_x000D_ _x000D_ I want to test communication between Xbee Series 1 and TI CC2538. I built 802.15.4 protocol on CC2538 and i want to test whether it can transmit and receive data with Xbee Series 1 through XCTU. I tried to scan in XCTU program, but it couldn't find any device. I set scenario that CC2538 RF chip is coordinator and Xbee S1 is a device trying to associate PAN network. According to 802.15.4, device has to passive scan and receive beacon frame, after then, device should transmit association request mac command to coordinator which is CC2538. How Xbee series 1 through XCTU's scan button is working ? Does it wait for receiving Beacon frame or send beacon request or other frame ? Is there other way to test communication between Xbee s1 and CC2538 with 802.15.4 which i built ?

_x000D_ I assume you are not trying to run ZigBee protocol on the CC2538. The XBee Series 1 is 802.15.4 and you would need to use a Series 2 for ZigBee. You might need to use an 802.15.4 sniffer to monitor communications to see what's happening. Does the XBee module send a properly formatted association request? Can you capture another CC2538 successfully joining your network, and compare it to the XBee module's attempts to do so? Make sure that the XBee module is configured with ATSC (Scan Channels) set to enable whatever channel the CC2538 has established. I know that some XBee modules support an ATAS (Active Scan) command that will report on beacons seen, but I'm not sure whether the Series 1 supports that command. ATAI provides details on association. Can you enable debugging on the CC2538 and have it report on the XBee module's attempts to join the network?
