NI (Node Identifier)

This command applies to the XBee/XBee-PRO Zigbee RF Module.

Stores the node identifier string for a device, which is a user-defined name or description of the device. This can be up to 20 ASCII characters.

• XCTU prevents you from exceeding the string limit of 20 characters for this command. If you are using another software application to send the string, you can enter longer strings, but the software on the device returns an error.

Use the ND (Network Discovery) command with this string as an argument to easily identify devices on the network.

The DN command also uses this identifier.

Parameter range

A string of case-sensitive ASCII printable characters from 0 to 20 bytes in length. A carriage return or a comma automatically ends the command.

Default

0x20 (an ASCII space character)
