  • Hi,

    the second coordinator who is brought up later will select another PANID. In the specific case, it will be 0x1235

    Thanks,

  • hey,

    what will happen if the two networks are powered up out of range and then meet each other?

    know someone?

    Thanks

  • Hi Hauke,

    PANID conflict resolution is implemented in Z-Stack. When a coordinator/router receives Beacon packet which has been broadcast by another coordinator/router, it will check both the PANID and the extended PANID conveyed by the Beacon packet. If it notices that the PANID matches its own but the extended PANID doesn't, it will report PANID conflict situation to the network manager as which normally the coordinator acts so that the network manager changes PANID and requests all the nodes in the network to follow.
