... MB622 coordinator board 5 1.2 MB623 router board The MB623 (SN2X-PRIMER Router) board features of a ZigBee node: its capability to join a ZigBee network and to communicate with the Coordinator. Additionally, the MB263 board demonstrates how the ST SN260 is able to work as network co-processor jointly with an ST ST7Lite39 microprocessor. Using this solution, the application is executed in the ST ST7Lite39 and the ZigBee stack in the ST SN260 ...

... USB cable must remain plugged in for at least 12 hours. 1.4 Power-save mode The SN2X-PRIMER evaluation kit executes a power save mechanism for the Coordinator and the Router in order to increase the battery lifetime. If the Coordinator is not used for approximately 5 minutes, it sends a special broadcast sleep message (application defined) to all Routers to enter Power-save mode switching off the LCD, LEDs, and disabling the RF circuit ...

... RX-on-when-idle devices. This is a standard ZigBee device type. 2.2 Menu commands description The user interacts with the SN2xx-PRIMER evaluation kit through the LCD and the joystick available on the coordinator (MB622) board. By moving the joystick up, down, left or right, the user scrolls through the list of all available commands displayed on the LCD screen ...

... LetItBee Version 2.3 Scenario 1: Setting up a ZigBee network One of the main goals of the SN2X-PRIMER evaluation is to demonstrate the basic ZigBee network concepts used to form a simple two-node network using a Coordinator and a Router device. Generally, all nodes belonging to the same network communicate (transmit and receive) on the same channel, or frequency ...

... EUI (0080E100000009BE, for example). When the Router board is joined to a network, LED D1 is active (green). The SN2X-PRIMER evaluation kit supports also the possibility to add other devices to the basic SN2xx-PRIMER 2-node network. In this case, the Coordinator LCD displays the parameters of all devices and the types of messages exchanged with the Coordinator ...

... LCD also displays the EUI-64 address of the sender possible to use the command list to select a router destination address, after the Unicast message type selection, in case more than one router is joined to the SN2X-PRIMER network. The kit also provides information regarding the connection status between the nodes using the Coordinator LCD and the Router LED D1. In particular, when the Coordinator does not receive an acknowledgment by the Router, its LCD displays the “ ...

... All the information contained in the neighbor table are used to understand the details of the network layer's operation and therefore to discover possible issues. The SN2X-PRIMER displays the information stored in the Coordinator neighbor table through the Neighbor Table command. Table 4 lists the data displayed in the neighbor table ...

... Link Key. Both devices must have already established this key with one another prior to sending APS Secured data. The Link Key is established with the Coordinator (Trust Center) after the device joins the network. The SN2X-PRIMER evaluation tool uses the Standard security service to demonstrate the security features. 2.7.2 ...
