ZigBee SED: Unexpected event in E_NETWORK_JOIN -15 while joining a network

[dmsherazi]

I am trying to realize a SED by following the AN1184_ZBP_SleepingEndDevice ...

I am stuck here at this point. SED will start joining and then fail with below debug messages. This is the behavior of the prebuilt .bin file as well. I am using JN5169 as the coordinator and another JN5169 as the SED

NOTE: I have tried using the AN1223 and AN1216 binaries for the coordinator but the issue persists. I can make clear that the Same coordinator works well some zigbee pro light switches. and other demo examples from AN1189

Any One from NXP to answer here?

Hi Dost,

As you know the JN-AN-1184 is a Zigbee PRO Application Template. So, the app note doesn't have the default key, and that is the message you are seeing E_NETWORK_JOIN.

The application is missing the keys, but you have to define if you will work with HA or LL.
If you are using it on HA network, then application note JN-AN-1189 should be referred to add the keys and if the light link is used, the application notes JN-AN-1171 should be referred.

Example: PUBLIC uint8 au8DefaultTCLinkKey[16] = {HA or LL key};

And the end device initialize
ZPS_vAplSecSetInitialSecurityState(ZPS_ZDO_PRECONFIGURED_LINK_KEY,
                                                            au8DefaultTCLinkKey,
                                                            0x00,
                                                            ZPS_APS_GLOBAL_LINK_KEY);

Regards,
Mario

Thanks Mario, 

Indeed missing HA Keys was the issue and now the SED node does join the network properly. But I am facing another issue. The SED after reset loses previous network info and will again be looking for new network on every reboot.

After pressing the reset Key although the SED had joined a network before.

mario_castaneda‌ Please help in this regard

Hi Dost,

Did you send the leave request?

I follow the next steps:

1- Create the first network and the end device works as the demo.

2.-I sent the leave request.

3.The device looks for ZigBee networks. I sent the management request join.

Do you have the sniffer log?

The SED will look for new networks when in default state. Then When I enable permit join on Coordinator it joins and works fine. but if the SED Node is switched off it will again be in default state looking for new networks . (The same happens when the module rest pin is pulled low)  If I allow permit join again on coordinator it will join it again.

Hi Dost,

Could you please confirm the SDK and AN version? Also, Are you working with the Coordinator for this application node?

Do you have a sniffer?

Mario

[dmsherazi]

How can I get the version of AN from the source ?

[mario_castaneda]

Hi Dost,

I am working with the JN-AN-1184 version 1.6, the at the end of the page of the AN doc, it is mentioned.

SDK JN-AN-4168 version 1620

C:\NXP\bstudio_nxp\sdk\JN-SW-4168 build file

Are you working with the Coordinator for this application node?

Do you have a sniffer?

Best Regards,

Mario

Hi Mario, 

sdk version is -- Build Number 1620

AN version is 1.6

I am not using a sniffer. Furthermore coordinator is from JN-AN-1216.
