Can two EDs communicat with each other

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI

Hi friends,

I know that Ap can communicate with many EDs. Bus I want to EDs communicate with each other.

Can I achieve it?

Thank you

 

  • Hello.

    I assume you are talking about SimpliciTI.

    The answer is "yes". SimpliciTI is basically a connection-based peer-to-peer protocol. Even in the case when the AP communicates with many EDs each ED is represented by a unique peer on the AP. It looks like a typical star and topologically it is. But from the protocol perspective it is strictly peer-to-peer where half the peers are on the same device (AP).

    In the SimpliciTI distribution look at the "2 simple End Devices with bi-di" example. This is a simple case in which two EDs link and talk to each other. During the SimpliciTI protocol initialization the Join will fail (no AP) but it's a don't-care. The EDs can sill link provided they have the same link token.

    Hope this helps.
