Update the firmware over-the-air

The XBee 3 Zigbee RF Module supports firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates. To perform an FOTA

update, the device to be updated must be associated and communicable with a Zigbee network. In

this section, the node performing the update is considered the server and the node being updated is

the client.

Use XCTU to perform the FOTA update using the following process:

Add the device to XCTU 24

Update to the latest firmware 24
