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.

thank you very much

link of the circuit and configurations:

The product you are using does not support GPIO line passing. You must use the XBee 802.15.4 modules for that function.
