About Digi XBee Gateway

Digi XBee® Gateway provides a low-cost, programmable solution to connect networks of XBee-

enabled devices to IP networks. With a simple, open-source Python™ development environment, this

gateway enables custom applications to run locally while interfacing across existing Ethernet/Wi-

Fi/cellular networks for WAN connectivity to cloud-based software applications.

The XBee Gateway contains the XBeeZigBee product.

You can manage XBee Gateway products remotely via Digi Remote Manager®. Remote Manager

allows users to remotely manage thousands of deployed devices, supporting features like remote

firmware upgrades and event alarms.

Regulatory information and certifications

RF exposure statement

In order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance

between the antenna or antennas and the user should not be less than 20 cm.

FCC certifications and regulatory information (USA only)

FCC Part 15 Class B

Radio Frequency Interface (RFI) (FCC 15.105)

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices pursuant to

Part 15 Subpart B, of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

nReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

nIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.

nConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

nConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Labeling Requirements (FCC 15.19)

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)

this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

If the FCC ID is not visible when installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into

which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module FCC ID.

Modifications (FCC 15.21)

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Digi may void the user’s

authority to operate this equipment.
