Digi XBee3 Cellular LTE-M Cellular Module Patch and Maintenance Release via
EasyFlash Firmware Update
Step 1: Configure the XBIB-CU-
TH board
90002353_C 2
nEnsure solid uninterrupted power. Power loss during update may cause corrupted modem
firmware.
nThe EasyFlash update should be done with the radio at factory settings.
lThe radio's parameters as read through the graphical interface of the XCTU can be set to
factory defaults and then written to the module. If a module is brand new, then this step is
not needed since it will already be at these settings.
Step 1: Configure the XBIB-CU-TH board
Enable the USB direct connect switches on XBIB-CU-TH development board. The switches must be
switched to the left of the board, as shown below.
Note This procedure requires USB direct and therefore cannot be performed on the XBIB-U-DEV
development board.
Step 2: Configure XBee3 Cellular LTE-M module.
1. Connect the USB Type-C cable to the USB 3.0 port on the bottom edge of the development
board. The USBhost must support USB 3.0, as this board requires the higher current supplied
by USB 3.0.
