You can't. The 802.15.4 protocol that the S1 uses does not support data forwarding or routing.

Hi,

That is not possible. In the 802.15.4 protocol there are only two roles: coordinator and end device.

If you want to have routers, you should use other protocol like ZigBee (XBee Series 2).

Regards.

Hello to everyone.
What are the differences between the coordinator and the last point in the Serial 1 Xbee device?

I communicate by giving myID on both devices, but that did not make sense to me. I want to communicate with myID via coordinator routing without using MAC addresses.

how do I configure it?
I want to set up a network with 2 coordinators 10 endpoints.

can you help me please?
