CC2538: Is it possible to permit joining for all routers in the network at the same time?

Part Number: CC2538

Hello,

im using a CC2538 ZNP based coordinator with a couple of routers in the network. Id like to include more devices which are out of range of my coordinator but in range of other routers in the network. I know that I can permit joining for specific routers via MGMT_PERMIT_JOIN_REQ, but since I do not know which of the device is nearby it would be great if there would be a way to permit joining for all existing routers. Can I do this somehow?

Regards

You can broadcast permit join to make all ZRs enable permit join.

I just found that there is a special broadcast address (0xFFFC) which broadcasts to all routers and coordinator. Will this work as DstAddr with MGMT_PERMIT_JOIN_REQ?

Yes, that should work.

Yes, that's what I do in my application.
