Hi,
Please refer the ZigBee product manual at the following link, http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90000976_K.pdf ,which gives you clear idea about ZigBee networks.
1.How the other Zigbee device join with this gateway.
There are few parameters like PAN ID and SC which should be set same on all devices as the Gateway. For the first time, set PAN ID to some value and SC to maximum (to scan all channels) and perform Node Discovery, you will get the other devices in the WEB UI of the Gateway (Under XBee Networks). Then set same PAN ID on the devices(the value what you have set for Gateway).
2.Is there any Zigbee API for further development in python?
There are some well defined API frames for ZigBee devices which is documented in the ZigBee product manual, you can also use Digi API Frame Maker at the below link, http://ftp1.digi.com/support/utilities/digi_apiframes.htm
3.Can you tell me the proper firmware which supports Zigbee for this product.
You can find the firmware details at digi website, http://www.digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=5029&type=firmware
4.Is it use any key for joining?
Please refer the chapter 3 of the product manual at the given link, which provides detailled information regarding ZigBee networks.
