CC2652R: ZStack Inter Pan message not being received.

Hi,

I am trying to perform a InterPan message between two devices(both routers).

>> Device 1 - Factory New Router - PANID - 0xFFFF, set in SysConfig
I am able to send the InterPan message after performing (INTER_PAN defined)

StubAPS_RegisterApp( &zclLightstesterEpDesc );
StubAPS_SetInterPanChannel(21);

and am sending a broadcast message to PAN_ID 1234. I am able to capture the packet on the sniffer.

>> Device 2 - Factory New Router - PANID - 0x1234, set in SysConfig
Unable to receive the message. Have already registered the app as required and set the channel. ((INTER_PAN defined))

StubAPS_RegisterApp( &zclLightstesterEpDesc );
StubAPS_SetInterPanChannel(21);

The Primary channel is 21 as well and the Symbol INTER_PAN has been defined.

Mesasge being sent:

  uint8 msgBuf[4] = {1,2,3,4};
  uint8 msgBufLen = 4; 
  uint msgId = 0; 

  afAddrType_t dstaddr;
  dstaddr.addr.shortAddr = NWK_BROADCAST_SHORTADDR_DEVZCZR;
  dstaddr.addrMode = afAddrBroadcast;
  dstaddr.endPoint = STUBAPS_INTER_PAN_EP;
  dstaddr.panId = 0x1234;

  ZStatus_t status = zcl_SendCommand( 8, &dstaddr, CUSTOM_ZCL_CLUSTER_ID,
    CUSTOM_ZCL_COMMAND_APP_MSG, TRUE, ZCL_FRAME_CLIENT_SERVER_DIR,
    1, 0, msgId , msgBufLen, msgBuf);

Sent successfully

Please could you advise why I am not able to receive the INTER_PAN message. Are there any additional changes that need to be performed ?

Thanks

Hi Akhilesh,

Please provide the SIMPLELINK-CC13X2-26X2-SDK version you are currently evaluating. Can you also post a sniffer log and try performing the solution proposed in this E2E post and reply whether it resolves your issue? https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/zigbee-and-thread/f/158/t/921236

Hi Ryan,

Working on SDK 4.10.0.0.78

After a bit of research, it seems that Inter Pan messaging works only when the receiving device is already on a network(so has a PAN ID)
Is my understanding correct ?

My requirement was that I wanted to send a message to a factory new device, by setting a default PAN ID in SysConfig. After further testing it seems like the device will only join that PAN ID and is not in the PAN ID unless it pairs to a network with that PAN ID.

Is there anyway to message a factory new router device ? or to message devices not in any network ?

Thanks
Akhilesh

Hi Akhilesh,

Inter-PAN transmissions are allowed if the destination PAN ID and address are both broadcast/0xFFFF. Have you looked at whether Touchlink fits your design needs? http://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_4_20_00_35/docs/zigbee/html/zigbee/z-stack-overview.html#touchlink-commissioning

Otherwise you may need to consider proprietary radio communication before commissioning the device into a Zigbee network.

Ryan
