Device Operations
The Device Operations page is used to perform several tasks on nodes. The operations displayed
depend on the network type and node type.
Identify Device
The Identify Device operation is available for XBee ZB, XBee Smart Energy, and XBee DigiMesh
nodes, but not for XBee 802.15.4 nodes. This operation causes the node to flash its association
LED for a specified amount of time. This operation can be useful in locating a node among a large
array of nodes. Specify the amount of time and click Identify Device.
Reset Device
For all node types except a gateway, two reset device operations are available.
Software Reset: A software reset resets the device without using the hardware reset
button/function. If the scan channels or PAN ID were modified since the last reset, a
network reset is performed as well. (This operation is performed in the XBee module by
executing the AT command FR.)
Network Reset: A network reset will cause the device to reset its network configuration
information, reset, and rejoin a network. A network reset is available for XBee ZB,
XBee Smart Energy, and XBee DigiMesh nodes, but not for XBee 802.15.4 nodes. (This
operation is performed in the XBee module by executing the AT command NR=0.)
Caution: A network reset may cause a node to no longer be accessible from this
gateway.
Backup and Restore Configuration
The XBee RF module configuration settings for nodes can be saved to a backup file and used to
restore the configuration settings if the need ever arises.
The Backup operation saves the node’s XBee RF module configuration settings to a file. The
resulting backup file is a .pro file that is compatible with the X-CTU configuration tool. This
means that backup files can be saved or loaded from the XBee RF module using X-CTU as well as
the gateway’s command line or web interfaces.
The Restore operation sets the node’s XBee RF module configuration settings to those in the
specified .pro file.
Caution: A restore operation may cause the device to reset its network information, reset, and
rejoin a network. It may no longer be accessible from this gateway.
