Another short tutorial I followed to send packet to XBee Arduino: http://www.desert-home.com/2012/10/using-xbee-library.html

You must download the XBee Library for Arduino!

• Connect the RX XBee to XCTU
• Get the High and Low 64 Bit Address and write it down. It should most likely be 0 if you didn't change the original settings. This is different from your PAN ID.

• Go to Arduino→File→Examples→XBee Library→Series2_Tx Example
• You must download it as a binary file
• Got to Arduino→Sketch→ Export File Binary
• Check it compiles
• Change the SH + SL Address of receiving XBee to the address you wrote down previously
• Check it compiles and upload to the Arduino
• Wire up board with Arduino and XBee (Make sure XBee TX goes to Arduino RX and XBee RX goes to Arduino TX)

• Open XCTU and go to the Console Log screen
• In Arduino, open the Serial Monitor
• You should receive a packet in XCTU and the XBee Serial Monitor should say it received data

CONGRATS! You sent a packet :D
