Hi Chris,

I configured how you said me, but problem continued and the menssages tool really not detected nothing.
Is the problem at comunication between two modems XBee?
Could you teach me to set the parameters. I use two XBee modems for the comunication and the FTDI board (PPZUAV) for the link between the XBee and  the PC.  
Cheers
Pedro
