Add the device to XCTU
You must have a local device connected to your computer in order to perform firmware updates,
either to update local firmware through the serial connection or to use the local device to remotely
upgrade another device in the same network. With a local device properly attached to your computer,
follow these steps:
1. Add the local device attached to your computer to XCTU so it displays in the radio modules list.
2. Add the remote module in the network to XCTU:
a. Configure the local module you added to work in API mode.
b. Click Discover radio nodes in the same network to start a search for the remote
device.
c. When a remote device is found, it is listed in the Discovering remote devices
dialog.
d. Select the device and click Add selected devices. The remote device is added to
the radio modules list as a subordinate to the local device.
Update to the latest firmware
Firmware is the program code stored in the device's persistent memory that provides the control
program for the device. Use XCTU to update the firmware.
1.
Click the Configuration working modes button .
2. Select a local or remote XBee module from the Radio Modules list.

5. Click Update. A dialog displays update progress. Click Show details for details of the firmware
update process.
Note Once you add your device to the radio modules list in XCTU, the update process is exactly the
same whether it is a local or remote device.

request error, retry the update process.
