How to get Z-Stack to talk with X-Bee stack profile

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hello,

   I've figured out that the Digi X-Bee module uses its own stack profile, some bastardized version of Zigbee that is not compatible with standard Z-Stack. I've seen instructions on how to switch stack profiles on the X-Bee, but that's not an option for me. 

   How do I change Z-Stack to communicate with X-Bee's stack profile? I figure that someone else must have done this already.

Thanks,

Derek

  • Hello Derek,

    In Z-Stack the stack profile is in the file nwk_globals.h to STACK_PROFILE_ID. Typically this value is set to 2 indicating the ZigBee Pro Profile. 

    I am not sure what stack profile ID Xbee devices are using. Can you please attach a sniffer capture (using ubiqua or texas instruments packet sniffer) where I can see the beacon from the Xbee Module. This would help me understand the stack profile ID used by Xbee Module. 

    Also, is that issue that the devices based on Z-Stack dont event send association request to the Xbee Moduile coordinator or vice versa. Or can you describe the issue you have.

    Regards
