ZigBee: How to increment Maximum Depth in BeeStack Codebase

[Spell]

Hi all,
I must build a custom application with a very particular network topology.
I have a hundred of devices arranged along one line, that means that one device can see at best another 4 devices. So all my devices must be zigbee router.
With the beestack codebase the maximum depth allowed is 15 but with my network topology I need to increase this value.
Anyone can help me?

regards, Filippo

Fhillipo,

First of all the ZigBee specification specifies that the maximum depth is 15.

(Look for nwkcMaxDepth in the spec), but the Stack profile 1 that specifies what is implemented and tested specifies a depth of 5.

If you need to move beyond this you should consider using a 802.15.4 Beacon mode tree network.

Hi AmZig,
ZigBee use a hiercachical routing for build its tree network.
