Mesh Network with GenericApp: End Device join network automatically

Shinryu

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

HI all,

I want to make the mesh network which end devices are mobile node. The network has many router for End Device join and send data to Coordinator. When end device is out of range of router, end device will discovery and join the near router as possible

The sample GenericApp of z-stack only allows the device join network by SW trigger.

Could you give me any document or solution for that?

Thank you very much

Do you intend to allow any new device to join your Zigbee network? If so, you can enable permit join on all of your ZC and ZRs. However, this is not recommended.

Hi YiKai,

Thank for your answer,
Yes, because my end device is mobile node. if it's out of range current router, it will join nearest router.

How to enable permit join on all of ZC and ZRs? What does mean 'Not recommended'? Can you tell more details? (Sorry I'm new to Zigbee)

Thank you very much.

You can call NLME_PermitJoiningRequest(0xFF) in your application init function to allow device to join all the time. If you enable this, it mean any device can join your Zigbee network any time and this will cause security problems.
