1. Overview
This manual describes the operation of the XBee/XBee-PRO ZB SMT RF module,
which consists of ZigBee firmware loaded onto XBee S2C and PRO S2C hardware.
XBee® and XBee-PRO® ZB SMT embedded RF modules provide wireless connec-
tivity to end-point devices in ZigBee mesh networks. Utilizing the ZigBee PRO
Feature Set, these modules are interoperable with other ZigBee devices, includ-
ing devices from other vendors. With the XBee®, users can have their ZigBee
network up-and-running in a matter of minutes without configuration or
addtional development.
The XBee®/XBee-PRO® ZB modules are compatible with other devices that use XBee® “ZB” technology. These include
ConnectPortX gateways, XBee® and XBee-PRO® Adapters, Wall Routers, XBee® Sensors, and other products with the
“ZB” name.

What’s New in 401x Firmware
• An alternative serial port is available using SPI slave mode operation.
• Six software images (Coordinator AT, Coordinator API, Router AT, Router API, End Device AT,
and End Device API) are combined into a single software.
• Fragmentation is now available in both API mode and transparent mode.
• P3 (DOUT), P4 (DIN), D8 (SleepRq), and D9 (On-Sleep) are now available for I/O sampling.
• Both pull-up and pull-down resistors can now be applied to pins configured for inputs.
