Hi,
As the Zigbee Base Device Behavior Specification provides 2 different to find and bind 2 devices.
Finding & binding procedure for an initiator endpoint.
In this procedure, the initiator endpoint first searches for identifying target endpoints and if one is found, its simple descriptor is requested. The initiator endpoint then searches for any matching clusters between itself and the target endpoint and for each match found, it creates a corresponding entry in its binding table.
In this case, the JN-AN-1217 is implementing a Finding & binding procedure for a target endpoint
This section defines the finding & binding procedure for a target endpoint. In this procedure, the target endpoint identifies itself for a finite duration and then handles subsequent finding & binding requests from an initiator endpoint.
In other words, the coordinator and the end device are defined as an initiator.
4.2.4 Binding Nodes (Coordinator)
‘Finding and Binding’ is the process whereby controlling devices find controlled devices by matching operational clusters and create entries in the Binding table. The Coordinator supports Finding and Binding as an ‘Initiator’ that tries to find targets to bind to
4.4.4 Binding Devices
The End Device supports ‘Finding and Binding’ as an Initiator that tries to find targets to bind to.
and the Router.
4.3.4 Binding Devices
The Router supports the On/Off cluster as a server and implements the Finding and Binding process as a Target.
Trigger the bind, the Router to self-identify for 180 seconds, while the Initiator will try to find the identifying devices, query their capabilities, and create bindings on those with matching operational clusters.
So, you have to bind the router with the ED or the Coordinator.
Regards,
Mario
