We may want to consider having the dsm's send 'hb' heart-beat commands to the motes and re-enable xbee reset values (which only reset if there is no heart-beat received).

Noticing that Tom reported in the mote status that flr was having additional problems I logged in and rserial'd to the xbee's.
ID1 and 2 were reporting but not 17 as noted. I tried a 'hb<cr>' command and then a simple <cr> and 17 began reporting.
Further commands issued and normal responses were received.
Changed xbee reset timing: was xr=3600 (1hour), to xr=43200 (12hours). Maybe they should be turned off, however, what i notice is that things work much better after commands are received from the base radio, so we should consider the cron-'hb' i believe.

flr: The flr motes had outages last night and at least 2 rebooted. The setting above hadn't gotten 'eeupdate'd so i reset the xr=43200 and stored the setting. While interacting with them, id2, which had been 'down', again began sending data.
near: Daily status reported outage of the spn. All 3 were reporting when i logged in. I changed id3 to disable the xbee reset, xr=0, to match the other 2 and not be what appears to be problematic hourly resets. Gordon's cron 'hb' heartbeat is running so we might try setting xr=12hrs, but not yet.
