Access Point -regarding

Hello.

Is it possible to provide linkIDs for Access point since if I use two access point and the end device is said to communicate with a particular access point.Is this possible with current SimpliciTI 1.0.6 version

Yes. There is a method in nwk_join.c that sets the Link Token distributed by the AP when an ED joins. It is a static routine so it is not public but if you look in that file you will find it referenced in the nwk_joinInit() routine. Currently the value is set to 0xDEADBEEF.

Version 1.1.0 is scheduled to be released by the end of this month. It will contain new ioctl accesses to both the Join and Link tokens to make it easier to change these at run time.

Hope this helps.

No changes need to be made to the ED. The idea is that when the ED joins the link token is distributed with the join-reply from the AP. This is part of the network access control scheme built into SimpliciTI, the other part being the Join token.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.I have few more queries,if I change the value 0xDEADBEEF to 0x01 how do I check the linkID of AP and in default what is the link ID of AP.If I place two access points in a room and I enable end device but I want to connect to 2nd AP only,later another ED it should connect to 1st AP.Is this method is possible.
