Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2531

Hi all,

I'm using GenericApp of z-stack mesh network. I have 1 ZC and 1 ZR. I turned on ZC first and then turned on ZR

I checked the Ubiqua Protocol Sniffer, I don't see the Beacon Request message.

Could you please show me that my ZR sends Beacon Request message to ZC automatically?

I'm building my ZR with defined symbols as below:

HAL_PA_LNA
NV_RESTORE
NWK_AUTO_POLL
NV_INIT

- Defined of ZC:

HAL_PA_LNA
NV_INIT
NV_RESTORE

Thank you very much,

Shinryu

What's your HW to test this?

Hi YiKai,

Thank for your reply,

My ZC is cc2531 USB dongle.
My ZR is GB2530, my customized HW

I have tested binding between ZED and ZC. It's OK.

BRs,

1. Since CC2531 USB dongle doesn't have PA on it. You shouldn't define HAL_PA_LNA in compile options.
2. Do you mean your GB2530 doesn't send beacon request after power on?

Hi YiKai,

Thank for your reply,

1. Thank you, i will remove and test it.
2. Yes, It didn't send beacon request after power on, but ZED did.

If you enable NV_RESTORE on ZR and the ZR joined Zigbee network before power recycle, the ZR won't send beacon requests to rejoin.

Hi YiKai,

Thank for your supports always,

So, If I removed NV_RESTORE in ZR and ZC, it'll send beacon request, right?
And then if I turned of ZC and turn on, ZR will rejoin network with another Short Address, right?

BRs,

Yes, ZR would sends beacon requests if you disable NV_RESTORE. And, if you power recycle ZC, ZR also need to power recycle to rejoin new network and it might get anther short address.

HI YiKai,

Your comment: ZR also need to power recycle to rejoin new network
--> ZR cannot rejoin NW without power recycle, Can you tell me reason and How to fix it? ( I though ZR will rejoin NW as ZED automatically)

If you don't enable NV_RESOTRE, ZED also need to power recycle to join new Zigbee network. This is because ZC/ZR/ZED still keep original network information in RAM. You have to do power recycle to clear it.
