Digi XBee® 3 Zigbee® RF Module

Receive mode
When data is received over the air, the device sends the data out the serial port.
You can use the AP and AO parameters to adjust the format and types of messages that are emitted
out of the serial port. Depending on your needs, you can adjust the amount of information that you
receive.
By default, the device operates in Transparent mode where the the device will only output the payload
of received packets. In API modes, the entire packet is emitted, and AO adjusts whether raw ZDO
messages should be emitted.
Sleep mode
Sleep modes allow the device to enter states of low power consumption when not in use. The XBee 3
Zigbee RF Module supports both pin sleep (Sleep mode entered on pin transition) and cyclic sleep
(device sleeps for a fixed time).
Sleep modes allow the device to enter states of low power consumption when not in use. The device is
almost completely off during sleep, and is incapable of sending or receiving data until it wakes up.
XBee devices support pin sleep, where the device enters sleep mode upon pin transition, and cyclic
sleep, where the device sleeps for a fixed time.
