I have my xbee configured with 9600 bps.

And serial communication setting is 8-N-1(8 data bits,NO parity,1 Stop bit)

But I need to change it to 7-E-1(7 data bits,Even Parity,1 Stop Bit)

I got answer that xbee pro s1,s2,s2b,s2c module do not support this 7-E-1 data format.

Then which modules can be configured with this data format and how?

You would need to use the xtend Rev B or XTC product.
