A few days ago I posted about the Moltosenso Network Manager™ Bronze, for the low, low introductory price of EURO €25.00 or about USD $32.00 Moltosenso offered the upgraded Bronze release of their Moltosenso Network Manager™ SDK, the Cross Platform XBEE™ configuration utility.

This Bronze version included the same features as the Iron version, basic X-CTU features, available cross-platform on Mac, Windows and Linux, Network Discovery, AT Commands Tab, RSSI Tab and Terminal, that I wrote about a week earlier and than some more.

After talking with Marco Francesco Urso, the CEO of Moltosenso I decided to also check out their competitively priced Silver Release (€150 or about USD $185).

The Silver release is an affordable and very effective tool that in additional to all the features from the cheaper versions lets you easily get and set long list of commands on local and remote Digi International® modules, has the ability to create scripts to get and set parameters of connected or networked module using their easy to use wizard and also, in real-time, debug commands remotely issued to the XBEE nodes in an easy step-by-step fashion!

Checkout the Moltosenso YouTube Channel for some videos of  Moltosenso Silver in action:

Because it introduces the idea of automatic monitoring and actuation the Moltosenso Network Manager™ Silver release is a complete toolkit that can be used to remotely manage your whole XBEE WSAN.

Later this year Moltesenso plans to release a Gold version of their software, adding even more features. I am looking forward to reviewing that once it is released but in the mean time, check it out one of their current releases and let me know what YOU think!

Moltosenso in Italy just released a new configuration utility for Digi International’s XBee radios.

The software is available in several different version and the basic version is Free. It is available for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux platforms, and did I say that basic version is free?

The basic version basically does what X-CTU™ does on a windows box.

Finally something to configure your Xbee Modules from Mac OSX!

According to their web site, Moltosenso Network Manager™ IRON Includes the following features:

• full support to any API Operation mode (with and without escaped characters);
• get/set of the parameters of Digi International® modules plugged to the PC, both in API and AT mode;
• get/set of the parameters of Digi International® modules remotely addressable;
• an effective graphic test for RSSI parameter, especially tailored for XBEE™ modules;
• firmware upload (local and – where available – remote) for many supported Digi International® modules.

Seeing is believing, so I went ahead and downloaded the Iron 1.0 – Free version on my MBP and it works like a charm!
