i am trying to know the Xbee module

I'm trying to make a connection a arduino with my pc with 2 xbee radio. Firstly some information for my devices. I use:

Both of these xbee are series 2. Can these radio to communicate with each other?
I have connected the first xbee with Explorer USB to my pc. the second xbee powered with 3.3 voltage. Also, the Dout pin goes to RX and Din goes to TX :
Xbee Arduino
Dout ---> RX
Din ---> TX

I have regulate the Xbee's with X-CTU Software and when I put "+++" in the terminal window I get "OK". However, I can't control the Arduino from my computer and I can not upload a program to Arduino Wirelessly ... What else should I do?
Thank you! Sorry for my bad english...

Can these radio to communicate with each other?

Yes, they can. But why you chose mesh-network models to do point-to-point communications escapes me. The series 1 models are far simpler to configure and use to point-to-point (i.e. just 2 modules) use.

Are the grounds connected?

There's more to configuring them than that.

However, I can't control the Arduino from my computer

With what code on the PC? With what code on the Arduino?

and I can not upload a program to Arduino Wirelessly

Forget this for a while. You have a lot to learn before this can happen.

What else should I do?

Answer some questions.

because I want the future to create a network with various devices, so I preferred this series... It was a bad choice?

Are the grounds connected?

Yes of course, VCC goes to 3,3V and Gnd goes to ground...

There's more to configuring them than that.

I uploaded the default items in my unit. If i put another command in the "terminal window" does not get any answer. Only when I send "+++" he answers "OK"...

With what code on the PC? With what code on the Arduino?

I saw this tutorial (http://www.penguincity.org/poe-tank/XBee%20setup.pdf). I upload the program normally at Arduino, but after X-CTU got no message back ...

I have a lot to learn yet!

Not if you plan to use more than 2. draythomp has more experience (and success) with series 2 that I. Hopefully, he'll be along soon.

I'll wait! I had a suspicion that these xbee's can not communicate with each other. Now I'm more peacefull. Thanks Paul!

When I select the baut rate to 115200, the Xbee seems to meet if i write a command in terminal window. I think that the reason that no working my communication is because the modem configuration in xctu is wrong.
What should I choose in the category "Function Set"?
