XBee Pro Series 2

[gigawhiteshadow]

Hi,


i have a problem with my XBee Shields (Hardware XBee Pro Series 2 60mW). I would like to reduce the transmitpower (ATPL) to 0. Default Value is 4. I am configuring my XBee Shields with the X-CTU Software. Function Set ist ZNet 2.5 Coordinator AT. I can not change the value in th PL field. It say that XBee Pro supports a fixed transmit Power. I have no clue what to do. I also tried to configure the Xbee Shield with the terminal:
+++ OK
ATPL
4
ATPL0
ERROR
ATPL 0
ERROR

Is that a common Problem, or what am i doing wrong?

Thanks for you help

It looks like the shield is working OK. The problem is with configuring the XBee. Adafruit doesn't carry the Series-2 modules. Have you tried the Digi support forums?

[gigawhiteshadow]

Nope i didn't, i will do that, but you have no clue what the problem could be?

[adafruit_support_bill]

Sorry, no. I've never worked with those modules or ATPL.

[gigawhiteshadow]

Ok, thanks anyway. I have posted in the forum you told me, hopefully they know what i can do. That problem is quite wired, because i can configure the shield normally. Only this value isn't configurable. If I get it fixed i will post it.

hi there, we dont sell or support the xbee shield or series 2 xbees. we suggest contacting the place you purchased these from for more support. thanks!

If you look at the command table, the Xbee Pros only have one option for the PL command, and that is '4.' You could try to use the PM command to turn off boost mode, but that will not change the output power of the radio.

WHy do you want to reduce the output power to 0.?
