What are the 201 bytes returned in a THR_EventNwkCreate.Confirm's Data field. What does an EventStatus of SelectBestChannel indicate? How do you force a network to be created on a specific channel? For example...

The events that come through THCI_EvMonitor (in thci.c), are they defined anywhere? THR_EventGeneral.Confirm and THR_EventNwkCommissioning.Indication are defined in the THCI reference manual, but seemingly not anywhere else.

Thanks,

Ryan

Also, what are the possible values for EventStatus?

Hello Ryan,

- What are the values in the EnergyDetectList array (what do they mean, what units, etc.) in an THR_EventNwkScan.Confirm?

EnergyDetectList [16 bytes] Displays the resulting list of the energy detected (hex) in the channels provided in "ScanChannelMask" when queried "THR_NwkScanRequest". These results are in dBm * (-1).

ie. [43, 77, 6D,..] --> [-67 dBm, -119 dBm, -109 dBm, ...]

- What are the 201 bytes returned in a THR_EventNwkCreate.Confirm's Data field.

This data is the evntMonitorData_t --> aData[] (thrEventData_t) information resulted from the ChannelScan.

Which includes NwkScanResults, MacReceivedDifferentKeyIndex, BeaconInformation.

The size will depend on the number of channels to be scanned.

ie. If there's only 1 channel to scan: 201, if there are 16 channels to scan: 216

Last 1 (min) or 16(max) bytes contain the Energy Detect results per channel.

- What does an EventStatus of SelectBestChannel indicate?

That the Network will be created based on the performed Channel Scan results from scanning the channel mask

(THR_SCANCHANNEL_MASK) to detect the less congested channel.

- How do you force a network to be created on a specific channel?

Prior creating the network, manually set an specific channel and panid. When this is performed, you will notice that the THR_EventNwkCreate.Confirm with Status of "SelectBestChannel" will be omitted.

ie.

shell:

"thr set channel 17"

"thr set panid 0x1234"

thcd:

"THR_SetAttrRequest(AttributeID='Channel', Value = '17') "

"THR_SetAttrRequest(AttributeID='ShortPanId', Value = '0x1234') "

Hope this helps,

Those are Network Create Events. See: thrEvCodesCreate_t

please,

how to choose the right scan channel? i have tried to use the default one set in test tool but i have not obtained result

Thanks
