Use discovery tools to enable configuration changes

You can configure the button on the XBee Gateway device to control the length of time during which the Digi Device Discovery tool is available to display and change configuration settings.

Note If your firmware version is 3.2.30.x or later, the Digi Device Discovery tool is by default not allowed to change configuration of the XBee Gateway device. ADDP must have the Read-Write mode enabled in order for the button on the XBee Gateway device to control this feature.

To configure the button:

  1. Log into your Remote Manager account.
  2. Click the Device Management tab.
  3. From the device list, double-click the device to display the device properties menu.
  4. Verify that the Read-Write mode for ADDP is enabled.
    1. Click Network Services.
    2. From the Device Discovery Service (ADDP) Mode list box, select Read-Write.
    3. Click Save.
  5. Configure the button.
    1. Click Advanced Configuration > Button service assignments. The Button service assignments page appears.
    2. Choose between a no-time limit window and a five-minute time window:
      • Enable: When this feature is enabled and you press the button on the device, changes made using the Digi Device Discovery tool are restricted to a five-minute window.
      • Disable: When this feature is disabled and you press the button on the device, you can display configuration information and make changes using the Digi Device Discovery tool with a no-time limit window. This feature is disabled by default.
    3.  Click Save.

Note You will be prompted for a password when you change configuration settings using the Digi Device Discovery tool. Leave the field in the prompt blank and click OK.
