What general settings do I need to set up XBee3 with ZB3 PRO firmware as a coordinator to detect 3rd party ZB3 PRO?

Is it possible to get some settings to set up an XBee3 which has been loaded with Zigbee software to find other 3rd party ZB3 PRO devices on the network. These are the settings I am using
(CE 1, ZS 2, EE 1, KY 5A6967426565416C6C69616E63653039, AP 1, AO 3). When I click on the ‘discover radio nodes in the same network’ I don’t detect anything. I have set the device to ‘join’ the network.

I am not sure that ‘discover radio nodes in the same network’ is the right choice :slight_smile:
I am not sure why the digi help page suggested using 0x5A6967426565416C6C69616E63653039 as the link key (???)

I basically don’t know how to make my 3rd party device join the coordinator network so I can start building some frames to communicate with it. Any help here is appreciated. I am very new to this.

The link key you are referring to is for Home Automation Zigbee devices. You may not need the encryption function enabled for your 3rd party device.
