CC2530: Guarateered place for joining routers. Lowering the power threshold required to joining ZigBee network.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Good day! I am using Z-Stack Mesh 1.0.0. Here is a couple of questions:

1. How can I tune parent devices (Coordinator and Routers) in my network so that they can reserve a fixed number of places in their children's list to allow connection to them for routers only?

2. As I understand, first time joining to the ZigBee network can taking place only then signal from parent device, receiving by joining device is higher than some fixed level. Can I change this level to provide joining in longer distance?

1. Routers are neighbor devices, not children as this refers only to End Devices. This can be configured by NWK_MAX_ROUTERS and MAX_NEIGHBOR_ENTRIES from nwk_globals.h

2. It is recommended that these values not be changed, but for your reference: e2e.ti.com/.../

Ryan

Good day Ryan! Thank you very much for your answer. To reserve places for routers we've changed NWK_MIN_ROUTER_CHILDREN to desired value. As for our second issue this link e2e.ti.com/.../ helps well.
