Series 2 Join Notification

Question

Using firmware version 1320 for the end device and 1120 for the coordinator, I have set JN to 1, AO to 0 for both.

Taking DIO0 momentarily low or issuing "ND" command from the coordinator gets the Node Identification frame as I am expecting.

However, resetting the end device, or powering down/up does NOT prompt it to sent a correct response on joining the PAN.

Have I missed something or is the manual in error?

Answer 1

The firmware version that you have is giving the behavior that I would expect for the Join Indicator features (section 5.4 in the 1x2x manual). I would not expect a /RESET or power OFF/ON to send a Join Verification.

The behavior that I would expect from the 1x4x firmware version would be to send a Join Verification on a /RESET or power OFF/ON. The 1x4x firmware has not yet been released but should be available for download from our site soon.

Answer 2

It was section 5.4 in the manual that led me to think I ought to receive an ND response packet when the device joined the PAN.

But if it's coming in the next release that's great.
Look forward to it.

Thanks

Answer 3

Yes when the device JOINS the PAN it does send a Join Notification but when you /RESET or power OFF/ON the device it does not re-join the network. It simply stays joined to the network it was previously joined to (again this will change with the addition of the JV - Join Verification parameter in 1x4x).

Answer 4

Ah! Got it.

Thanks for the clarification.
I'm being a bit dense today.
