Hi,

Maximum how many number of xbeeseries 1 modules can be connected to form a mesh network. Which parameter in the XCTU needs to be changed to vary the maximum number of xbee connections.

Thank you

Different radios (ZB, DigiMesh, DM900) all have different network architectures. The maximum number of theoretical nodes is given in the product manual, however real-world considerations that need to be included in your design include \*how many hops between nodes, \*how often the nodes will communicate, \*the size of the messages, \*the timing for sleeping nodes, for detailed guidance contact Digi Solutions team to discuss your project.
