Find your device under the Ports (COM & LPT) section, right-click and select properties.

Once your module is plugged back into your computer, we will need to change some settings in the Device Manager so go ahead and open your computers Device Manager.

What I have done instead of soldering a jumper is I have put right angle headers on my Dongle and just used a pin head jumper but any method of connecting the two pins will work.

We will need a jumper between pin D3 and RTS.

Once this is done we can go ahead and click 'Write' to update the module.

The 'PAN ID', 'Interface Data Rate', and 'Packetization Timeout' settings are all going to be the exact same as we did for the receiver.

The default baud rate will be 9600 unless it has been previously changed. Once you have the transmitting Xbee in your Xbee Explorer Dongle and it is plugged into your computer, go ahead and read the data from it as we did with the previous one. Note: Each Xbee can be either a transmitter or a receiver, there are NOT different modules for each. Unplug the dongle and replace the receiver Xbee with the transmitter one. Now it's time to program the transmitter.

To check that the settings were loaded you can go back and change the baud rate on the main screen of the X-CTU software then do another read for your module. Click the 'Write' button and the new settings will be loaded onto your Xbee Module.Change 'I/O Output Enable to 0 - DISABLED.Turn DIO3 into an input by setting 'DIO3 Configuration' to 5 - DO HIGH.Set the 'Packetization Timeout' parameter to 10.Set the 'Interface Data Rate' to the baud rate that we determined in step 8.Remember the number that you use here as you will need it again for the transmitter. This is any 4 digit HEX number that will be used to link your two Xbees. In the X-CTU software, we will want to create a personalized PAN ID.Once you have this information, we can reconfigure our Xbee module. You can find that information here on my Blog Spot. Before changing anything, we need to find out what the upload speed is for our specific board.Click the 'Read' button to load in all of the current parameters for your Xbee module.Click on the 'Modem Configuration' tab in the X-CTU software.If you get an error message, check your COM port and make sure that your Xbee module is plugged in properly.Click the 'Test / Query' button to check that you have a good communication with the device.All other parameters should be the same as default.If this is a new Xbee, select the baud rate option for 9600, otherwise choose the appropriate.Choose the COM port from the list that corresponds to your Xbee Explorer Regulated.After the device has successfully installed, open the X-CTU software. Keep note of what COM port the installer says that the module is on.

Windows should automatically find and install the driver for it. After you have the X-CTU software installed, insert your receiving Xbee module onto the Xbee Explorer Dongle and insert it into an available USB port on your computer. The Receiving Xbee is going to be the one that will eventually plug into the Xbee Explorer Regulated which will be attached to the Arduino.
