XBee RF Modems User Guide

The XBee RF Modem is an enclosed, compact solution that includes an XBee RF Module and supports

communication with systems using RS-232, RS-485, USB, analog input, and digital I/O interfaces. The

modem's on-board XBee RF module transmits and receives data from other devices on the same

wireless network, allowing you to easily make your existing wired systems wireless.

This user guide does not provide a comprehensive description of the XBee modules—it only covers the

interfaces and instructions of the XBee RF Modem. For an extensive guide on use of the XBee RF

Module being used on your modem, see the appropriate user guide listed below:
