Your first transmission
In this section, you will send your first messages between two XBee modules. The first module will be attached to your computer through the XBee Explorer USB board, using the XCTU program to talk to it. To remove the need for a second Explorer board just for this example, the second module will be connected to an Arduino, which will simply print all data received through the serial monitor.
To let your XBee modules start a network, you will need to have exactly one coordinator module, and one or more router modules (the difference between these will be discussed later). XBee modules will usually default to being a router, so you will need to switch one into coordinator mode, as shown next.
