Digi International Inc XBEEPRO2 Manual Do Utilizador

1. Node types that support the command: C = Coordinator, R = Router, E = End Device



EE

Encryption Enable. Set/Read the encryption enable setting.

CRE

0 - Encryption disabled
1 - Encryption enabled

0

EO

Encryption Options. Configure options for encryption. Unused option bits should be set 

to 0. Options include:
0x01 - Send the security key unsecured over-the-air during joins
0x02 - Use trust center (coordinator only

CRE

0 - 0xFF

NK

Network Encryption Key. Set the 128-bit AES network encryption key. This command 

is write-only; NK cannot be read. If set to 0 (default), the module will select a random 

network key. 

C

128-bit  value

0

KY

Link Key. Set the 128-bit AES link key. This command is write only; KY cannot be read. 

Setting KY to 0 will cause the coordinator to transmit the network key in the clear to 

joining devices, and will cause joining devices to acquire the network key in the clear 

when joining.

CRE

128-bit value

0



PL

Power Level. Select/Read the power level at which the RF module transmits conducted 

power. For XBee-PRO (S2B) Power Level 4 is calibrated and the other power levels are 

approximate. 

CRE

XBee
(boost mode disabled)
0 = -8 dBm
1 = -4 dBm
2 = -2 dBm
3 = 0 dBm
4 = +2 dBm

XBee-PRO (S2)
4 = 17 dBm
XBee-PRO (S2) 

(International Variant)
4 = 10dBm

XBee-PRO (S2B)
(Boost mode enabled)
4 = 18dBM
3 = 16dBm
2 = 14dBm
1 = 12dBm
0 = 10dBm
XBee-PRO (S2B)
(International Variant)
(Boost mode enabled)
4 = 10dBm
3 = 8dBm
2 = 6dBm
1 = 4dBm
0 = 2dBm

4

PM

Power Mode. Set/read the power mode of the device. Enabling boost mode will improve 

the receive sensitivity by 1dB and increase the transmit power by 2dB
Note: Enabling boost mode on the XBee-PRO (S2) will not affect the output power. Boost 

mode imposes a slight increase in current draw. See section 1.2 for details.

CRE

0-1, 



0= -Boost mode disabled, 

1= Boost mode enabled. 1

DB

Received Signal Strength. This command reports the received signal strength of the 

last received RF data packet. The DB command only indicates the signal strength of the 

last hop. It does not provide an accurate quality measurement for a multihop link. DB can 

be set to 0 to clear it. The DB command value is measured in -dBm. For example if DB 

returns 0x50, then the RSSI of the last packet received was 
-80dBm. As of 2x6x firmware, the DB command value is also updated when an APS 

acknowledgment is received.

CRE

0 - 0xFF
Observed range for
XBee-PRO:
0x1A - 0x58
For XBee:
0x 1A - 0x5C

PP

Peak Power. Read the dBm output when maximum power is selected (PL4).

CRE

0x0-0x12
