Zigbee Extension to Python socket API question

XBee & XBee Gateway XBee - Zigbee
1

Trying to communicate to the X2 using Python and calling the “socket” module. The app note says Digi has extended the standard Python socket. The command is:

from socket import *
DESTINATION=(“00:13:A2:00:40:68:04:BF!”, \ 0x5e, 0xc105, 0x703)

I keep getting a error “invalid token”. I am using the 16 digit Mac address of the X2, End Point 0x5e, profile ID 0xc105, Custer ID 0x703. I find these addresses on the iDigi appspot under the Network Tree.

Am I using the correct socket module that comes with Python ? Is there a unique Zigbee socket module somewhere ?

thanks

May be because of wrong syntax, try this

DESTINATION=(“00:13:A2:00:40:68:04:BF!”, 0xe8, 0xc105, 0x11)

The PC’s socket module will NOT work with this & cannot be used with (as example) a USB-based XBee.

This only works on a Digi gateway, and the ‘unique Zigbee socket module’ is actually not in Python, but is part of the Digi product RTOS.
