I am working with the example genericapp with cc2530.

with this example I created a zigbee network:
ZC -> ZR -> ZD

With packet sniffer I see packets are sent between ZC and ZD through the ZR. This works perfect.

  But I want to create a zigbee network like this:

ZC -> ZR1 -> ZR2 -> ZD

The problem is that I want the message "hello world" pass through the two routers, but nevertheless creates a network like this:
  ZC -> ZR1 -> ZD
        -> ZR2

I can not bind two routers.

Could you help me?

that would have to change in Genericapp for binding two routers.

sorry for my bad English

best regards.

    I think that you are mis-using the term "binding" which is a ZDO fuctionality specified by ZigBee which relates to indirect messge routing. I think that you are just trying to get network hops, which is really hard with TI's great radios and their incredible Rx selectivity  ;)

    So, you can add attenuators to the antenna mount, you can cable the boards together instead of using RF over the air, or you can just move the ZC and the two ZR's really far away from each other.

    Also, you can connect Z-Tool to the ZC and put it in a disallow join mode, which will force ZR2 to join ZR1, but if your ZR2 is within radio range of the ZC, message routing will still not be what you want.

    Thank´s for the clarification Dirty Harry.

    How to connect Z-Tool to the ZC?

    How to put ZC in disallow join mode?

    I have to change any parameter in f8wConfig.cfg

    best regards

    Carlos.
