Hi friends

I’m trying to do a couple of Xbees communicate in AT mode, I could already operate.  
Now I’m trying to make them work in API mode, but I can not make the circuit attached.  
They “see” the network, but when I press the power button, nothing happens …  
One would have any idea what might be wrong with my setup?

Follows the circuit and settings of each module.

Yes, the product you are using does not support DIO line passing. You need to use the XBee 802.15.4 modules for DIO line passing.
