, left the other defaults.
Once in, I typed the following:

+++
ATAP0
ATWR
ATCN

You should just see it respond with “OK”. Then you can close PuTTY and try to search for the module with XCTU.
