Create a configuration profile

You can create a configuration profile from two different places within XCTU. You can either create a profile based on the configuration of an XBee device or create a profile from scratch.

Create a profile based on the configuration of an XBee device

The first way to create a profile is to create a representative model upon which to base the configuration profile and then save the profile. To do this, you need to have a radio module added in XCTU.

Note You only need to configure the values; it is not necessary to write the settings to the module.

To do so follow these steps:

  1. Switch to Configuration working mode .
  2. Select a radio module from the device list.
  3. Configure the radio module with your desired values.

  4. Click the Configuration profile's drop-down menu on the Configuration toolbar and select Create configuration profile.

  1. Create profile wizard displays.

Create a new profile from scratch

It is also possible to create a new profile without any pre-configured firmware or settings. To create a new profile from scratch:

  1. Launch the Profile editor tool by selecting Profile Editor from the Tools drop-down menu on the main toolbar.
  2. Click the Create button from the toolbar. The Create profile wizard displays.

In either case, the Create profile wizard displays. Follow the steps provided there to create the configuration profile.
