Zigbee Device Association procedure

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi,

I am working with Z-Stack 1.2.1 HA profile. I am facing a problem that when I send permit join, one of my routers is present in the network but it doesn't join the co-ordinator. I don't even have a sniffer log currently because this problem is not persistent, but I will surely update later.

To understand where I am going wrong I need to understand following things:

1) When a router joins a network in which api I can check the status?

2) What are the cases when a router is in the network but doesn't get added to the coordinator?

3) Which are the api's in Z-Stack through which I can debug the association procedure?

4) Are there any good blogs or posts through which I can understand the association procedure in Z-Stack thoroughly?

Also I am using SampleLight application for testing.

If a device joins Zigbee network, it will get ZDO_STATUS_CHANGE event so you can check the event to know it. You can refer to Zigbee spec to understand association process better. By the way, Zigbee sniffer is very useful when developing Zigbee protocol. I suggest you to set up one.

Thank you for replying, I will set a breakpoint on ZDO_STATUS_CHANGE event to check what happens. Will update you shortly.
And I am using ZBOSS sniffer for testing, because It is the only open source software for this purpose. Do you suggest any other sniffer for this purpose?

ZBOSS sniffer is good for Zigbee sniffer too.
