XBee Configuration
This information will be used in XCTU to configure XBee radios
Details
Below is a table of the essential values for configuring the XBee radios to work in a point-to-point network of two devices. In this configuration of one radio and one coordinator, the devices will send packets to the other member device in the network.

PAN ID
This sets the ID of the Zigbee network. It functions in a similar manner to that of an SSID in a Wi-Fi network. Both the coordinator and router(s) must share the same PAN ID in order to connect to the same network.
Destination High
This value sets the destination address for all packets that come through the device. This represents the first part of the Serial Number (AKA the Serial High) of the recipient device.
Destination Low
This value sets the destination address for all packets that come through the device. This represents the second part of the Serial Number (AKA the Serial High) of the recipient device.
One common trick to rebroadcast packets to all other devices is to leave this value at 0. By doing so, as long as any device has a DH that matches the Serial High of the recipient device, it will receive the packet.
