API operation Sending ZigBee Device Objects (ZDO) commands with the API
XBee/XBee-PRO ZigBee RF Modules User Guide 140
The Explicit Transmit API frame (0x11) is used to send ZigBee Device Objects commands to devices in the
network. Sending ZDO commands with the Explicit Transmit API frame requires some formatting of the data
payload field.
When sending a ZDO command with the API, all multiple byte values in the ZDO command (API payload) (for
example u16, u32, 64-bit addresses) must be sent in little endian byte order for the command to be executed
correctly on a remote device.
For an API XBee to receive ZDO responses, the AO command must be set to 1 to enable the explicit receive API
frame.
The following table shows how the Explicit API frame can be used to send an “Active Endpoints” request to
discover the active endpoints on a device with a 16-bit address of 0x1234.
