How to get the extended pan ID at the application layer, when a router joins into a new network with zstack (zigbee pro), ?

hi,

 When i set the coordinator's zgApsUseExtendedPANID to be {0x12,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 }, and router's to be all 0.

Then when the router joins into the network, how to get the extended pan ID at  the application layer?

Thanks!

    Extended PAN ID is used for joining a specific zigbee network and is specified by manufacture. If you don't have Extended PAN ID specified on your zigbee device, it will choose any one proper to join. However, the Extend PAN ID won't be changed on your zigbee device.

    hi,yikai

    I agree with you about  " it will choose any one proper to join".

    And after the router joined into the network, how could I get the extended PAN ID in the router code ?

    My application needs the  value of extended PAN ID .

    Thank you!

    As I said in my previous post, extended PAN ID is pre-programmed on zgApsUseExtendedPANID of your device. This value won't change no matter the device joins any zigbee network.

    hi,

    I am sorry I haven't described it correctly.

    Because the router can join into different networks setup by different coordinators,

    when network "A", the ext_pan_id may be "a",

    when network "B",   the ext_pan_id may be "b" ,

    and "C" , and "D" .....

    And my application code on the router wants to get the value  ,such as "a"  ,"b" , or "c" .

    How can I access it ?

    If you don't specify Extended PAN ID in your device, there would be no Extended PAN ID return in the NLME_beaconInd_t parameter of ZDO_beaconNotifyIndCB. You can only know which PAN ID the device joins.

    HI,

    Thanks YiKai,

    Just now I've found that the global variable "_NIB" contains the extended pan id , and many other network parameters.

    When "ZDO_STATE_CHANGED" , _NIB is filled with values, and the application gets the extended pan id from it.

    I wonder if there is some better way to do this ! Does Anyone know?

    Hi

    Where to check PAN ID in SmartZRf06EB ?

    we have connected SensorTAG to eval baord using JTAG

    Z stack sample switch code dumped in to Sensor tag

    pls. reply

    You can check it in _NIB.

    HI
    _NIB? not getting

    See, we have Sensor Node custom made ( same as Sensor Tag)

    One sensor node connected to SmartRF06 EB thru JTAG 10 pin to laptop , on anther end same setup

    one sensor node sending data to another by SmartRF studio.

    we want to check MAC ID of transmit sensor node and MAC ID of receiver sensor node

    pls. guide urgently

    thank you in advance

    Do you run Z-Stack example on your Sensor Node? Or, you use SmartRF Studio 7 to do RF TX/RX?

    Hi,
    Using SmartRF Studio 7 to do RF TX/RX

    Then, the revived packet is what you sent from TX side.

    i recevied all the packet and its hex format

    but i am able to trace the MAC address and PAN ID

    i want to trace PAN ID rather than MAC ID

    in the frame PAN ID is avaibale ?

    do u have same frame format with you?

    the same which SamrtRF06 stuido sent to Eval baord and then sensor node

    When you use SmartRF Studio 7 to send packets, there's no PANID and MAC address unless you add them in the packet by yourself.
